It's Friday, Friday, Friday, FWF Day!

Hello from Wisconsin, everyone! What a beautiful day today was. A 48 degree, sun shining, snow melting day. It's starting to look and feel like Spring. Yay! I love Spring!! I have a quick card to show to you. It is a thank you card for my co workers. We have a fund at school called the Sunshine Fund. When someone is sick, has a death in the family, has a baby or gets married, they receive a gift from the staff of our high school. I recently had surgery and was given a gift certificate. Here is my card:

I used Dutch Mustard Soup and Bee Happy Hexagons. Both sets are on sale at Unity this weekend! Check the Unity blog to see great Friday creations by great ladies! Have a great weekend!!

FWF - Be Original! Be You!

Hi everyone! I was looking through Unity's sale items and notice this set: Comfy Cozy I knew I had it, and I knew I had never used it. I tried to make the chair a fun, original color/pattern and thought the sentiment from this kit went perfectly with it.

I love a little.....o.k....... A LOT of color in my living spaces. When I had recently moved into my new home and had just painted my living room a terra cotta color, a former neighbor came by to see our new place. When walking through, he asked if I was going to paint the living room. I replied.... I....just....did... His reply was that he wouldn't have painted it that color :) Oh well, I guess some colors aren't for everyone :)

I will link this up to Unity's {be inspired} challenge as well. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! I'm off to a day long World Language Conference tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be in the high thirties....yay!!! Enough below zero and single digits for me! Bring on Spring! :)

Check out all of the great Unity projects this week at the Unity blog!

Unity {inspiration} and pinspiration

A quick post tonight that will also be shared on Friday this week for FWF. Going back to school in the morning after a two day cold spell. It was too cold here in southern Wisconsin for us to have kids in school. Colder that I remember it being in a long, long time. What is cold? you ask....hmmm..... - 20 degrees real temp on Monday with -50 windchill and today was -13 with -30 windchill. That Is Cold. So with the time I had at home....I was able to crank out a couple of cards. Had been so busy over Christmas Break with celebrations and family, that I didn't have time to do much crafting. I thought about it quite a few times....but didn't get anything done. Christmas cards didn't get sent out this year, so I am sending out New Years cards instead. I looked through many examples and chose two I really liked from Pinterest. They are very similar and I based my card off of theirs. Here are the two that I found: Card 1 by Ardyth and Card 2 by Cindy

Here is my card:

This card is being uploaded to Unity's {be inspired} challenge for colors.

Have a great week/weekend and STAY WARM!

I'm {inspired} by Unity

I love Unity stamps and I'm sure you do, too if you are visiting me for Friends with Flair!!!! I also love the challenge they have each month. As I mentioned last Friday, I spent a weekend with some scrappin' buddies recently and got 20 pages done. Some of these were 1 page layouts and others were 2 page layouts. One of the pages in this 2 page layout is based off of Unity's layout sketch this month and the color palette. I don't often play the layout sketch challenge, so I am glad I got the chance! I used one of Joslyn Nielson's wit & wisdom stamps on my tag. I think I might own all of the wit & wisdom stamps....they are so cool!!! This one is called Santas, stockings, candy canes, etc. It fit perfectly with my Brunch With Santa title. My daughter was only 1 1/2 here and she was not keen on sitting on Santa's lap. She seems interested this year, though, as she has mentioned it several times. We will see.......

Here is the page I made for the challenge.

The page that goes with it

to make this layout.

Here is a closeup of the tag.

Have a great weekend and check out more great Unity projects here.

It's Unity Friday

Hi everyone! Last weekend I was able to spend some time with my scrappin' buddies and got 20 pages done! I think that is more than I have done in the past 3 years since my little girl was born. I'll have to share some of the pages later. With some of the extra scraps of paper, I made a few cards to share with you tonight/this weekend. They are both sympathy cards and use the same Unity sentiment. "Thinking of you....In your time of need."





Have a great weekend!!!

Friends with Flair is Toadilly Cool

Here is a quick card that I made my son's friend. It was a "Mom....I need a birthday card." ten minutes before we had to go situation. Luckily all of my craft supplies were close by. I had my son choose a stamp and tell me a color (orange). With that I got to work and quickly whipped this up. Not my favorite card, but it was ok, and not my favorite photo....usua;;y I take much clearer ones. Sorry!

Have a great weekend! Go to the Unity blog to check out fabulous projects and the sales.

Back again with Unity FWF

Hi everyone! Hope you are doing well! I have a couple of cards to share with you tonight. The first one was made for Unity's sketch challenge, but I guess I missed the linky date. OOPS! I thought there was another week. :) I used One of a Kind Winter. Love this cute lil snowman! I really do not wish for snow, yet.....but the sentiment goes well with him :)

The second one I made with last week's SOTW.

Have a great weekend!!
