Friends With Flair

Okay, I got my Unity Kit of the Month earlier this week and it is seriously cute!! Just when I think I have more than enough stamps, Angela and team come up with another adorable set! Oh well, I surrender! ;)

So, I dug into the kit and here's what I came up with, I just love those chubby bumble bees! The sentiment is so adorable and I know I will use that for so many projects, I can just see it paired with some cute critters cut with my Cricut.

Thanks for stopping by today. Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance to win some fabulous Unity stamps!

Have a blessed day,

Christmas in July FWF!

I attended a get together with some card making friends last weekend and the theme was "Christmas in July." It was a fun time and brought to mind cooler days in spite of the nearly 100 degree heat here in St. Louis! Here is the project I brought to share. The wreath is from a Unity past kit of the month and the sentiment is from Inkadinkadoo. I used a white gel pen to add snow on the branches and berries and I used a red Spica glitter pen to color the berries.

Thanks for coming to visit. Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance to win a Unity prize!

Have a Blessed Day,

Moxie Fab World Challenge Card #2

Here's another entry for the Beautiful Borders Challenge in the Moxie Fab World (http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2011/06/next-moxie-fab-world-challenge.html) I guess the heat is getting to me because this card has a cool theme like my first entry which had an ice cream theme. I used a fancy edge punch to create two border strips to use as snow drifts.


Hope you enjoyed visiting my blog today, thanks!

Moxie Fab World Challenge

Cath is having another challenge and this time she wants us to use border strips in an unusual way. It is sooooo hot today, so naturally I thought of ice cream and one of my all time favorites- Neapolitan! I used a couple of border strips to make the chocolate and strawberry ice cream. I simply adhered them to the die cut ice cream cone and then trimmed the excess off, easy peasy! Head on over to see all the entries in the Beautiful Borders Challenge in the Moxie Fab World at http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2011/06/next-moxie-fab-world-challenge.html

Unity Stamp Company Friends With Flair

Today I have two bright and summery cards to share. Both of them use stamps from some of Unity's fabulous Kits of the Month. I used this month's Kit of the Month Sketch so that I can enter these in the challenge.

On the first card I used the flowers from the October 2009 KOM and the cute bumble bee from the December 2010 kit. I usually color my images with Copic markers, but this time I used my Prismacolor Watercolor pencils and a blender pen. I had forgotten how fun it is to do that technique.



On the second card I used the sun stamp from the July 2009 KOM and the sentiment from the October 2010 KOM. It is fun to go back through your stamps and see what ones will work well together, it really expands your options.

Hope you enjoyed your visit today. Don't forget to comment for your chance to win some fab new Unity stamps.

Have a great day!

Stampendous Sketch Challenge # 40

Here's what I made for this week's Stampendous Sketch Challenge. I haven't used these gorgeous Poppy stamps in a while. They are so perfect for coloring with Copic markers. I paired the image with some beautiful American Crafts paper that I have had for a while. I will be sending this off to my mom who is in a Rehab facility after breaking her ankle in two places, hope it brightens her day!
