She was only 71 years old. I made this card for my SIL and for her 3 sisters and for her brother:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/SZF_bZqj70I/AAAAAAAAAg8/51U0ISA3Z0I/s1600-h/Bird+call+sympathy+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 311px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/SZF_bZqj70I/AAAAAAAAAg8/51U0ISA3Z0I/s400/Bird+call+sympathy+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301158345114382146" border="0" /></a><br /><br />For this card, I knew I wanted to use the Cuttlebug Bird Call folder but I didn't want to use the whole image. So I cut a 2x2 square and placed it in the folder so that it would emboss the bird and some of the grass. I then backed the square with a slightly larger black square and a white scalloped square. It is hard to tell in the picture but I popdotted the square when I placed it on the card. It is also hard to see but the black background is embossed with the Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes folder.<br /><br />This is the first time that I did a card completely in black and white and I must say that I am very pleased with how it turned out.<br /><br />Stamps: PTI Paper Tray<br />Paper: CTMH black, white daisy<br />Accessories: CTMH bigger black brads, Cuttlebug Bird Call and Distressed Stripes, Nestibilities scalloped square<br /><br />I am trying to keep a supply of cards on had so I used the same layout as the above card but this time I used different colors and stamps for the sympathy cards:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/SZF_bsEWK_I/AAAAAAAAAhE/QmWg8tuRBPg/s1600-h/Faith+Sympathy+cards+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 274px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/SZF_bsEWK_I/AAAAAAAAAhE/QmWg8tuRBPg/s400/Faith+Sympathy+cards+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301158350054370290" border="0" /></a><br />For the above cards, I used CTMH Faith and for the colors, I used CTMH colonial white, chocolate (card on left) and bamboo (card on right).<br /><br />Since I never got around to posting my Christmas cards in December and I don't want to dedicate a whole post to the Christmas cards (I am so ready to move on from Christmas cards), I thought I would spread out posting my Christmas cards in several posts as I am posting other cards.<br /><br />For the card layout below, I decided to do some in two different color schemes. Since I used metallic card stock, they didn't photograph very well.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/SZF_b7uyM0I/AAAAAAAAAhU/1Jbh7K2TPYQ/s1600-h/Beauty+of+Christmas+snowflakes+by+Cheryl+B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 348px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/SZF_b7uyM0I/AAAAAAAAAhU/1Jbh7K2TPYQ/s400/Beauty+of+Christmas+snowflakes+by+Cheryl+B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301158354258899778" border="0" /></a><br />Inside:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/SZF_cCnP_5I/AAAAAAAAAhc/oAD-JAQODZo/s1600-h/Beauty+of+Christmas+snowflakes+inside+by+Cheryl+B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/SZF_cCnP_5I/AAAAAAAAAhc/oAD-JAQODZo/s400/Beauty+of+Christmas+snowflakes+inside+by+Cheryl+B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301158356106346386" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Stamps: CTMH Beauty of Christmas<br />Paper: silver metallic, CTMH outdoor denim<br />Ink: CTMH outdoor denim<br />Accessories: CTMH outdoor denim grosgrain ribbon, silver brads, glitter, Cuttlebug Snowflakes<br /><br />For the card below, I changed the outdoor denim to New England Ivy and used both red and silver metallic cardstock and cranberry grosgrain.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/SZF_bmTLGgI/AAAAAAAAAhM/-5V_m_jmLJc/s1600-h/Beauty+of+Christmas+red+and+green+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 323px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/SZF_bmTLGgI/AAAAAAAAAhM/-5V_m_jmLJc/s400/Beauty+of+Christmas+red+and+green+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301158348505946626" border="0" /></a><br /><br />These cards had a lot of layering and since I used metallic cardstock, it also makes the card a bit heavy. To cut down on the weight and to also save cardstock, I used my paper trimmer and cut out the centers of my backing layers. No sense in wasting paper when you can't see it behind the layers. If anyone is interested in how I save paper when layering, please post to let me know. I will then make sure I do a photo tutorial of how to use your trimmer to cut out the centers.<br /><br />That's all I have time to post today. I need to get moving and get over to my sister's house to work on some Valentine treats (photos coming soon if I remember to take some pictures today) for my youngest dd to take to school on Friday. My oldest dd says that they are not having a Valentine party on Friday but are having a "regular" party. She, however, can't tell me if she needs to bring a treat or anything to school. Hopefully, she will find out today because I am not going to try and make something at the last minute for her to take.