I've got my eye on you!

Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion! 

Hello my crafty friends! I hope your all having a great week. I am so glad I found a little time today to get in my craft room. I really needed to unwind after a busy few weeks! 

I  made a fun treat favor for the Peachy Keen Stamps Photo Challenge that is going on and just finished in the nick of time.

The box is My Creative Time's Treat Slider Box Die along with the small panel with the punched border which is also in the die set. I wrapped some yummy polka dot ribbon I had in my stash and added a bow. 

The cute octopus is from PKSC18 June kit which I stamped and fussy cut around it. I colored the octopus with copics and then added the sweet face using the same set. I added rosy cheeks, freckles, glossy accents and popped this cutie up on the box. I tied on a fun bow with cappuccino bakers twine from My Craft Spot.

The sentiment is from Jaded Blossoms Monster Mash stamp set and it is stamped on a label cut at 3/4" from the Art Philosophy cartridge. I finished it by filling it with yummy chocolates inside:)

I am also entering this in the following challenges:

1.) An Inky Situation Linky Party #1 Anything Goes

2.) DL.ART Thankful Thursday Linky Party

3.) Die Cuttin Diva's Challenge #126 Anything Goes

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!
Hi everyone and happy Friday! Don't they come around fast? Yikes, it's almost August already! Where did the summer go? I hope you are all enjoying summer~

I have a busy weekend planned...my son from NY is moving to LA to continue to pursue music (writing & recording). He will be home this weekend for his 10 yr reunion and then leaving for LA on Monday.  We are hosting a pre-class reunion gathering this evening with a BBQ and the entertainment will be my son singing:) We are hoping for sunny skies and a great turn out!

Well, today we have another Fun Friday challenge at Little Scrap Pieces and I am sad to say this will be my last DT project. As, I mentioned Monday, I am going to take a little time off. I will still be posting projects periodically, so please stop and for a visit. It has been an extremely busy time for me and I just need to take a back seat for a while. 

Thanks for all the sweet comments this week and your understanding! 

The challenge this week is: Christmas in July!

Here is my DT project: 

I made these using My Creative Time's stitched lollipop die and the papers are scraps from Recollections-Jolly & Bright collection. 

I tied on a crinkle ribbon bow with ribbon from 3Girl Jam...colors: Mistletoe and Holly Berry.  The twine is from my stash. The fun tag is My Creative Time's die from Teeny Tag Greeting set and the sentiment is from the All  Around Christmas stamp set.

Decorate to Celebrate Guest Designer!

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are having a great week!  I was asked a while back to be a Guest Designer for Decorate to Celebrate and was truly honored and the day has finally come. I have always loved playing in their challenges so here is my project for today's challenge:
 Thanks so much for having me Amy! 

The challenge this week is:
Wedding, Engagement, Bridal Shower etc
Wedding/Engagement" (create any project to be used as a party decoration or party supply for a WEDDING or ENGAGEMENT or ANNIVERSARY PARTY or EVENT!!  Let's celebrate EVERYTHING WONDERFUL ABOUT BEING IN LOVE, TYING THE KNOT and MORE 
Can't wait to see what you create!

Here is my project: 

I have a bridal shower to go to for my daughter's friend in a few weeks and I thought it would be fun to put together a little spa package for her to go along with her gift. So, I got a salon gift card and then added an assortment of fun things for inside the purse such as: nail polish, remover, file, finger nail clipper, cotton balls and hand cream. 

 I saw this adorable cut file at the Silhouette Store and had to make it. It is so simple and I just love how it turned out and can see SO many possibilities. The papers are DCWV Lace & Linen collection. I embossed the pink layers with the divine swirls folder and did some inking with Tim Holtz victorian velvet distressing ink.

I added a fun tag using My Craft Spot's Tiny Doilies Metal Dies and stamped the sentiments with the Stampin' Around Summer stamp set.

The center flower was in my stash and the pennant is a Spellbinders Nested Lacey Pennants die which was stamped with My Craft Spot's Happily Ever After Stamp set. I finished by adding some pearls and pearl flourishes.

Please be sure to stop over and check out what the amazing DT has created for you and come back and join in the challenge! We'd love to see what you create!

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion! 

Hi Everyone! Today is my DT day at My Craft Spot and I have to sadly say it's my last official post at My Craft Spot. I have decided to take a little time off from my Design Teams as things have just been extremely busy for me. That doesn't mean I am done blogging, just taking a little time off and going at it in a different pace until thing settle down and I find more time to craft.

 I have been such a lucky gal to be a part of such a wonderful team! They have all been so supportive, kind and wow...are these girls talented!!!! I am honored Kimberly asked me and hope I can return someday! Thanks you so much Kimberly and the whole My Craft Spot team!! I will miss you all!

For my  DT project I have to share with you today, I  used My Craft Spot's new Tiny Tags 3 and Pattern Blocks Stamp sets along with the Tiny Tags Metal Die set. 

I made these cute shaped cards with my Cameo and found the cut at the Silhouette Store. These are also cut to fit perfectly in a A2 envelope, perfect, ha? The papers are from We R Memory Keepers-Yankee Doodles. I cut each out, inked them with Tim Holtz walnut stain and embossed a few of the boot pieces with the tiny bubbles embossing folder. 

I added a star brad that was in my stash. I tied a red jute string bow and a couple tags using the Tiny Tags Metal Dies set.  I then stamped the background with the Pattern Blocks stamp set and the sentiments with the Tiny Tags 3 stamp set.

If you haven't seen the NEW stamp and die sets at My Craft Spot, you are missing out! They are amazing and you can find them all HERE. So many wonderful sets for your crafty projects!

