Challenges in our Twisted Thursday group are always Anything Goes with an Optional twist!  This week the twist is "Add a charm".

This week I have used a fun digi from Milk Coffee for an anniversary card:

The embossing folder is from Cuttlebug, the tag is a Cricut cut and the sentiment stamp is from Pink By Design.

I'd love to have you join our group at The Outlawz! You do have to become a member to join in the challenges, but it's free and you get welcomed by the designers!  There are new challenges every day of the week and lots of great sponsors and prizes.  Come join in the fun!

Flowers For Her

OOPS!  I failed to get my post for Tuesday Throwdown up yesterday!  This week we are sponsored by Robyn's Fetishand our theme is "Flowers For Her". 

I've used our sponsor image "Spring Cart_ for my card.

The background cut is a Silouhette cut file.  The herringbone paper is from The Paper Studio.  One advantage of being stuck in my recliner lately is that I've watched some videos for tying bows, so I finally learned how to make this double bow!

I hope you'll join us for this fin, easy theme this week! Thanks for dropping by!

Birthday card with Coordinating Envelope

This week at My Sheri Crafts, Marge has chosen "Create a birthday card & coordinating envelope" for our theme.  I love making a matching/coordinating envelope, I just don't seem to take the time to do it very often!

I made a quick Birthday card with an image I had colored quite some time back.  It's from Designed To Delight.  I colored it with colored pencils and used a piece of ribbon from a spool I've had for years.  The bottom of the card is embossed and I used the same folder to emboss the flap of the envelope.  It's hard to see, but I promise it's there!


I know this card is pretty basic and very CAS, but it was actually the first one I made the day I finally got back into my craft room after surgery (even though others have been posted here in front of this one). I really liked how it turned out, so I went with it!

Come on over and join us at My Sheri Crafts!

A Quick Thank You card

Today is the day for another challenge at The Outlawz !  We are sponsored again this week by 

Challenges in our Twisted Thursday group are always Anything Goes with an Optional twist!  This week the twist is "Anything Goes". That's right, it's totally ANYTHING GOES!!!

I made a quick Thank You card with another of Sherri's cute images. 

The embossing folder is from Cricut, and the paper flower is from Creative Memories.  I added a little gem to the center 'cause you just gotta have at least a little bit of bling!  The image is colored, as usual, with Spectrum Noir markers.

Sending a huge "THANK YOU" to Sherri Baldy for sponsoring us this month and sharing some of her little cuties with us!

I hope you'll join us this week at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday!

I'm back!  I did have Gall Bladder surgery last Thursday and since I haven't been up and around, I've been coloring!  Today I finally braved the stairs to go down to my craft area and make a couple of quick Thank You cards.  This one is with the image from 

for the Freebie/Progressive Challenge at The Outlawz.

The inside says "I Toadily Appreciate You!"  The embossing is a Cricut Cuttlebug folder and the dragonfly ribbon is from Michaels.

Today is the day for another challenge at The Outlawz !  We are sponsored again this week by 

Challenges in our Twisted Thursday group are always Anything Goes with an Optional twist!  This week the twist is "Add A Sentiment". Easy peasy right?

My image is colored with Spectrum Noir markers and punched it out with a Spellbinders die.  The greenery is a Sissix die and the flower is from The Paper Studio.

We're Up In The Air at Tuesday Throwdown !

Hi!  Yes, this post is really late for a Tuesday, but I've been having issues!  My Gall Bladder has decided to die off on me, so I've had attacks almost every evening and as soon as I left work today I went to Springfield to meet the surgeon and schedule surgery.  So, Thursday morning that little organ will be leaving me!

So.... on to our challenge at Tuesday Throwdown!  We are sponsored this week by 

and our theme is "Up In The Air - Things That Fly"

I used Lacy Sunshine's "Jamie & Maddie" image for my card.  I colored this right after I saw my granddaughter and her date dressed for prom and was inspired by their colors.  I initially was going to make a layout page for their prom pictures, but another gall bladder attack was setting in when I needed to get the project done and I knew I didn't have enough time to make a layout, so I made this card instead. 

The image is cut out with a Spellbinders die and the doves are Cricut cuts. I think the paper is from Die Cuts With a View.

And here is my inspiration.....

This is my oldest granddaughter, Kaylee, and her boyfriend, Jake. The cabin was my Mom's craft cabin and the new owner of the farm was nice enough to let them come out and take pictures there.  Personally, I think she's beautiful!!!!!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you'll join us this week!
