QKR Stampede Challenge - Angels

Hi, gals!

I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving!  Are you still too full from all the turkey & stuffing? I promise myself every year that I won't eat so much and then it starts coming out of the oven & you smell it ........I guess we are all allowed one day a year to just indulge!

The QKR Stampede challenge for today is "Angels" and I have chosen a really cute image for a thank you card.  Digi # 13007 Helping Hands.

Check out all the cute digi stamps at QKR Stampede or choose your own favorite angel image! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Hugs,

Sherri

QKR Stampede Challenge - Give Thanks!

I'm back!!

For those of you who have wondered where my usual Friday QKR Stampede post has been for the past couple of weeks, I have been moving from Iowa to Lincoln, Nebraska!  What an adventure! After living in the same house for over 41 years, there was a lot of "stuff" that needed to be packed & moved or discarded or donated.  Made me wish I had taken my daughter's advice years ago to purge everything you haven't used in a year!  ha ha

This week's challenge is "Give Thanks" and is a fitting one for me!  I am really giving thanks for the loyal friends who helped me pack & move, especially Gail!  I don't know how I would have done it without all her help!  And then, of course, there was my own family who helped me unpack & put all of my "stuff" away!  I have been truly blessed!

I'm LOVING my new place!  Everything is on one floor & my craft room is gigantic! And even better, it opens onto a sunroom where I can relax between cards once the weather improves.

My digi image for today is #14515-Hunting Turkey.  I'm guessing among the things he is thankful for is the second ammendment!  ha ha

My new place is in a park-like setting with tons of Canadian Geese.  They tell me there are also deer and fox, but I haven't seen either of those yet!

Thanks for checking in & waiting until I was back!  I've REALLY missed posting!

Dies R Us Challenge - Tags (for anything)

Hello, friends!

Are you ready to start thinking of Christmas?  Well, it is never too early and if you are, then you may also be thinking about creating some gorgeous gift tags for all those presents under the tree!  The theme this week is tags and while you can choose any type, I decided to go with Christmas tags.

The dies I used were the following:  Memory Box Cross Stitched Frame Borders and Tutti Scrolly Deer Edge.  I cut both from glitter cardstock.


I'm going to keep this post short because I am in the process of moving!  What an adventure!  And what a LOT of work!  I'll be moving to Lincoln, Nebraska where my daughter & her family live.

Head on over to Dies R Us and join in the challenge with something of your own & you may be the lucky winner of a gift voucher to the fabulous store!

See you soon!

QKR Stampede Challenge # 215 - Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Thought I would say that a couple of days early as I'm not sure I will be able to post on the actual day.   A lot of things have been happening and I am actually moving to Nebraska to live!  So, in case I am busy packing (or moving) Happy Halloween!

My card for today uses digi # 14314 Riding.  There is no cuter little witch anywhere!

If you haven't already finished all your Halloween cards, come join the challenge for you chance to win some fabulous digi stamps!

Try not to eat too much candy!

QKR Stampede Challenge # 214 - Wild West

Hi, everyone!

Grab your cowboy hat & get ready for this week's wild, wild west theme! Head over to the QKR Stampede store for one of the darling images we carry!  I chose digi # 16007 Pony Express for my card today.  He was too cute to pass up, and what says the wild west better than the pony express!

This image would be perfect for a guy's birthday card wouldn't it?  And we all know how hard those are to make!

Hope your weekend will be fantastic! Enjoy the weather while it holds!  Old man winter will be here all too quickly!

Dies R Us Challenge - Fall

Hello, again!

Well, it's the 15th of the month again & time for another fun & fabulous challenge at Dies R Us Challenge Blog!  This time the theme is "Fall" and what a great theme for this time of year! The store is just filled to capacity with all kinds of wonderful fall & Halloween related dies!  As you know, our business has expanded so greatly that we even had to move to a bigger location where we can offer you even MORE fantastic dies!

For my contribution this time, I pulled out a lot of my favorite dies & just "played" with them!
It's amazing what you can come up with when you just let your imagination go!

Here are the dies I used!               Impression Obsession Cat Set

                                                      Memory Box Grand Forest Archway

                                                      Impression Obsession Leaf Cluster

                                                      Impression Obsession Bushel of Apples

                                                      Poppy Stamps Rustic Wagon

This looks exactly like my front yard (minus the wagon & apples).  The leaves have been falling since September & the sad thing is NONE of them are from a tree in MY yard!  The neighbor has a huge tree in his parking & it drops something all year long! Seeds, pods, leaves....it never ends! And because of it's location, none of them drop in HIS yard!  And none of my friends will park close to it because of the birds that sit in it all day!  ha ha  

Head on over to the Dies R Us Challenge Blog & see what you can enter for a chance to win a gift certificate to the amazing store! 

See you soon!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

QKR Stampede Challenge # 212- Autumn Leaves

Hello, again!

Today's challenge at QKR Stampede is a perfect one for this time of the year!  I don't know about where you live, but on my street, the leaves are already starting to turn...and to FALL!  So grab your supplies & see what you can come up with & join our weekly challenge!  Here is mine post for today!  I used digi # 18806 Scarecrow & Leaves, added a couple of fun dies & he was ready to go!

You may not be able to see it, but both the pumpkins and the leaves have stitching. And, of course, no image is complete without a coat of Wink of Stella!

Enjoy your weekend!  And enjoy the fall colors while they last!  We are supposed to have an early winter!

QKR Stampede Weekly Challenge # 211 - Cut It Up! (Cutting, punches or dies)

Hello, gals!

Can you believe it is not only the end of the week, but the last day of September?  Where did the summer go!  Guess we have to enjoy the next month before the weather starts to cool & winter comes sliding in again.  I guess it was a good choice on my part to do a Christmas card for this weeks challenge!  ha ha  Once I saw this digi, I just HAD to have it!  This little charmer is digi # 35403 Holly Moose!  Have you ever seen a moose this much into the holiday spirit before?

Since the challenge was to also use either punches or dies, I grabbed for my favorite dies, Frantic Stamper Holly Card Band & Cherry Lynn Holly Corner.  They just seemed the perfect compliment to this little guy and the holly paper.

I also made this card with the same stamp & paper.  Love, love, love this image!

Grab your favorite stamps, dies or punches & see what you can come up with for your entry!

Enjoy your weekend!
