Merry Monday 100

I don't normally play along with color or inspiration challenges because frankly they scare me.

But when I saw this weeks sketch and color challenge over at Merry Monday I just had to play along.

Here is my card.

I finally inked up this sweet bunny stamp that I bought before Christmas. Isn't he the cutest thing. I think I got him from Purple Onion.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me. ~ hugs Sherry ~

hello sweet friend ~ STS16

Tuesday and time for a new sketch over at Seize the Sketch!

This week we are working with this sketch. 

Definitely a fun sketch with lots of possiblities. 

I am still loving my 'chickadee' stamp set by Technique Tuesday as well as this new paper collection by Amy Tangerine called Plus One.

hello

Just a quick card to my share that I created for new challenge Virginia's View. You can get all the details here.

I just got this new Technique Tuesday Chickadee stamp that I have been wanting for awhile and it was perfect.

I embossed the chickadees and then did a quick wash of color with my brush and water colors. The papers by Lawn Fawn were a gift from my friend Rose.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

retro sketches #47

It is freezing here today in Minnesota and I think our current temp is -12 F with a high of 0 forecast. Yesterday we didn't even get out of the negative numbers.

I couldn't sleep this morning and was up before the chickens so caught up on a couple of shows that I watch and created a few cards.

First up is a card I created for this weeks challenge over at Retro Sketches.

I used one of my favorite stamps that I picked up at Michael's for a $1 awhile back along with a sentiment by Technique Tuesday, paper is Neenah solar white linen (my favorite). The little gems are from my stash.

Here is a look at the great sketch for this week.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

celebrate the season ~ MM #47

Have I told you I love Monday's? 

I love Merry Monday and this week we have a theme challenge for you to try.

Yep, we want you to use a bird on your card.

I didn't have a stamp of a bird so dug through my Project Life journal cards and found this terrific one. 

I decided to go a little non-traditional with this Christmas Card. 

I think it works, what do you think?

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

happy halloween

I have been in a mood to make Halloween cards the past couple days and wish that we were having some nice fall weather to go along with that. 

I created this card for this weeks challenge over at the Paper Players. I used papers and twine from the doodlebug designs collection "haunted manor", the ghost image is from "tremendous treats: halloween" by PTI. The sentiment is by Technique Tuesday from "halloween circles".

Here is this weeks sketch over at the Paper Players.

I love making Halloween cards so be watching my blog for more in the very near future.

Thanks for stopping by to look.

I have a quick card to share with you that I created for the newest sketch challenge over at Skipping Stone Designs.

I loved the sketch and could not wait to use some of my new Simple Stories "harvest lane" papers and Technique Tuesday "autumn afternoons". I love any stamp set that Ali Edwards designs. Makes me wish I could write like her.

Here is this weeks fabulous sketch. I can see myself using this one over and over again.

Thanks for stopping by to look and I am going to try and do a better job of posting on my blog in the future.

you are the best

I can't believe that it is already February 1st, where did January go?

I worked on a card for the Anniversary celebration over at CPS and today's card features sketch 166.

For my card I used papers by Authentique from the "gathering" collection along with a MFT doily, sentiment is Ali Edwards from Technique Tuesday and buttons are PTI.

I just love the look of soft blue and chocolate brown together.

Thanks for stopping by to look.

your love fills my heart

I played with a few more of the items I picked up at Archivers yesterday and created this card.

I used papers by Dear Lizzy from the "neapolitan" collection, sentiment is a Technique Tuesday stamp by Ali Edwards. I created the flower by cutting a square and then rolling it to form the flower, leaves are Spellbinders "foliage" dies and the butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch.

I used CPS sketch 136 for my inspiration on the card.

Thanks for stopping by to look, your comments are welcome and appreciated.

play on ~ sweet PoGo

I have another sweet card to share with you using another of by Lori Designs new images for July. Meet Lollipop independence Julie.

Isn't she just adorable. For inspiration I used this weeks sketch over at Mojo Monday along with papers by Echo Park from the Dots and Stripes collection and sentiment by Technique Tuesday.

Now I have to show you this fun new toy I got. It is a polaroid PoGo "instant mobile printer". I bought it use for mini albums and my smash book. Pictures are approximately 2x3 and it prints really fast using the blue tooth from my camera.

Here is a picture showing how small the printer is compared to my phone and a couple of the photos that I took on my phone and printed out. I can see me using this a lot. The best part about this printer is no ink cartridges are required and you can print anywhere.

Thanks for stopping by my blog hope you enjoyed your visit.
