Spring Break is FINALLY here!!

Hi everyone! Happy Friday evening!! (or Happy ______ - whenever you are reading this :)) Spring Break is finally here and I have sooooo much to do in the next week. I hope I also have some time to craft! I love it when I get some little projects done. I love being creative. I also love seeing how everyone else is so crafty and creative each week on Unity Friends with Flair. I have a few projects to share today. My niece had tubes put in her ears last Friday, so I sent a little package of goodies to her and her brother. I hope they enjoyed their "snail mail" :) The first thing I have to share is the get well I card I made for her:







The next little gifts were some rainbow and pot of gold treats for St. Patrick's Day made of rainbow Twizzlers and Rolos. I used a printable from simply {kierste} and a Unity rainbow itty bitty.





The last project I have to share is directly from Kierste's blog. Again, I used her printables and the same Unity itty bitty. This one was given to my son's teacher who was an awesome help during his recovery time coming to visit him a couple of times and having his classmates make Get Well cards for him. So sweet!







Sorry again that the pictures aren't great. I really need to get a new camera!! I hope you all have a GREAT weekend!!!!

Unity Challenge

Hey everyone! Hope everyone is having a great week so far! I am excited to go back to school tomorrow as I have been out for 4 days due to this little guy's surgery.



He is doing a lot better and I think he is ready to go back to school tomorrow, too. This layout was made a few week's ago using the Unity Sketch of the month. I did a little splattering behind the picture and usesd some Unity stamps, washi, and a little bling. I hope you all have a great rest of the week.

I hope you all have a great rest of the week and weekend!

See great projects and link yours up at the Unity blog. Yay Friends with Flair!!

Unity Friday!! YIPPEE!!!!!!!

Happy weekend, all!! Here is my latest creation with Unity stamps.



I am entering into the sketch challenge. I was actually able to spend some time scrapping with the girls on Saturday. I'm glad I was able to finally get together with them and was able to get so much done. 3 layouts and a bunch of cards. yay! My camera is acting up, unfortunately. It keeps puting a shadow on the right side of every pic. I have been trying to take the pics a bit off center so I can crop the shadow out....but it is getting to be a pain. Camera shopping in the future, perhaps???? We will see. Don't forget to check out all of the Friends with Flair entries and the Unity challenge entries. You can enter, too. I hope you all have a great weekend! Here are some close ups, too.

I love Unity Stamp Company!!

Hey everyone! I bet most of you agree with my title!! Such a great company with great people working there. Great stamps and great sales. Can we say addicted?? Yep, I am. Oh well. There are worse things!! :) (No, I do not feel that being addicted to Unity Stamps is a bad thing.....at all!) Just got my Feb KOM and I can't wait to use it!!I have a few cards to share with you this week for Unity's Friends with Flair. See what it is all about at the Unity Blog. I love their new fresh look!







All stamps are Unity, except for the monkeys. Have a great weekend!

The Play Date Cafe Challenge #168

Hi there! A quick post for tonight. We just finished all of my son's valentines for his classmates. My daughter's were finished over the weekend. Now, they just need to be delivered to the classrooms tomorrow. I decided to use Play Date Cafe's colors this week to make a couple more heart crayons. Here they are:

Here are the colors that inspired my crayons today:

If you want to see how I made these crayons, please see my post below from Friday. Have a great week!!

Class valentines - Unity FWF

Hi everyone! It has been way too long again. I last posted when the Costa Rican Exchange was in full swing and because of that and many other family and school activities, I haven't had a lot of time to craft. Valentine's Day is coming up and this year I wanted to do something cooler than store bought cartoon cards. I turned to Pinterest and saw so.....many.....COOL......ideas. We decided on some airplane cards (which I have yet to make) and these hearts made out of old broken crayons.

Step 1: Buy or find a heart shaped muffin tin (mine was $3.50 for a silicone muffin pan with 6 hearts)
Step 2: Remove paper from crayons (soak them in warm water or remove with a knife/screwdriver)
Step 3: Fill heart cups with crayons
Step 4: Cook at 275 degrees for 25 minutes
Step 5: Cool and remove to see what you have (I cooled mine outside for 10 minutes in the cold Wisconsin air)

I had my 2 year old daughter use watercolor paint on some small white "popcorn" bags and I stamped the crayons and sentiment on top of her painted designs. Inside the bag is a heart crayon and I closed the bag with a strip of washi.

These were a lot of fun for us to make together. Check out Friends with Flair at the Unity blog. Have a great weekend!

First FWF of 2013

I didn't have a lot (ok, I didn't have ANY time) to create this week. I am in charge of an exchange program between my high school and a high school in Costa Rica and our Costa Rican partners have been here since 12/27. School started again this week, too. So I have been BUSY!!! :) I do have a card I haven't shared yet. It is another one that I sent out for Christmas.

I hope to have another new card to share next week. Have a great weekend! I am off to the Kalahari waterpark in Wisconsin Dells for the day tomorrow. I plan to relax in the hot tub for a loooooong time :)



I'm linking this up to the Unity Challenge of the month, too to use non traditional Christmas colors.
