FWF {October 8}

Hello, friends:}


It's FWF over at Unity--and I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Unity stamps!! I have really enjoyed playing with them this week!


My first card was created for a special friend. I cannot wait to hear what she says when she sees this birthday card! I am entering it in the Unity WMCD challenge by Eryn {bday card}. I used Unity's {Samantha Walker} Encompassed Grace for the background. LOVE how that turned out! I also used Unity's Learning [Year by Year] for the circle, as well as Remember Happiness for the butterfly. I stamped the banner from Ippity's Love In Return and the sentiment from Just Wanted To Say. This card uses several stamp sets--so it is perfect for the Unity Addicts challenge. LOOOOOVE how this turned out! Love the colors--the buttons--EVERYTHING!! 

This next card was created for another fab friend! This was also my very first shaker card {which makes it perfect for the Unity WCMD challenge by Lesley [shaker card]}. I wanted to make a different type of shaker--instead of a circle or square...so I picked a "speech bubble". Kind of clever--but hard to pop out with foam since the edges were so thin! Love how it turned out though:} I used Unity's wood mounted bunny stamp, along with a cupcake from my 6 Pack Unity Essentials set. I chalked the white pieces in the ears and popped the cupcake with glitter and foam. LOVE it! I loved the girl bunny so much that I made a male bunny to match! ACK--so cute:}

My next card was created using a photo of my SIL and her groom! This is one of the last cards that I am sending to her before the wedding! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this card! I am also entering this into the Unity WCMD challenge by Shemaine {photo card}. I originally had an idea for little album card...but I decided to use this sketch instead. I LOVE IT! I actually was crafting this while Skyping with my friend, Ashley from Heart Hugs Designs! I used Unity's snail from Naturally You, sentiment from Jan. KOTM, music background, tag from 100% Happy, and the word 'memories' from the set Key To Joy. I love combining sets--which makes this card also perfect for Unity Addicts challenge {use three different sets}. LOOOOOOVE this card. **NOTE:: Why a snail? Well...I was trying to encourage my SIL [a bride] to savor the journey of this next month before the wedding and her entire life with her new husband. Sometimes we get caught up in "life"...so I wanted to tell her to take it slow and enjoy each moment- making them memories! I thought it was a good connection:}

That's it for me today--however, you can hop on over to the Unity blog for a complete list of friends with flair!!


Thanks so much for stopping by! I will have more crafty goodness tomorrow--new EIC challenge coming up! And don't forget to stop by the All Things Unity challenge blog--you have until October 16th to link up your creations! Another reason to use your Unity and Ippity stamps:}

Hello, friends:}

What a wonderful day---another Play Date Cafe challenge for today! Super excited--we have Ashley Cannon Newell as our Celebrity Guest Designer this week! WOW! I've been following her for over a year! Super excited--she is FABulous! And our "color story" this week is perfect for mother's day cards! 

Here is what I created...I wanted to go simple yet elegant. I love these metallic papers! They have just enough shimmer in them! I used Nina Brackett's Vintage Background text stamp, as well as Unity's Butterfly Beauty set. The letters are from Making Memories. These letters are also glittery! The gems are my "gray". LOVE this card. I do think I should have rounded two corners...but I still think it is perfect for my mom--although, I already have her card ready! So maybe she will get two this year;}


Be sure to stop by the other PDCC DT members' blogs--each week the cards that these gals make just blow me away! SO MUCH TALENT! Love it!
