Day #11 The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge - What, MORE Sponsors?

 


Welcome to Day #11 of The Cat Lovers Christmas Challenge where we are remembering our dear friend Janis Woolbright. 

I'd just like to say a HUGE, and heartfelt, thank you to everyone who is playing along, making cards, sharing kitty stories and spreading the love. I so hoped this would be a wonderful celebration of our sweet friend and of everything she achieved with her Cat Lovers Hops, and you guys have made it so magical and such a special tribute to her. Thank you. 

To kick off today's fun, I'm delighted to share more fabulous SPONSORS with you!

Please join me in welcoming Honey Bee Stamps. 

 


Crafting is soul therapy that feeds creative hearts.

At Honey Bee Stamps, we celebrate and support your creative journey by bringing you only the sweetest, highest-quality goods and supplies for your next project.

We are a small, family-owned business that opened in the Willamette Valley of Oregon in April 2015. Owner Melissa Hewitt dreamed for years of designing her own craft line that would combine her career as a graphic designer with her love of paper crafts—and Honey Bee took flight!

Our standards were set high from the very beginning. We design and manufacture our original stamps from the highest-quality photopolymer so that crafting with them is a delight from the first impression. We offer 100% steel dies, paper pads, stencils, and embellishments. Our innovative products get the job done right, but most importantly, they're fun and easy to use. We believe great crafting tools should bring you plenty of joy, inspiration, and encouragement to keep creating. 

This sweet company came on board as a sponsor for Janis in 2022, and I'm delighted that they've agreed to come back for our tribute challenge. If you're not familiar with their stamps I'd advise you to go take a look as their products are adorable!


Thanks so much to Melissa for her generous offer of a 

$50 Gift Certificate to be awarded as a 

RANDOM RAFFLE PRIZE.

Now here's yet another company I wish it was easier to purchase from here in the UK where I'm based! 

Say 'Hi' to Taylored Expressions...

Taylor and the entire TE Family are committed to the idea that 
making and giving handmade cards is still one of the best ways to 
show someone else you care.

Beyond today's conveniences of texts and emails (and whatever may come along next week), cards made by hand are a beautiful way to connect with friends, family and even strangers to let them know just how special they are. They are a tangible expression of your love, which makes card-making, specifically, and paper crafting, 
in general, so much more than a hobby!

I just LOVE their stamps!

Taylored Expressions
are kindly offering 
$30 e-gift card as a 
RANDOM RAFFLE PRIZE.

Just look at the card that Helpful Hopper Mandy has made using one of Jane's adorable Doodles!
 
 


Isn't this such a cute scene! I love how Mandy has captured that 'wobble' so well.


Here's a card I made using the same image from Jane's Doodles 
new Creative Expressions set called O Christmas Tree!


In my head the cat was dancing, while Mandy imagined he was balancing on some gifts!
