So, Kiss me

Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!


Happy Thursday!! I hope everyone is having a good week. It has been a busy one for me. My little Granddaughter came down with a bad cold, fever and other flu like symptoms. I feel so bad, she has such a horrible cough and looks so rough:(( So, my daughter and I have each taken a little time off work in order to keep her home from daycare until she gets over this. Poor little peanut!

My craft time has been a little limited these days, but I did manage to come up with a quick card while baby was napping. I hope you like it:)

My card base is 5 1/2 x 5 1/ and the base layer is at 5 1/4 x 5 1/4. The pattern paper is from My Minds Eye-"Fun Day" which is included in the 2012 January card kit I purchased from Pumpkin Spice.  I also used the doily and tan ribbon that came in the kit on this project as well. Wow, you must go check out this kit. It is AMAZING!! I LOVE all the pretty paper and embellishments in this kit. I cut the adorable monkey at 3.50 x 6.38 plus the layers from the Sweethearts cartridge. I embossed the leaf with the divine swirls folder and the other piece with the polka dots folder and layered it over the pretty paper doily.


I added a little strip of paper along the bottom cut at 3/4 x 5 1/2 and embossed it with the polka dots folder. I then stamped right on the ribbon my sentiment using Momento-Rich Cocoa ink and layered that right on top of that strip. The sentiment, So, Kiss me-is from My Craft Spot ~Always & Forever stamp set.  I finished it off by adding a big bow using 2 different satin ribbons.

Entering this in the following challenges:

1.) Celebrate the Occasion ~Any Occasion-must use polka dots
2.) Made Especially For You ~Create a card featuring 3 ribbons

If you are looking for a fun challenge, come join us over at Go Fish Challenge Blog. The challenge goes until the end of the month so you still have plenty of time. Would love to see what you create!!


Thank you so much for visiting and leaving such wonderful comments. I really appreciate your visits!!! Have a great day!

    You made the most of your limited crafting time...this is soooo AWESOME!! I love that adorable monkey, but it's all the little touches you added that make this fabulous!! The doily, the embossing, the doodling, the googly eyes, the sentiment, and you know how I feel about your bows!! This is so fun and I LOVE it, my friend!! :)

  5. Sherrie, your card is so cute! Great idea to add embossing to your leaf-I always forget about embossing, and I really like the look. The little monkey looks adorable. Great job-as always. :)

  15. Hope you granddaughter feels better soon, it's hard to watch them sick and there's nothing you can do. This is an adorable card! Love the way you placed the heart in between the monkey's hands. :)

  17. So rough when the little ones get sick...they just can't get comfortable and it's so hard for them to clear their little noses...hope she's over it all soon...poor baby. Glad you found some time to sneak a card in. This monkey image never fails to cheer me up...he's so fun paired with that doily. Totally cute!

  18. Oh no! I'm so sorry your little Peanut isn't feeling so well! :( I'm sending up extra prayers for her! Now for this card... it is FABULOUS! So clever to have the monkey reaching for the perfect little heart.. and with his doodled-up self and googly eyes, he's just beyond precious. I love the color scheme you have going on here, plus the gorgeous embossing, ribbons, and doily! There are always a million things to love about your cards, my friend. It amazes me that you created this so quickly. :o) Super cute concept for this card and I crazy love it. :o) (And love that you stamped on the ribbon!) Beautiful work, Sherrie! :o)

    Hugs and blessings!

  26. Sherrie this card is darling. I love monkeys:) Such great colors. I hope your grand baby feels better soon, it is so hard when they don't feel good.

  27. Holy guacamole, Sherrie, I didn't even recognize the elements of the SPS kit until you mentioned them, then I went back to your picture and saw each one. Way to rock the kit! It is sold out, by the way :) The monkey is perfect and adorable.

    I hope your granddaughter is feeling better. It is so hard to see them feeling so badly. She is lucky to have you. My grandmothers both took turns taking care of me when I was sick from pre-school...those are some of my fondest memories.
