Map It with Catered Crop Unity Style

Good Saturday to all! I have a project that I want to share with the Catered Crop Recipe Swap. I found some new challenges in the past couple of weeks that I wasnt to try and this is one of them. Tonight's card is for their Map It challenge.

I used Unity's Here for You and Wheely Fun itty bitties. I also used some Nikki Silvis and Cosmo Cricket papers that I have had in my stash for awhile. I thought the little cars driving aroung the U.S.A and the little vehicles driving across the paper were so cute! I hope you like them, too!

Something new

Hello everyone! I bought the Unity stamp YOU are FILLED by Stephanie Ackerman recently and knew that I wanted to do something special with it. I decided to make a canvas for my daughter to hang in her bedroom. She is really in to pink right now, so I used that as my guide. I was able to play with my new gelatos, too. I used a tutorial by Jill Foster on YouTube as my guide for this project as I have only created a canvas once before. (A melted crayon piece that I did with my son.) This was fun for me , as I usually make cards. I only have a few days left before school starts, so I am trying some new things with the new products I have.

  

For my project, I used pink and white tissue paper, white paint, red and pink gelatos, matte Mod Podge, Unity stamps and some crinkle ribbon I made out of Hug Snug seam binding. I also used some Tattered Angels glimmer mist in Apple and Moss, paper from My Mind's Eye, stickles, and Memento ink. I suppose I should also admit that I ripped a couple of pages out of an old dictionary for the words love and daughter. *gasp* :)

I am working on another project right now as well that will use my gelatos. I hope to have it posted in the next couple of days. I am using canvas as the cover to a handmade scrapbook/art journal.

Using ROLY POLY Winter Joy, this card is also being entered into this month's card sketch challenge. I love snowmen and this little guy is sooooo cute. I'm so excited because there are new snowmen on the Unity site this weekend. I think I might have to get ALL of them. Which is your fave? I would have to say Mike....tee hee.

It has been a fun week and I am glad that I was able to get one done for each day. My crafting time frame hasn't changed I've noticed. I can plan and plan and plan to craft during the day, but all I end up doing is thinking about crafting or putzing....I must craft at night when everyone else is in bed. I find it very interesting. I can carve out time during the day....but it does not work for me :) When do you craft?

You can see more Unity stamp creations at the Unity Blog where many people participate in Friends with Flair. Thanks for stopping by! Have a GREAT weekend!

Unity {be inspired} by colors

My second post today shares my entry for the Unity {be inspired}challenge. I am entering this one based on the colors for this month. I really liked these colors. I used some of my favorite images....butterflies.



Have a great day!!

A long time coming.....

I can't believe it has been so long since I blogged. Well actually if I really think about it, it makes perfect sense. I have been to Costa Rica on an exchange trip and back since my last post. I have been spending quality time with my family for the past few weeks. I was away from them for 2 weeks. I had a good time, traveled with great high school kids, visited beautiful lush, tropical places, ate fabulous food, and spent time with friends, but I missed my family! We have been catching up and just enjoying some activities together.

In the past week, I have been catching up on a little bit of crafting. Hopefully I will get some more time in before school starts in a couple of weeks. This card uses Unity stamps of course and is one of the cards that I entered for the itty bitty challenge this week on Unity's Show and Tell Facebook page. I am also entering it for the Unity {be inspired} challenge. This one uses the card sketch.



Choose to be happy today! Have a great one!!
