Merry Christmas Y'all

Here's one version of the Christmas cards that I made to send out to friends and family.  I also had some that were similar but they said "Merry Texmas"  How fun is that?  I got a couple more stamps from that same company (who is now closed) to make cards for next year.

Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas this year.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

I'm so excited to announce that I added a store to Etsy to sell Turkish Lace it's HERE:

Kid's Birthday card

It's time for the Monday Outlawz Challenge sponsored by Eureka stamps.  These images are just TOO TOO cute.  I am using two wonderful stamps from their collection, one is called Elephant Balloon and the other cutie is Flying girl holder.  The awesome thing is there are so many other cute balloons that you could use with this cute girl stamp.  The theme of this week's challenge is Kid's Birthday. I thought this card would be just perfect for giving a kid.

Check out the wonderful contest over at Outlawz for the Monday greeting challenge this week.  Then create a fun Kid's Birthday card and join in the fun!  You could win an awesome prize from Eureka stamps this week.

Cheers, Holley

Sunday Card

Well, I usually make this morning the time for my Sunday Angel card, but I found this stamp in my drawers and this is the perfect Sunday for using it. I hope it's large enough that you can read the card.

"What is a Christian? It's like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, brings you in and washes all the dirt off you may have gotten from the other pumpkins. Then He cuts the top off and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc., then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see!" So, Let your light shine on!

I have posted the new "Vote for Card of the week" Poll. It is in the right hand column. Please take a moment and pick your favorite card from last week!

Project Materials: Stamp (Eureka Stamps; pumpkin-unknown); Cardstock (unknown); Pumpkin cutouts (DCWV); Ink (Memento, Colorbox Chalk);
