Guest Designer Mel C

Here's an awesome card that was shared with me by Mel C using the stamps that she won from Deadsea Toons!  How awesome is this creation?  I just love it in black and white with a hint of color around the candle.  Great job Mel!  Thought it was perfect for a share on Halloween, which is also my Brother in Law's birthday

Happy Hallow's Eve

 Here's an awesome image from Lemon Shortbread that I love for Halloween time.  I added some great Turkish lace to go with her and a wonderful scarecrow that i put reaching out to touch her shoulder.  I hope you all have some fun plans for the holiday even though with covid, I can't imagine getting many trick or treaters this year.

Happy Hallow's Eve!

Pumpkin Spice

 Here's a great fall theme card using a wonderful Bestie Pumpkin theme Latte image from Sherri Baldy.  You can find this sweet image on her MyBestiesShop site HERE.  TOO cute. I am using some very delicate lace that I got while in Turkiye this past summer.  So much fun

I hope you are having a wonderful Fall time now.  We are having our first bout of cold and rainy weather here in south Texas.  Take care and be sure and check out all the wonderful Bestie Products on the website!

 Hope you are preparing for a happy (and SAFE) halloween, whatever that is for you.  Hugs!

Happy Saturday.  Sharing a couple cute stamp sets from InLoveArtShop today.  Here's the cutest little dog in a mug.  How fun is that.  Pup in a cup!  Made me think of coffee too, so I also added a couple of cute little coffee theme stamps from another set of InLoveArtShop.com stamps

I am using some awesome lace from Turkey to go with this cute image today.  I just love the eye popping design of the image and lace together.

I need a hug

Here's a cute fall time card, though we are far from fall time here. It's a blistering sun still in Texas.  But perhaps I am wishing for a TINY (and I mean TINY) bit of fall.  This cute comes from Unity stamps and I added a saying from them "I need a hug".  Don't you love that tiny brown bow?

I need a hug, it's been an ugly weather week, which stinks here at school when you deal with an all outdoor (aka portables) campus.  Esp when you have children with special hearing needs that don't need to get wet.

Halloween Greetings

Here's an awesome skull, dia de los muertos die cutter from In Love Art Shop.  I paired it with a large sentiment stamp from their Halloween stamp sets and added some bling to top the card off.  I thought it was perfect for a Halloween Card.  Check out InLoveArtShop.com for some awesome stamps and dies and get 15% off with the code: G-27160

 Here I am using Halloween Word Stamps  and  Cross Skull Die

It's your special day!

 I just wanted to wish Sherri Baldy a very Happy Birthday this year. I know this is a couple of days early, but I am taking advantage of this opportunity to post a birthday card that I created for her.  A little chocolate cake just for you!  Best of Birthday wishes for you today!

Hugs from Holley in Texas

Witchy woman?

Here's a fun card using a ton of wonderful lace from Turkiye play some great stamps from Unity stamps.  I thought this was perfect for Halloween time, but also great for any time of the year.  LOL, we all know that people can refer to some of us as hmmm, Witches year round

 Hope you are having a great day.  Cast a happy spell on things and have a wonderful week. Today my school DOUBLES the number of kids on campus even, wish us luck.  Six foot distancing will be use "When we can".  smh!!!

Guest Designer Karin

Here's a wonderful card made by Karin van Ejik using a two of her prizes that was sent this year!  I just love her beautiful work.  You can check out her blog, HERE, she shares a great cards everyday!

Halloween!

Sharing this stamp combo from Tim Holtz.  It comes with a funny cat stamp set that I just love. I thought it would be perfect all alone as a stamp combo for a halloween card.  I also added some skull ribbon that I bought while in Turkey.  Too fun to be shopping there.

 wishing you all a great weekend and a happy week next week!

Ghostly Greetings to you

 Here's a sweet and simple Halloween card using a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp (I am pretty sure).  I thought these little kids on this set were too cute.  I stamped the kids together and colored them up with copic markers and added some embellishments from Jolees.

May you get some Ghostly Greetings this Halloween!

Fierce!

 Sharing another card for the Your Scrapbook Place Contest this month with our feature sponsor, Lizzy Love artist of Oddball Arts (click here).  I am using a great image called Science Teach me Ms Ann Thrax img 102.  Too funny

I added a fun sentiment, "Though she may be little, She is FIERCE."  Perfect for this great image.  Don't you love her skull hose?  Be sure and join in the fun anything goes contest at the YSBP Challenge blog (HERE).  You can enter any of your latest creations to be eligible for this month's prize from Lizzy Love.

Rise Above it All

I thought I would add another back to school theme card for week 2 of school (IN PERSON).  The kids are all seeming very excited.  That's what is so sweet about elementary school kids.  They are always happy about coming back to school.  Not always true for the older kids.

This cute image comes from CC Designs.  I had it as a digi stamp.  It may have even been a freebie that they gave away at one time or another, but it is SO darn cute I bet I would have bought it given the chance!

I know that tiny Back to school sentiment comes from Taylored Expressions, I am not sure off the top of my head who does the Rise about it all sentiment. If you know please tell me. (I am thinking Unity but not sure!)

Guitar Girl

 Here's a wonderful stamp from InLoveArtShop.com  They have a wonderful collection of stamps and dies.  This stamp is much larger than shown here, I trimmed it for this card.  CLICK HERE to see the whole stamp as well as the additional that it comes with.

I have added some great leather like ribbon to go on this card. I got it in Turkey on a trip. I think it's just a simple and lovely embellishment(with buttons to boot!) to go with this gorgeous image.

Drop by the InLoveArtShop.com and as always, there's a 15% coupon code D-24915

Coffee is...

 Here's a super cute image from the Cat's Pajamas that's just perfect for their fall time contest on their TCP Tuesday Challenge this month. I do so adore their products. this one is no exception.  PLUS, it's coffee theme, so how can you not love that?  I added some great Turkish lace to go with it!  Perfect.

Have a great day today everyone!

You make me happy...

You Make Me Happy...When Skies are Gray.  Just makes me smile and that song will probably not leave my head all day now.  This card comes from a delightful kit made by SEI.  They have wonderful kits that are often on sale price for about $10 a kit (will make 8 cards plus envelopes and you'll have a bunch of extra stuff left from your kit so you can change what you make or make extra cards if you want).

I can't believe we are already in October, I thought this was great colors for fall time

Count your Blessings

Here's a precious stamp of a cute kitty from one of my favorite Unity stamp artists, Lisa Glanz.  I just love all of her images, esp the cute animals.  This cat is no exception.  TOO adorable.  I am also using some great lace that I got while in Turkey several summers ago.
