Treasure!

Hope you are having a great day and looking forward to next week. I am sharing this beautiful image from The East Wind.  I have always loved this artist's images!  So stunning. The card says, "You are a treasure."  how perfect is that?

Question of the day: what is your least favorite stamp topic?  do you not like christmas? alphabets? flowers? animals?  do you like 'em all?

Me?  Hmmm, I don't do much Christmas use many alphabets, don't do a lot of realistic looking stamps of flowers or scenery

Brrrr...Cool Treat

Happy Monday everyone!  Here's a fun image from Scribbles stamps, this cutie is for the current contest over on Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge.  The theme is anything goes this week, as long as you include a sentiment on the front of your card. 

This great image is called Brrr...cool treat!  Check him out over on the Scribbles site.  Then create your own fun card and share it with us at Outlawz!  Well, time to go back to school.  Sounds like Thanksgiving break was long, but in hindsight it was just TOO quick.

Cheers, Holley

Bend Over!

Here's a fun image from The East Wind.  They are sponsoring the current contest over at YSBP Challenge blog.  The contest is anything goes and you get an extra entry for using an East Wind stamp.  I hope you will drop by over there and share a card today!

I thought this Lucy Loo image was just TOO great for those sexy nurse cards you sometimes need, be it Halloween or get well times.  Hope you like it.

Have a great day!  Keep the doctor away LOL

99% angel

Here's an awesome image from Sweet Pea stamps. I so miss this company. I am thankful to have worked for them for many years so I have lots of rubber and digi stamps of their goodies.  This cutie has such a fun attitude.  I also did her up as a Christmas theme card, but I thought she would also work as a general theme stamp

I hope you are all having a great week.  Better start all getting ready for Thanksgiving as it is approaching so very quickly!

Sharing Bloobel Stamps

Here's a stamp you all had to know I would love.  This image is too quirky and fun, which is right up my alley.  It's from Bloobel Stamps.  She recently put a bunch of her wonderful images on sale and I had to scoop up a whole bunch of them before they got retired.   This one is still available for just $1 and is called Letting Go

I am using some Bazzil paper here and some fun Washi tape.  I hope you are all having a great day and that this card gave you a little smile.  You can check out this fun artist on her site, Bloobel stamps

Here's an adorable image from Lizzy Love (Oddball Arts) that I had to make a card out of for Halloween.  Isn't this too cute to spook?  so very adorable!  There's an awesome contest over at the Oddball Arts challenge blog that I am going to share this card in.  Be sure and check out their fun contest too!

Boo to all of you today and have a great finish to your weeks before the weekend comes.  Big hugs everyone!

A Hoot and a Half

Here's the cutest Unity Stamp, what an adorable Owl! Don't you just love these images from Unity Stamps? I have several images of this owl in different settings.  he's just TOO cute.  I also love the saying "You are a HOOT and a HALF"  Too fun.  I also got to add some great lace that I got while in Istanbul last summer.

I hope you are all having a great week. I can't believe we are at the end of Sept and ready for Oct to get started.  How can the weather here still be 90+ degrees F?

Leaf me Alone

Happy Friday everyone! It's time to share a brand new image from artist Sandra Caldwell today. This cutie is called Leaf me Alone 1847.  She will get added to Sandra's Etsy store Babycakes Dnd today!  There will be lots of wonderful new images added to the store and fantastic design team cards shared on the Facebook group Sandra Caldwell Stamp Fans.

I hope everyone has had a great week and has some exciting plans for the weekend.  It will be nice and quiet here. I wish it would be a little cooler. My best friend got to visit her daughter in Utah and told me it was 50 degrees F there.  It was 90 degrees here, so needless to say I wish there was a happy medium!

Happy Birthday Sister!

Here's a cute birthday card that I made for my sister Hallie. Today is her Birthday!!  Make a wish Sis and I hope it comes true.  I am using an adorable image called Fluffles. I totally love Fluffles stamps, I was super sad when they were discontinued.  I am also using wonderful papers from Paper Temptress on this card.

The base of the card is Mica/Metallic in Flame.  Then I layered another Mica/Metallic called Bronze.  I added a great Hambly Studio Overlay called Gold Hanging Heliconias.  You can get Hambly Studio screenprints and overlays in a wonderful pack of 6x6" sheets which are perfect card size.  I stamped fluffles out onto some Neenah solar white classic crest paper and die cut him with Spellbinders Nestabilities.  Then I added a die cut sentinment in Kraft.

Unity Owl Stamp

Here's a cute image from Unity stamps, I am in love with this owl character that they sell. I have bought several different stamp sets that he is in.  This is one of them.  I am pretty sure that this sentiment also comes from Unity stamps.

Hope you are all having a wonderful week.  Where you all able to see the solar eclipse?

It's an orange kind of day!

There's a wonderful contest over on the SSS Challenge blog this week, it's mono-tone. I hope my card counts as I am using all different shades of oranges!  I thought that would be just perfect for summertime.  Don't you love this adorable Bestie from Sherri Baldy?

She is just too cute and she has some lovely flowers to share with you.  Drop by over at the SSS Challenge blog and you can join in the fun.  You could win some wonderful prizes from Sherri Baldy and perhaps be a guest designer on the Addicted to Stamps blog!

I love you so much!

Here's something that I rarely have, a card using a male image!  I guess I just don't see a lot of men/boy stamps that I like.  This cutie was from Simply Betty though and I had to color him up and make a card.  TOO cute.  He has some white roses for his sweetie.

I hope you are having a great summer, I don't know how it has flown by!!  where has the time gone?

Meet Fiona

Here's an adorable image from artist Lizzy Love (Oddball Art).  I just LOVE her cute images.  This one is just TOO cute, it's img170B.  The Challenge this month is called Spread your Wings, so I thought this cute image was just perfect along with a lovely butterfly that also has some pink inside.  I wish the lace on this card was showing up as bright green as it is.  It's almost neon, which is super cool and matches the colors in her hair.

Check out their current CHALLENGE and join in the fun!  Maybe you will win some awesome images from Lizzy Love.  You can check out all of her fun store images HERE.  There's also a fun contest in her facebook group.

Fairy Child

Here's a super cute new Fairy image from artist Sandra Caldwell today.  This adorable cutie is called Fairy Child 1560.  How sweet is she?  just too much!  I loved her and colored her up in yellows with a hint of orange to go with some yellow flowers with orange sequin centers.

I hope you love all of Sandra's new images today, she will be adding a bunch of new stamps to her Etsy store, Babycakes DND.  You can also check out a bunch of new card shares on her facebook site, Sandra Caldwell Stamp Fans where you will see creations made with all her brand new images and more!

Fairy dog

Here's a cute image I got from Sweet Pea stamps back when they sold rubber. I totally miss that company so much!  I love this cute fairy girl holding her dog.

They are Best Friends.

Here's a close up of the cute image:

Hope you all have a wonderful day.  Give your fur babies (be it a cat or a dog) a hug!!
