Gone Crazy

Peachy Love today, here's an awesome image from Lizzy Love! You know I adore her beautiful art work, esp those girls!  they are too cute and quirky.  I just got a whole handful of images in her most recent sale so you will be seeing more and more cards with her images.  

She's having a great contest on her blog, HERE, the theme is using peach, not sure if this is considered peachy, but it's as close as I had.  LOL, does her face look like a big peach?  at any rate, I am happy to share her wonderful stamp today.

Cheers, Holley

Smile

Time for a sweet Unity card this week. I just love their sweet and simple stamps too.  They have such a huge variety everything from elegant and detailed, to simple and cute like this one.  I though this made a quick and cute card that could be used for lots of different occasions

Hope you are having a wonderful week.  Smiles from me. Hope this card brought a little smile into your day today.

Cheers, Holley

Summer of Naps

Here's a fun card I made for the SUMMER theme contest over at Cat's Pajamas.  You see, for teachers and staff at the local school district, summer means relaxation and well, NAPs for a lot of us, most especially ME.  Woo HOO!!  and I feel about as special as the cute dog in this picture, perched on my purple pillow with a crown and everything.  

Hope you are having a great summer to and I hope you get to enjoy a nice nap now and again even if you don't enjoy the summer off like I do.

p.s. check out the Cat's Pajamas website, too awesome, their stamps are just adorable and their contests have a wonderful prizes.

Little Red Fox

I am again sharing a wonderful image from Sheepski Designs today for the current contest over on Your Scrapbook Place challenge.  This cute fox it perfect for a spring and summer theme cards.  I love the sentiment on the sticker, Be Little, Dream Big.  How perfect is that?

Hope you are all having a great summer, may this week be something special for you. I hope those of you who celebrated father's day last week had a nice time.

Guest Designer Karin

No Prob-Llama

Thought a little LLama card would be some fun today.  Here's a quick and cute card that I made up when someone gave me a bunch of adorable LLama embellishments.  TOO FUN.  This year for easter, my hubby bought me a hilarious stuffed llama, though, more the shape of a round ball, it has a llama face on it, but definitely is more shaped like an easter egg lol!  Too soft though, so I love it.

Hope you are having a great week.  Drop by tomorrow for a brand new card using new images from Sandra Caldwell!

Sweet pea Stamps

Here's  a stamp from Sweet Pea stamps that I got a long time ago, but also this image comes from The East Wind.  I just love their images so much. I was so excited when Sweet Pea stamps made their images into rubber.   I miss Sweet Pea stamps, I worked for them for many many years.

Speaking of, I am selling goodies in several Facebook groups, including a bunch of Sweet Pea stamps, if you are interested, email or check me out on facebook and I can give you a link to the sale pages.  Cheers, Holley

Love and a Cat

Here's the cutest Unity stamp today.  I am just loving their goodies.  I have become a total Unity stamp addict. My DH bought me a membership to their kit of the month club this year so I am totally enjoying getting a new kit everymonth but also they send regular coupons and other goodies out that I can't resist lol!

I have so many Unity cards waiting to share with you!  I hope you will love them.

Hello Beautiful!

sharing a sweet and simple SEI Shaker card from one of their monthly kits today. I just love their stunning papers that come in their kits.  Can't believe we are on the second week of June already.  I have been spending this summer selling supplies on facebook, to raise money for a trip to Turkiye next year.  I can't wait to go back there.

If you are in Facebook (and who isn't?) check out the group Scrapbook Deal and look for my folder Holley Tondre Barnhart or ping me (aka send me an instant message) and I will link you to it. It's for USA to USA sales.

Cheers, Holley

Guest Designer Patricia Ceccacci

Here's wonderful creation from Guest Designer Patricia C, who created an amazing card with a Unity Stamp.  I sent her this stamp plus some sentiment back in early march just following the celebration.  She created this great card and shared it with me and I had to show you guys!  She is using some gorgeous Wink of Stella but you can't really tell that on the photo.

Guest Designer Linda S

Here's a fabulous card made by Linda Simpson using a prize she won during my February Celebration month from CocoPalm Studios, Coco Doll line of stamps.

Linda has a wonderful blog and video blog, check out her creations HERE.

