Cutest Mermaid

Here's a darling image from Enchanted School, this adorable mermaid comes in a set with 4 other mermaids and a bunch of other cute items for just $1.58!!  How awesome is that. They are just super cute.  Drop by her store and check out her darling images and pick up a set.  She provided several wonderful prizes during my celebration month this past February.  Here's a little Thank You for her!

I am using some fun sticky lace that I found in a scrapbook store in Istanbul last time, I hope to see others or more paper/scrapbook stores this time.  I wouldn't call this Turkish lace though, I don't know where the product came from, much like the similar products you and I get in the USA, most likely from China.  Something I noticed in Turkey, in the USA it will always say "Made in China" in Turkey it will say "Made in PRC"

B is for Best

Here's a gorgeous stamp from Whoopsie Daisy.  They are sponsoring the current contest over on Outlawz.  Please drop by and check out the Monday Greetings Challenge for your chance to win a prize!  As always, be sure to include a sentiment somewhere on the front of your card.

I am using a bunch of different shades of green on this card today along with some gorgeous lace that I got in Istanbul.  Wishing all of you a wonderful week.

Happy Birthday Mom

Happy Birthday Mom, I hope you have a special day.

Here's a card I created using a LOTV stamp that I thought would be perfect for a birthday card. I am also using a cute die cut that I think came with a magazine that I got, if not (and you know where it came from), please let me know.

Guest Designer Karin

Here's a fabulous card created by Karin, using her prize from Paper Nest Dolls, a wonderful Christmas theme image that she chose.  I also love that she used this adorable die cutter, which is one that she won from me last year. Doesn't it  go perfectly with her image?

Franny Freckles

Here's the cutest new stamp from artist Sandra Caldwell.  She is releasing several brand new stamps in her Etsy store, Babycakes DND today.  This cutie is called 2208 Franny Freckles.

I added some great lace that I got in Istanbul and a sweet saying "Live everyday like it's your birthday."  I hope you all had a wonderful week.  Many blessings for the weekend!

Sorry that is it so very late, but I had three packages that never made it to their desitinations, either incorrect addresses or turned up missing...they are in the mail today:  Birgitta, Glennis, Peggie

Lucy Loo, Traveler

Here's an awesome image from The East Wind. I just love her Lucy Loo images.  I added some stunning Turkish Lace to this card along with some large buttons.  I thought they were just perfect together.  I love the travel theme of this card since I will get to go traveling this summer time

I hope you all have wonderful summer plans too even if it is just rest and relaxation!  That's always what I like to do, but I am so looking forward to this upcoming break.  Just 35 days left of school now.

Good Morning?

LOL!  This card is totally hilarious. I just love this set of images and sayings by Taylored Expressions, they are called Grumplings.  TOO funny.  I have a bunch of different sets with a ton of adorable sassy sentiments and funny little animals.

Funny enough I am actually more of a morning person than a night owl.  But still, this card makes me giggle.

Limited Runs Digi Stamps

Here's a beautiful image from Limited Runs Digi Stamps.  They were one of the awesome prize sponsors during my February celebration.  I got this beautiful image from them.  I have also been seeing some more prize cards creations, I have a several wonderful things to share with you now, both from people's blogs as well as cards they have sent me!

Cheers, Holley

Mini Calendars

Here's some more of the sweet calendars that I made for fellow church members and school co-workers.  I love the "This is best day ever" because that is what EVERY day should be.  I think the same thing about "Always let the sunshine in", something you should do everyday.  And of course, you know how I feel about skulls, lol!!

Working Out

Here's a hilarious card using The Grumplings image from Taylored Expressions. I totally love their attitude.  This one made me bust out laughing.  So TRUE.  As some of you may recall I just started walking again so I could do the Captial 10k (I am walking it, not running).  In US miles, that's about 6.2 miles, so it has taken a little while to work up to that distance.  I am also working on dropping some weight before I go on vacation this summer.  I REALLY need to do that.

But as the stamp says, "Cardio is Hardio" TOTALLY! Wish me luck for a good walking time on the Capital 10k this weekend, it's on April 8th.

Loves me, Loves me not

Here's a wonderful combination of papers from Paper Temptress with an image from Sasayaki Glitter.  This image is found in their facebook group and is the current image used in the Progressive challenge.  She looks like she going to pull the petals to "Loves me, Loves me not."   The papers used come in the Spring Premium Package from Paper Temptress

Be sure and check out the wonderful Spring Premium Package, the current special should allow this package to ship for free.  The papers I am using are Cryogen white to print my image on;  Gorgeous Gold Mica/Metallic as a base of my image, as well as the Love you die cut; and beautiful orange called Mango Sorbet.

I love this

I thought this cute Whipper Snapper girl was just perfect for a spring day.  I added some wonderful lace that I got in Turkiye that is filled with gorgeous flowers!  I hope you love it.

I can't believe we are almost to Easter already.  My DH bought my ticket for my vacation this week.  What a wonderful gift he gave me.  I love that man!!  It's so real now that I am going. I just can't wait.

I love you more!

Here's a fun stamp from Dilly Beans. As I am sure you would guess, I just love this image.  I added a sweet and simple sentiment, "I love you more" down the side as well as some green embellishment.  Isn't she great?

We're already in a new week, I can't believe there's just 8 more weeks of school this year and summer will be here.  I am sure like the teachers, the kiddos are counting down the days as well.  Hugs all!

Today is Perfect

Here's a couple of fun stamps from Eureka stamps that I used to create this CAS card for the current challenge on outlawz. The theme is Just Because.  I am using Girl Balloon Holder and Elephant Balloon.  The Monday Greetings challenge requires that you add a sentiment somewhere on the front of you card, so don't forget.  Please come on over and join in the fun!

Hope you have a great week.  All the kiddos here in elementary school in Texas are preparing for the annual state testing. It's very stressful time.  Poor kids.

Happy April!

Can you believe it's April?  I can't here's a wonderful card using a stamp from Sasayaki Glitter called Peggy and Puppy.  We are having a great contest this month on the Your Scrapbook Place Challenge blog, it's for any cards, scrapbook pages, or handmade craft creations using any stamps, images, or handmade items!  The theme this month is anything goes and you will get an extra entry if you us our sponsor's images.

Here's some more of the cute little calendars that I made this year. I thought this little group of them was perfect to share this Easter weekend.  I am not 100% sure who made the angel stamps, I think one of them is TAC, if you  know, please tell me.

Happy Day

Here's a beautiful Bestie image from Sherri Baldy today. She's img 827.  I just love how pretty she is and how cute her hair looks.  I colored her up in yellow and red to match her perfectly to this card.  I am using some wonderful chipboard accents from MAMBI and gorgeous Turkish lace.

Easter Card

I thought this little girl was just too cute in her bunny costume for a funny easter theme card. I added the sentiment "Living the dream" to go with her.  TOO cute. I hope everyone has lovely plans in place for the holiday.  I will be at my church on that day.

Have a beautiful week everyone!

Mini Calendars

Sharing more of the tiny magnet calendars that I created this year for fellow staff member and church members.  I think the little girl images come from Your Next stamp and I know the bear image is LOTV.
