Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!!
Yeah, it's Friday! Looking forward to a longer weekend. Any plan's for the New Year? We are going to have a quiet evening...I think! I don't know when the last time we stayed home on New Years Eve was but I think we are going to enjoy the evening with our Granddaughter, Arya. We can't wait!
Today I have another Thank You card to share with you. My card base is 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 and the base layer is 5 x 5. I used paper from a 6 x 6 paper pack by Authentique-collection called-wonder. I love it! So many pretty papers:)
The cage and bird are from a Bigz die from Tim Holtz~called Caged bird. I just love this die and know I will be using this again in the near future. I used the coordinating papers from the pack for the bird to. I added a cute little row of heart beads from Close to My Heart-Dress it Up and used craft wire to tie them on to the cage. Thought it would dress that cage up a bit-what do you think?
I distressed the edges of all the paper and cuts with SU Sahara Sand except for the red mat. I cut the red mat from Lacy Labels at 4 3/4 and embossed it with the snowflake folder, then lightly sanded it. I distressed it with a touch of SU craft white to give it a little pop. I added a pretty lacy border using the Martha Stewart's border punch and tied on some fun fibers. The little tag is the curly label die from My Creative Time and the sentiment is from SU-With all my Heart.
I am entering this in the following challenges:
1.) Paper Cutz ~Challenge #119~ card, layout or project using hearts.
2.) DL.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge-Thank you card, any color, any reason.
Thanks for visiting!

Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!
Happy Thursday!!! It's hard to believe we are almost at the end of the year. Wow, the years fly by fast! I have a quick Christmas thank you card to share with you. I needed to make a simple card so I could mass produce these since I needed quite a few thank yous to send out for the Christmas gifts I received.
This is a standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card. I cut the green mat at 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 and the white mat at 3 x 4 1/4 which was embossed with the snowflake folder by Darice.
I used core'dinations paper for the tree and used an embossing folder-Christmas tree by Darice and trimmed around it and layered it on my card. I sanded it lightly and added some pretty red bling to the tree and used Viva~yellow pearl pen for the star. I also added bow using SU grosgrain striped ribbon-real red. I also added a cute little Santa brad that I had in my stash and the sentiment is from TPC Studio-Greetings. I just realized this card was cricut-less....Wow, it's been a long time since I made a card without firing up my cricut. That seems strange!
I am going to enter this in a challenge at Docerela Creations ~Challenge #4~Holiday Thank You.
There is some time left to come join in. Come on...check it out:)

Santa's Little Helper!
Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!!
I have a quick post this evening to wish you and your families all a very Merry Christmas!!! My children will all be home tomorrow for Christmas which I am so excited for. We have decided as a family to spend Christmas Day at our home instead of traveling to my parents and in-laws which are a few hours away. I think this will be our 4th or 5th Christmas actually at home in 20 some years so really looking forward to staying in my pj's, sipping on hot chocolate and listening the Christmas music and of course..enjoying our new baby Granddaughter, Arya. I will post a picture tomorrow of our sweet little Princess..so be sure to stop back!
I also have a quick Christmas card that I made last week and forgot to share with you. I cut this adorable little reindeer from the Create A Critter cartridge at 4". I cut a small mat behind the reindeer and embossed it to give it a little pop.
I added this super fun ribbon from 3 Girl JAM. The cute stitched circle and scallop circle along with the sentiment all come from My Creative Time. Thanks for stopping and again Merry Christmas!!

I have a couple last minute tags to share with you that I made for some of my Christmas packages. I made them all using the Art Philosophy Cartridge. All the tags are all cut at 4 1/2.
The tree is cut at 3" plus the layers. I added stickles on the tree, a few little gems and ribbon/twine to finish it up. The sentiment is from My Creative Time-All Around Christmas.
The stocking is cut at 2 3/4 plus the layers. I have embossed part of the stocking with the divine swirls folder and the other pieces with the polka dots folder. Added some yummy twine and little pom poms to dress it up. Tied it off with ribbon and twine.
The present is cut at 2 3/4 plus the layers. I embossed the present with the divine swirls folder and the spots and dots folder. I topped the present off with a small bow, added some bling and again added the sentiment. I tied it off with ribbon and twine.
The ornament is cut at 3" plus the layers. I embossed the tag using the snowflake folder and sanded it just a bit to pop. I added a little bow and some gems, again to dress it up along with sentiment and tied it off with ribbon and twine.

