You Are Unique - MM94

The challenge this week at Merry Monday was to use a Stocking or Stockings on your Christmas card.

Okay, I had this great pair of socks by Unity which I knew would work but wasn't sure if I had a sentiment to go with it.

I found this 'you are unique' in a Paper Smooches Swanky Snowdudes set I had along with a Seasons Greetings which I put on the inside of the card.

I think it will work for Christmas.

I will send it to my brother, he will appreciate the humor. 

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

I used the sketch over at Card Patterns this week.

Thanks for stopping by.

you were born an original

So the other day I posted that I won a ton of stamps from Unity. Well I sat down yesterday and played with a few of them and here is one of the cards that I created.

Don't you just love that stamp image?

I used the newest sketch from Clean and Simple Stamping for the inspiration on my card.

Thanks for stopping by to look.

celebrate the season

I created a few cards yesterday for WCMD while I skyped with my friend Michelle. My first card was created for this weeks Clean and Simple Stamping challenge.

Here is the sketch that I used for my inspiration.

I used papers from the Authentique "wonder" collection, image and sentiment are by Unity (ornamental season" and an Martha Stewart border punch.

If you read my blog yesterday you know that I was doing some baking and made mini pumpkin pies. Well I must admit they turned out wonderful and I will definitely make again.

Hope you have a great day! I am off to Anchor Paper today to teach card club along with my friends Bonnie and Kathy.

A quick card to share with you before I head out to run some errands. Sorry about the quality of the photo I took it with my phone.

I created this card using this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch.

I used papers and petite type squares by Authentique from the "wonder" collection, Unity Stamp, and PTI "holly jolly" die.

Thanks for stopping by to look. Your comments are appreciated.

life is good

I have a couple cards to share with you today.

My first card is for this weeks sketch challenge over at Clean and Simple Stamping.

I used a new Unity stamp that I picked up at Anchor Paper a couple days ago along with some of my handmade wrinkle ribbon.

Here is the sketch inspiration for my card.

Next up is a card I created for this weeks challenge over at Sassy Lil' Sketches.

I used papers by Crate Paper, some Websters Pages rose ribbon and SRM Stickers.

The sentiment kind of reflected how I have felt the past week. Prior to this past week I was having a hard time with lots going on in my life and had almost decided to shut down my blog and move on with life.

But for right now I am going to keep it going and I will just see what happens. So if you want me to continue please leave a little blog love as some days I feel as if I am doing this for nothing.

Okay I have blabbered on long enough and will let you continue on with your day.

Enjoy!

for sophie ~ dream big

I made a couple of cards last night while Skyping with my friend Michelle in Austrailia.

My first card is for this weeks sketch challenge over at Card Patterns.

I used papers from the "portrait" collection by Crate Paper. The stamp and sentiment are by Unity.

Here is the sketch that was my inspiration on this one.

My next card is one that is going postal today to Michelle's grand~daughter Sophie who often pops in while we are Skyping, she calls me Nana Sherry.

I used papers and chipboard pops by Pink Paislee from the "hometown summer" collection.

The sketch from Techno Stamper was my inspiration.

It is raining outside today so I am thining it is a great day to do a few cards or a scrapbook layout or two and watch a movie.

Enjoy!

thanks a bunch ~ ss55

Another Wednesday and another sketch challenge over at Sasya's Sketches.

My card this week uses papers by Memory Box from the "minuet" collection, the stamp and sentiment are by Unity and I added some liquid pearls.

Isn't this just another fabulous sketch by Sasya? I hope you will play along with us.

Enjoy!

Clean & Simple, Sketch Girl, & Limelight

I apologize for not posting yesterday. I had some cards done and just needed to get a photo taken of them and then do my blog entry. Well I don't know where the day went to, but I never got around to doing it so today you will see 3 of the 4 cards that I created.

This first card is for this weeks challenge over at Clean and Simple Stamping and it was perfect to use this new BasicGrey "cappella" paper pad. Sentiment is by A Muse and the flower is from Unity, and ribbon is May Arts.

This next card is for the challenge over at Sketch Girl and when I saw it i knew it would be the sketch I use for the card I am sending to my friend Tami's sister to welcome her new dog Annie that she recently picked up.

Papers used for this card are the new BasicGrey "max and whiskers", stamps are by inkadinkadoo. I had to show you the inside of the card too where I added some more of this cute paper and a little paw print.

My last card is for the challenge over at LimeLight PaperCrafts and uses more of the BasicGrey "cappella", Neenah natural white cardstock which was embossed using one of the exclusive european KARS cuttlebug folders, ribbon is May Arts, Stamp is by Endless Creations and butterfly is Martha Stewart.

I hope you enjoy these card creations and again I apologize for the long post. Have a great day.
