So Dog-Gone happy for you!

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!! 

Hi Everyone and Happy Friday to you! I hope you have a fun filled weekend planned. Can not believe it's almost June? Wow, where did May go? Yikes...summer will be here and gone before we know it! 

I love Fridays because once again we have the Fun Friday Challenge going on at Little Scrap Pieces! The challenge this week is: Graduation! 

Let's see all your cards, layouts or fun projects for those Graduates!  

Here is a little inspiration: 

I made a fun graduation card that I made for my nephew. My card base is 5 x 5. The pattern papers are from My Mind's Eye-Breeze collection. I cut a small trim piece along the bottom and punched a border using a Martha Stewart punch. The sweet dog is cut at 4 1/4 from the Create A Critter 2 cartridge and embossed using the swiss dots folder. I added foam tape to pop this adorable poochie up and to give the card some dimension:)

I added some adorable googly eyes that I had in my stash.  I used My Craft Spot's lemon drop twine for the fun tassel and the double bow. I stamped the sentiments using My Craft Spot's new Cute Critters stamp set. I finished it with some yummy sailboat blue and ginger skittles from my friend Carri. 

Be sure to stop and check out what the DT has created for you and then come back and join in! We would love to see your graduation creations!

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!

Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and a happy and safe Memorial Day! We  kept busy all weekend working hard at my son's home. Unfortunately, I was not able to get in my craft room this weekend :( I was so bummed as I was really missing it! 

So, I decided this afternoon as soon as little Arya was picked up I was going to make a card for a few challenges that are going on!!

 I am sharing a card that I made for the Peachy Keen Challenge 13-21:: Anything Goes challenge. 

I made a shaped card using the Elegant Edges cartridge. I welded the base at 4.26 x 9.97 and the base layer at 4.18 which I embossed with the Papaya Halves folder. The adorable ant is a Silhouette cut file that I cut using my Cameo. It is cut at 3.75 x 5.12 plus the layers. I embossed the white of the eyes with the polka dots folder and then added google eyes to the center. I added some foam tape and then popped this cutie on the mat.

The grass is cut at 1.12 and 1.28 from the Create A Critter cartridge and then embossed with the polka dots folder. The sun is cut at 3 1/4 and then stamped the adorable face using the PKSC-15 March stamp set. 

I tied a fun double satin bow, a double twine bow using lemon divine twine from My Craft Spot  and added a fun chevron button which is from Recollections. The sentiment is stamped with My Craft Spot's new Feel Better Soon stamp set. 

I am also entering this in the following challenges:

I used My Creative Time's Vintage Stitched Labels Die for the banner and inked it with TH weathered wood. I then stamped the sentiment with My Creative Time's My Little Firecracker stamp set.

My Craft Spot Challenge #98 Ribbon & Twine

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion! 

Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! I can't believe how fast they come and go though:( It rained here on and off but we still managed to get a lot done which felt good.

Today we have a fun challenge going on at My Craft Spot and hope you join in the fun!

The challenge this week is:

Ribbon & Twine 

My card for today is made using My Craft Spot's NEW tickets metal dies and the tickets stamp set.

I have made a fun shaped card using the Create A Critter cartridge. I used my gypsy to weld the shape and cut it at 4.75 plus all the layers. I cut the cute little bumble bees at 2 1/2 and 2 3/4 also using my gypsy to hide the face features so I could stamp a fun PK face.

I stamped the face with PK-180 Erkle & Merkle face set. SO cute, ha? I added a fun caribbean twine bow, freckles and glossy accents to the eyes.

To finish my card, I tied a double bow using caribbean crinkle ribbon,  a caribbean twine bow and a fun button and tucking in a fun tag using My Craft Spot's NEW tickets die set and tickets stamp set.

I started out with kraft paper and layered a green panel on that. I then stamped this cutie pie using PK209-Life is Good Babies stamp set and colored her with copics and framed her out with with kraft paper and popped her onto the green panel. I gave her cute rosy cheeks, freckles and glossy accents to her eyes and added a pink limeade twine bow for her hair.

I stamped the sentiments on the front of the invitation with My Craft Spot's New Arrival stamp set and finished the card with a bow using fun polka dot ribbon. I added a fun ticket tag to the bow using My Craft Spots Tickets Metal Dies, Tickets Stamp Set and Postage Stamp Set.

Sweet Birthday Wishes!

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!! 

Hello Everyone! I hope your having a great week so far! It has been pretty nice here the last few days, all I want to do is spend time outside!! So, did you all have a nice Mother's Day? I was able to spend Saturday with my Mom and Sister.  We had a blast shopping and going out to eat!  Then on Sunday, we had a BBQ in the afternoon with my kids. It was a great day-hope you enjoyed yours!

Today is my Design Team day over at My Craft Spot and I would love to share a quick card with you using My Craft Spot's Birthday Wishes stamp set. 

My card base is 5 1/2 by 5 1/2, cutting the base layer at 5 1/4 and rounding the edges. I used my Cameo and cut this yummy ice cream cone using a cut file from Silhouette. I cut it at 2.45 and embossed the cone layers with the Divine Swirls folder. I added a yummy brown string bow from My Craft Spot and a cool clear button that I purchase from Liz's Paper Boutique. 