Arya (my Granddaughter) has some little friends that come over to play in the pool so I created these bags for the next time they come over... they will be waiting for them!!  I have enclosed little fishy crackers inside for a snack. Great for all the kiddo's at the pool, ha?

Hi my crafty friends! I had a little time in my craft room last night and wanted to join in the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge 13-28::3-D Objects:: Wrap It In Ribbon.  I whipped up a birthday treat package for my friends Granddaughter's birthday which is right around the corner.

The sentiment is stamped with the PKSC-13 Jan 2013 stamp kit. I cut a small strip and wrapped it with some fun SU stitched ribbon I had in my stash and tied a double bow.

The cute ladybug is cut from the Birthday Bash cartridge at 2.64 using my gypsy to hide the face features. I stamped the face with the PK180 Erkle and Merkle stamp set and then added glossy accents to the eyes.

I embossed some of the ladybug pieces with the swiss dots folder and then just a little faux stitching and doodling and popped her up on the box. To finish it up, I added a bag of yummy snickers...hope she likes it!

My Craft Spot Challenge #104~Christmas in July

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!

Hi my crafty friends! I hope you had a great weekend! We managed to get some much needed yard work done along with taking in a FUN birthday party for a friend who turned 50. What a party!! 

Hope you all had a great weekend! 

Today, we have a great challenge going on at My Craft Spot and hope you come join in. The challenge is: 

"Christmas in July"

Fun ha? I can't believe Christmas is less than 6 mo away! Crazy...but this will help all of us....maybe jump start us some on our Christmas cards, gifts and other holiday projects, right? I know it was fun for me to dig out my Christmas things to create my card:) 

Here is a card that I made using My Craft Spot's Stampin' Around Christmas stamp set...hope you like it:)

I started with a 5 x 5 card base. The base layer is 4 3/4 x 4 3/4. I cut the ornaments at 3" from the Christmas Cheer cartridge~An oldie but goodie! I inked the pieces a bit with Tim Holtz~Old Paper distressed ink. 

The papers are from My Minds Eye~Merry Little Christmas collection. I wanted a little extra for the ornaments so I grabbed My Craft Spot's Tiny Doilies Metal Die set and the Stampin' Around Christmas stamp set.  

I stamped the sentiment and then popped these for some added dimension to the center of the ornament! 

I used a Pine Leaf punch for all the branches and the red skittles are from my friend Carri.  I just love adding them to my projects! I topped the card off with a pretty bow using My Craft Spot's spring moss crinkle ribbon. 

Please be sure to go check out what the amazing DT has created! Trust me...you won't be disappointed!! We hope you come join in the challenge! We'd love to see what you create!

Hi Everyone! I hope your having a wonderful week! It is amazing how fast these Friday's come and go, ha? Well, we have a new challenge going on over at Little Scrap Pieces today. The challenge this week is: Oh' Baby!

Did you know that Karen at Little Scrap Pieces is patiently waiting the arrival of her new Grand baby???  This is her first Grandchild!! Woot-Woot! How exciting, ha?? I remember being in her shoes almost 2yrs ago waiting for little Arya who is now creeping on 2. Yikes, where does the

This is a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card. I embossed the background layer with the divine swirls folder, inked it with Tim Holtz victorian velvet and then popped this cut crib on it. I cut the crib at 3 1/2 from the Baby Steps cartridge plus the layers. The papers are from My Minds Eye~Lost & Found collection. I added little sentiment rings around the ball of the crib. That was stamped (special delivery) with My Craft Spot's Postage Stamps stamp set using a 3/4 circle punch to cut out and then the center with a 1/2 circle punch. 

The adorable baby is cut at 2 1/2 plus the layers. The pattern paper is from My Minds Eye~Madison collection. I stamped the face using PK451~Wide Eyed Kids set and added rosy cheeks, freckles and glossy accents to the eyes. 

The banner is My Creative Time's`Vintage Stitched Label Die. The sentiment is stamped with My Craft Spot's Sweet Sentiments #2 stamp set.

Hello Everyone and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!

Here is my card for the challenge. 

The base of my card is a Nestling Eyelet Circles die along with another circle for the base layer. I embossed the layer with the cloudy day embossing folder that I won (thank you Nana) I love it~

The light bulbs are dies from My Creative Time's~You're Brilliant set (thank you Kim) which I just love along with the sentiment. I stamped it on My Creative Time's  vintage stitched Label Die.

Hello and Welcome to Sherrie Scraps with Passion!!!

Hi Everyone and happy Sunday!!! I hope you are all having a fantastic 4th of July weekend! Wow, what a week it's been! We have been busy taking in the parades, the fireworks, having friends and family over for BBQ's and enjoying spending time together. We also had company (BIL and family) that came from Arizona and took them around to do some sight seeing. We took the kids on a few rides, one called the Timber Twister...Oh my gosh, what a blast!! We also went to canal park (which is a beautiful place where the ships come in) and of course stopped at a fun outdoor restaurant. Sad to see them go but now it's time to get back to reality, lol! 

 Here is a 4th of July treat I made for our guests:)

I found these cute mugs at WM and thought they would be fun to decorate up! I started with My Craft Spot's new 4" Doily Die and then layered on a vintage stitched label die from My Creative Time. I then followed with a scalloped and doily using My Craft Spot's Tiny Doilies Die set.

The sentiment is stamped with My Creative Time's My Little Firecracker stamp set. I topped each of the mugs with a fun crinkle ribbon double bow using ribbon from my dear friend, Karen at Little Scrap Pieces.

I also tied a Stars and Stripes twine bow and adhered little stars from My Craft Spot's new Small Alphabet Die set. Hope you enjoyed my project!
