Here's a super cute cat stamp from Unity Stamps. I added their fun sentiment, Meow You Been? I used some delightful paw print stickers in the background. I fussy cut the cat and a black background for it. Too sweet. There's a fun cat themed contest every month HERE.

Here's a wonderful Hetty Clare image for this month's contest over on YSBP Challenge blog. I hope you will join in and share your most recent creations with us. The theme is anything goes and if you use a stamp from Hetty Clare you will get an extra entry into the prize drawing. I know this card may be a little too on the CUTE side, but I am sharing it today for a dear friend in San Antonio, Sterling, it's his birthday. Happy Birthday!
Doesn't this sentiment remind you of that theme song from FRIENDS? I know that's the first thing that pops into my head...now I am going to have that song playing in my head all day long. I thought this cat from KatzelKrafts was just TOO cute. I had to get him. He's just perfect for the cat contest HERE.

Here's the cutest dog from Penny Black. I added a home made sentiment to him, Got Bones? TOO funny. I think he is just perfect. I also put on a bunch of bone confetti from Recollections. Though now thinking, putting this cute dog inside a shaker card with the bones would have also been just adorable!

Now that the packages are almost all mailed out, A simple thank you to everyone who celebrated with me last month. I didn't advertise or post out as much as usual, so I am happy to see those who still came to celebrate my happy little occasion with me. Huge HUGS to all of you!!
I thought this stamp set from Stamping Bella's Oddballs line was just TOO funny. They also have a sentiment stamp set to go with it. They all make me laugh. I used some gorgeous turkish ribbon to add to the base of this card, it matches just perfectly. So, Hogs'N Kisses everyone!
Here's a cute card from Kit N Kaboodle. They sell super cute card making kits among many other things. I had never seen them before the last convention, but I did enjoy buying a couple of their card making sets.
I hope you all know I am super busy setting up packages now and everything is sprinkled with a little LOVE. I hope everyone will enjoy what they get!! Cheers, Holley

GRAND PRIZE WINNERS COMING!!
Happy March 1st! That means it's time for a brand new contest on the YSBP Challenge Blog. The sponsor this month is Hetty Clare. I got this cute image and made a card for the contest. you can enter any card in our ANYTHING GOES contest, but you get an extra entry for using a Hetty Clare stamp!
I can't believe my contest is over! I already have a ton of envelopes open and ready for packing and packing and packing. My initial priority now is to fill out the grand prize winners.
Keep an eye on the winner list and hopefully by saturday, I have packages in the mail (at least a good handful of them!)
Cheers, Holley
Here's a hilarious card from Stamping Bella, using an Oddball, which is probably my favorite line of their stamps. I had to use Elvis' famous line, "Thank you, Thank you very much!" to close out the month. Isn't he just adorable? I am using some great Turkish lace in Blue along with some adorable embellishments that I got in Turkey as well.
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Anything I didn't ask about that you want to include in telling me interests you?
Still missing addresses from the following:
htondre@aol.com
Fikreta, Melody scraps,Christine, Jennifer Dillion,
-----------------------------
SO, what happens now? it will take a couple days to announce the remaining prize winners for the last few days items, as well as pick the grand prize winners and make out a list for it. Please STAY TUNNED. I hope to have that winner list as well as all the rest of the prize winner's updated by the 4th or 5th so I can start up mailing things NEXT Saturday and Monday

Here's the sweetest image from Unity stamps today. I hope this bunny gives all of you some nice warm fuzzy feelings. Makes you wanna cuddle? perhaps. My family used to let the bunny loose in the house, until he chewed up all the wiring on the TV and everything. lol. Sheesh. (Um, what do you think a bunny will do?) lucky the bunny didn't get hurt.
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
any other craft hobbies you like? just in case I have items from them....you never know lol