<br /><br />I will be back tomorrow or Thursday with more projects!Cheryl B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09825114713778439125noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955649956441247511.post-8062987503177640122009-02-07T21:30:00.003-05:002009-02-07T21:44:31.507-05:00PTI Bitty Dot Sketch ChallengePapertrey Ink has a big 2nd anniversary celebration going on right now. If you haven't heard about it, you may want to check out <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/">Nichole Heady's bog</a> so you can get in on the celebration.<br /><br />I wanted to participate in the challenges on Thursday and Friday but was unable to because my car died on me. I keep all my stamping supplies at my sister's house and there was no way I was going to walk to her house in -2F temperatures. My car needs a new alternator and, unfortunately, it will not be fixed until Monday.<br /><br />I had no intentions of participating in <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2009/02/day-7-introducing-bitty-dots.html">today's challenge</a> either but my sister came over to my house and made me go home with her so I could do a card. So this is the card that I came up with:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/SY5EEy4xEVI/AAAAAAAAAg0/-q76XQhsbhA/s1600-h/Wanted+PTI+sketch+card+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 246px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/SY5EEy4xEVI/AAAAAAAAAg0/-q76XQhsbhA/s320/Wanted+PTI+sketch+card+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300248660631687506" border="0" /></a><br />Stamps: SU!

Chocolate Chip, CTMH Juniper<br /><br />It is hard to tell in the photo but the circles with the stars are pop-dotted.<br /><br />Stay tuned, I have a lot of catching up to do. I have several Christmas cards to post plus some other miscellaneous cards that I have done in the past couple months.Cheryl B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09825114713778439125noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955649956441247511.post-73497376659641843362008-12-19T09:56:00.001-05:002008-12-19T09:58:43.030-05:00Spellbinder's Design TeamSpellbinder's is looking for new Design Team members.

Jeanette Lynton, the founder of Close To My Heart, has a <a href="http://www.jeanettelynton.com">blog</a> and just <a href="http://www.jeanettelynton.com/2008/12/sweeter-by-dozen.html">posted</a> a little while ago the winners of her <a href="http://www.jeanettelynton.com/2008/12/sweeter-by-dozen.html">Passion for Paper contest</a>. I totally missed my name the first time I read the list. Thankfully, I read it again and saw my name in the number 1 spot. I won a paper pack and My Stickease from the new spring catalog. I don't know which one I won because she will pick the pack for each winner. She was very generous and gave away 12 paper packs instead of the 5 that she orginally planned on giving away.<br /><br />Well, I got to run now. I have to take my oldest dd and her friend to Girl Scouts. Then I am taking my youngest dd to shop for a Christmas gift for the little girl that I watch after school.Cheryl B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09825114713778439125noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955649956441247511.post-40810249930873729352008-12-15T08:22:00.003-05:002008-12-15T08:32:55.091-05:00Christmas Carol quizHere is a fun <a href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/carolquiz,0,7827105,post.triviaquiz">Christmas Carol quiz</a>. After you take the quiz, leave a comment with your results! I, unfortunately, only got a 68%. It told me that I spend too much time shopping and eating and I need to spend more time singing. I am definitely not a singer and very rarely listen to music--well, I should say pay attention to the words in a song. I am going to the local high school choir concert tonight so I am definitely going to pay attention to the words.<br /><br />I have lots of cards to post but have to get the pictures off my sister's camera first. I guess I need to start taking my camera with me when I go to her house to stamp so I can get my pictures posted quicker. Hopefully, I can start posting some cards tomorrow.<br /><br />For those of you who take the quiz and leave a comment, I will have one of my dds draw a name and you will get a little something for me. Leave your comments by Thursday, December 18 at noon (EST) and I will have my dd draw a name after school that day.Cheryl B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09825114713778439125noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955649956441247511.post-16242641913647606552008-12-08T08:30:00.000-05:002008-12-08T08:30:00.775-05:00Christmas Cards for my MIL and FILIn addition to making Christmas cards for my DH's grandma, I also made some for my MIL and FIL. I made 10 of each of these cards.<br /><br />This card was inspired by <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1139318">Sharon Johnson's card</a>:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyf5rNaCJI/AAAAAAAAAgY/HcUqCj42QTY/s1600-h/Snow+Swirled+by+Cheryl+B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 318px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyf5rNaCJI/AAAAAAAAAgY/HcUqCj42QTY/s400/Snow+Swirled+by+Cheryl+B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277268676571695250" border="0" /></a><br />Stamps: SU!