Take a Chill Pill

Here's one of my favorite stamp line from Taylored Expressions, they are the Grumplings.  TOO FUN.  They are all quirky little animals with sarcastic sayings.  Needless to say, I own them ALL.  They are too perfect.  Right now in TX, I need a chill pill, or just give me a full prescription of them because summer is going to be HOT! HOT! HOT!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Happy Birthday Cherry

Wishing my cousin Cherry a very happy birthday today!  Many blessings to you and your family.  Have a great birthday today and I hope you get everything you want and more.

This stamp is from Gerda Steiner designs.  I just love her wonderful animal stamps.  I hope you are all having a great summer now.

For You

Here's an awesome stamp from the Oddballs line at Stamping Bella. I just love these stamps.  There's something so fun about them.  I had to pick up a bunch of them.  Here's a card I made using some awesome Turkish Lace as well.

I hope your summer is off to a great start.  Take care and have a good week.  Cheers, Holley

You and Me

Here's a CAS card using a wonderful BoBunny cardstock stickers, some beautiful vellum and cardstock and topped off with some lace from Turkiye.  I hope you love it.  It's just a quick make to share today.  If you are on facebook, I am going to start selling craft supplies to clean out my craft room (at good prices), there's lots of great groups to sell in, email me htondre@aol.com if you are not in one and I can link you to it or PM me on Facebook (Holley Tondre Barnhart)

Have a wonderful week!

Cheers, Holley

Be open to change

Here's a large rectangular card, just telling you that it is large so you can understand the size of the image from Unity stamp.  I love the sentiment, it goes perfect with the image, "be open to change." but also, for people like me, who have gone through brain surgery, it definitely has a double meaning.

So, be open to change, like me, it could bring something wonderful.

Happy Birthday Dad

Happy Birthday to my father today. I hope you have some special plans and have a great Birthday.  Many blessings for your special occasion.

This card was made with a cute kit from Anna Griffin and I added some wonderful lace that I got while in Turkiye.

Happy June

Sharing some adorable calendar projects today using three unity stamps and one (the cat) from Taylored Expressions (Grumplings line).  TOO cute.  Have a great Saturday to start out May

Cheers, Holley

Passport

Here's a hilarious card from Bugaboo.  I just love their lady stamps, both the little old ladies, the cute little girls, the goth type kids and the pretty ladies.  They have a wonderful variety at their store.  This stamp just cracks me up.  I think it is telling me that I need to make a trip this summer.  But alas, I will be spending it at home.  Oh well.  I am so thankful for the amazing trip I got to make last year.  So fabulous!

Hopefully in the upcoming year I can make another trip and go back there.  I still have many things I would love to see.  Hugs all, Holley

Be-YOU-tiful

Here's an adorable stamp from CC Designs. I love their cute little girl stamps.  I colored her up with Copic Markers.  I also added a sentiment, "be YOU tiful"  I thought that was just perfect with her cute costume.  Hope you love her.

The staff has completed their workdays this week and now has off for the summer.  There's several of our employees who are leaving us this year.  I will really miss them!  Have a wonderful summer everyone!

Sweet Lil Fae

Here's a great stamp today from Sherri Baldy of My Besties shop.  This is a wonderful brand new fairy stamp, Img 1489 Sweet Lil Fae  she's in the fairy section of the shop.  I added a sweet saying to the card, "Believe in you, That's how you make your dreams come true."

Hope you are ready for a great June.  Have a wonderful end to May.  Here we have already ended school for both teachers and kids.

Condolence cards are hard to make....

One of the more difficult cards to make is Condolence cards.  I found this kit made by Anna Griffen for just such occasions.  I think the card looks clean and simple and yet elegant for the needed occasion.  I don't have a current occasion for such a card, thankfully, but when such an occasion occurs, I don't exactly feel like making a card.  I go to an elderly church, we lose about 10 members a year..

Hope you are having a great day!

Happy Memorial Day

I had to get in one more cat theme card this month for the current CAT challenge, HERE.... It's so fun to always have a great place to share your kitty theme cards.  This stamp comes from Stamps By Judith, who has since stopped making stamps. I sure did LOVE her rubber (wood mounted) images.

I added a cat theme saying, "Have a purr-fect day"  TOO fun.  I hope you are all having a PURR-fect day.  Cheers, Holley
