(I just like the snow and cold in images though, not in real life, lol!!)

Hope you too like her images!  Check out all her great stuff at her Bestie Store, MyBesties, she also has some great coloring books on Amazon.

Hippo in a snowglobe

Here's an awesome image from artist Sandra Caldwell. Don't you love it? It's a hippo in a gumball snowglobe!  How cute is that?  I thought this stamp was just TOO cute.  I had to get it from her Etsy store, Babycakes DND.  In just a couple weeks the new design team will be sharing all new images that Sandra is busy creating right now!  Are you ready to see them?

If so, then drop by and join out Sandra Caldwell Stamp Fans group on Facebook where we have fun contests, share our cards and play games.  You will also see all of Sandra's brand new stamps when they come out!

Here's an adorable set of images from LOTV, I totally love their stamps, get ready to see a bunch of cards using their wonderful images as they had a recent sale and I just couldn't resist!  I got several adorable teddies, some cute girls and even a little boy!

Here's a card that I had already made though and I am using some of the gorgeous lace that I got while visiting Istanbul.  I have already printed out several of my new LOTV images and will be completing cards with them soon, so get ready to see!

Cheers, Holley

Missing Spring yet?

With spring so far away, at least it feels like it's quite a ways away here, let me share some beautiful pressed floral cards today

You are my favorite thing

Here's an adorable image from Cat's Pajama's I totally LOVE this cat.  This is one of their classic images from back when they did wood stamps.  I think they may have a couple rubber stamps using this guy.  Totally adorable.

I am making some fun valentines now as I get ready for Celebration month and I spent yesterday cleaning up the crafting area and sorting all the prizes into boxes so they would be a little better organized.  I guess it will depend on whether I start working during Feb or not as to how much time I have to work on the assorted packages this year.  I may get a head start on them!!

Cheers, Holley

If life gives you curves....

Here's an awesome image from Lizzy Love. I totally adore her stamps (Oddball Art Stamps).  This image came with the cute saying shown.  I guess I can say flaunt the curves to a point, but perhaps I need to actually make a new years resolution....hmmmm...I guess we all know how determined I can be if that is really my goal. But lately, it's not been my goal.

I am entering their contest on Facebook, she has contests on her blog as well as her facebook group each month, so get one of her awesome stamps and join in the fun!!

Cheers, Holley

Candy Time is coming!

 Are you ready for some goodies?  I must confess that I am way less organized this year than I have been in years past. As I am sure many of you following the blog may know I have been looking for work, yes, the dreaded W word!  Work outside of crafting to pay for the darn insurance bills.  Crazy how now that I have my health back my insurance is 9000 a year, huh?

But, I am NOT complaining, believe me, I would rather be this healthy paying for insurance than sick as I was going to the doctors all the time.  This celebration is about HEALTH and Happiness and of course mainly about CRAFTS!!!  WOO HOO!!

Here's a cutie stamp from Sweet Pea stamps

so I don't have any organized photos, but I thought y'all would either be delighted or horrified to see the state of "prize table" which has now overflowed to an area next to my desk as well as the floor below it, lol!!

This is the 6x3" table (like a regular sized lunch table at the schools) covered in stuff, as you can see, the stacks got a little out of hand, I need to go back through everthing and organize it.

This whole tube is full of rubber stamps and stamp sets, mostly sets as I have a separate smaller tub that contains rubber only stamps

One box of embossing folders and die cutters

Some die cutters that were off sitting on a separate table

When I get more time I will post more photos and get around to organizing a little better!!
