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!!

Tuesday Morning Sketches #216 and FWF

Hello there! Hope you had a great weekend last weekend! We had beautiful weather and spent some time outside at a high school football game, touring the Mississippi River Museum, and picking grapes for wine. It is going to get cold soon so we need to take advantage of these great Wisconsin Fall days. This week has been super crazy as it is HOMECOMING week and I work in a high school. Just got done with the parade :)
This week, I made a card for a friend at work who is celebrating her birthday. Her favorite color is yellow, so I used that to help choose my papers. I used the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

This is the first time I have participated there and I really like the sketch this week! I can't wait to see the next one. Thanks for checking out my card. I hope you have a great weekend! Looks like it is going to be another super one here. Check out other lovelies at the Unity Blog.

A little washi, a little FWF, and a little challenge

Hi all! A quick post from me tonight. I was inspired by a card made for one of Unity's Thursday blog hops recently. I love washi and have so much of it now. I used it on both of my cards and need to keep it up. Such pretty card can be made fairly simply. Place some pretty washi and stamp a sentiment or vice versa.

My second card is also being entered for Unity's color challenge. Won't you play along?

Have a great weekend!

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. 

An itty bitty card a day, FWF, and a sketch challenge...

Hello! If you have been following along with/participating in Unity {show and tell} itty bitty a day challenge on Facebook, you have probably seen these cards. I am going to share all five cards with you today in this post. You can check out the Unity {show and tell} page here. Just request to join and you can share there, too. :)

Using Happy as you Choose

Using SOTW Real Shared Happiness

Using SOTW Each Moment is Success

Using SOTW Hooray it's Your Birthday

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!
