Baby Elephant Kisses

Here's a great image from Lizzy Love!  I adore her images and if you add a skull, then you know I am in heaven!  TOO CUTE! Then she tops it off by adding a miniature baby elephant?  OMG Can you get any cuter? I don't think so.  How adorable is this image?  I love it.  I had to grab this image as soon as I saw it!

Have you ever checked out the Oddball Art Stamps blog?  It has a monthly challenge, inspirational posts, and a link to their store.  Check it out!!  Today's prize will be a digi from Oddball Art!!

Been so very fun this month, I have really enjoyed getting to know all of you! I hope you have had fun as well. It will take a day or maybe two to get the finalized prize winners posted and then I will start the task of wrapping everything up to get it to the post office.  Once things start going to the post office, each day I will list the names of whose packages got mailed.  I do appreciate hearing back from people when they receive their items.  I would also LOVE to see what you guys make and if you want me to share it on my blog, i'd love to do so.

Last question of the day: Any other goodies or things we didn't mention this month?  anything special you are looking for, lol, you never know WHAT I might have in this crafting pile, lol!!

So what's next?

Here's what's coming, the next day to two will result in the finishing of the prizes for the days that haven't been posted, so keep your eyes out on the prize list!!  THEN there will be a Grand prize list filled with some great goodies to!  That should be in three or so days!!  By next weekend the mailings should start.  I am already working on the digi prizes.

Winners that I haven't heard from are: 
Sandi, Skrappindiva, Alice Joos, Denise P, bee, stampingwithpeggie, Jennifer Kray, TheCraft Princess, Consuella Jackson, Vickie Kertz, Shabneez, Cindy Van Oorschot, Anita, Mel C  email me htondre@aol.com

Cute, I like how you did blue hair. I never seem to think out of the box like that. I don't know how you are finding time to make all of these cards and have a job too.

Shelley said...

Love the skull embellishments and the bones in her hair! Lizzie Love is an awesome artist and if she did some non cute steampunk I would be sooo tempted. Can't resist the oddness of steampunk! I just don't have a printer good enough for digis. Sigh. Congratulations on another year without seizures! The celebration was fun.

New Creations said...

Your card is just so much fun, Holley. I love Oddball art images too! This was a lot of fun again this year, and thank you for all the enormous amount of work that went into it and for all the prizes you planned so that everyone could have fun. So happy that you have had another year of good health and here's to many, many more. Hugs, Jean

Awesome card! Love those skulls. They have neat images. I cant think of anything else really, butterflies, backgrounds, clocks, steam punk, mixed media related. Stencils and metal pieces. But I think I already mentioned all that lol. I cant believe its the last day!! It always goes by way too fast. I look forward to celebrating every year with you. Its sad it has to come to an end. Congratulations on another wonderful year with no seizures. Thank you for the fun, the giveaways, the work you put in this and especially the hope you give us all. Thank you to your sponsors and everyone who chipped in too. You are an ✨✨ inspiration ✨✨Holley!! Heres to many more years of celebrations and good health! Hugs 🐾🐾💞

Cute card! What a wonderful way to celebrate your continued health. I’ve enjoyed all of the new ideas. You shown combinations and colors that I never would have thought of. I think you covered just about everything. Thank you to you for doing this and your sponsors for providing some prizes.

Em Louise Fairley said...

Gorgeous card, Holley. I'm not generally a fan of Oddball Art, but this is cute. As for anything else, I can't think of anything right now, but MUST thank you, again, for being so generous. You ROCK! xoxo

DJ said...

Pat said...

Lizzie Love adds that twisted cuteness to her images that I love. Your card is BEAUTIFUL and represents your style perfectly.
I've had so much fun this month, but also have renewed my appreciation with life. Nothing, not one day, not one moment, should be taken for granted. I'm so happy our paths have crossed. You have been an inspiration to me both in my artistic endeavors and my outlook on life. Thank you!
Oh, and Holley, you know me, I appreciate anything crafty, I like skulls as much as you do, and lace is a luxury I appreciate as well.

sammi said...

I love the image! The skully buttons are the perfect touch!

It has been a spectacular month, and it's been fun learning more about you too. The thing I've been wishing for is a swing card die. I just can't seem to figure them out on my own.

Cute and sweet Holley. A lovely card!

