2 new Easel Cards 2-25-10

I think the Easel Card is one of my new favorites to make. It is so easy but so much fun. The birthday card is for my ?????? for her birthday. I've got some other stuff to make to go with it but will post it later on. The other card is for a girl I've known since highschool. She is very dear to my heart and one of the sweetest and most giving people I know. This is a thank you for being such a great friend. She has even done some stuff for my parents that really meant a lot to us.

Hope you all have a great day!

2-11-2010 House Mouse and Friends Blog Challenge

I made this card for a House Mouse and Friends Blog Hop and Challenge. The deadline is 2-14-10 so hurry and go check it out. The DT girls have done an amazing job.

I hope you like my entry.

Stamps are House Mouse Blueberry Delight HMUR1068 and Eat Dessert First QR1057. I stamped them with Graphite Black Archival Brilliance Ink and colored them with Prismacolor pencils: sand, ginger root, bronze, blush pink, peach beige, chocolate, seashell pink, copenhagen blue. I also used a white gelly roll pen, fine glitter, my Cuttlebug with distressed stripes and textile embossing folders, my Creative Memories Oval Cutter, as well as used some buttons and ribbon from my stash. Oh yeah, and a frequent favorite of mine.... Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo.

Enjoy your blog hop!!! I know I did. Good luck to everyone that is entering!!!
Hugs,
Sherry

10-11-09 Birthday Card Christmas House Mouse

This is another of my December Birthday cards for work. I just love House Mouse.
I wish I would have done a little better centering the bow.... but it looks okay. I even pulled my crimper out on this one. Haven't used that baby in a while. I really like the look it gives. I may end up adding some kind of sentiment inside too. It is looking kinda plain. Although we have a lot of people at work that have to sign it. Only two more cards to go for my December birthdays at work. I'm having a blast making all these cards and learning new techniques as I go. After I get the birthdays done I need to make my parents anniversary card. I'm on the hunt for a new type of card I have tried yet. Things the the trifold card, gate card, diamond fold, etc. Any suggestions? I want something really, really cool. I don't mind a lot of work. It will be a very special card.

Thanks for looking.

Sherry

10-9-09 Stampin Up Christmas Birthday Reindeer Card

Okay..this is my
last card for today.
We are getting ready to go out to eat with friends. This is the Reindeer from the Holiday LineUp set from Stampin Up that I got in 2008.

It is another birthday card for a girl at work. 3 down, 3 to go. Woo Hoo. I love when my mojo is flowing !!!

Birthday Diamond Fold Card 9-12-09

I got this idea from Dawn's YouTube Video . I love her stuff. These cards are addictive and so much fun to make. They'd be great for holiday cards too. I made this card for one of my neice's for her birthday. I hope she likes it.

Hugs,
Sherry

Owl Gatefold Card 7-12-09

I actually started this in the morning and then we decided to go to Busch Gardens. I love it there !!! Plus, we got to play with our friends little boys. It brings back so many great memories of when our boys were little. I love spending time with them.

I'm trying to use up some of my scrap paper and get better at my stamping technique. I'm starting to get better images I think. Thanks to lots of blog hopping and everyone sharing their techniques! I bought this little owl a while ago out of the Michael's $1 bin. He is soooo cute. I love the gate fold A2 card look too. I'm trying to get out of my rut of everything being the same. I really need to get in gear and get caught up in my scrapbooking =0) Cards are just so much fun and give immediate gratification though. Lol.....hope you like it.

Feel free to let me know what you think.....
Thanks for looking at my blog.
Hugs,
Sherry

Stamping Bella Birthday Card 6-30-09

I made this card a while ago and was having a really hard time giving it away. Isn't that silly =0) I'm fairly new to card making and really liked the way this one turned out. So, today is a good friends birthday, and I'm ready to share this card. She is newly addicting to card making and scrapbooking. I hope she likes it. I even added a little bit of frosting scent from Cindy at StampingScrapping.com ......I really love her scents. I need to order more =0)
Let me know what you think of my card. I have the day off from work and hope to get some more stuff done and posted.
Hope you are having a great day and thanks for visiting my blog....

More cards

Okay these are some more cards that I've done lately. I'm gonna try to make some more tomorrow after I get two more scrapbook pages done. I'm almost caught up with regular ones. Then I have two years of baseball pictures !!!!! I really shouldn't get behind. It is so hard to get caught back up. All these moves made it hard. Oh well. I've got the here and now right !!!