Does yours deeply emboss your cardstock? When I made these cards, I used my friends folder but used my machine and they were deeply embossed. I ordered a folder for myself and my sister used it today. She used a leftover circle that I had embossed with my friends folder and she noticed that there was a big difference in the two. My folder didn't emboss nearly as well as my friends and also, the images seemed to be a little different because she could not line the circle up over the full embossed sheet. I am going to get in touch with the company but was just wondering if anyone else could tell me how theirs embosses.Cheryl B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09825114713778439125noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955649956441247511.post-42522666389142883952008-12-08T08:00:00.000-05:002008-12-08T08:00:00.760-05:00Last of the Card DonationsHere are the rest of the card donations.<br /><br />These were made by my sister Carol:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZmAOwp0I/AAAAAAAAAdA/w9sc6s8QVj0/s1600-h/Wedding+card+by+Carol.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 249px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZmAOwp0I/AAAAAAAAAdA/w9sc6s8QVj0/s320/Wedding+card+by+Carol.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277261741547366210" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZl2KqUII/AAAAAAAAAc4/VZshVLt9_eQ/s1600-h/101_1680.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZl2KqUII/AAAAAAAAAc4/VZshVLt9_eQ/s320/101_1680.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277261738845819010" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZlirq2nI/AAAAAAAAAcw/6KInFgBhOZ4/s1600-h/101_1679.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZlirq2nI/AAAAAAAAAcw/6KInFgBhOZ4/s320/101_1679.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277261733615557234" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZlKWI5dI/AAAAAAAAAco/ue_t4FQNcU8/s1600-h/101_1678.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZlKWI5dI/AAAAAAAAAco/ue_t4FQNcU8/s320/101_1678.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277261727082800594" border="0" /></a><br />From Stacy M., Pasco, WA:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZ_q8utfI/AAAAAAAAAdg/TTMr3OngK-I/s1600-h/Stacy+M+4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZ_q8utfI/AAAAAAAAAdg/TTMr3OngK-I/s320/Stacy+M+4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277262182511195634" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZ_bjVdgI/AAAAAAAAAdY/_-QHTAJ3smk/s1600-h/Stacy+M+3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZ_bjVdgI/AAAAAAAAAdY/_-QHTAJ3smk/s320/Stacy+M+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277262178378151426" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZ_CHquWI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/AblTOh-ibew/s1600-h/Stacy+M+2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 295px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZ_CHquWI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/AblTOh-ibew/s320/Stacy+M+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277262171551218018" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZ-rOYXhI/AAAAAAAAAdI/onHn4NfY_sw/s1600-h/Stacy+M.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 292px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyZ-rOYXhI/AAAAAAAAAdI/onHn4NfY_sw/s320/Stacy+M.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277262165405359634" border="0" /></a><br />These are from Sue C., N.

