Coffee Joy

Here's a cute image from Cat's Pajamas stamps along with a funny sentiment from Rubbernecker.  I added some great Turkish lace to go with it and used an embossed card background.  How quick and cute is that?

 

Coffee time Monday

 Happy Monday everyone.  I thought we could all use a little coffee theme card today.  I know that's one of my favorite topics.  I feel like I had such a busy weekend that I didn't get a break and now i t's back to work!  Well, fortunately, we are just five days to SPRING BREAK.  You know I used to think only kids looked forward to such things (back when I was a kid).  Now I realize that teachers probably look forward to such things even more than the kids!

This cutie comes from Cat's Pajamas.  I love this funny cat holding a fish bone.  It says, "NO Coffee NO Talkee"  HA!  Wish I could tell the kids at my school that.  Too funny.

Oolong?

So all of you know one of my favorite themes is Coffee/tea.  Here's a great stamp/sentiment from Cat's Pajamas rubber stamps.  I am using some gorgeous specialty papers from Paper Studio.  I colored it with copic markers.

so let's start off the month with a question of the day, each day I will ask a question, I keep a notebook, I jot down people's info, what they like and don't like and then use that info each year to build their packages so they get something that they hopefully will love!  So it's definitely in your interest to answer the QUESTION OF THE DAY everyday so you will get prizes you LOVE.

Question of the day:  what is your favorite theme?

mine:  coffee/tea, skulls, cats/dogs, funny sentiments, puns, paisley, lovely papers, weird/quirky

Keep Calm

 Well, it's the last Monday of April, we definitely need some coffee!  I just love the coffee and tea images from Cat's Pajamas.  Their rubber (Clear) stamps were excellent quality, but now they only do digital.  That makes me sad.  But it's their business and it's much cheaper, so I totally understand.  I will say if they made some coffee images, I would buy them.

SOAR.

Here;s a great set of images from Cat's Pajamas.  I am back to work today, so I thought this card would be appropriate for me and my colleagues.  I think we are all ready to SOAR.  I posted the first of the blog candy yesterday, if you missed the posting, be sure and check it out.

 Wishing you a happy day.

Before Caffiene

Here's a funny card using image from The Cat's Pajamas. I do so love their fun stamps. I totally miss their challenge blog.  Now they do mostly digis.  These images, esp the coffee ones are just TOO cute though. I love them.  Hope you got a smile from this funny bunny.

 

WOOF

Here's a sweet dog theme card using a great stamp from The Cat's Pajamas Rubber Stamps plus some great Turkish lace that I got last summer (2020).  The sentiment and sentiment die cut are from Taylored Expressions.  I thought it went perfectly with this cute image.

Hoping you are all having a great week!

Follow your arrow

Here's a wonderful image and sentiment from Cat's Pajamas.  I thought they were just SO cute, it says, "Follow your Arrow"  I guess my arrow is in Istanbul because that is where I love to go.  Hmmm.  makes my heart feel happy.

So follow your arrow today, and go where it leads you.

Good Meowning

Here's the cutest image from Cat's Pajamas Rubber Stamps.  I just adore their images, I swear I must own 2/3 of their store, lol.  This cat image is too cute and it comes in the best set.  I hope you like it.  I know meownings are tough, but my home away from home in Turkey has a sweet cat (well, I dunno about sweet), she'll warm up to me sometimes, when she wants something and the owner isn't home.

Have a great meowning and a wonderful day!

Feline Great?

Sharing this Cat's Pajama's card with some gorgeous delicate Turkish lace. I just love the elegant lace they have in some of the stores there. I don't often buy the really delicate lace as it can be hard to add to cards, but sometimes, I just can't resist.

OK, are we still counting in Turkish?  bir, iki, uc (uch), dort, bes (besh), alti (alta) and seven is yedi;  I guess I should be counting FASTER lol if I am going to have my numbers learned by the time I get there, but a lot of it is just learning the primary numbers. A lot of what I look at is lower numbers anyways.  Things like beads can get expensive quickly though.

I'm fluffy

 Here's another Fat and Fluffy card for you.  Sorry you can't see the card's edges, but the card was quite white which blended into the background.  I did one card like this using a cat a couple months ago, it was a bit hit.  I thought I would use this cute guy from a Cat's Pajama's Rubber Stamp set.

I am guessing I am closer shaped to the Panda nowadays! LOL! OK, not as big as the panda, I am just kidding.  but certainly not as tiny as a cat, even a "fluffy cat."

Cute doggie

 Here's a great stamp from The Cat's Pajamas. I love their dog theme stamps and wonderful sayings that go with them. "This home is filled with Kisses wagging tails wet noses and LOVE"  How cute is that?  I added a couple of glittery paw prints to go with it.

Hope you are having a great April.

Be the person...

 Here's a great image from The Cat's Pajamas. I do love their stamps, they are top quality for clear stamps.  I own, I don't know, their whole store, lol, well, pretty close,  HA!  This cutie is no exception, it says, "Be the person your dog thinks you are."

I can't believe the first week has gone by and we are already in April.  Where has this year gone, you all realize this is the first quarter of the year, right?  has 2021 treated you better I hope?

Let's get carried away

 Here's a cute little stamp from Cat's Pajamas.  I thought this card, "let's get carried away" was a great theme as we are going into the celebration month!  WOO HOO.  Have you been watching all the goodies get posted?  I hope so.  I will have I have so much more than what I could take photos of.  I did my photos over the christmas holidays and after that just didn't have the time to make more.  I know you will all be so suprised!

Hope you have a wonderful day!  Did you see all the other blog candy shared? The party starts on Feb 1st.  Check it out HERE, HERE and HERE and HERE  and HERE

SO MUCH GOODIES!!

Personal Space

I thought this sentiment was hilarious given the times that we are in now.  Of course this stamp wasn't made for now, but made years ago, but given life's current situation, this stamp takes on a whole new meaning now doesn't it?  TOO FUNNY.

Check out the fun contest that happens on the Cat Pajama's Blog each month and join in the fun!  Did you see all the blog candy shared?, check it out HERE.

Need Space?

Thought I would share this fun card using image/sentiment from The Cat's Pajamas today.  This card is just perfect for the times we are in now.  It is just very surreal still, even now.    I thought the big blue star embellishments were just perfect with these images.

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!

I like you a Llama

 sharing another wonderful card for this month's TCP Tuesday Challenge at the Cat's Pajamas Blog.  This month's theme is animals, which I love their cute animal stamps.  I created this quick and cute or (CAS--clean and simple) card for the contest using a wonderful llama stamp they have--CLICK HERE.

Hope you love this little llama today.  Check out all the cute stamps over at The Cat's Pajamas.  They are just irresistable!
