Elvis

Here's a hilarious card from Stamping Bella, using an Oddball, which is probably my favorite line of their stamps.  I had to use Elvis' famous line, "Thank you, Thank you very much!" to close out the month. Isn't he just adorable?  I am using some great Turkish lace in Blue along with some adorable embellishments that I got in Turkey as well.

Enjoy Life

Here's the sweetest image from Unity stamps today. I hope this bunny gives all of you some nice warm fuzzy feelings.  Makes you wanna cuddle?  perhaps.  My family used to let the bunny loose in the house, until he chewed up all the wiring on the TV and everything.  lol.  Sheesh.  (Um, what do you think a bunny will do?)  lucky the bunny didn't get hurt.

QUESTION OF THE DAY:

any other craft hobbies you like?  just in case I have items from them....you never know lol

Doctor Thanks

I made this Doctor Bear card using a great image from Sandra Caldwell as a thank you card for Dr Aboumatar and his staff.  I am so very thankful for that man's work along with the neurosurgeon who did the operation.  What a blessing I received.  WOW.

QUESTION OF THE DAY:   as my list is close to being finalized, are there things I haven't asked about that you don't want in your package?  Things you do?   I know it seems odd to ask, but I hate sending goodies that people don't use.  Of course, you are free to regift them or donate them elsewhere but i'd rather send you something you do want.   For me, I don't ever seem to use washi tatpes, alphabets, large background stamps, or rub-ons.

Enjoy some coffee

Here's a gorgeous image from Limited Runs including some stunning lace from Turkiye.  Did you all see the announcement in winter?  Tukiye has formally changed their name, they are to no longer be referred to as "Turkey."  I know I have talked about that on my blog before, but I usually refer to them in the proper, Turkiye.  Just a little fun fact for the day.  

This stamp is called Cuppa Love and you can find it on Limited Runs page HERE.  There's a whole page of stamps perfect for making cards for the contest over on YSBP.

Also, I have had a couple of people in their questions ask me what I use to attach the lace to my cards. Since I have been doing it for years, I have tested basically everything so what I will say is absolute best is Aleene's Clear Gel TACKY Glue. Make sure you get the clear gel. Aleene's also had a regular tacky glue, you don't want that.  I buy the clear gel in pen form (glue in a thick pen shape dispenser rather than a bottle dispenser), it comes in a one  or two pack. Works like a charm. Here's a pic https://www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Basic-Crafts/Glues-Adhesives/Aleenes-Gel-Tacky-Glue-Pens/p/57136?gclid=CjwKCAiAx8KQBhAGEiwAD3EiP_hbm4y5PUpsZWb4_2QSusZuFawRdmaxvQ4bOQGJ9jibhGWq9hVZJxoCMLgQAvD_BwE


QUESTION OF THE DAY:

do you ever use DIGI Stamps?  I don't really have a lot of digi stamps this year, but your never know what comes up in the prize pack

Happiness Blooms

 Sharing this adorable Bear stamp from Hetty Clare today.  Don't you love him?  I think he's just perfect for February.  I added a sentiment from the Paper Loft, "Happiness blooms from within."  I added some gorgeous Turkish lace to go on the card.  This piece I bought as a remnant, I couldn't ever find it as a whole package, I totally wish I had gotten more of it.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you use die/stamp combos?  i.e. those stamp and die sets where you stamp the image and then line up the die to cut out the stamped image?  (eliminating fussy cutting).

see the current winner list HERE

Stressed, Blessed, Coffee Obsessed

Here's another fun coffee theme card using a stamp from Lili of the Valley.  I added some great Turkish lace to it in orange. I think the orange and the purple go well together with the yellow shirt i colored on the girl.

QUESTION OF THE DAY:  do you use wood mounted stamps?  do you use stencils? how about brass stencils?

Coffee Time

Here's another cutie from Stamping Bella in RED.  I also had to use some great Turkish Lace and wonderful tiny polka dot buttons to go with her.  Like me, she looks like she is just waking up.  Funny thing, I will be in Turkiye, drink a Turkish coffee then promptly goto bed.  Always shocks my hostess.  She's like WHAT?  (For those of you who haven't had Turkish coffee before think a small espresso with a huge wallop of caffeine).   Don't forget about our coffee contest over on the YSBP Challenge blog HERE



QUESTION OF THE DAY:  do you like background stamps?