Congratulations to ALL your winners! Health is wealth so already I too won 10 years ago by surviving a 3 week comma and two brain stem aneurysms! Now Stamping is still my secret to survival. Bless you all. If anyone ever wants to swap 1-4-1 I am so game, wjkuchta@shaw.ca XO Wendy

barbara macaskill said...

I love this image! It is so cute with a little creepy factor added in! I love how you embellished the card with more skulls too! Thank you again for the fun and inspirational month of celebration!

Audrey R said...

Hi Holley- congratulations again! It's been a fun month! You are so thoughtful, too, trying to match everyone up with their prizes. I am looking for a few things: stamps, papers, embellishments to make cards for bridge friends, anything to go with eyeglass diecuts, a congratulations on your engagement stamp, a larger Celebrate stamp .... I always love your prizes!!!! Audrey R in Austin

What a great month of projects and inspiration. I have enjoyed them all. Congrats on another successful year.

Cute image with the girl sitting on the skull, just right up your alley. I would like anything with an Easter theme. I saw a cute filigree bunny rabbit die in your staff that I liked. Lover using dies in my cardmaking.

StampNK said...

Thank you so much for a fabulous month to celebrate your 8 seizure free years. You have inspired us with all of your adorable cards and have been so generous with the prizes. As for my wish list, I am always happy to add dies to my stash, especially nested dies that can be used in different ways. There were two Spellbinder dies that I saw in your prize pile, one with lacy circle shapes and one with lacy squares. I also love masculine stamps because they are sometimes hard to find. Cute animals, like dogs and cats, or realistic animals are also fun. Whatever you send Nolley, they will be well loved and used!

I'm glad I could take part in this month's celebration for you and I hope your good health continues for years and years and years!! You really are an inspiration to so many!!

Mel C said...

Such a fun and cute card, thanks for letting us celebrate with you! I see my name above but sent my info on the 1st, hugs!

Rhonda Miller said...

Your card is fabulous. I love the embellishments. Dies and embellishments are always fun.

Anita said...

What a fun card and will have to check the company out.

Jennifer Dillon said...

The card is spooktackulous love the image. The only thing I need is lace and embellishments.

SHartl said...

Lol, that teeny elephant is such a fun addition to this image. Glad you mentioned it though, because all I saw at first was the skull and fun red glasses! Thank you for such a great month of giveaways and great card inspiration. You are such a sweetie, and have an amazing outlook on life. I always love cute critter stamps, and I would love animal dies if you have any. My stash is still pretty small so I would always welcome stamps or dies that can be used for guys too. I saw a Nestabilitie set of Octogons that would be awesome to use, and a whole bunch of zoo and farm animal dies that you showed in January. I can't believe you have been able to post every day and even work full time. You are a wonder woman!!

Karenladd said...

I always love your unique and quirky card designs, and that little elephant is such a cute addition, oh my! Your 8 year celebration rocked, and I am so happy that you continue to have good health. Still can't believe how many fabulous prizes you have to give and I've been swooning over all the stamps and dies. I love vintage designs and spotted several sewing themed die sets in your posts that would be fun. Also love animal stamps and dies, travel or masculine designs, and anything by Spellbinders! Whatever I win will be appreciated...and you're going to make a whole lot of crafters happy!

Skulls are Holley are back again, great card and image and of course the skulls look great. Hugs Jennifer xx

ionabunny said...

Wow, last day. Didn't that whizz by. This image is a blast. What a fun idea to have her sitting on that skull. Thanks for the fun month Holley. Anything bunny is good for me. Or just anything. Hugz

DonnaMundinger said...

Fikreta said...

hugs

Karenladd said...

I had to enlarge that card to spy the tiny elephant and it's a cutie all right! Thank you for a spectacular month of celebration and congrats to you on continuing good health. You are an inspiration in so many ways and it's been a ball seeing all of your cards. I always love vintage and masculine stamps or dies, and animals are also a favorite. I am mainly a card maker so love dies that can be layered and embellishments that are not too bulky. Thank you so much, and have a craft-filled March!

Laurian said...

What a great card to finish your special month with Holley! Can't believe how tiny that nellie is!
You have produced some fabulous projects to inspire us with during this month and I hope everyone that called by has added to your special month!
Congratulations on another year of good health! xxx