FCCB Challenge #91~Trimming With a Tag
Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!!
Happy Monday all!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I did a lot of shopping, wrapping and then out of town for a Christmas gathering on Sunday for my side of the family! It was a wonderful time but boy did the weekend fly by!
Yeah, it's Monday...that means another Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday! This weeks challenge is~to use a tag somewhere on our project. Fantabulous Cricut is being sponsored by Core'dinations, Yeah !! I love this cardstock! Core’dinations ColorCore Cardstock has a core color which “core’dinates” with the surface color. Each sheet has a tab underneath labeled “core color” that represents the interior color of the sheet. You can choose to keep that color hidden or add your own creative touch by sanding, tearing or embossing.
For my project I have tried to show the "core" of the cardstock by embossing and sanding on my card. I absolutely love the effect. It gives it a lot of dimension and character. Hope you like it:)

I made this 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 card using this wonderful Core'dinations paper. I cut the mat at 5" from the Elegant Edges cartridge and then embossed it with the polka dots folder. I then sanded it to give it some dimension. The tree's are cut at 3 1/2 from the Winter Woodland cartridge, embossed with the divine swirls folder and sanded. I just love the effect as it pops the other color through as you sand it. I added a cute sentiment from My Craft Spot~Winter Wonderland set along with a yummy satin bow. The little snowflakes are cut at 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 ~also embossed, sanded and attached to the bow.
I hope you come join us for this fun challenge and be sure to check out the rest of the DT and their wonderful projects!
I am entering this in the following challenges:
1.) Frosted Designs ~Fabulous Friday~to use ribbon
2.) Little Scrap Pieces ~Winter Holiday
Be sure to stop back tomorrow as I will be posting my winner for the 3 Girl JAM ribbon and the Winter Frolic cartridge:)

FCCB Challenge #90~Rolling in Ribbon
Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a nice weekend. I am sure it was a BUSY one, ha? Crazy this time of year. I actually had a little time to squeeze in some fun over the weekend-my daughter, her fiance, my husband and I did some holiday baking. We all had so much fun together and baby Arya just sat back and checked it all out as she hung out on and off in her swing. Fun times!
Well, it's time for another Challenge Me Monday over at Fantabulous Cricut. Today, the challenge is to use ribbon somewhere on your project along with your cricut cut. I hope you come join us in this fun challenge-love to see what you create:)
I made this center step card using paper from SU and America Crafts. I won 3 adorable digi's from Cindy over at Cindy's Scraptastic Designs and this is one of them. Isn't this just the cutest? I love her work, she is so super talented and you should stop by her store and take a look at her amazing designs. You won't be disappointed!
I used my Spellbinders-scallop rectangles to frame it out. This is one of my first attempts at using copics.... I hope you like it. I know I need to practice more but I needed to start at some point, LOL! I used copic colors-Y38, YG95, BG10 and R29. I added some snow using a snow marker which I love this effect along with a touch of glitter. I cut the snowflake from the Art Philosophy cartridge at 2" then punched out the other snowflakes out of the pattern paper using a 1" circle punch. I added a touch of glitter for a shimmery look and a little gem. The sentiment is from K.Andrew Designs~ Winter Wishes set. I have used some yummy ribbon from 3 Girl JAM to finish it off~using holly berry and ice blue.
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to stop over at Fantabulous Cricut and check out what the wonderful design team has created for you!
I am also entering this in the following challenges:
1.) My Sheri Crafts challenge #75~Let it snow
2.) Whimsical Designs~ Winter Fun