The pennants are from the Spellbinders Nested Lacy Pennant dies. The sentiment is stamped with My Craft Spot's Birthday Wishes stamp set onto a SU scallop oval and then layered on the pennants. I finished the card by adding a fun bow using polka dot ribbon from SU that I had in my stash. The whole time making this card, all I thought of is how yummy a ice cream cone would taste about now, so.........I think Arya and I are off to the Dairy Queen, lol!

I hope you like my card and thanks for visiting! Have a great day!

UR the Best!

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion! 

Hi Everyone and Happy Friday! I hope you have all had a great week and looking forward to the weekend! I am looking forward to catching up on some rest.  After being on vacation and running the whole time, I think it's caught up with me.....I am pooped out, lol!

We have another awesome challenge for you at Little Scrap Pieces and hope you come check it out and then come join in:) We'd love to see your creations!!! 

This weeks challenge is: Mothers Day! 
By the way...Happy Mother's Day to all you Mom's out there! I hope you have a fantastic day and
get totally spoiled and pampered!!! 

Here is my project: 

I made a fun folded note card holder that was inspired by a birthday gift I received from my friend and blogger buddy, Karen just a few weeks back. I just loved it and thought it would make such a great gift idea as well. 

I dropped Karen a message and she sent me HERE for all the directions to make this awesome holder.  I used pattern papers from Bo Bunny and Lasting Impressions for this project.

After completing the holder I made 4 cards to fit inside and on the other side I added a smaller note pad of paper and 4 envelopes.

The 4 cards are sized at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and made 2 of each design. The flower is My Creative Time's stitched daisy die and the sentiment is My Craft Spot's Butterfly Kisses stamp set. I topped them each off with a fun double bow with some sheer ribbon from my stash :)

Here is a side view to show how folds together nicely and secured with a fun double bow:)

 I made the handle by using a SU oval scalloped punch and tied a fun double bow with ribbon from my friend, Karen at Little Scrap Pieces to keep the bag from opening. I tucked in a ticket tag using My Craft Spot's Ticket Die set and the sentiment is My Craft Spot's Postage Stamps stamp set. I added a small scalloped oval and oval circle to the front of the holder and stamped "UR the Best" with My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags 2 stamp set.

Thanks so much for stopping!

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion! 

Hi Everyone! I am back and hoping to make my rounds and visit your blogs to see what you've all been up to :) I will have a little free time over the weekend so if I haven't made it by, I will real soon! 

We had a wonderful time visiting my son who lives in New York. It was our first time in NY so we were pretty overwhelmed but we had a blast!! He lives in Manhattan so it made it easy for us to just catch up with him each morning. We'd either meet at his place or the Waldorf Astoria Hotel which was where we were staying. Wowzers....what a as gorgeous hotel! 

While we were there, we managed to squeeze in game 3 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs between the Islanders and Penguins.  What an awesome game! We are hoping to go back real soon and take in some more places. We kind of ran out of time and didn't get to go to all the places on our list. We would definitely go again.....it was a great place to visit! 

I am missing my craft room like terrible and hoping this weekend I will have a little more time to craft! I  made a quick project this morning to join the Peachy Keen Challenge 13-18 3D Object :: Flowers challenge that is going on along with a few others listed below. Hope you like it!

I made this for baby Arya to give her Mommy (my daughter) for Mother's Day. I started off with a muslin bag that I purchased from 3Girl JAM and stamped this adorable bear on it with PKSC-13 Jan set stamp set and colored it with copics. I added rosy cheeks, freckles and a fun shabby chic paper rose to dress this cutie up some. The sentiments are from My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags 2 stamp set. I topped it off with adding a fun gingham bow a prima flower and shabby chic flower  and then filled the bag with yummy dove milk chocolates. 

I made a matching little 3x3 card. The flower is My Creative Time's stitched daisy die and the sentiment is My Craft Spot's Happy Easter stamp set. I love the font on this set!

Sending hugs your way...

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!

Hello all my crafty buddies and happy Wednesday! I hope your having a great day! I wanted to let you know my hubby and I are taking a small vacation and will be gone a little over a week. Our days are filled with a lot to do so I probably won't have much Internet time. I do have my DT projects scheduled to post but probably won't be visiting your blogs much until I get back.

 Before I go, I am sharing a card that I made for the Peachy Keen Challenge 13-17:: Sketch Challenge. We are to create a card or project using this sketch provided. 

Here is my take on the challenge :)

 For the circles on the sketch challenge, the first thing that came to mind was My Creative Time's stitched doily dies. Fun ha? I popped this adorable skunk which I stamped from the PK288-Skunk Cheer Up set and then fussy cut out. I added a cute My Craft Spot lemon tart twine bow to the skunk along with some doodling. 

The banner was cut at 3/4 from the Artiste cartridge. I stamped the sentiment with the PK194-Wise Crack sentiment set and then finished it with a yummy bow with My Craft Spots buttercup crinkle ribbon. The papers are from My Minds Eye-Breeze collection.

Thanks so much for stopping!