I keep all my stamping stuff at my sister's house so I don't always have time when I am there to make everything that I want to make. Fortunately, today I had time.<br /><br />While I was working on my Christmas cards, my sister mentioned my cousin's birthday which is on Tuesday. I knew her birthday was coming up, but I guess it came quicker than I was prepared for. I had every intention of getting her card done so I could get in the mail on time but I guess my card is going to be a day or two late. She lives in Texas so I don't think the card is going to get from Ohio to Texas by Tuesday.<br /><br />I remembered that <a href="http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/">OCC</a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span> was having a <a href="http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/2008/12/occ-sketch-challenge-and-prize.html">sketch challenge</a> so I came up with this card:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyM1qCPoAI/AAAAAAAAAcY/q0PUTNEHexA/s1600-h/Paris+in+the+Spring+Stylin%27+by+Cheryl+B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 246px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyM1qCPoAI/AAAAAAAAAcY/q0PUTNEHexA/s320/Paris+in+the+Spring+Stylin%27+by+Cheryl+B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277247716816035842" border="0" /></a><br />And this is the inside:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyM1-icKgI/AAAAAAAAAcg/oFPUIw0cWms/s1600-h/Paris+in+the+Spring+Stylin%27+inside+by+Cheryl+B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 282px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STyM1-icKgI/AAAAAAAAAcg/oFPUIw0cWms/s320/Paris+in+the+Spring+Stylin%27+inside+by+Cheryl+B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277247722319784450" border="0" /></a><br />Stamps: SU! Paris in the Spring, PTI Birthday Basics<br />Paper: CTMH Stylin' (retired), black, baby pink<br />Ink: CTMH archival black, baby pink marker<br />Accessories: Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls, Scallop square Nestie, SU! black grosgrain, CTMH flower, CTMH baby pink brad<br /><br />At first, I colored the presents in using my PrismaColor pencils but I decided there was too much color going on. So I threw that piece away and just added some color with the baby pink marker. It was so much better and had just enough color.<br /><br />I was also really pleased with how my flower accent turned out. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted and then this idea came to me. I cut three pieces of the grosgrain ribbon and folded the ends under to the middle on each of them and adhered them. I then used my paper piercer and put a hole in the center of each so I could put the brad through. I think it is a fun accent piece and will have to remember to add it to other cards in different colors.Cheryl B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09825114713778439125noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955649956441247511.post-86762532159662609042008-12-07T13:15:00.001-05:002009-01-12T15:15:12.639-05:00Christmas Cards for DH's GrandmaThis year I decided to give my DH's grandma an early Christmas present. I made her two sets of 10 Christmas cards. I hope she liked them. I didn't get to give them to her personally since she lives about 2 hours away. I took them with me when we went to my in-laws for Thanksgiving so they could give them to her the next time they saw her.<br /><br />Anyways, here is the first card. It was inspired by <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1133284">this card by jennifv on Splitcoaststampers</a>:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STvqQ2q0-zI/AAAAAAAAAcI/fBmDyk2CUiI/s1600-h/Snowflake+serenade+lace+tree+by+Cheryl+B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STvqQ2q0-zI/AAAAAAAAAcI/fBmDyk2CUiI/s320/Snowflake+serenade+lace+tree+by+Cheryl+B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277068963668622130" border="0" /></a><br />And the inside:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STvqRTNOgRI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/FeUUzlfkzRM/s1600-h/Snowflake+serenade+lace+tree+inside+by+Cheryl+B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 248px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STvqRTNOgRI/AAAAAAAAAcQ/FeUUzlfkzRM/s320/Snowflake+serenade+lace+tree+inside+by+Cheryl+B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277068971329093906" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Stamps: PTI Snowflake Serenade<br />Paper: red metallic<br />Inks: CTMH holiday red<br />Accessories: Cuttlebug Lace Tree, rhinestones<br /><br />And here is the second card:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STvqPoOm7NI/AAAAAAAAAb4/fKr0XUeO30w/s1600-h/Snowflake+serenade+snowflakes+by+Cheryl+B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 255px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STvqPoOm7NI/AAAAAAAAAb4/fKr0XUeO30w/s320/Snowflake+serenade+snowflakes+by+Cheryl+B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277068942612294866" border="0" /></a><br />And the inside:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STvqQvSiL1I/AAAAAAAAAcA/KSb8Eft4U7c/s1600-h/Snowflake+serenade+snowflakes+inside+by+Cheryl+B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 235px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STvqQvSiL1I/AAAAAAAAAcA/KSb8Eft4U7c/s320/Snowflake+serenade+snowflakes+inside+by+Cheryl+B.