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.

Here is another card I made!

Christmas gifts Unity style - FWF

Hi everyone! I have been getting some gifts together for my daughter's daycare teachers. After making these super cute santas out of my children's handprints, I had some salt dough left and decided to make some tags using Unity stamps.

I have a couple of pictures of the gifts I gave them today with the tags attached.

I also made a couple of cards.

Have a joyous holiday season!!

FWF - Washi Christmas

A quick Friday post for Unity's FWF. I have been loving all of the great Chrisstmas cards I have been seeing. I decided to try my hand at my own washi Christmas tree. I love this tartan washi tape :)

Have a great weekend!
