Here's an adorable image from Digistamps4joy!  We are having a brand new contest over at Outlawz for the the Monday Greetings Challenge tomorrow and our theme will be black and white  plus one color.  As always don't forget to add your sentiment!

This adorable image comes with several cute sentiments that you can add to the sign they have.  Check it out! 

Guest Designer

Here's an amazing card that I got from Melody S!  I totally loved her flowers and I thought them so appropriate for Earth day!  The flower dies are one of the prizes that she won during the February celebration!

 She also did wonderful stamping inside as well as on the envelope that she sent the card in using a beautiful stamp set that she won!!  Thanks so very much.

Cheers, Holley

Dina Angel of Learning

This super cute image is called 1521 Dina Angel of Learning from artist Sandra Caldwell.  This brand new image will be added to her Babycakes DND store on Etsy today.  I thought she was just so sweet and perfect for me as I have been working in an elementary school recently.

I hope you all love Sandra's new image, there will be this one and many more added to her store today.  You can also see a bunch of new card shares with the new images at her facebook group, Sandra Caldwell Stamp Fans.

Friendship Blooms and Grows

Here's an adorable Lemon Shortbread image today.  She's just too cute.  I used some great die cuts with her to finish off this card.  I got this image back when she was being sold by Sweet Pea stamps, but now you can find her images at her Etsy store HERE

Have a beautiful day everyone!

Sweetest Girl, Be Free

Here's a great image from Lili of the Valley.  These girls are just TOO sweet. I love the dandelion she is holding and I got this awesome dandelion die cutter sometime ago.  I added some sweet sentiments, Sweetest Girl and Be Free, which makes me think of her thoughts as she blows the seedlings off the dandelion.

Hope your week is going great.  Cheers, Holley

Pirates!

Here's the cutest little boy from artist Sherri Baldy.  I have been loving her little guys lately.  I colored this one up as a pirate and added some fun embellishments to match.  The current contest over on the SSS Challenge blog is Anything Goes, so please come by and share all your wonderful Sherri Baldy creations with us!

You could win your choice of some wonderful stamps from Sherri as well as be a guest designer on the Addicted to Stamps Blog. We'd love to have you!

Cozy Mornings

Here's a wonderful image from Tory Tale who is sponsoring the Monday Greetings Challenge at Outlawz.  The theme this week is anything goes, but of course, you must always include a sentiment on the front of your card.  This awesome image is called Cozy Morning.

Drop by the Outlawz page and join in our fun with the Monday Greetings group.  You could win an awesome prize from Tory Tales! 

Gorjuss Girl gift box

One of my more recent purchases was a die cut system that would cut out and make a Gorjuss Girl.  As I am sure you know, I just LOVE Gorjuss Girls.  Here's my first one, sorry the lighting is bad on the photo, it's a gift box that I decorated using the sweet die cut along with two large flowers and then some great papers.  I made this cute gift box and filled it with cards for a dear member of my church who is going through some major medical problems right now.

I thought a little spring Gorjuss Girl would cheer her up!

Guest Desinger Karin

Here's a stunning project that Karin created using a grand prize that she won during the Feb Celebration. It was  a set of Spellbinders die cuts that she is using here on this card.  How stunning.

Karin has an awesome blog if you haven't seen it, check it out here:  https://karinsartscrap.blogspot.nl

School Girl

Here's a fun new image from artist Sandra Caldwell today.  This cute girl is 1512 School Girl.  I just had to pick her because of the big long thick pony tail.  Ahhh, that is SO me.  Very much so.  I colored her up with dark brown hair (though lol, my hair was way more white in there than I would care to admit!)

I must say I have been "Back to School" now as I just too a job with the school district.  I know I have mentioned it before, but it's been quite a hoot going to an elementary school every morning by 7:15 and seeing the little kids all day.  How fun is that!  As the card says "So VERY important!"

Blueberries

Here's a great Bestie image from artist Sherri Baldy that I am using with some wonderful Paper Temptress Papers to create this great card.  I think the papers just shimmer and the image just pops right off the front of the card.

This great paper is premium black glossy paper.  I then added a layer of glamour gold glossy.  The image is printed on Neenah Solar White Classic Crest paper.  I added some wonderful lace ribbon on top along with some adorable polka dot purple buttons.

I hope this card gives you a smile today!

Cheers, Holley

Good in Green

Sharing this wonderful image from The East Wind.  I just love her amazing stamps.  Here's one that she shared with us a while back and I had to make a card with it using some great designer paper from India.  I paired it with some bling I got at my local craft store.

I hope you are having a great week so far.  Many blessings!

Elegant Lady

Vintage Cards

Here's a beautiful image from Mari's Digi stamps.  I created this lovely card for the new contest at Outlawz Monday greetings Challenge.  The theme this week is vintage Jane Austin.  This wonderful stamp is B-99 Jane Austen Inspiration.  I decided to create  a vintage theme using mostly browns with some great crème colored lace that I got in Istanbul.

Embrace each day

I thought this cute card was just perfect for Spring time.  She's from PpinkyDolls.  TOO cute.  I adore these sweet stamps.  The weather has been so very nice and we are so enjoying it right now, it's almost to the point where it's getting hot in the afternoons.  The allergens are just killing people though as the trees and grass is blooming and causing many people pain.

I hope you are all having a great week.  Hugs!

She's a cutie

Can you believe we are already on the week of Easter?  the month is nearing half over and the school year is actually approaching it's end?  what? Well I made this cute with a little girl because now that I am working at a school I see these little darlings every day. 

I hope you are having a great April and that everyone has some plans for Easter weekend. I know the schools here will be closed on Friday so this week will be short.

An Easter Bestie card

Here's a wonderful image from artist Sherri Baldy.  We are starting a brand new contest over on the SSS Challenge blog and our theme is Easter!  I think this spring image is a sweet Easter theme image as well, I am using some bright spring colors and I added some fun Happy Easter ribbon to go with it.

Drop by the SSS Challenge blog to join in the fun!  You could win some wonderful stamps from Sherri Baldy and become a guest designer on the Addicted to stamps blog.

Let them eat cake!

Here's a fun card I created using some wonderful papers from Paper Temptress in combination with some Lace I got in Istanbul and a great stamp from Lili of the Valley.

The base of the card is a wonderful brilliant yellow infused with Mica that just shines in flecks all over, it's called Mangue Sparkle.  I layered the ribbon on a small strip of basis black card stock.  I printed out the image on Neenah Solar White Classic Crest card stock and then layered it on Black Glossy paper, which just shimmers.

Sparkly....

Here's an adorable image from Lizzy Love. I totally LOVE her girls.  This one is just TOO cute. I am using pink with lime green.  I thought the pink sentiment was hilarious "I was ready to take on the world but I got distracted by something sparkly!"  HA!

Oddball Arts is having a contest on their Facebook page, Anything Goes theme and you can join in the fun.  There's also a contest on their blog, the theme there is Friendship.

Have a great day everyone.