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277068961687678802" border="0" /></a><br />Stamps: PTI Snowflake Serenade<br />Paper: CTMH outdoor denim<br />Ink: CTMH outdoor denim<br />Accessories: Cuttlebug Snowflakes, rhinestones<br /><br />When you make your Christmas cards, do you make them all the same design or do you do all different cards? When I started stamping, I used to make mine all the same design but now that I have more stamps and a lot more ideas, I make different sets of cards. I'm still working on my Christmas cares but will be posting them as soon as I get them all done.Cheryl B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09825114713778439125noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955649956441247511.post-73950055278431180522008-12-07T09:42:00.016-05:002008-12-07T10:15:49.184-05:00More Card Donations--almost doneI think I should be able to get the rest of the cards posted tomorrow.<br /><br />This card is from Jazzi B., Portland, ME:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STvhPjrIc2I/AAAAAAAAAYA/nTK3uNrJlwA/s1600-h/Jazzi+B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

She posted about the benefit on her blog which resulted in 17 people sending in 90 cards! That was a huge help and greatly appreciated!Cheryl B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09825114713778439125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955649956441247511.post-78439626832558463412008-12-06T12:08:00.014-05:002008-12-06T12:38:20.547-05:00I'm Back!Sorry it has taken me so long to post more benefit cards. I got the pictures off my sister's camera last week, but my oldest dd didn't put the list of names in my purse like I asked her to so I didn't know who did what card. Luckily, my sister found it at her house halfway under her couch.<br /><br />We went to Michigan to my in-laws house on Thanksgiving Day and came home late Friday night. My sister, my cousin and I took a trip to Avon on Saturday so we could go shopping at Michael's. I didn't buy anything exciting--just blades for my paper trimmer and a storage container to put the projects I am currently working on in.<br /><br />On Sunday I started to feel sick again. Near the end of October I had gotten a cold. After the sinus stuff went away, I was left with a lingering cough. Well, my cough turned into an even worse cough on Sunday along with very painful sinus pressure and all the yucky stuff that comes with it. My 5 year old dd also got a cold so the both of us have been coughing and sounding terrible all week long. Today is the first day that I actually feel better and can sit at the computer without getting a terrible headache.<br /><br />Here are more of the cards donated for the benefit. I apologize if some of the pictures aren't the greatest. With almost 300 cards to take pictures of in less than a week, my sister and I had to do a rush job.<br /><br />These were donated by Angie J., Overland Park, KS:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/STqznu1k6mI/AAAAAAAAAVQ/_fQg1ls5OKA/s1600-h/Angie+J+5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I think these might be the last of what I made. I have to get the rest of the pictures off my sister's camera and I'm not sure if I have more or not (I'm getting old and can't remember).<br /><br />Oh, I keep forgetting--sorry some of the pictures I have posted and will be posting are on the dark side. The weather did not cooperate that week so most days were rainy and gloomy and not good days to take pictures. I couldn't wait for sunny days because the benefit was quickly approaching.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/SSaaSG5_iHI/AAAAAAAAAPc/xI6jR-MnS60/s1600-h/With+Love+card+by+Cheryl+B.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

She had a gall bladder attack and is in the hospital. She needs to have surgery but was not sure last night when she will have it. She has to talk to the surgeon yet. Please keep Kim in your thoughts and prayers.<br /><br />I am having a busy fun day today. My youngest dd is in Kindergarten and every year the Kindergarten has a Thanksgiving feast for their families. Today is the feast so I along with my sister and my dh get to go eat with my youngest. I am sure there will be an early release for the Kindergarteners since the feast starts at 1:00 and will be over by 2:00 (school is released at 2:30). That means my youngest gets out early while my oldest (6th grade) has to stay until 2:30. She won't be happy about that but she will be happy that she doesn't have to walk home with her little sister and another Kindergartener who I watch after school.<br /><br />Then tonight I go to a monthly crop at a local church. I missed last month's because my DH was busy being a Screamster at Cedar Point so I had to stay home with my 2 dds and my oldest dd's friend who I watch on Friday nights. At the crops, sometimes I get a lot done while other times I get maybe one card done because I am talking too much. Hopefully tonight will be a productive night because I have a lot of Christmas cards to make. Yesterday I started making Christmas cards for my dh's grandma as an early Christmas present and I also want to makes some for my MIL. I haven't even started my Christmas cards yet--I don't even have an idea what I want to do for mine.<br /><br />I'll be posting more pictures tomorrow!Cheryl B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09825114713778439125noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955649956441247511.post-67854069321323743042008-11-19T15:39:00.016-05:002008-11-19T16:55:55.057-05:00Lots of pictures today!I talked to my friend today about the benefit and she said they served around 575 dinners and think they raised almost $10,000!

