Behave?

"I want to behave but there were too many other options."  HA!  that's what this cat is thinking.  This cute image comes from a Tim Holtz set.  I am using a ribbon from Turkiye as an embellishment.  I am in love with these cat stamps.  I have seen this design before. It was also done by a couple other companies before it came out with Tim Holtz.  Anyone know who the artist is?

Question of the day:  cat person?  dog person?  both?  neither?

I definitely like both, think I tend more towards cats. Lol I say that but look at this month and you'll see a lot of cute doggies

Super Happy

 Sharing this beautiful Unity stamps card today.  I am using a butterfly and sentiment that come from various KOTMs (Kit of the Month).  I am also using some gorgeous Turkish ribbon (or trim?).    It says, "You make me super happy."  I bought this lace from a store that I shared a number of photos of it on my facebook site.  They have a small shop downstairs, but you go upstairs to the fifth floor and WOAH, omg it's just woah!  Unbelievable.  You've never seen so much before.

Check out my Lace store on Etsy.  I sell lace that buy every summer in Istanbul.  It's stunning lace that you won't see on sale anywhere else: LacePlaceByHolley - Etsy

No Decaf

I thought this stamp was hilarious with this sentiment to go with it.  I pared it with some great Turkish Ribbon.  Too fun.  I can't say I know if there is any decaf in Turkey.  I have never seen it.  It's not something I have ever seen anyone ask for either.  They just don't have that as a choice.  I have NEVER seen decaf soda.  There is TWO soda, coke and coke zero.  Occasionally you will see sprite.  Occasionally you will see Pepsi and Pepsi Max.  Rarely you will also see Diet Coke.  But 99% of the time just coke and coke zero.

Donuts and Coffee

 Here's a cutie that I made for my DH.  This fun combo comes from Honey Bee stamps. I love their great coffee theme sets.  I used some interesting sewn ribbon?  I don't know what you would really call this.  I guess ribbon.  Maybe just trim.  Any opinions?

check out my lace store, NOTE: it will shut down for summer while I am in Turkiye; Closing on June 4

I love you more than naps

 sharing this cute card today that I made for my DH.  I like you more than naps.  Well, he knows how much I like naps, but then, he'd might want to call my bluff.  LOL, just kidding. I love him MORE than naps, but naps are very much a close second.  I am using some gorgeous trim that I got while in Tukiye last summer.

Hey Chick

 Sharing this hilarious chicken image from Stamping Bella's Oddballs line.  I just need to come up with a funny saying to go with him.....anyone got one? To me je just looks like a babe magnet who's trying to pick up the chicks!  HA!  Hope this card gave you a smile today.

Dear Thoughts

Here's a delightful image from Penny Black.  I love their cute cat and dog images.  This one is no exception.  I added a fun sentiment, "Dear Thoughts, be happy"  I thought that was TOO cute.  Makes me think of the upcoming vacation.  WOO HOO.

Sooooo Kissable

 Here's a cute sloth card using a stamp from Inky Antics.  It's more fall themed than spring, so perhaps I should have waited and posted it in the fall time, but I wanted to share it now as I am posting lovey card for the DH as I get ready to go to Turkiye.

Lady in Green

Here's a gorgeous green card for March for the contest over on Unity Stamps facebook page challenge.  The challenge is to use green.  I just love this lime green color and I use it a lot  This is a sweet image so she's just perfect for the challenge.  I am also using some wonderful RIBBON from Turkiye instead of lace.  Join in the fun!

Frazzled Cat

Here's a great stamp from Limited Runs today.  It's a frazzled cat that's kind of the way I feel in the mornings, lol, though in Texas I am usually desiring diet dr pepper in the morning more than coffee.  But I will still occasionally take a donut please (hold the sprinkles).
