Get Well

I am posting a special Get well card today for a dear lady at my church who had an encounter with a dog and needed 100 stitches to her face!!!  OH MY!  when I had brain surgery, I only needed 80 staples to hold my head back together so I can't imagine 100 stitches.  She's elderly, but in excellent shape and good spirits.  All your good thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

Unity Lady

Here's a stunning image from Unity stamps.  I just love their quality and there wonderful images.  YUM!!  They are having a contest on their facebook group to use fall colors, so I hope brown counts and it is definitely one of my very favorites.

Have a wonderful week.  Cheers, Holley

Cute girl

Love these fun girl images from Notturno Digi Art stamps on Etsy.  The store has the cutest girl images and some delightful animal stamps as well.  I just love the big eye girls myself.  Totally my favorite.

Today the school is out, but the staff like me are working.  (lol, SIGH)  Teacher's are meeting with parents, but I am not a teacher (but a special needs paraprofessional).  At any rate, I have to be there too, mostly doing misc  nothing work, HA!

Is it Fall yet?

Is it fall yet?  Here's the perfect card for Fall time, using some pressed leaves.  We had a couple of days this week when it wasn't in the 90s, does that count as fall?  I guess in central Texas it does LOL!  but seriously, by Friday we had dropped down to the 40s!

Thank You

Sharing a lovely Anna Griffin Thank you card that I made using a kit she sells. I also added some great lace to it.  I am so excited with thoughts of going back to Turkiye this summer.  I hope to see Cappadocia and the land of the Hittites as well.

Have a wonderful weekend.  Many Blessings to all of you.

Bad MOOO-D

Here's a hilarious card using a fun image from Taylored Expressions Grumplings.  I think I have had a number of days recently that have been pretty tough so I haven't exactly been my best.  Though during school hours I just put on a smile and act happy to the kids.  Then the poor hubby when he gets home, I am gloomy or sad.

Hopefully things will be changing real soon.  Keep your fingers crossed for me.  HUGS!

Cute Ghost

Here's a great Halloween card using a wonderful Kit from SEI.  That ghost comes from some gorgeous paper with shimmery ghost pattern.  I just love it.  Their card kits always have the best stuff included and way more goodies than the instructions call for so you can change the designs if you desire.

Have a wonderful weekend.  I am so ready for that!

Have a Witchy Day!

Sharing this darling Unity stamp today featuring one of my favorite artist's from them, Lisa Glanz.  I just adore all of her Unity stamps and I think I own just about all the Unity stamp sets she has designed including this adorable Halloween set.

Have a marvelous SPOOKY day!!

Zombie Girl

Here's an awesome image from Lizzy Love (Oddballs). I do so love her awesome images.  There's a great contest going on their blog this month.  I am using Copic markers to color this image and some adorable skull stickers to go with it.  You can find her on the website at image 526

Hope you are having a great week.  Be sure and check out the Oddball stamps and their current contest!

I love you so much

Here's a delightful stamp from Your Next Stamp.  I just love this cute animal image with a matching saying, "I love you so much, I could squish you."  TOO cute.    How can you resist this?  I had to pick this image up on one of my last on line shopping trips a while back.  (lol, online shopping trips, ha!)

Hope you all have a great week.  I can't believe we are already in Week 8 of school. Changes are brewing, I would really appreciate prayers.  God knows why they are needed for me right now, just send love and thoughts :)

For you Friend

Here's another wonderful Anna Griffin Friend theme card. I just love her wonderful kits for those quick and easy cards that you need in a hurry.  They turn out so lovely and if you add some of your own embellishments, like the little red buttons here, it really gives it a personal touch.

Cheers, Holley

Simple Fall Moments

Sharing this lovely leaf card that I made using some beautiful pressed leaves from a fellow church member.  I wish I could say that it felt like Fall here but we are still touting mid to upper 90s with 100 degree "feels like" humidity!  UGH!

Perhaps mother nature has not gotten the memo that it is Fall time.

What a Smashing Idea!

sharing this great image today from Ike's art.  There's two different contests going on that you enter your Ike's Art cards into.  One is the Your Scrapbook Place Challenge blog and the other is the Ike's World Challenge blog.  There's many wonderful freebie images from Ike's art on their World Challenge blog (see the link on the blog header line) and make some great cards to play on both sites.

We'd love to have to enter and win some prizes!
Cheers, Holley

Its the candy monster

OK, I am the candy monster.  But, lately I have been doing really good at staying away from most all forms of candy.  Most forms of concentrated sugar in fact.  That's not easy for me.  I do love me some sugar.  Not having it is tough.  I told the DH to skip the candy for Halloween (for me of course, not himself or the trick or treaters).

Hope you all are avoiding the candy monster!

Happy Halloween

Here's a great Bestie Stamp for Halloween.  Don't you love her?  She's just perfect for the upcoming holiday!  I colored her up in purples and blacks along with the cute bats and added some wonderful cardstock stickers to go with her.  Check her out along with many other wonderful Besties at the store www.MyBestiesShop.com

Have a great week everyone!