You can read articles about Andrew in the <a href="http://www.sanduskyregister.com/articles/2008/10/06/front/925678.txt">Sandusky Register</a> and the <a href="http://www.norwalkreflector.com/articles/2008/10/08/front/doc48ecd764658f8535139556.txt">Norwalk Reflector</a>.<br /><br />As you know with any diagnosis of cancer comes extraordinary medical expenses. To help with these expenses, the family is having a benefit dinner for Andrew tomorrow to help raise some money. They are having raffles and prizes at the dinner.<br /><br />As soon as I found out about the benefit dinner, I wanted to help out by donating a prize. My friend is a stamper just like me and she has other friends who are stampers so I knew that handmade cards would be a great donation. With such short notice, I knew that my sister and I could not make enough cards to fill a basket so I decided to post on <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=394135">Splitcoaststampers</a> and also to email as many other stampers as I could asking for donations. The response was more than I had ever hoped.<br /><br />To date, I have received around 300 cards and even some stamping supplies. My sister and I have given my friend 4 baskets of 60 cards each and 1 basket with approximately $100 in stamping supplies. We will be putting together another card basket tonight to donate.<br /><br />My sister and I have taken pictures of all the donated cards so over the next few weeks, I will be posting the cards so that everyone can see.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">A big <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">THANK YOU</span> goes out to everyone who donated cards for the benefit!</span>Cheryl B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09825114713778439125noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955649956441247511.post-17354778694062378562008-11-09T21:42:00.002-05:002008-11-09T21:46:21.655-05:00Please Stay Tuned!Wow, I can't believe it has been almost a year since I have posted. This past year has just flown by.<br /><br />I don't have any cards to post today but please stay tuned because I will be posting a lot very soon. I organized donations for a card basket for my friend's grandson's benefit dinner that is coming up on the 15th. (My friend's grandson is only 18 and has cancer.) So far I have received over 200 cards as donations and my sister and I have taken pictures of all of them. I will start posting the cards that my sister and I made and also the donated cards.Cheryl B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09825114713778439125noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955649956441247511.post-56596671073108146822007-12-19T09:52:00.000-05:002007-12-19T09:59:22.794-05:00Just a quick noteOnce again, I appear to be slacking on posting on my blog but really I'm not. My uncle got sick and died in November so I didn't do any stamping. Then on December 1 my computer died when my DH installed more memory. I still don't have my computer back (hopefully, in the next couple days I will get it). I've been going to my sister's a couple days a week to check my email but don't have time to post any projects on here.<br /><br />I really wanted to post a 12 days of Christmas project that my sister and I did a couple years ago but the pictures are on my computer. I was going to post the project in memory of my uncle who died since my sister and I did it for him and our aunt. If I'm still blogging this time next year, I will be sure to post it.<br /><br />In case I don't get my computer back before Christmas, I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!Cheryl B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09825114713778439125noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955649956441247511.post-22919625114406750472007-10-12T21:45:00.000-04:002007-10-12T22:14:50.775-04:00Some cards I made over the summerI managed to stamp a few cards this summer but never got around to posting them on here so I thought I would do that now.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/RxAj1bCDs4I/AAAAAAAAAGM/16FciAwuRrQ/s1600-h/Free+Spirit+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/RxAj1bCDs4I/AAAAAAAAAGM/16FciAwuRrQ/s320/Free+Spirit+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120632177016681346" border="0" /></a><br />Stamps: CTMH Free Spirit, For Every Occasion<br />Paper: CTMH Sunny Yellow, Bubblegum, Topiary<br />Inks: CTMH Bubblegum, Topiary, Dutch Blue<br />Accessories: CTMH Just Blooms, gold brads<br /><br />For these next two cards, I got the color inspiration from the CTMH Fall/Winter 2007 catalog.

