Last Day

 WOW, it's my last day.  WOW.  I will probably drop by and chat up some of the dealers that I know I would like to keep touch with before I come back next year.  Drop by my favorite restaurant and say goodbye to everyone.  Pack up and try to get some decent rest, but for some reason that never happens, I always end up going to the airport in the middle of the night Saturday morning dead tired and knowing I will be exhausted all the way to Austin.  SIGH.  Well, let's enjoy today!

Here's an awesome coffee bean shaker card using a stamp from Unity stamps and some wonderful Turkish lace on it!

Only you Dear

Here's a little MISSING YOU card for my DH.  Missing you lots dear, just a couple more weeks and I will be home.  Love you lots.  Kisses

 

I'm Yours

Here's a fun shaker card that I made for the DH this summer. It says, "I'm yours"  I hope it puts a smile on his face.  I added some sweet Turkish lace to it.  Oh, shopping for Turkish lace is so much fun. SO MUCH fun.  I look forward to it all year long. I just love looking at the row and row of beautiful lace.

Love Shaker

 Here's a little love theme shaker for the DH today. I hope he's having a blast on his trip. In the meantime I am packing up a storm and getting ready to shut down the store today.  If there's anything you need, hurry by and pick it up!

Have a great day.  Check out my lace store, I close this MORNING CST USA time for the time being, until I come back from vaction (approx Aug 3rd). Lots of pre-cut lace packages, yard cut lace packs, wonderful lace embellishments: LacePlaceByHolley - Etsy

Winter Wonderland

 Here's a great winter theme card using some lovely Turkish lace.  I adore this cute shaker card kit that i got from Paper Source last year.  This card is just perfect for any winter theme occasion, or for Christmas.  I know a lot of people love snow, but not me.

Hope you are having a nice WARM day, be it inside or outside.  Cheers, Holley

Winter Wonderland

 Here's a lovely shaker card using a kit that I got from Paper Source.  I just loved the cards that I made using it.  I added some simple embellishment stickers to finish off this card that I sent out to friends and family last christmas.

Hope you are enjoying the wintertime.  As for me, NO winter wonderland please.  Anything buy cold and snow.  I live in south Texas for a reason.  Ha!

Shaker Card

Here's a quick and cute Shaker card that I made using a kit from Paper Source.  I just loved these winter themed cards that I could use for Christmas.

 Hope you are having a great December.  I can't believe we are just 10 school days from Christmas Break.  Who knew how fast time would pass this school year?

Happy Birthday Mom

Happy Birthday Mom, here's a cute Balloon Shaker card that I created for you. I hope you have a safe and wonderful birthday.

Sharing this cute shaker card from a kit I got at Tuesday Morning. I think it was made from Firefly, but offhand I am not 100%sure.  Super cute kit set though, it made a whole set of adorable birthday themed shake cards.

Cheers, Holley

Love you to the Moon&Back

Sharing this fun Shaker card today.  It's a cityscape and I added the sentiment, "Love you to the moon & Back"   what a perfect card for those close to you.  I actually made this card from a Christmas card kit I got, but I didn't want to use them all for Christmas theme items.

WOO HOO!!  I spent a lot of time last night and the following packages were ready to go this morning:

Shelley, Gail T, Kathy, Jackie, Linda Simpson, Birgitta, Vinita (New Creations), Karin Van Ejik (2), Sandra (2), Rachel D, Paper Smiles, KellysKardsFl, Suzanne H, *Shell*, Karen, Candy and Dana M

If you are checking this posting early (i,e before say 8am Central USA Time), check again later in the day as I may end up adding more names to it before the post office closes (1pm USA Central Time).

Happy Birthday Brother!

Wishing my dear brother a very Happy Birthday today with this Shaker card!  Happy Birthday Bro! I hope you have a very special day with your family.  Huge hugs and many Blessings for you.

Merry Christmas

Sending Holiday Wishes to everyone this season!  I hope you are blessed and have a wonderful time with friends and family or if like me, just relaxing peacefully at home.  Hugs to All!!

Holiday Wishes

Here's another wonderful shaker card using some great Turkish lace to go with it. I love this cute kit, I hope they have something similar in the future.  Today all the teachers are off from school, but the teacher assistants have to do training.  "SIGH" just another day of fun.  NOT.

Glad we will finally be on break after this event today.  Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Christmas Shaker card

Here's another darling shaker card from Paper Source.  Isn't that a great kit?  I thought perhaps it was kind of expensive at 16.95, but after I made all the cards (it was a card making kit, but I used the end product to make cards) it was totally worth it.

Hope you have a wonderful week!  Here's to three more days of peace (with the kiddos) before Christmas break!

Snow Globe card

Here's a lovely shaker box card that I made and I added some gorgeous Turkish Lace to go with it.  I loved the cute kit from Paper Source.

I hope you are having a great week. It's well less than 2 weeks until Christmas break now, all the other teachers and I are on a 7 day countdown, lol!

Shaker Box Card

Sharing another cute Snow Globe card that I made from a kit by Paper Source.  One nice thing about this kit is that all 12 of the images are different.   So each card that I made is individually unique.  I appreciated that about the kit.

Hope you are having a great Tuesday. Have a wonderful Wednesday tomorrow.

Llama Love

Sharing a little Llama Love today!  Here's another project from that cute set of Snow Globe shakers  I got.  This one I actually made first, and into a snow globe instead of a card. I think these would also be cute on a wall or hanging on a tree or something.

TOO fun.  Have a great weekend everyone.  Just two more weeks until Christmas break.

Winter Snowglobe

Sharing a winter theme shaker card today using a kit that I got from Paper Source.  The kit was not for card making, but I commandeered the parts of the kit to make the snow globes and then used resulting globe to make a winter theme card.  It was an adorable little set that made 12 different globes.

Hope you are having a great first week of December. I am happy to be back and  going in school.  Just three weeks until Christmas Break.

Hugs, Holley

shaker card

Here's a sweet shaker card today in the shape of a bicycle.  I thought this could be a sweet spring time card.  I just love the gold banner on top and banner on the bottom, very elegant finish to the card.

I hope everyone is having a great day. As I had mentioned yesterday about the dental mess, I will be taking the day off today to be with a dentist to hopefully fix the tooth!  UGH.
