Here are some more wonderful Christmas theme cards that Karin made using a Christmas theme set that she won during my one million blog hit contest.  Her prize was a Christmas theme set which included the fun sentiment used on these cards.  Check out her awesome blog HERE

Dear Santa

 Here's a hilarious stamp and sentiment from Tim Holtz. I just love the snarky cat stamps.  There's two different sets of winter theme ones, a set of Halloween theme, one set of just snarky cats, plus this artist has also made stamps for a number of other companies.  TOO funny though are the sentiments included with the Tim Holtz stamps.  I also added some great Turkish lace, both at the bottom and some that I trimmed  up on the top.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Coffee

 Sharing this super cute coffee theme card using a wonderful stamp set from InLoveArtShop.com called Coffee Love Fanatic.  These adorable coffee cups are actually individual stamps, so you don't have to use theme in a line like I did (and like they appear in the image on the stamp set sheet), you can place them however you would like on your card individually.  I  thought they were super cute like this though.

Hope you have a wonderful coffee filled day.  Drop by InLoveArtShop.com and check out their cute stamps and dies.  Don't forget the 15% savings with the code G-27160

May your Christmas be...

Here's a cute little stamp from Simon Says Stamp.  It was a freebie set given with a purchase around the holiday time. I thought it was really cute so I had to hurry and make a little card to share for this season.  I hope you like it.

May your Christmas be nutty& bright.  Huge hugs today

Baby it's cold outside

Here'sa fun winter theme image from La Petite Market today. I love their beautiful stamps.  This one is a wooly mammoth.  TOO cute!  One of the cute mugs says Baby it's Cold Outside.  For Texas that means just about anything less than say, 50 degrees F.  HA!

Have some coco or of course, Coffee and have a wonderful day!  Just four more days of school until Christmas break!

It's the big 50!

 It's birthday number 50!  CAN  YOU BELEIVE IT?  I sure can't.  Doctors used to say I wouldn't make it this old because of how much seizures and such I had and that my health was bad.  Thank God for Dr Aboumatar and brain surgeries which stopped my seizures 10 years ago.  I know there is still a chance always that they will come back, but I am grateful always for what I have been given.  Almost 11 years now!

Here's a birthday card that I made to celebrate using a stamp from Unity stamps.

Please be sure to come and celebrate with me in February which is my surgery anniversary.  Every year I celebrate by giving out TONS of wonderful crafting goodies to EVERYONE!!  So mark your calendars and be watching the blog.  Even in January as I will start show photos of all the prizes I have accumulated this year to hand out.  Stay Tuned!!

Guest Designer Karin

Here's a super cute House Mouse card made by Karin of Karins Art Scrap Blog using one of her prizes from the one Million contest this year. She got a stamp and die set that was Christmas theme.  TOO cute, it goes so well on this lovely card.

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!

Thank You card

 As promised, here's another wonderful stamp from Sandra Caldwell today.  Both yesterday's and today's stamp will appear in the Etsy store, Babycakes DND today!  This cute stamp is called 3325 Remember When.  I used this image to make a Thank You card with the cutest little thank you shaker stickers.

I also added some gorgeous Turkish lace to the bottom.  I hope you love it.  Have a wonderful Friday and a happy weekend.

Snow Cat

 Sharing a preview to a wonderful stamp that will be added to Sandra Caldwell's shop on Etsy tomorrow.  This stamp is called #3365 Snow Cat.  How cute is it?  I just loved this creature.  I added fun Jolee's snowflakes all around him.  Precious.

Come back tomorrow and I will be sharing another wonderful stamp from Sandra Caldwell and she will be adding both stamps to her wonderful store on ETSY, Babycakes DND.

My opinion

 Sharing this hilarious Tim Holtz image with a funny saying for Christmas.  "Instead of presents this year, I'm giving everyone my opinion."  HA!  I just love these funny cats.  TOO cute. I have added some tiny turkish lace to go on the edges.

Can't believe there's just a week and a half to go before Christmas break.  WOO HOO.

