Meet Seika

Here's a great new image from artist Myka Jelina of Queen Kat stamps. This stamp is called Seika.  I just love all her images.  Excited to announce also that Queen Kat is participating in the celebration next month as well, she will be giving away a prize too!  Thank so much to her (Vikki)!! 

Drop by the Queen Kat store and check out Myka's stamps and some of the other wonderful artists that she sells. If you haven't seen initial photos of SOME of the blog candy, scroll down and check it out!  This will all be getting started in Feb.  For those of you who are new, the reason for this huge celebration is three years ago in Feb, I had two brain surgeries that saved my life!  I was so very sick and hurting everyday.  After surgery (and about 2 months of healing), it was a real miracle.  My crafting friends were SO wonderful and SO supportive, both when I found out that I was going to have the surgeries, during my surgeries and after!!  Now every year, I have a huge celebration to give back my blessings to everyone.  Many wonderful companies join in with me and also give away great goodies too!!  It will be a month long celebration.  You can win no matter where you live, you can (and many people will) win multiple times over the month so I will not mail out any prizes until March.

SALE--just got word there is a 25% off sale at Sweet Pea stamp today and tomorrow HERE

Happy New Year's Eve

Happy New Year's Eve everyone!  I hope you got everyone done in 2012 that you wanted to, if not, you have today to get it done.  Here's a great card today using a beautiful stamp from artist Myka Jelina of Queen Kat Stamps  She's all dressed up and has a drink for the new year.  Isn't she awesome?  I love all the stamps that come from this artist.

I added a simple Love You sentiment to the card (also from Queen Kat) and some bling so I can give this sweet card to my sweetie.  Who else would I want to celebrate with on New Year's eve?  I wish everyone a great and prosperous 2013!  Let's all pull out some stamps and have fun next year. I know I can't wait.

Hugs, Holley

Meet Jesse

Here's an awesome Queen Kat image called Jesse from artist Myka Jelina.  Isn't she stunning?  All of Myka's images are amazing.  I love her beautiful wings and curly hair.  She has awesome attention to detail.  She has some many stunning stamps at the Queen Kat store, it's hard to just get one or two when I am shopping there.

That awesome lace on the bottom is more of what I got last year when I was in Istanbul.  Believe it or not, I still have more stashed away that I haven't shown on my blog yet!  My dear friends there have of course invited me back and I SO want to go!!
