Oh Turkiye...

Oh Turkiye...

We shell be together soon...well, I guess two more months.  It seems like an eternity away really, but I know time will go faster.  I made this cute card using a fun stamp from Hero arts and of course, some great Turkish lace.

Celebrate Family

 I can't believe we are at the end of March already.  Here's a sweet card using a stamp from Lili of the Valley. They make the most the adorable little elephants.  I just had to get this set (it comes with two other little elephant images). It's just perfect for cards like this.  Don't you love the yellow turkish lace?

Kindness

 Here's a great image from Unity stamps that I colored her up in wonderful lime greens and used some great Turkish lace to go with it.  I just love the cute kitty here. I hope you love this card too!  There's a Facebook contest in the Unity group for cards with green this month.

Guest Designer Janis

Here's a beautiful card that I received from Janis this holiday season.  I wish you could see all the beautiful shimmer on it.  I don't this picture does it justice at all.  It's so lovely in person.  The ornaments are so sparkly too and the boarder is a lovely gold.  Thank you Janis.

If you have a project to share or something you have made with one of your prizes, I'd love to see it and share it on my blog!  Drop me a message, send it to me, or email me htondre@aol.com or Facebook me.

Hello

Sharing this card that I made using a kit from the Paper Loft today.  It basically allows you to take 2 sheets of 12x12 paper and create 10 different cards from it!  it's pretty cool.  I took a class at the last scrapbook convention, and we had a blast.  I totally recommend it.

Hot! Hot! Hot!

 I wanted to make another card for the online Facebook Unity Challenge using  Greens and I just love this little guy so I have to use him for the next entry into the contest.  He's too fun.  The sentiment says, "You're Steamin' hot" and I am using some great Turkish Lace.  Hope this card brings you a smile.

Astro-chick?

"Never walk when you can fly {but still tie your shoelaces}"  What a great quote for this adorable image from Kinda Cute by Patricia and this stunning lace from Turkiye!   YUM to both.  I used a blue polka dot card to give a space theme look.  I adore Patricia's images, look her up!

Meow you been?

Here's a super cute cat stamp from Unity Stamps.  I added their fun sentiment, Meow You Been?  I used some delightful paw print stickers in the background.  I fussy cut the cat and a black background for it.  Too sweet.  There's a fun cat themed contest every month HERE.

I'll be there for you

Doesn't this sentiment remind you of that theme song from FRIENDS?  I know that's the first thing that pops into my head...now I am going to have that song playing in my head all day long.   I thought this cat from KatzelKrafts was just TOO cute. I had to get him.  He's just perfect for the cat contest HERE.

Dragon card

Here's a great stamp from Sandra Caldwell of BabyCakes DND on Etsy.  I just LOVE her and all her wonderful stamps.  This card opens in the center.  Isn't he adorable?

Got Bones?

Here's the cutest dog from Penny Black.  I added a home made sentiment to him, Got Bones?  TOO funny.  I think he is just perfect.    I also put on a bunch of bone confetti from Recollections.  Though now thinking, putting this cute dog inside a shaker card with the bones would have also been just adorable!

Hogs'N Kisses

I thought this stamp set from Stamping Bella's Oddballs line was just TOO funny.  They also have a sentiment stamp set to go with it.  They all make me laugh.  I used some gorgeous turkish ribbon to add to the base of this card, it matches just perfectly.  So, Hogs'N Kisses everyone!