LOTV

Here's another great card using Lili of the Valley stamp with one of my favorite characters that they have, this cute little dog.  He's so precious. I just love all their stamps with him.  I added a precious sentiment, "LOVE is a FAITH that dreams will come true. Love is YOU."  I added some sweet rose theme lace that I got from Turkiye.

Hope you are having a loving day.  Hugs!

Sweet Little Elves

Here's two wonderful cards using a great set from InLoveArtStamps.com stamp set called Sweet Little Elf Stamps.  How cute are these images?  I just adore them.  I shared another stamp using one of these images back on Oct 26th,    The top card I am using some great Turkish lace as well.

Merry Christmas with Guest Designer Karin

Merry Christmas Everyone!  I just wanted to share with you all a lovely card from Karin today.

Here is a Christmas theme cards that Karin made using a Christmas theme set that she won during my one million blog hit contest.  Her prize was a Christmas theme set which included the great die cut house and sentiment here.  Be sure to check out her awesome blog HERE

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?

Hello

Here's the cutest bunny from La Petite Market on Etsy.  They have the most adorable sets available. I love this bunny set, I have already made a couple of cards to share using images from this set.  I hope you love her too.  I can't believe  we are already in December!  WOW.

Even though this is a bright spring looking card, he's actually wearing a scarf, so I thought I would share it in fall time.

Winter Girl

 Here's a great Unity stamps girl that comes from one of the Kit of the Months.  I just love getting a great surprise each month in the mail.  It started out as a birthday gift one year but the following year, my husband never cancelled it, so I have been so fortunate to continue to receive it.  How sweet is that?

I thought green was an unusual color for a winter theme card, but I do so love using green sometimes, so I have to match the card to the colors I used on the girl's outfit.  Hope you are staying nice and warm this winter!

School

I thought this card was a cute sentiment for the week since we have just started getting settled in school this year with the new kids who came in November.  I think the kiddos would get a kick out of it.  The fun image and sentiment both come from Taylored Expressions.  I also added some fun lace from Turkiye.  

Hope you all have a great HUMP day, and wonderful finish to this week.

The Paper Shelter

 Happy December everyone!!  I hope you are having a great day!  Today starts a brand new contest at the Your Scrapbook Place Challenge blog.  Our wonderful sponsor this month is the Paper Shelter.  I made this cute card with the image they provided.  This image not only comes with the black and white it comes with multiple colored prints!

Isn't she super cute?  Drop by our blog and share your ANYTHING GOES creations.  You will get an extra entry in the prize drawing if you use an image from Paper Shelter in your work.  I can't wait to see what you create this month.

Coffee

Here's some cute coffee theme cards that I made with some fun products from InLoveArtshop.com  I got a package of their Bronzing Vintage DIY Washi tape and I used it with a stamp set that I already had (Coffee Time Stamps) and a die cut set (You and Me Coffee dies).   The washi tape is approx 2.4" wide by 13.75" long,  my piece was not sticky, if the back comes off I could not remove it.  I did love it's print and how it looked just the way it was though.  I adhered it to my two cards with glue.

 I hope you like these cute coffee theme cards.  I really love the look of the tape but the cost is high for the amount that you will receive (It's just over a foot long).  The dies and the stamp sets shown are super cute.  Also, I have a discount code for their store, G-27160

Sweet Deer

 Here's another wonderful stamp from Sherri Baldy this month, a fun Deer card, but this time the deer is laying down. (IF you missed the other card, check it out on Nov 23rd.)  Sherri has some many wonderful new stamps in her store for winter time, check them out at www.myBestiesShop.com

I can't believe December is just around the corner now. I wish you all a happy end to November!  Cheers, Holley

Joy

 Here's a stunning image filled with JOY from artist Sandra Caldwell today. I just love this gorgeous stamp. I colored her up and kept the entire card white by adding some lovely lace that I got in Turkiye.  Ahh, just 200 days or so until I am back there...ok, not 100% sure how many days, but about 7 months lol.

Hope you love this cute image.  Drop by her store, Babycakes DND on Etsy to check out all her wonderful digi stamps or come by the facebook group, Sandra Caldwell Stamp Fans to see more of her design team's creations.
