Cherish

I totally love this artist's quirky off beat stamps.  I am sure that is no surprise to my readers.  This is Bloobel stamps.  Isn't she too cute? I used a great lime green and blue polka dot card with some matching blue lace to go with it.  TOO fun.

I love halloween, skulls, little girls, cute, funny, cute not realistic animals, coffee/tea, love you, quirky weird

BANG!

Thought we'd start off today with a BANG!  ha! Here's a funny image from Twistoon stamps. I love her fun character images.  You can find them here.  You can also see cards I have made from the same artist listed under Bloobel stamps.  I have some gorgeous Turkish lace on this card and a sentiment, "Have Courage"  

Have a wonderful day today everyone!  Did you see all the blog candy shared earlier this week?, check it out HERE. 

Here comes the sun

Here's a cute summery card using a great flower stamp from Bloobel.  It's no longer open, but I was lucky enough to get a bunch of their stamps as a member of their design team before they closed.  I adore their fun and quirky images.

Hope your summer is going well, I can't believe we are almost all the way through June.  EEEK. Summer sure is going quickly. Not sure I am yet ready for the next school year just yet.

The brain is gone....

Here's a hilarious card that didn't make it onto the calendar during February, but you know when I see a brain stamp, I just have to have it, lol.  This stamp was made by Bloobel stamps that is now closed.  I really miss her awesome images.  TOO funny.

I don't know who makes the sentiment stamp, I got it in plain rubber, but it's too funny and goes well with a  lot of my brain cards.  So many packages have been already wrapped up, well, they have gone from being in boxes on my floor to envelopes with their names on them.  Now, they need to go from envelopes with names to properly address envelopes with postage.  Sounds easy right?  lol....

so the following items went out over the weekend, meaning they are at the post office this morning for shipping:    NOTE---LOOK FOR YOUR NAME using the name I SHIPPED your package TO NOT THE NAME of your messages. For example, if you leave comments as CraftyGirl, but your name is Holley,  in the list below, your name will appear as Holley.....

The following got mailed MONDAY MORNING:  Karen L, Rachel D, DJ, Melody S, Cindy H, Cindy K, Rhonda M, Lee Tucker, Linda R, Juanita, Sher Brown, Kathy Brown, Shannon Hart, Peggie W, Kathy Barley, Laura M, Linda D, Jane S, Vinita (2 items), Sandra vB (2 items), Angel J, Gwyneth, Jackie T, Trish V, Sindhu, Christine

HUGE Thanks to Pat for sending me postage $$.  That is so much help.  I so very much appreciate your support and long time friendship.  You are a real inspiration for me, if you are new to the celebration, Pat also send me an awesome Mixed Media work that she made using a great image from Ike's Art of a woman holding a BRAIN, lol!!  (see it HERE)

Beauty hides the imperfections

Here's an awesome image from Boobel Stamps.  I think this ballerina is just too fun! I had to add some gorgeous paisley ribbon from Turkiye and some great Turkish lace as well.  The sentiment is just perfect for this "Beauty hides in the imperfections"

Hope this card gave you a smile today.  May you have a beautiful day!

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!

Enjoy

Here's an adorable Bloobel stamp. I added a fun sentiment "Enjoy the little things in life...for one day you'll look back and realize they were big things."  I love that saying and think it's perfect with this frazzled dolly!

Hope everyone is having a great week, spring break is going by too quickly, lol, funny it seems that way already, it's only Tuesday.  Day's move much quicker when I am not in class all day.

Blown Away

I recently decided to join the Bloobel stamps DT.  I just couldn't resist it!  I am sure if you have seen her fun stamps you know I just LOVE them.  They are too quirky and just what I adore.  Here's a couple of cards that I made using the first image that I was given called "Blown Away".

Isn't this stamp fab?  I just love it.  She also has a great $1 special going on and I am so happy to say that she will be giving a prize away in Feb during my celebration!!  WOO HOO.  Check out this awesome stamp at her store here.  Then drop by her facebook group HERE.

Sharing Bloobel Stamps

Here's a stamp you all had to know I would love.  This image is too quirky and fun, which is right up my alley.  It's from Bloobel Stamps.  She recently put a bunch of her wonderful images on sale and I had to scoop up a whole bunch of them before they got retired.   This one is still available for just $1 and is called Letting Go

I am using some Bazzil paper here and some fun Washi tape.  I hope you are all having a great day and that this card gave you a little smile.  You can check out this fun artist on her site, Bloobel stamps

Take Your Medicine

Here's a great image from Bloobel.  I adore this company's images.  They are sponsoring the challenge at Outlawz Monday Greeting's Challenge tomorrow and the theme is to add something with a little bling on it (like the medical charms here).  This fun image is called Take Your Medicine.

I hope you will check out the weekly challenge on Outlawz Monday greetings and share with us something fun, any card that is using some bling or metallic sparkle as well as having a greeting on it is great!

Good Times

Here's an awesome image from Bloobel images.  I am loving this artist's works.  So fun and quirky, it's right up my alley.  This card is for the contest at Outlawz which starts tomorrow, the Monday Greetings Challenge. This week's theme is to incorporate music, so I chose the song "Good Times" by adding the sentiment "Enjoy the good times."

Drop by the Monday Greetings Challenge over on Outlawz to share your creations with us and you could win a great prize from Bloobel stamps.  We can't wait to check out what you make using any artist or any type of project, but remember, it must have a greeting on it.

Cheers, Holley

I feel pretty....

Happy Monday everyone, it's time for this week's challenge over at the Outlawz challenge blog. It's Monday Greetings!  This week the theme is Hip to be Square, so everyone is sharing their square cards and one of our sponsors is Bloobel stamps.  As I am sure you all have guessed, I TOTALLY LOVE these quirky and cute (and hilarious) images.  Here's one of my favorites, he's called Moustache Ballerina.

I just had to add the "I feel pretty, oh so pretty.  I feel pretty and witty and bright...."  Too fun.  Please drop by Outlawz Monday greeting challenge and share your square cards with us this week. We'd love to see your creations.

Who is it?

Here's one of my new favorite companies, Bloobel stamps.  These stamps are just too quirky and an absolute delight. Too much fun.  Be sure and check them out on their Etsy site.  This cutie is called Telephone Time.  We're having a contest over on Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge featuring stamps from Bloobels with a prize from them.  Contest starts tomorrow morning.

Drop by and check out all the fun cards and join in our challenge, the theme this week is embossing (dry or wet) plus as always, you need to include a greeting on your card.
