Faery Ink girl

 Are you having a great weekend?  I am.  I am on the last month of sales of the current laces that I have.  I am not sure how much new lace I will get. LOL, I say that, but I know when I get there it will be a crazy amount, ha ha.  I just LOVE it.  I can't wait to check out the stores. I hope new designs have come out this year. I am looking forward to that.

Check out my wonderful Etsy store.   I sell precut lace in wonderful packs so you get 20 or 40 pieces all different in a wide array of colors, beautiful embellishments, or Lace Menagerie which is 6 yard assortments!  You can find the store here: https://laceplacebyholley.etsy.com

Thanks Merve!

Here's a thank you card for my hostess for the past trip. It was my pleasure to use AirBNB to stay at her house and I highly recommend her for women who are traveling alone or as a couple.  It's a great location near the train and quick ride to Sultanhamet.  She was a wonderful hostess.  If interested, just check my recommendations on AirBNB or email me for info

Hope you have a great day, it's going to be a super long flight home tomorrow.  sigh.

Time for a snail ride

Sharing a lovely image from Faery ink today.  I added some great lace that I got in Turkey.  I love it when I find some unusual color like lime green.  I mean, really?  who would think to make such beautiful lace in that color, but here it is!

This card gave me a little chuckle because I am sending out a lot of SNAIL MAIL right now....ha!

Ok the following packages went out Wednesday night: Karin(3), Lora, Gail, Jackie, Subhashani, Sandra (2), Marjeta, yvonne, Cebelica, Tina, Valerija, christine T, Claudia

Several of you above have more than one item coming so keep your eye on future lists!

Hug my heart

Here's a sweet love theme card from Faery Ink.  They have lots of fun stamps and plenty of loving stamps like this one.  There's a wonderful facebook group with a number of wonderful freebies if you would like to try out their images first.

Huge heart hugs to all of you today.  I guess that's the only kind of hugs we can give out currently in this covid 19 world.  Cheers, Holley

Shine Bright Teachers

Here's an awesome card today for all those Teachers who are starting up this week. Ready to make their new classrooms all spiffy and shiny for their kids.  Best wishes teachers for your new kiddos. I hope you have a wonderful school year!  School here starts on Sep 8, but today is when the teachers get going to prep.

Hope you are also getting ready for school in your area.  Have a great school year!

Butterfly cat?

Here's the cutest butterfly cat!  Isn't this image just darling?  I got this cutie from Faery Ink.  She has a whole myriad of wonderful images everything from cute animals like this to adorable fairy girls.  Check out her wonderful Facebook group HERE and goto PHOTOs where you will find a folder will with some amazing freebies that are to die for!

She has a great shop on Etsy HERE.  I just love cute cat stamps lately too, they are darling, there's a great monthly cat contest HERE.

Fairy Llama? what?

I thought since we were sharing Llamas, I would have another one today.  Here's a hilarious image of a wonderful llama with butterfly wings.  How cool is this?  It comes from Faery ink.  Check out their Etsy site for their images and they have a great Facebook site with some wonderful freebies.

I added some great lace from Turkiye to the base of this card along with some fun buttons that match the coloring on the llama wings.  I added a funny saying from Cat's Pajamas Stamps.  Hope it brought a little smile to your face today.

Halloween is a Real Treat

Here's a darling card using an image from Faery ink.  She's just perfect for lots of occasions, but here I used her on a Halloween card because I just adored her cute costume.  I added her to a spider pattern paper with a cute Spider cardstock sticker and some great brads to go with it.

I hope you love this cute image, check out Faery Ink sometime, they have a fun facebook group and great store with cute little girl images.

Boo!

Here's the cutest little witch stamp from Faery Inks.  Isn't she the sweetest?  I used some great bat theme border to glue her to the printed paper.  I adore that cute skull on her hat.  Been loving this Halloween season picking up all kinds of fun stamps!

Hope you are having a great season too.

Dr Who

I thought this fun image from Faery Ink with a Doctor Who theme would be perfect for today since I will be spending a whopping SEVEN AND A HALF hours, yep, 7.5 hours in the London airport. Woah, I am sure that airport is fascinating, but not many things are 7.5 hours of fascinating.

In fairness, You will really only have like 6 hours or so to kill as you know they will take 45+ min off on each side boarding and deplaning.

I love Chemistry!

With school coming back (I guess not that long for the teachers, as they will be starting at least two weeks before the kids), I thought this cute image from Faery Ink would be perfect.  I added a fun sentiment "Try my Love Potion."  Wouldn't she be a great teacher?

I hope all is going well for everyone and those of you who are enjoying your summer off will make the best of these last couple of weeks!  Have a great time and refresh yourself before the next school year comes.

Cheers, Holley

Happy Birthday Cherry

Wishing a Happy Birthday to my cousin Cherry today!  Hope she has a very Special Day!

Sweet & Sassy

Here's a fun image from Faery Ink combined with gorgeous papers from Paper Temptress today.  I wanted to use some fun pinks and these cute little roses that I picked up while in Turkiye.  They sure have a lot of different kinds of bling there.

The base of the card is some delicious pink cardstock in a called Pop Tones Razzleberry.  I layered the image on some wonderful Hambly Screenprint called Whimsical, it's a great shimmery brown with pink highlights and in person is just perfect!  I printed out my image using Neenah Solar white classic crest paper.  Finally I added an extra die cut using some Pop Tones Bubblegum pink paper.

Follow Your Dream

Here's a sweet little image from Fairy Ink.  I am working on choosing a little bit of colors that I don't use as often.  Green is one of those.  Now I just need to start including purples and blues in with the mix.

Less than 2 weeks from my trip now! I can't wait.  Everyone tell me where's the last place you went on vacation?  I can't wait to hear

Hello!

Here's a lovely card today using beautiful papers from Paper Temptress and a gorgeous freebie stamp from Faery Ink digi stamps.  This artist's images are so very adorable and go perfect with the papers chosen.

The base cardstock is a wonderful bright pink called Watermelon Sorbet.  The lace printed sheet is from Hambly Studios. It's one of their screen prints and it's called Old Lace.  I cut out a lovely Hello sentiment using some beautiful shimmery white cardstock called Vintage Silver Lustre.  The image was printed out on Neenah Solar White Classic Crest paper and colored with copic markers.

Only three days from blog candy now!! Are you ready?!?  I am ready to celebrate.  Every year away from surgery and seizure free is a huge celebration.  It truly betters my odds that life will remain seizure free.  check out some blog candy photos HERE.
