Mini Calendars

Here's some more of the cute little calendars that I made for both the church bazaar as well as my fellow church members.

Quick and cute gifts to share!

Here's a bunch of sweet and simple gifts that were easy to make and are perfect for handing out to friends and family.  They measure three and half inches across.  They are magnets that will stick on the fridge, office cube, cabinets, desk drawers, workshop or anywhere else you may want to put a little piece of handmade art with the current calendar.  It's a little year round piece of your work to share.  All the goodies here are using gorgeous paper from Paper Temptress.

Eye is on the Sparrow

Here's a beautiful image from I Brake for Stamp for Sunday. Isn't she just sweet? She's holding a tiny bird. The words "His eye is on the Sparrow" comes from both a well known hymn and as a reference to a bible passage where Jesus talks of God knowing and providing for all, even the birds, so why do we worry so about him taking take of us? His eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches me. You know, I find this funny to see what I wrote and know how stressful this week has been for me. Despite being prayer filled, it's also be tormenting and worry filled too. Guess sometimes I just need to listen to my own words and remember that His Eye is on the Sparrow, huh?

Beauty is art

Here's a wonderful girl stamp from I Brake for Stamps. I just love this image. I added a wonderful saying from Sweet Pea stamps "Love of beauty is taste, The creation of beauty is art. Ralph Waldo Emerson" I am amazed how quickly summer is flying by. All the kids here are getting ready for school and most will be starting in just a couple weeks now.

Sunday Angel Card

A Social Butterfly

This beautiful dancer comes from I Brake for Stamps. What a social butterfly she is. I guess I wish I was a more social person, I can be, but that is really not my personality.

I love the background stamps I used in this image too, a beautiful smaller size butterfly and a swirl, below I put links to the website so you can see what each stamp looks like originally.Stamps used (you can click each name to see the stamp individually): Ballerina, Social Butterfly(word), Swirl Flourish, small butterfly image; Next time you order from I Brake for Stamps, be sure to use my coupon to save yourself 10% off your entire order: SAVE10HOLLEY

Have an Enchanted Day!

Here's a wonderful Fairy stamp from I Brake for Stamps! This stamp comes from one of the new stamp lines that they recently started selling, Embossing Arts. I just love this beautiful Fairy. She's so dainty and gentle looking. You can find her on this page (click HERE) on their website. I used a great saying with her that comes from a sheet of stamps full of gnomes and fairies. I also used a cute paisley stamp in the background. It's hard to see on this image as it was stamped with a very light ink so it shimmers in same color as the cardstock.
