TGIF

Good Morning All,

Well yesterday turned out to be a beautiful sunny day. Love it, cooled down in the evening though!

Went shopping found a new stamp store Oh my the samples were out of this world. Actually went there twice today, lol..

Today I will be spending my day with Brayden. I will be tired out by the end of this day. He is a busy boy. And his excema is breaking out again, around his eye this time poor little boy looks like a leper!

SO here's my card of the day.....

Cute little mouse in a tea cup! The base is Hmm you know I cannot remember and the card is home I just have the pic and I cannot tell if its Baja Breeze or Bashful Blue. The DSP I picked up at the Dollarama along with the bling.

Ticket corner punch was used on the white and they so yellow. And now I'm not sure which shade. Guess I should of made notes also when I posted the pic for me to use! Next time I will know.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog...

Oh for those of you who place order and are in the hostess club, I will bring your order Monday. It is suppose to arrive today, but as you can see I am not home....

Thursday

Good  morning,

I arrived in Bedford safe and sound. Right now everyone has gone to bed... They both work tomorrow. Tonight we went over to Tiffany and Jr. apt. We were playing with Brayden. He is just a cutie.. We had an unfortunate accident while we were there. 3 of us were on the 3 week old sofa bed and Brayden was jumping on me and then SNAP /CRACK. 2 screws snapped in half.. I sure hope when they call  Gallery 1 they replace it!! Will keep you posted... I feel really bad :( I know it could of happened to anyone sitting there. But you know how it is when you get something new and that cost a lot of money.

This little purse is what I'm giving my friend tomorrow when we meet up. Inside holds 6 cards and envelopes. The DSP is retired SU paper. We have not seen each other in 17 years and I'm getting excited to see her.

Today I will be going to Michaels and Costco. That might be it no real set plan...

Morning all....

I'm off to the Halifax area for a few days. I want to be on the road by 9. Wonder if I can do it, I have to I'm meeting my friend 11ish is Bridgewater. I plan on going shopping (window) at some of the craft stores this afternoon. Tasha is going out and about with me she has the afternoon off...

I got my swaps all done now ! yeah. I will mail then as I leave.. I was up late last night getting things ready for this blog and chatting to my cousin Michelle... Also printed off my Michaels coupons just incase... And cleaning my desk off again...

Today card is not really a card more like a post card

Good day,

WOW the fog left yesterday and the sun actually came out and stay awhile. It felt like you were catching up with an old friend.

I managed to get some stamping done. I finished 1 of the swaps I'm in. Hostess Club is all taken care of now. Just need to finish the other swap today. And to get some cards made so I can blog while I'm away and then I will be busy with Family.

Still finding it hard to adjust to these glasses please tell me it gets better with time!!

The weather forecast is saying a sunny weekend lets all hope as I want to get the house painted... I won't be the one painting Skip will but I still want it done.

So what do you think of this cute little cat? I think she is hanging on for dear life. Card base is Bermuda Bay, Designer Series Paper (DSP) is Razzleberry Lemonade. Ribbon is ribbon that I had on hand.

JUST a REMINDER....

The new Stampin' Up! catalogs are here. Contact me today to get yours. If you did not pre-order a catalog, no problem....there are plenty for everyone. Each catalog is $7.00. This catalog will run for a year.

Well I'm off to run my errands then come home and create....

Have a wonderful day...

Sherry

Good Monday Morning....

Wow, where did the weekend go? Seems like it fly right on by. I have a list of things that need to get done today. If I get 1/2 of the list accomplished I will be happy. I only have today and tomorrow to get things done. Wednesday I'm going to Dartmouth and then when I return on Saturday I will have Tiffany and Brayden with me :) And the family will start rolling in for the reunion.

The sun came out yesterday, later in the day we went for a drive out to the light house been a long time since we have been out there. So before we leave town Skip says lets get a milkshake. So I agree as I love them. Well he pulls into McDonalds and I go in and order a large. WELL I didn't think large would be so LARGE... Needless to say we never finished them.

Today's card is a House Mouse image.. I colored with watercolor pencils.

I keep telling myself that I have to use more of my embellishments . I just cannot keep buying them to look at lol... So my goal is to start adding more embellishments to my projects...

I also colored another House Mouse image , that's as far as it got... I will finish the card and have it for when I'm away...

Check back later this afternoon to see what this weeks Deal of the Week is. I should know between 1 and 2pm.

Have a good day thanks for stopping in... Come back soon.........

Doodle Flowers

Good Morning,

Last night I cut strawberries up and made 12 500ml bottles of jam. I think that is enough! Hmm maybe not...

I joined 2 swaps so I need to get working on those cards today. Swap #1 is black and white with a touch of color, #2 is a masculine card. I have an idea for both just need to make one card up of each and see if I like them.

The count down is on before the family arrives . And Reunion time begins. Grandpa has been busy working on things for Brayden. Put a new ladder up to the slide, the slide needs another coat of wax! He will fly right down :). Made a cart for pulling him around.

