The Mustache

Here's a wonderful rubber stamp from one of Sweet Pea's newest artists The East Wind.  This great image is called Lucy Loo Mustache.  I am totally in love with the Lucy Loo stamps!  Even though she does look very serious here, I did this card in a playful them by added the sentiment "Laugh with me."  I do think it's even funnier that a lady with such a serious face would hold up a mustache and give you that look.
 
I wanted to keep this card simple so I used some specialty papers, lovely lace and some shimmery embellishment bling called Candi.  They come is gorgeous color combos.
 
Here's a close up of the Lucy Loo image.

 
Check out all the East Wind images available in rubber stamps only at the Sweet Pea store.  We also have a wonderful group on Facebook that you can share your creations and participate in regular contests to win prizes, it's called Sweet Pea Stamps Friends and Fans
 
I am so excited to have prizes from Sweet Pea stamps! 
 
So what's your favorite holiday to craft for?  I guess I don't really have to say it if you have seen my blog for any length of time, you probably know which holiday gets about 2 months of the year. Yes, for me, it's Halloween.  After that probably making fun sexy cards for the hubby so, not necessarily valentines, but just love theme in general.
 
Have you checked the winner list?  New winners are getting added!  I haven't heard from a lot of the winners of the list! If you see your name on there drop me an email htondre@aol.com.

    I am crazy about this image! She could be so cool with little gears embellishing her to make her steampunk!

    I don't really have a favorite holiday that I create for. I do some of every holiday really. I do have some favorite themes though. I like to do things with with owls, butterflies, bees, birds and flowers. I'm a shabby chic girl at heart. :)

    Great color combo on the card. Green is also my favorite color. I like Christmas for the decorations and family get togethers. I like Halloween for card making. Love the candi embellishments. I have some and love using them.

    I love the paper and image....matches perfect. I really don't have a favorite holiday but since you mentioned it, I'd have to say maybe Christmas. Although we spend it with family I still like table center pieces, maybe a wreath on the door and can get as simple or as crazy as I want. I guess anyone can do this any holiday but the Christmas season is longer so I get to enjoy some of the work longer than if I just did it for a birthday or Valentine's Day. Yeah, I'd have to say Christmas.

    A great card Holley and a fabulously fun image. I love the colours you've chosen. The Candi buttons are wonderful.
    Christmastime is my favourite for cards and projects as I have a lot of birthdays around that time too. I also love creating cards and gifts for Mother's Day. Sadly, Halloween isn't such a big occasion over here x
