Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion! 

Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a good weekend. I want to say "Thank You" to so many of you that stopped by and left such sweet comments over the past few days regarding the loss of our dog, Gizzy. We are definitely gonna miss him but we know he is in a much better place and free from pain. We will forever miss him:(

We have another fun challenge going on over at My Craft Spot this week. The challenge this week is: Valentine's for Kids! How fun, ha? We hope you come join in, we would love to see your creations!

I want to share with you these fun treat boxes I made using My Craft Spot
Build a Valentine  stamp set.

I cut out these cute owl treat boxes from a cut file on my Silhouette Cameo. Since my computer crashed, I am not sure where I got it from but I am thinking the silhouette store. I cut them at
7.85 x 6.30 and then inked the edges with walnut stain.

 I added some fun goggle eyes and a bow and then filled them with candy. The little banner tag is also from this set and I stamped the sentiment which is from My Craft Spot  Build a Valentine set. 

I am planning on taking these to Ayra's daycare for all the kiddo's in her class. I am sure they will all enjoy them:)  Be sure to pop over to My Craft Spot and check out what my DT sisters have created for you......They are all amazing and so FUN!

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion! 

Good morning everyone. It was a rough day yesterday for all of us in my family.....we did end up having to put Gizzy down. He was the best dog ever and was a part of our lives for 16 plus years. We know he is in a better place.....he will be FOREVER missed!!

 Today is my DT post at My Craft Spot and I have a card to share with you today using My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags 2  stamp set and the Tiny Tags Metal Die set.  I made this fun owl shaped card using my gypsy to weld the shape together. It is welded at 4.75 x 4.20 along with all the layers. 

I embossed the body of the owl with the sizzix love set and inked up the edges with frayed burlap. I hid the face features so I could stamp the adorable face using the PK-Winter Faces set and then used glossy accents over the eyes. 

I tied a fun double bow with  Pink Petal Crinkle Ribbon and  Divine Valentine Twist Twine and attached the fun little tag using the Tiny Tags Metal Die and the sentiment from the Tiny Tags 2 stamp set, all from My Craft Spot.   I inked the tag with frayed burlap and topped it all off with a fun flower button that I found at Michael's last week.

Little Scrap Pieces Fun Friday Challenge

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion! 

Hi everyone and happy Friday! It has been a long week and let me tell you, I am looking forward to the weekend! Our poor little Gizzy (our 16 1/2 year old poodle) isn't doing all that good the past few weeks and really taking a turn for the worst the past few days so that's been weighing heavy on our minds:( I don't have a lot planned this weekend so we are going to spend some good quality time with Gizzy and possibly get some crafting in and get my new computer up and running with all my software. Lets hope!

We have another fun Friday challenge for you today over at Little Scrap Pieces and hope you come join us in the challenge! The challenge this week is: Get Well. With the flu season upon us, this is a great time to have some get well cards on hand....I never seem to have enough of these!

Here is my card for inspiration: 

I started with a Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Rectangle for the base of my card. The next layer is a brown mat that I cut and embossed with the swiss dots folder. I then layered that on a Spellbinders Classic Rectangle which I embossed with the sizzix floral folder and then a Spellbinders label nine on that. The flower is 6 circles cut using the SU 1 3/8 circle punch and folded in the corners. The leaves are from the Spellbinders Foliage die and the little center gem is from my stash. 

The get well soon sentiment is stamped using My Creative Time -Pain, Pain Go Away set along with the sentiment that is on the Spellbinders Fancy Tag die. 

I added a little bling to the tag and a fun gingham double bow and  small paper rose cut at 1" from the Art Philosophy cartridge. I inked some of the pieces with Tim Holtz frayed burlap.

Be sure to go check out what my DT sisters have created for inspiration and then come back and play. We would love to see you join us!! 

As always, thanks for stopping!
