Oh Joy

 I thought this card was just perfect for vacation time.  I can imagine getting to Turkey and holding my arms out just like this little girl and saying, "Oh Joy"  Ahhh, How perfect is that?  and with some turkish lace too!

Wishing all of you a very wonderful summer.  I should be arriving in Turkiye today in the evening turkish time.

Sharing this darling cat card today using a fun image from Maria Medel Illustrations.  I added a great sentiment from another cute set, "Looking Good, Feline Good",I think it is Newtons Nook. Please let me know if you can verify or you know otherwise.

I can't believe when this publishes I will be up in the sky between america and turkiye!!

Cat Nap

Sharing this cute Cat theme card today.   LOL, I am super spoiled from working from home, I can literally go take a nap 2 minutes after work as over as well as all summer long when I could nap whenever I wanted to.  SPOILLED!  

Soon I will walk home and I be too hot and though tired, can't just lay down and nap. I spent my "napping time" walking home.  LOL. I guess that is one way to make me do the right thing huh?  Walking instead of napping, ha!

Here's a fun cat card using a wonderful digi stamp from Marie Medel Illustrations on Etsy. I just love her beautiful stamps. I had introduced her several years ago when I was celebrating my 8th or 9th year post brain surgery, I can't recall which.  Her cute stamps were a huge hit!

This image comes from a cute set of Cat theme stamps.  I have cards using several of the others as well.  I will be sharing them as the time comes.  Cheers, Holley

Be positive, patient and persistent

Here's an awesome image from Marie Medel Illustrations.  This cute image can be found in a wonderful set of stamps (or is sold separate).  With the school year starting, I have added a school theme sentiment, "be positive, patient, and persistent."  I thought that was some great advice for both the teachers and the students.

Believe it or not, I am not showing you the same images over and over, lol.  These are actually DIFFERENT die cuts than the ones I showed you previously.  I don't know if I will have enough participants to hand them all out this year.  I have SO much more stuff than all of this, I didn't even take photos of all the embellishments.

And here's just a FEW embossing folders that I have to hand out!