Todays card is made with a stamp set from Inkadinkado,

called Doodle Flowers. I colored the flowers with Crushed Curry and Bermuda Bay markers. The matching Crushed Curry polka dot ribbon just ties it all together...

Well I hope you all have a great day with family and friends..

Sherry

Oh Mr. Sun.....

Hello Stampers,

Apparently I do not know the difference between AM and PM as I had this post scheduled for the PM...

Oh, Mr. Sun won't you come out today... We are getting soggy and starting to mold... Well that's how we will all be soon...

Happy 4th of July to all my family and friends south of the border...........

Last night I was in a creative mood. And wanted to use the heat gun. Well, then I looked at the clock and it was close to midnight I dont' think Skip would of liked that noise. He had been in bed for a few hours. And my crafting room is next to our bedroom. So I thought twice on that idea. Why is it I always feel creative late at night... I know I'm an night owl for sure!!

I've had the glasses 5 days now and around the house is not too bad but get me out in the world YIKES... My head starts to spin. We were in Wal-Mart last night I ended up taking the glasses off. I was getting very dizzy, and almost that motion sickness feeling... yuck!!!

Here is one photo of our new kitchen. Things still not on the wall yet. I'm trying to find a before pic. I realize I need to get my disk labeled and in some kind of order. I know I have some just not sure what disk they are on. So for now I will just post this 1 after shot. The Mellow Moss paint is nice.....

Today's card is from the stamp set Think Happy Thoughts # 115092 $22.95. I find its a set I tend to push to the side. I will have to use it more often and it goes so well with our punches...

Card stock used Chocolate Chip, Gable Green Pretty in Pink and Whisper White.

Punches used Scallop Circle, 1 3/8 circle, 1 1/4 circle, and ticket corner.

1/2" Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon in Melon Mambo.

The brad is from the flower assortment.

The writing is from Birthdays Count note kit that just retired.

Skip is working for a bit this morning then he will be home. Not sure what our plans are for the rest of the day...

Have a wonderful Saturday..

Thanks for taking the time to stop in ,

Sherry

Hi there,

The kitchen is Finally all back together.. There are just a few things that I want to hang on the wall and that will get done today. Skip's off work for a long weekend....

Yesterday I got to talk and see my favorite little guy... Here is a pic of us chatting to each other.. He was pretending to be shy.... But I know better .. The shy-ness didnt' last very long...

Todays card is using Lovely as a Tree stamp set. To make the tree I used sponge daubers and Old Olive, Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry and Soft Suede ink. Layered on Chocolate Chip layered on More Mustard and the base is Dusty Durango. Then I stamped from the stamp set Wonderful Favorites, the words wonderful and friend... I love how the tree turned out I wasn't sure about the color combo but it worked...

Thanks for stopping by

Fun and Fast

Hello,
Did you all have a good Canada Day? The kitchen is complete to what we are doing right now. The floor and counter top will come next month..

If you have been to the Stampin’Up! Site you will have noticed that they are having a “ Deal of the Week” Promotion. As a Demo I will find out the same time you do what the Deal of the Week will be. Stampin’Up! Is not releasing that info early! There a button you can click on at the right of the page to show you the deal.

Here's another card using the Fun and Fast Notes #113500. Card stock is Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black. Watercolor paper. And Razzleberry Lemonade DSP. Together Forever is stamped in Rich Razzleberry ink, and punched out with the scallop oval.

Last night I was looking around the internet for awhile and came across this cut little cart. Sue Berker gets the credit for this . I must say that the next time I make one I will know a little more what I'm doing lol.. I just thought it was the cutest little flower cart...

Have a good day

Thanks for stopping by

Sherry

Happy Canada Day !!!!!!!!

Good Morning,

The Stampin' Up! year has come to an end, which makes my first full year with SU. And I just want to thank you for making this possible...

Today is the first day you can order from the new catalogue... 12pm mountain time which is 3pm Atlantic time... If everything falls into place as planned. But you know computers sometime there are gliches... Also, Bermuda Bay ink pad # 115655
& Bermuda Bay Ink Refill# 115661
will NOT be available when the new catalog goes live. Due to Ink quality issues. Stampin' Up! is fixing the issue and hope to have these available as soon as possible...

Today's card is from the stamp set Fast and Fun Notes #113500 $44.95. It's been awhile since I have used this set.. Card stock used : Soft Suede, Melon Mambo. Stamped the bird with stazon ink on watercolor paper. Then with the new in-color markers and aquapen I colored him in. The DSP is from the paper pack Razzleberry Lemonade #115675 $13.25

Added a touch of ribbon to tie it all together ( no pun intended lol). And I used the word window punch for the sentiment...

Skip got the kitchen all painted last night yeah... Today I will start puting things back in place.. He also painted the hallway the same color, and will have to put a 2nd coat tonight. We wanted to make sure the kitchen was done first and how much paint we had before starting on the hall.

I found blinds ,Skip says they will fit I hope so...

Well Happy Canada Day...