I was in Pat Catan's one day and saw the one with flowers and it reminded me of the flowers from Paper Trey Ink's Little Lady and Green Thumb sets. It took me awhile to find inks in my supplies that coordinated with the papers but I think I found some that were pretty close. I'm not sure that I really like the colors of this paper. Definitely not a color combination that I would put together.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/RxAnHLCDs8I/AAAAAAAAAGs/RQNJDKtkJZw/s1600-h/Papertrey+card+2+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/RxAnHLCDs8I/AAAAAAAAAGs/RQNJDKtkJZw/s320/Papertrey+card+2+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120635780494242754" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/RxAmubCDs7I/AAAAAAAAAGk/4UK_LaeZz5c/s1600-h/Papertrey+card+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/RxAmubCDs7I/AAAAAAAAAGk/4UK_LaeZz5c/s320/Papertrey+card+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120635355292480434" border="0" /></a><br />Stamps: Papertrey Ink's Little Lady, Green Thumb, Paper Tray<br />Papers: Cosmo Cricket's Miss Molly, Peggy Sue, some unknown cardstock from Pat Catan's<br />Inks: CTMH Grey Wool, Color Box Roan Chestnut and one of their reds<br />Accessories: CTMH bigger brads, red grosgrain ribbon from Pat Catan'sCheryl B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09825114713778439125noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955649956441247511.post-28887930210023118052007-10-12T21:12:00.000-04:002007-10-12T21:43:56.349-04:00I finally got to stamp today!My two dds and I were finally able to make it over to my sister's house to do some stamping this afternoon. I needed a couple thank you cards to send to my cousin and my aunt and uncle to thank them for the Macy's gift certificate my cousin sent me on behalf of all of them for my birthday which was in September. Normally I don't get a present from them, but since my aunt and my uncle have been in assisted living and my sister and I do all their shopping, taking care of their meds, etc. since my cousin lives in Texas, they have gotten us gift certificates for our birthday the last couple years.<br /><br />Ever since another CTMH consultant (Kathi Carlson) posted some cards she made using the floral dimensional elements and the Floral Elements stamps set, I have been wanting to play with the set. The two thank you cards are cased from a couple cards that she made. I used a different color combination than she did and I also added the stem and leaves to the one card. I was having so much fun playing with this set that I went ahead and made another card.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/RxAfILCDs1I/AAAAAAAAAF0/g0uFTB9pDBQ/s1600-h/Floral+Elements+3+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/RxAfILCDs1I/AAAAAAAAAF0/g0uFTB9pDBQ/s320/Floral+Elements+3+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120627001581089618" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/RxAgTrCDs2I/AAAAAAAAAF8/lq_RPxYa4Zw/s1600-h/Floral+Elements+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/RxAgTrCDs2I/AAAAAAAAAF8/lq_RPxYa4Zw/s320/Floral+Elements+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120628298661213026" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/RxAgtLCDs3I/AAAAAAAAAGE/0yw7rmih9P8/s1600-h/Floral+Elements+2+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_vx-YcrqzlJs/RxAgtLCDs3I/AAAAAAAAAGE/0yw7rmih9P8/s320/Floral+Elements+2+by+Cheryl+Bambach.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120628736747877234" border="0" /></a><br />Stamps: CTMH Floral Elements<br />Paper: CTMH New England Ivy, White Daisy, Barn Red<br />Inks: CTMH Autumn Terracotta, Sunflower, Barn Red, New England Ivy<br />Accessories: CTMH White Daisy Grosgrain, Bigger Brads, Flower Garden Dimensional Elements<br /><br />I had so much fun stamping today that I just want to keep stamping. Unfortunately, all my stuff is at my sister's house, my DH is being a monster at Cedar Point and my dds are in bed so I am stuck here at home. I happened to look at Nicole Heady's blog today and saw the beautiful <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2007/10/3.html">slider card</a> that she made and so want to make one right now. I guess I'll have to just keep blogging to keep my mind off making that slider card. Hopefully, my dds will be good tomorrow and we can go do some more stamping.Cheryl B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09825114713778439125noreply@blogger.com0
