Puppy love

I had to sneak in a card this month using this adorable little doggie from Pink&Main.  I just love this guy.  He's super cute.  The sentiment says, "Savor the moments that are warm and special and giggly!"  How sweet is that?  I think it goes perfect with this cute little dog stamp.  I added some great Turkish lace to go with this card as well.

Had to share another coffee themed stamp, this one from Tim Holtz!  who out there is a Tim Holtz lover?  I know I have several stamp sets as prizes that are from Tim Holtz.  I do so love the coffee theme ones (oh, and those funny birds, and those hilarious cats!!).  I also added some great Turkish lace to this card to give it one last final touch!

Question of the day:  what is your least favorite color?  I mean, what colors will you probably never use? I don't want to send you prizes in that color.

Ahhh, Coffee

You know I had to get more coffee theme cards in the mix this month.  here's a fun image from Scrappy Boy stamps.  I met this vendor at the last convention I attended in Irving, Texas.  He's super nice and just AMAZING at coloring.  He taught a coloring class on just face and hair colors (PLEASE DON't look at this card as any judgement on him).  But do check out his store with his amazing samples.

Cute sentiment says Coffee makes Everything better!  How perfect is that?  I also added some wonderful turkish lace to this card

Cherish

I totally love this artist's quirky off beat stamps.  I am sure that is no surprise to my readers.  This is Bloobel stamps.  Isn't she too cute? I used a great lime green and blue polka dot card with some matching blue lace to go with it.  TOO fun.

Hello Friend

Here's the cutest little chick from Unity stamps, I am pretty sure this cutie came from one of the Kit of the month sets.  If you know which one, please leave a comment.  I totally adore it.  TOO sweet and perfect for a valentine too if you just change the sentiment added.  My sentiment says "Hello Friend"

Here's a cutie from Notturno Digi arts.  I love this artist's whimsical images.  She has the cutest girls, great animals, and fun things like skulls too.  Check out her stuff if you like (HERE).  I am using some interesting (at least I think it is) lace on this card today.

 

Question of the day: do you use wood block stamps?  sometimes never?  only if it's your absolute favorite topic?

Love you to the moon & back

Here's a valentine call out to my DH again, I am using some wonderful specialty paper and in colors other than what is typical.  I added some great black Turkish lace to go with it.  I hope he likes it.  Huge hugs and kisses dear.  This cool paper comes from Paper Source.

Question of the day: do you have a die cut machine?  what type?  

I'm afraid to fess up here, i think the count would be 6, but this is over a long period and I didn't use them all at once.

Sending you love

Here's a wonderful card from a kit that I got from Paper Source. It comes with lovely specialty papers.  I altered the sentiment (it was supposed to be a mother's day card), I added the lovely wooden embellishment and added the background.  I thought this card was a lovely sentiment card for Valentine's day without being too lovey-dovey.  It sends a clear message of heart without sap!

Question of the day:  what's your favorite embellishments?

I am sure mine are no surprise, I would have to say, lace, ribbon, buttons, wood pieces

Behave?

"I want to behave but there were too many other options."  HA!  that's what this cat is thinking.  This cute image comes from a Tim Holtz set.  I am using a ribbon from Turkiye as an embellishment.  I am in love with these cat stamps.  I have seen this design before. It was also done by a couple other companies before it came out with Tim Holtz.  Anyone know who the artist is?

Question of the day:  cat person?  dog person?  both?  neither?

I definitely like both, think I tend more towards cats. Lol I say that but look at this month and you'll see a lot of cute doggies

Caffeine Queen

I will continue on with my coffee theme stamps with this great image from artist Sandra Caldwell.  I sure do miss her.  As I am sure many of you recall she always drew me a special stamp during this month of the year and/or we had a fun contest using her stamps.  I miss her dearly.  I thought I would remember her by sharing this card using one of her darling images.

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

Let the Party Begin!

Happy Feb 1st everyone!  It's time for the celebration to get started!  WOO HOO.  I am so very thankful to be again celebrating and so happy to have you all with me!!  Be sure and comment today as I will always be coming back to the 1st to pick winners each day of the month!

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 mailing 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 USA postal system. But I am so happy you celebrate with me, and I'd love to send you goodies.

Let the celebrating begin!!
