Sweet Pea stamps, oh how I miss them!

Here's an adorable image from Sweet Pea stamps!  I do so miss this company so much.  They always had the most wonderful images from several great artists.  This image is no exception. I love her.  I added a sentiment "I think you are so beautiful" because she just looks like she needs a little cheer.

I hope everyone is having a great week, next week should hopefully be something special for everyone! If I am right, I will be starting up at my new job (well, I was always a substitute for the school district, but now I should be full time!)

Cheers, Holley

Think Snow

Here's a wonderful image from The East Wind.  I am sharing this card for the upcoming contest for Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge.  The contest is going to be Happy Holidays or as I like to call it, Happy Holly-days.  I thought this wonderful image was just perfect with this adorable snowman and the cute snowflake buttons.

Cheers, Holley

Have a Bestie Halloween!

Time for a little Halloween fun using this gorgeous image from Sherri Baldy.  She's called Boo Bestie!  How awesome is she?  Perfect for all those last minute Halloween cards you want to get done.  This was a quick and cute card I did by coloring her up and combining her with some fun spiderweb lace that I got while visiting Turkiye this summer, some shimmery paper with ghosts on it and some scary spider buttons.

Check out all of Sherri's wonderful stamps at her Besties Website (http://www.mybestiesshop.com/store/c1/Featured_Products.html)

Happy Birthday Sister

Thought this funny card might give my sister a laugh today.  I know she could use a little humor.  I suppose I could have colored this fun bird in all blues, but he looks funny just the way he is.  I can imagine someone asking him who he is and him looking right at them and sarcastically saying, "I am the blue bird of happiness." ha!

Happy Bday dear sister. Have a great day.  I hope this coming year is better and brings you all that you want.  Hugs. 

Sisters

Here's another of my favorites, this image is from Lizzy Love, Oddball Art. They are having a new challenge, the theme is Girls. I thought this image was just perfect for it. I totally adore all her fun girl images as well as her zombie type images too.  Just great!

Drop by their challenge blog and check out all the fun. They also have a great facebook page.  If you have recently made a card with a Lizzy Love image, we are having a great contest over on the Your Scrapbook place challenge blog being sponsored by Oddball art, so go drop by and enter it there!

Elisabeth Bell

Here's the cutest little Elizabeth Bell image.  Isn't she darling?  How could you not love this stamp?  Just adorable.  I created this cute little I love you card which would be perfect for mother's day for someone.  I hope you are all having a very special weekend, especially all the mom's out there.

Take care

Cheers, Holley

She's a QT

Here's a gorgeous stamp from Sherri Baldy called Little QT, she's just a delight.  I am working on using some green on my cards so I colored her up with green and red flowers and tried to match her design for the card.  Isn't she beautiful?

Leaf and flower cards

Here's a gorgeous pressed flower and a beautiful leaf card that I made with real pressed items given to me by a member of my church.  She is always pressing flowers and leaves and she gives them to me to create these cards.  In fact just last week at service she asked me if I still wanted them.  I just laughed and said as long as she gives them to me, I will keep on making beautiful cards for the church to use.

Have a perfect day!

Here's a fun image from The East Wind. They are having a contest on their Challenge blog to include flags or banners on your card.  I am using this great image with a banner across the top.  Lots of fun pinks and hearts as valentine is coming too
