Happy Valentines Day.

Happy Valentines Babe!  Love you so very much.  You are my happiness and you always will be. I hope we get to have a nice quiet time at home like always because just being with you makes me happy.  Here's the card I made for my hubby for valentines!

Question of the day  What adhesives do you use?
For paper?  for lace/ribbon?  for wood embellishments like the "bliss" word above?

I often use plain old white glue (not the school glue, the craft glue);  for lace there is some made by Hobby Lobby for ribbon, but I wonder what others use.  Wood is very tricky to me. what does everyone else us?

Have you seen the winner list?  It's being updated daily now, CHECK HERE!
Also, if you didn't comment on Feb 1st, be sure and go back to that day to comment, prizes are still be drawn from Feb 1st and grand prizes will get drawn from there.

p.s. if you were early to rise yesterday when you posted to my blog contest, the artist was so inspired by the comments, esp one of them, she drew up a new image and Miss Rach just posted a freebie on her Blog,!  Go over and get the adorable turtle she is sharing and be sure to thank her for the freebie!!

It's almost time.... (Celebration info)

Tomorrow starts the celebration, are you all as ready as me?!? Here's a fun card today using an awesome image from artist Rick St Dennis. She is called Batty Bettina. There's a new challenge starting tomorrow morning at Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge blog and it's called "Love is in the Air".  The challenge is to include something with wings on it, be it in your image or your embellishments.  I can't wait to see what you all make and share for that challenge.

Now on to the Blog Candy Celebration starting up tomorrow, are you ready? Here's a little info:


If you are outside the USA, I do have to limit what I can send, I can send flat items like stamps or die cuts. I can send you digi gift certificates to stores.  If you don't have a die cut machine or printer, please let me know.

Those in the USA I can send packages to, nowadays the post office charges the same for 2oz or 8oz, so that's good for you!  Most prize packs are things like a stamp set plus 6 pack of embellishments or multiple stamp sets. 

NOW, most days I seem to ask some general question-- about all those questions I ask everyday, I may seem to be babbling, but I am actually asking them for a reason, it's a little get to know you so I can see what people like (and don't like) as well as know what they have (or don't, for example, you don't stamp or you don't have a die cut machine);  I do pay attention to what people say and try to pick their prize packs  accordingly!  so, it's very much to your advantage to answer the questions.  I don't always have that one thing you may really want, but you never know.  You might just LOVE shoe stamps and I happen to have a whole bunch of them.

I expect that several people will win more than once and that many people who already won will win grand prize items, so I always wait until the end of Feb to mail things out. I think if you have played in past years you know that I am pretty speedy at getting out the number of packages that I have to.  I am usually done in 2 weeks and I mail out 50-100 packages.  Each day in March I will be listing the names of whose packages have gone into the mail that day.

Thanks so much for joining in my celebration with me. I am so very thankful to be here and so very thankful to still be seizure free and still have my health. Thanks to all the crafters out there, old and new who have been so very helpful both during my procedure and since.

Cheers, Holley

Nancy Nurse

Here's an awesome image from artist Rick St Dennis.  Don't you love this nurse?  Well, maybe the nurse, but not the syringe in her hand, lol!  I think if this lady gave more men shots they wouldn't resist!  Now, if only we had some male pin-up nurses!  This great image is called Nancy Nurse.

This card was done for the Monday Greetings Challenge over at Outlawz.  The theme is anything goes and all you need to do is make sure your card has a greeting on the front!  We can't wait to see what you share with us.

Can't take my eye's off of you

Here's a wonderful image today from artist Rick St Dennis.  This beautiful image is Columbine.  Isn't she stunning.  The theme this week is to add music to your card, so I added some music scales(CC Designs) as well as some lyrics, "Can't take my eyes off of you."  She sure looks like she would be an eye catcher.

Drop by the Monday Greetings Challenge over at Outlawz and share your music inspired card with us, be sure to include a greeting on the front!  We can't wait to see what you create.

Can you believe it's Dec 14th?  Happy Birthday to all my birthday buddies out there--it's out day!

It's party time!

Here's an awesome image from artist Rick St Dennis. This beautiful maiden is called BeWitching.  Isn't she wonderful? I thought she would be just perfect for Halloween  I made this card for the Monday Outlawz Greetings challenge.  I added a fun skeleton holding the sentiment Happy Halloween and also added an additional sentiment, "it's party time."  She definitely looks ready.

The challenge is to include brads or flowers, so I am using skull brads.  Also, let me point out, did you notice that the paper has brains printed on it?  check the center of the squares!  They are brains.  How cool is that?!

Join in the Outlawz Challenge this week and you could win a prize from Rick St Dennis, I can't wait to see everyone's creations, the topic is wide open, just include brads or flowers and of course, a sentiment.

Dia De Los Muertos

Here's an amazing coloring page from artist Rick St Dennis book Day of the Dead.  How stunning is this?  I am just blown away by his amazing drawings, esp his Dia De Los Muertos, skulls, beautiful ladies, and fun horror theme.  This card measure 8.5" square, though of course, it's not a true square, as the width is actually extended due to the die cuts on the side.

I colored up the entire image in W2-W8 and R81-R89;  The Challenge over at the Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge is to use pink. I thought this image was just perfect for that. I added a sentiment at the bottom, "For love is immortality -Emily Dickenson"

Drop by the Challenge and share your pink card and as always, be sure and include a greeting somewhere, it can be a cardstock sticker, as mine is, a stamped image, a computer generated print or even a hand written message.  We can't wait to see what you create.

I totally recommend this fun book from Rick St Dennis, I love the images!
