A Quiet Snowy Night

Hello Bloggies!  I've several new followers since I have "Welcomed" anyone, so Welcome to my new friends and old friends, too! 

I hope you are all having some beautiful weather like we are here.  I absolutely love Fall!  It's a pretty close tie with Spring on my favorites list.

It's time today for another challenge at My Sheri Crafts and we were challenged by Charlotte to "create a project that is all about the night".  I had to get some Christmas card sets ready and one of the scenes I used looked like a quiet, snowy night so I used it.

 This is completely an Imagine project using the Snow Angel cartridge with a bit of ribbon I bought at Wal-Mart last winter.  I love this coordinating paper, also from this cartridge.

As I looked at the picture, I decided it wasn't necessarily a nighttime scene, so I used my white gel pen to add a moon and stars, so now it is definitely a nighttime scene!  :)

So come on over to My Sheri Crafts and join in with your night project!  See you there!

Save The Hooters!

I have this fun stamp that I won from Fresh Brewed Designs through the Link Up For Pink challenge sometime last year and had never used.  Well, this week our theme at Tuesday Throwdown is to "Make An Awareness Card" (i.e. Breast Cancer, MS, Leukemia, PCOS, Heart Disease, etc.)  so I decided it's a perfect time to use my stamp!

 The papers are all from my stash and the XOXO and pink circle papers are scraps.  The cute dotted ribbon is from this week's sponsor- Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I heat embossed the stamp in white and added a little "bow" with more of the dotted ribbon, then cut it out with Creative Memories circle cutters.

 The paper flowers have been in my stash for a LONG time, the brad was included in some things I bought from a friend.

Isn't that a fun card?  I really enjoyed using it and send another late "Thank You" to Fresh Brewed Designs for the stamp!  Now come on over to Tuesday Throwdown and join us with your awareness card!

On a more serious note, as you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  I honor my mother who lost her fight with breast cancer that had spread to the bone back in 1993.  20 years ago in December.  It sure doesn't seem that long!  I also honor my sister who is a breast cancer survivor-16 years ago!  Be proactive ladies!  Get 'em checked!

Thank You Sew Much - My Sheri Crafts #120

Hello!  Happy Saturday!  We are having some beautiful Autumn weather.  I love this time of year!  The weather is cooling off and makes me think of evenings cozied up in my chair cross-stitching.  So this week's challenge at My Sheri Crafts is perfect!  Sue chose the theme "Stitch In Time"-make a project which includes a sewing theme. 

I chose this cute bear digi, "Patch", from Stamping Boutique to make a Thank You Card:

 I used Spellbinders dies to cut him out.  The patterned paper is from Melody Ross.

He's colored with my Spectrum Noir markers and I used a silver glitter gel pen to accent some of the dots around him.

 The sentiment is computer generated and cut out with Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and some gems from my stash.  I've used some of them on the corners of the image cut, too.  I've anchored the sentiment with a little bit of ribbon and some flower brads.

The inside is completed with scraps!  I really like how this card turned out!

 

So come on over to My Sheri Crafts and stitch up some fun!  Thanks for stopping by!

My 30th Anniversary and A Mousey Birthday

Happy Anniversary to my sweet husband!  It's our 30th today! 

 This picture is from our 25th, but we pretty much look like this still :)  If we go crazy and get new pics taken on this anniversary, I'll share them later.  I love this man!!!!

But now I need to move on to our Tuesday Throwdown challenge.  This week our theme is Clean and Simple and we are sponsored by A Whiff of Joy.  She let us use some of her super cute images to create our projects. 

I used a white card base and some papers I found in my stash that were in a little 4x4 pad like a sticky note pad.  I have no idea where they came from.  I turned the striped squares in opposite directions and cut one of the polka dot sheets in half. 

Isn't he just as cute as he can be???  I colored him up with my Spectrum Noir pens.

I've had these plastic pieces in my stash for YEARS, just waiting for the right use. 

Clean and simple--a very easy theme so come on over and join us!  See you there!  Oh--be sure to check out all the other amazing work of the design team over at Tuesday Throwdown!

Another Football Birthday card

I have a super easy card today.  Easy, but I really like it!  This is for one of my Sunday School kids:

 

 I used the "Frame" feature on the Sports Mania cartridge, sized with my Gypsy.   The sentiment stamp is from Cardz TV.

This "Go Wild" cut is from Create a Critter and I matched up the font fairly closely with Cricut Craft Room Basics.  Our team here is the Wildcats and our colors are black & gold)

Just a fun, simple card and I'm entering it here:

Girls just wanna' have fun!

 Hello!  I just have a quick card to share today.  The other day I was sitting at my worktable, looking at various digis laying around that I have colored and left laying there.  So I decided it's time to use them!  This is a Whoopsi Daisy image that I had colored with my colored pencils.  Isn't she a cutie?

The patterned paper is from my stash, bought from a friend who was selling all of her stuff.  The image is mounted on a Fancy Florals Spellbinders cut, trimmed with lace given to me from another friend.  White Paper Studio flowers, dyed with alcohol inks were added.  In the center of each flower I used a brad from my stash.  Around the digi I added glass beads, then on the brads in the flowers I added a single pearl.  In the corners I

used stamps from Just Rite. 

I was really pleased with the result and happy to use up one more of the digi's I've left laying around!

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you are having a great week!
