About Me

My photo
I am a stay-at-home mom. I have been married to my handsome and wonderful husband for over 14 years. Right now he's battling stomach/esophagus cancer. So I do my best to craft when I can. I have two wonderful boys. My oldest, Garett, is 24 and served 5 years in the Navy. He's been home since the beginning of the year (2014). We are very proud of him. My youngest, "DJ", is 13 and in the 8th grade. I have two Border Collie mix dogs (Koda and Rugu), one Calico cat (Hydie), one orange Tabby cat (Bosley), one Tea Cup Chihuahua (Gigi...I LOVE her sooo much), a Chiweinnie (Lily....sweetest dog ever), and a Jack Russell/Chihuahua (Connor....AAALL boy).

 Hey Everyone...

Thanks for visiting me after visiting Deirdre.

It is an honor to be hopping as a past Growing In Unity girl.  Sadly...I didn't make it in time to be a GIU girl this year :(  I'm so sad.  Maybe I will get lucky for 2017.  Yuck.  Just saying that sounds horrible...2017!!!  Maybe it's because 2016 just started?  LOL.  Anyway...I hope you enjoy my two project I have for you on this hop.

One of my favorite Unity stamp sets is from their All Day Pass set (the tickets).  I cannot remember the name of the chair and umbrella (I can't find where I put it away at) and the flip flops are from Flip Flop Happy.  I stamped those on a shrinky dink sheet to make them into charms.
Next I made a darling card to welcome a baby into the world by using two sets.  The bunny and flower is from the "Little Bunny for You" and the sentiment is from another ADORABLE stamp set "Sweet Elle".
I'm still in the process of making another card using Elle...but I have had to run my hubby to doc appts from a car accident he was in.  He's fine.  Just has pain in his shoulder and collar bone.  (The accident wasn't his fault...thank goodness and no one else was injured)

Next up is Cynthia.  Be sure to leave me a comment to win.  And GOOD LUCK!!!

    Hi Sheryl, You did a fantastic job with these 2 cards! Your beach card is adorable. That was very clever to use shrinky dink paper for the flip flops to make a charm. So neat!
    I also love how you used matching EP and paper for the tickets. so cute!
    Thanks for sharing.

    I adore the bunny stamp and it is perfect for a baby card!
    The flip flop charms were a great idea! I am inspired to try my hand at shrinking some stamped images.

    How can you not LOVE the beach picture? Especially with the cold we have been getting here in WI. Just a dusting of snow which is pretty but not when you have a cast on your ankle! Thanks for sharing!

    Both of your designs are precious. The beach card has such a great weaving on the twine. Did you do that? I really like the baby card. That little rabbit is so perfect for so many occasions.