Greetings!
Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!
It's been a busy week trying to get my home decorated for the holidays and trying to get my Christmas cards done. My hubby has been a trooper trying to get my tree up, lights up inside and out. Setting up my decorations on the front and back deck...yikes, busy boy! Think I will keep him around, LOL!
I have a Christmas card to share with you today, I really like the way this one turned out. I love the colors and the whimsical tree's on this cartridge that I used. I hope you like it!
The base is cut from the Create A Critter cartridge at 6.88 x 11.65, base layer at 6.38 x 5.63 using my gypsy. The off white mat is from the Spellbinders-Lg rectangular die which I embossed with the cuttlebug snowflakes folder. The tree's are cut at 3" using the Art Philosophy cartridge. The sentiment "Greeting" is from K Andrew Designs ~Winter Wishes. I finished it by adding a little doodling around the edges, a pretty satin bow and 3 little snowflake embellishments. Thanks for looking!

Wishing you a heartfelt holiday!
Hi Everyone!! Hope your all having a great day!!! I would like to share a project that I made using this cute Midi Bitty Bag that I purchase over at Scrappy Moms Stamps. I cut out this jolly snowman from the Sesame Street Seasons cartridge at 4 1/4 and the layers. I embossed his body with the spots folder and added a little doodling to his scarf and hat. I cut the snowflake at 2 3/4 and inked around the edges and then added a touch of glitter to it.
I added some snow layers by tearing the paper, then embossing it with the divine swirls folder and dipping the edges in glitter. It's hard to see, but so pretty! I used My Creative Time die-Curly label along with the sentiment which is from the Mixed Holiday Sentiment set. I added a pretty border across the top of the bag by using the Martha Stewart snowflake punch, some pretty lace, silk ribbon and added a touch of some yummy Christmas twist bakers twine also from Scrappy Moms Stamps. These bags are so fun to work with and they also have Itty Bitty Bags.....go check it out, your gonna love them:)

FCCB Challenge #89-Present Time
Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!
Happy Monday All!! It's time for another Challenge Me Monday at Fantabulous Cricut. Today, the challenge is to make a gift, gift packaging or use a gift cut. I have chosen to make a gift package~A perfect size for a jewelry, small bath and body lotions, gift cards, etc.
I cut this cute gift box at fit to page from the Slumber Party cartridge that I won from Amy and Rhonda at Decorate to Celebrate. This pretty polka dot flower is cut at 5" from the Art Philosophy cartridge along with the leaves at 1 1/2 which I embossed with the swiss dots folder. The tag is from a SU punch and I cannot remember where the sentiment is from (did not have that written down) I added some yummy ribbon from 3 Girl JAM called cherry lipstick for the pretty bow along with some green tulle.
I also made a little 3 x 3 card to go along with the the gift bag. I cut the present from the Art Philosophy cartridge at 2 1/4 and I added a little bow using again 3 Girl JAM Ribbon. The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper ~Christmas Wishes set.
Don't forget to head over to Fantabulous Cricut to see what the rest of the Design Team has created! Hope you join us in this weeks challenge...can't wait to see what you create!!

For you!
Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!
It's finally Friday.....yeah! I have so much to do this weekend...anyone feeling a little overwhelmed? This is a crazy time of the year, that's for sure! Well, today I have a quick card that I made using the Birthday Bash cartridge for the shape of my card. I cut it at 4.37 x 5.12 and the base layer at 3.64 x 4.11 using the gypsy to weld together.
I cut the little owl out and all the layers from the Winter Frolic cartridge at 3". I embossed the owl with the divine swirls folder and added some cute little google eyes. I used stickles on the leaves and on the owls hat and arms for a little shimmery look. The oval and scallop circles are from SU and the sentiment is from Trade Fish Designs ~Got Leaves stamp set. I topped it off with a little stitching and pretty polka dot bow.
Be sure to stop by and pay Stephanie a visit at Whimsical Designs. She has her stamp release sneak peeks going on right now. There are amazing projects and a lot of inspiration. You have until midnight tonight to comment and for a chance to win her stamp sets. Then, stop back tomorrow for the their Blog Hop and get a chance to see her complete stamp line. Gotta run, have a GREAT weekend!
