September work birthday cards 9-9-10

Theses are birthday cards for work that I finally had the time to sit and do. The butterfly cards is from a print out at Craftsuprint There are so many cool things on there! And the prices at CUP aren't bad either. Once you pay and download them, they are yours to use as much as you want. The other is a House Mouse stamp that is from my momma's collection. I love HM stamps! I really need to start playing the lottery so I can buy them all. Hope you like them.

Birthday Card Organizer, Pocketbook notebook, and card set 3-3-10

I just did this new card organizer book with one of the House Mouse stamps I colored last night. I love how it turned out. I think I may have to look for that stamp! Super cute. But, aren't all the HM stamps !!! I did the little book and card recently also and thought they all looked cute together. May have to send it to a special someone in my life ;0)

Stamped Images colored with Copics 3-3-10

I need to sell some of my Sizzix Alpha's that I don't use anymore, so I can buy more Copic Markers. I only have 17 or 18 so far and I NEED more !!! They are so easy to use and so easy to blend. Sooooo much better than my BIC markers ;0)

These images were received in different swaps over time and were so much fun to color.

I'm thinking of doing a blog candy type thing where you send an envelope of stamped images to put your name in a drawing for a Calendar book. Do you think that would be a good idea? Hmmmmmmm........

Can anyone tell me where any of these images came from? Names, manufacturers, etc....would be really helpful. Oh......I'm just getting more and more addicted to this paper crafting life.

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!

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.

Christmas cards for a friends son at work 9-21-09

A girl at works son made the people in his family birdhouses for Christmas. She asked if I had any stamps that would make good Christmas cards for him. She only needed 6 of them, so I whipped these together. I just LOVE House Mouse! The card bases are the packs of 10 cards that you can get at Michaels. The rest is cardstock, ribbon, etc. from my stash. They didn't take too long to do and were a lot of fun. She said they were perfect =0)

When she asked me how much I wanted for each I had no idea. I'm sooooooo horrible at that. I told her just to catch up with me later and whatever she felt was

appropriate would be fine. Any ideas girls ? How do you price your stuff?

Hugs,

Sherry

First time using Prima Colored Pencils 8-16-09

My parents sent me an awesome set of Prisma Colored Pencils! They are just amazing. I love having so many shades to work with. They blend beautifully with the colored pencil blender pen by National too. I've been working with this House Mouse stamp alot lately, so I figured it would be the perfect one to use today. I love the difference. Wish I didn't have to work today so I could play some more!

House Mouse Strawberries Card 8-7-09

Today has been a rough day. My bp is up and I'm not feeling good. I took a nap earlier to try to get rid of this stinkin headache and it just wont budge. Anyway....trying to just fool around with some cards...trying to relax and "rest" as the dr made me promise I'd do. I feel horrible because the girls at work had a cake for me today and I ruined their plans along with my husbands plans to suprise me with flowers at work tonight. Not the way I like to miss work. I really love the people I work with. Its a great crew =0)

Hope you like the card.....oh yeah......it smells like strawberries too!!! Thanks to cardscents
from Cindy at StampingScrapping.com I love, love, love her cardscents!!! They just add a little something extra to your cards. I only have 6 smells right now.....hope to build them slowly so I don't break the bank.

Hope you are having a blessed day.
Hugs....Sherry

Cards made this week 7-11-09

The mouse cards is for my husbands aunt who is in the hospital. It is the first time I used that stamp and it is so cute! I really like the simplicity of the card too. The other cards are using scrap that I had left over from another project. They are little note cards. Let me know what you think.
