Summer Mermaid

Sharing this lovely mermaid image from Sherri Baldy today.  I just adore her beautiful Bestie stamps.  This image is just perfect for your summertime creations. I turned this card into a Thank You card for some Summertime events as I am often invited to parties and other affairs and I like to send the host a little note afterwards.

I am using some wonderful Turkish lace at the base that makes me think of waves and I have this adorable cat mermaid button that is just TOO cute.  Hope you are having a magical summer.  Be sure and check out Sherri Baldy's amazing stamps at www.MyBestiesShop.com

Up, Up, and Away

Wishing all of you a great day today.  Happy Hump day as they say.

With Sympathy

We recently has two passings in our church. One was a very long time member who family as been attending and the other was a more recent member whom I also knew that got cancer.  Quite a sad loss in both cases. I wish their families peace.

Here's a card I did using a wonderful kit that comes from Anna Griffin to which I added some Turkish lace.

Here comes the sun

Here's a cute summery card using a great flower stamp from Bloobel.  It's no longer open, but I was lucky enough to get a bunch of their stamps as a member of their design team before they closed.  I adore their fun and quirky images.

Hope your summer is going well, I can't believe we are almost all the way through June.  EEEK. Summer sure is going quickly. Not sure I am yet ready for the next school year just yet.

Smile

Time for a sweet Unity card this week. I just love their sweet and simple stamps too.  They have such a huge variety everything from elegant and detailed, to simple and cute like this one.  I though this made a quick and cute card that could be used for lots of different occasions

Hope you are having a wonderful week.  Smiles from me. Hope this card brought a little smile into your day today.

Cheers, Holley

Summer of Naps

Here's a fun card I made for the SUMMER theme contest over at Cat's Pajamas.  You see, for teachers and staff at the local school district, summer means relaxation and well, NAPs for a lot of us, most especially ME.  Woo HOO!!  and I feel about as special as the cute dog in this picture, perched on my purple pillow with a crown and everything.

No Prob-Llama

Thought a little LLama card would be some fun today.  Here's a quick and cute card that I made up when someone gave me a bunch of adorable LLama embellishments.  TOO FUN.  This year for easter, my hubby bought me a hilarious stuffed llama, though, more the shape of a round ball, it has a llama face on it, but definitely is more shaped like an easter egg lol!  Too soft though, so I love it.

Hope you are having a great week.  Drop by tomorrow for a brand new card using new images from Sandra Caldwell!

Sweet pea Stamps

Here's  a stamp from Sweet Pea stamps that I got a long time ago, but also this image comes from The East Wind.  I just love their images so much. I was so excited when Sweet Pea stamps made their images into rubber.   I miss Sweet Pea stamps, I worked for them for many many years.

Speaking of, I am selling goodies in several Facebook groups, including a bunch of Sweet Pea stamps, if you are interested, email or check me out on facebook and I can give you a link to the sale pages.  Cheers, Holley

Love and a Cat

Here's the cutest Unity stamp today.  I am just loving their goodies.  I have become a total Unity stamp addict. My DH bought me a membership to their kit of the month club this year so I am totally enjoying getting a new kit everymonth but also they send regular coupons and other goodies out that I can't resist lol!

I have so many Unity cards waiting to share with you!  I hope you will love them.

Hello Beautiful!

sharing a sweet and simple SEI Shaker card from one of their monthly kits today. I just love their stunning papers that come in their kits.  Can't believe we are on the second week of June already.  I have been spending this summer selling supplies on facebook, to raise money for a trip to Turkiye next year.  I can't wait to go back there.

Take a Chill Pill

Here's one of my favorite stamp line from Taylored Expressions, they are the Grumplings.  TOO FUN.  They are all quirky little animals with sarcastic sayings.  Needless to say, I own them ALL.  They are too perfect.  Right now in TX, I need a chill pill, or just give me a full prescription of them because summer is going to be HOT! HOT! HOT!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Happy Birthday Cherry

Wishing my cousin Cherry a very happy birthday today!  Many blessings to you and your family.  Have a great birthday today and I hope you get everything you want and more.

For You

Here's an awesome stamp from the Oddballs line at Stamping Bella. I just love these stamps.  There's something so fun about them.  I had to pick up a bunch of them.  Here's a card I made using some awesome Turkish Lace as well.

Have a wonderful week!

Cheers, Holley

Be open to change

Here's a large rectangular card, just telling you that it is large so you can understand the size of the image from Unity stamp.  I love the sentiment, it goes perfect with the image, "be open to change." but also, for people like me, who have gone through brain surgery, it definitely has a double meaning.

So, be open to change, like me, it could bring something wonderful.

Happy Birthday Dad

Happy Birthday to my father today. I hope you have some special plans and have a great Birthday.  Many blessings for your special occasion.

This card was made with a cute kit from Anna Griffin and I added some wonderful lace that I got while in Turkiye.

Happy June

Sharing some adorable calendar projects today using three unity stamps and one (the cat) from Taylored Expressions (Grumplings line).  TOO cute.  Have a great Saturday to start out May

Cheers, Holley