Sweet coffee

Here's a super sweet Sherri Baldy card using a Bestie with coffee from her MyBestiesShop.com site where you can find the cutest stamps and other crafting items.  I thought this image was perfect with the stunning red lace on the left.  YUMMY.   Be sure to be playing along with the coffee blog hop on YSBP Challenge Blog this month.

QUESTION OF THE DAY:

what is your least favorite color?  I mean, that color if your prize is in that color...you're probably not going to use it...

for me, I don't really have any colors I don't use, but I tend to shy away from purples, aqua, primary color greens

It comes with the great sentiment included.  I added the perfect specialty sticker with it and some GORGEOUS Turkish lace.  (I would count this card for the contest even though the tea/coffee is a sticker and not a stamp so drop by the YSBP Challenge with creations like this one).  It says, "I NEED S'more friends LIKE YOU."  Awe, you guys are the best!

Thanks Doctor!

One of the most important things this month of course is to say a HUGE Thank You to my favorite Doctor, Dr Sami Aboumatar of Austin Epilepsy.  He's the doctor, (epileptologist), who first told me he would "fix" my seizures and then actually did.  I can't tell you how many doctors told me they would help me before.  He's a brilliant Doctor and a wonderful man.  What amazing work he does.  I will never cease to be thankful to him and his staff.

QUESTION OF THE DAY:

Do you make handmade Christmas cards?  I realize I have many good friends who aren't Christian, so it's helpful to know if you make them or not.  I also know several people don't care to make Christmas theme cards for whatever reason.  

For me, it's just overwhelming and after doing handmade Christmas cards for the family and promptly seeing them thrown in the trash, I started giving them store bought Christmas card again.  At any rate?  Christmas?  yay or neigh

Some Bunny Loves You

Together is the place to be

Here's an adorable image from Lili of the Valley.  One of my favorite characters from that company, I just love these cute dogs.  I added a sweet sentiment, "Together is the best place to be."  I rarely talk about the DH on here, but he's the best!  he was great through my brain surgery, and we have been together for hmmm, wow, 24 years!  I can't imagine life without him.

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.


today's QUESTION OF THE DAY:

since I am sharing the cutest DOG stamp--do you like dog stamps?  what about cats?  both?  neither?

The February Celebration Begins!

Well, I can't believe February is already here!  WOW.  It's year 12!!! another big WOW.  Every year we go past the odds get a little smaller and smaller that the seizures will ever come back.  I am so very blessed and my way of sharing my immense blessings with all of you, those of you who were there with me from day one when I was in testing for surgery, during surgery all the way to now, celebrating the success of being post-surgery is to GIVE AWAY tons of craft supplies!

WOO HOO!

I have tons of supplies to give away. I shared just a TINY amount of the goodies in January because it's very tedious to pull them out and take photos of everything, so thanks for understanding that I don't share pics of everything. But I have TONS of prizes for everyone.  The way to get prizes is to LEAVE A COMMENT each day, I will pick winners (and many people will win more than once, so leave a comment everyday!!)

After today I will start a prize winner list that will be updated daily.  Once you see your name on it, please email me your addy. (htondre@aol.com) I know many of you win year after year. I don't keep your address; I purge all that info so that I am not responsible for keeping it.  So please send it to me again.  

I will draw prizes from the Feb 1st listing daily, so if you are late to the contest, even very late, it's always smart to come back and sign up on the Feb 1st!

Many people will win more than one and lots of people get bigger prizes at the end of the month, so ALL prizes will get mailed at the beginning of MARCH.  I am pretty quick in mailing.  I usually get out all the packages in a week, two weeks tops.

Any questions?  ping me htondre@aol.com

Also--if you ever have problems leaving a comment, just let me know htondre@aol.com, I'm always happy to ensure your comment is included so that you are in that day's drawing.  Usually, each day's drawing will happen a few days following when the post happens.  

TO MY OVERSEAS FRIENDS:

Yes, I am happy to send you prizes.  US postage is prohibitive for anything that is not flat, so I send stamps that are flat or stamp sets and dies.  My apologies that I can't send more!!  I love you guys, it's cheaper to send multiple cards with goodies inside than a package with multiple goodies.  I can't explain the us postal system. But I am so happy you celebrate with me, and I'd love to send you goodies.

Let the celebrating begin!!
