Oh, Ship ~ LIM#11

I got a new stamp set after seeing a card that my friend Amy made and couldn't wait to play with it.

I used this weeks sketch at Less is More for the layout of my card.

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

happy birthday you ~ BLD56

Today we have  a fun challenge for you over at By LORi Designs! We want to see washi tape on your card. If you are like me you probably have at least one roll if not 75 rolls of washi tape sitting on your desk.

For my card I used this great birthday cake image as I thought about the colors of my washi and figured the cake would look good in those same colors.

I hope you will play along with us in our "washi" challenge.

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

just for fun

I have a card to share today that I created for my Sister Sharon who's birthday is next week. We always send each other either funny or mean cards. Mine are usually funny hers are sometimes sisterly mean. lol

She once sent me a card that said "Mom always gives me $100 for my birthday, what does she send you?

This is a new stamp set called 'front and backs' on the outside you have this beautiful young lady and...

when you open it up directly behind the front image is this! I have attached the rear of the image with a 'wobbie' so when you touch it, it moves.

Just made me laugh so I knew I had to get it.

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

miss you

I was bored this evening so decided to make a quick card using some of my washi tape along with a new stamp set I got today.

I finally bought a Paper Smooches stamp set (simply said).

Again, thanks for stopping by my blog. Your comments are appreciated.

washi ~ washi

I just love washi tape lately and as soon as I saw the sketch over at Techno Stamper I knew I was going to use it again.

I place washi tape on my chipboard before I cut out these heart images. The sentiment is a rub-on by Pebblesinc.

Here is the sketch I used for inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by to look I appreciate your comments.

Enjoy!

party animals...

This card is for the newest challenge over at The Pink Elephant and it was perfect as I needed to make a boy birthday card and the sketch fit the image I wanted to use.



Okay I need to admit that I can not remember where I bought this digital image but when I saw it I knew I had to have it, so if you know which company it is please let me know and I will post it here.

I used embossing folders by  cuddlebug and sizzix along with some washi tape that has been in my stash forever that I am starting to use more.

Here is the sketch that inspired my card.

Enjoy!

fussy cutting and paper piecing

I have quite a few cards to share with you and this first one is for the newest challenge on my friend Yvonne's blog. Her guest designer this week is non other than Laurel Seabrook and she is challenging us to create a card or layout and do some paper piecing and fussy cutting.

Well you know that is a challenge that is right up my alley.

For my card I used a pure innocence stamp by MFT called "better get better" and I paper pieced and fussy cut all of the clothing and bear. The paper used is by MME fromt he Stella and Rose collection called "Gertie". Buttons are BasicGrey from my stash.

This next card is one of my favorites this week and I used a new digi image from Pixie Studios. I love the little girl images with the big eyes and I bought two different ones.

I also used some Washi tape, Cosmo Cricket "tiny type" stickers, Martha Stewart snowflake punch and my labels eight die to cut out the card.

Next up are a couple more digital images and these were bought over at Pink Petticoat another favorite digi supplier of mine.

Isn't this sewing machine just fabulous. With the digi set I got two different sewing machines and 4 different verses. I love the fact that you always get a mixture of images and sayings. Papers are also from the MME "Gertie" collection and buttons are from my stash.

This last card is also by Pink Petticoat and uses an amazing typewriter image. It comes with the typewriter and a full page of sentiments to put either on the typewriter or on the card.

I kept this card fairly simple and after coloring the typewriter I just added some Cosmo Cricket "tiny type" stickers and a little gloss enamel.

So which is your favorite?

Enjoy!

lazy day

I think it is going to be one of those lazy days here at my house so I started my day with catching up on a couple of shows on Hulu and making cards.

This card was created for this weeks challenge over at Clean and Simple and the challenge was to use one of our label dies on the card. Surprise, Surprise I had not used this new one from PTI yet.

Along with the label die from PTI I also used the butterfly die and sentiment by them. The papers are some that I picked up at Archivers' yesterday. These happen to be from the Stella and Rose collection by MME and the papers are called Hazel.

This is the sketch that inspired my card. Don't you just love this sketch? I had fun working with it.

Next up is a card I created for the challenge over on the Cards blog and this weeks challenge was to use Washi tape on your card. Well I had bought this Washi tape last Summer and had not used it yet, so this was the perfect challenge for me.

Along with the Washi tape I used a button by BasicGrey, clear flower by Heidi Swapp and the sentiment is a rub-on by Pebblesinc.

Enjoy!
