One thing I love about silhouette stamps is what a fast, but pretty card they make. For this card I stamped SNS Dream Silhouettes in black, added a few score lines, a "thank you" sentiment from In His Time and some punched butterflies. Easy, but I think effective. What do you think? This fits the challenge over at Stampin' Sisters in Christ which is a thankful theme. Thank you so much for visiting me:)
**I've decided to take a break this week from blogging since in the US it's the week of Thanksgiving. Have a blessed holiday if you celebrate this week and if not, remember you always have something to be thankful for! See you soon!**

Read To Me
My daughter loves to read. And the book doesn't even have to have pictures! She will flip through a word only book for quite some time. For this LO I used lots of Cricut cuts, the big mat my pics are on is cut from Storybook on my E. The title is cut from Plantin Schoolbook, and the flowers and flourishes were cut from Home Decor. It is really fun to make your own paper flowers and easy too! For a little something extra I added a few dew drops and a punched border and some stitching with my sewing machine. Be sure to drop by Your Memories Here to see what great new products Kristina has and for all your scrapbooking/card making needs. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your Sunday:)

Supplies:
Stamps: Jesus is Born, Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps

Sherrod Studio Release Day!
Today the two new sets from Sherrod Studio are available for purchase! I am sharing another card using the cute set, Winter Wonderland. I love this sentiment and those little penguins sure look like they are having fun! I wanted to make a little different card shape so I used the Curved Rectangles from Spellbinders for my card base and front, it's super easy as they are so big. I hope you have enjoyed the last few days, now go get yourself a little something ;)

Winter Wonderland
Another Sherrod Studio sneak peek for you! Today I am showing you the super cute set called Winter Wonderland. Isn't this little skater adorable? To mix it up a bit I colored her with my Prismacolor pencils. The snowflakes that are in this set fit almost perfectly in a 1" circle punch so I punch out 3 to use as embellies. I hope you are enjoying the peeks so far. Be sure to drop by the Sherrod Studio blog, Kelli's blog the designer of Winter Wonderland and visit the rest of the DT to see what they've cooked up for your viewing pleasure:)

Sherrod Studio Sneak Peeks!
The next 3 days I will be sharing sneak peeks with you for the newest release from Sherrod Studio. Let me apologize for the blurry picture, I just couldn't get it to be clear...I'll try again and maybe reload it ;) Onto the peek!
This is a great masculine set. The set is called Rock and Roll and will be available at Sherrod Studio Nov. 19th. I used the drum set image, flourish and the sentiment, "My heart beats for you." While I was making it I thought it would be a nice little surprise to sneak into my hubby's lunch box for work, and he did like it:)
Be sure to hop on over to the Sherrod Studio blog and play along with the Tuesday Throwdown which is a color challenge and visit the rest of the DT to see all their fabulous peeks today. See you tomorrow!
