Three for one:)

Hello, friends:)

Today is FWF over on the Unity blog!! Make sure you stop by HERE and blog hop on all the participants' blogs!! You could win some free Unity stamps! 

I created a super fun card--it's for our child in India, John WP!!! His birthday is next week. I also made this card for the CARDS challenge {fox} and The Paper Players challenge {animal/plant}. I love these papers by Crate Paper: Toy Box collection. My fav part is that alphabet card that I made with the fox! ACK! That pattered paper is perfect for it!  I also tried to be deliberate when making the strips of paper crooked--but I think I need to be more deliberate--it just looks like I made a huge mistake! I promise they are supposed to be crooked:)

That's it for me today! THANKS so much for stopping by! Be blessed:}

I've got a special card to share today! I made this for my friend, Daria! She moved to NY to finish her schooling, and her first day back was last Wednesday! This card is perfect for the Unity monthly challenge and Paper Issues challenge {both are school themed}. I used some K&Co. papers (loooooove those light teal apples--perfect for a school theme!) with Unity stamps {Learning [year by year], Smarty Pants, What a Hoot!, ledger background, and Sweet & Sour Soup}. LOVE how this turned out--It's actually a pocket card--the notebook paper inside is slipped into the pocket folder. LOVE LOVE LOVE! 

That's it for me! I'll be back with more soon:) THANKS so much for stopping by! Be blessed!

I know--I'm a bit late in posting this card! School started earlier this month! LOL! I just haven't had the chance to post all my creations! I created this card for the CARDS and Unity monthly challenge {school theme}. My nephew, Jackson, started Kindergarten!! OH MY! They grow up so fast! I used some images from Unity's Smarty Pants, along with  the apple from Unity's Apple Cheddar Soup.  The papers are from Cosmo Cricket. Pretty simple and SUPER fun for Jackson:)

This next card was created using the Unity KOTM sketch challenge. I have not had any time to play lately--and it was fun! I flipped the challenge sketch (shown to the right). And I know what you are thinking--"Are those stamps from a kit?" Yes!! I bought this August 2008 Unity kit because of that trailer! I love love love it--and it even helped me get published in the premiere issue of the Cricut magazine. 

That's it for me today! Be sure to stop by the Unity blog for a complete list of FWF friends!

I have a quick post to share today--I have been published again in the Sept./Oct. issue of Paper Crafts magazine! LOVE LOVE LOVE Paper Crafts!! I have to say that this was the HARDEST call I've created for--since I do not like Halloween! But I put on my thinking cap and used some Unity stamps to create these fun Halloween Soda Pop Jars! ACK--get out! Love that poison one! Here is the original pic (be sure to pick up this magazine at your local store to check out how they photographed my jars and all the other creations! LOVE LOVE LOVE!). 

Here is a pic of me reading this magazine while on vacation. Trav snapped this shot while we were driving on Alligator Alley--it's a super long road between my home and Miami. It made for some perfect inspiration on a "boring" road (we did see some alligators though!).

I have a quick post for you....yes, I'm still "out" and busy--but within a couple of days it should slow down! How I've missed visiting with you!!!! 

Today, I wanted to share some of the cupcakes that I made for my friends. This cupcake in particular is going to a good friend visiting from NY, Jeremy! She is the coolest--always hip and always super fun to hang out with! I am entering this cupcake into the Unity monthly challenge! It's all about summer! I'm also entering this cupcake decoration in the Tuesday Trigger--when I saw the inspiration picture, I knew I had rainbow paper. Plus, the bathing suit matches the second and third spools--super cute color combo!

Deets on the cupcakes::: cookies and cream cupcakes--there is an oreo in the bottom of the cupcake, with a cookies and cream center (oh my!!!), topped with a cream cheese frosting and an oreo halve and crumbs. All homemade! MMMMMM! **NOTE:: I am not that great of a baker and never could be on Cupcake Wars...but it doesn't matter as long as it taste good:)

I'm sharing a project that I made last year, but couldn't share because it was published in the new Card Creations Vol. 9 magazine by Paper Crafts! HOOOOOORAY! I love these papers and that Unity butterfly {Key To Joy}! It's glittered--and oh so shabby chic! The sentiment is from Unity's Life Becoming set. LOVE it! I love it soooooo much because I made it for my mom- she was my inspiration! And the best part was that she actually got the magazine and the card for mother's day this year! LOVE it:}

FWF using ATU sketch!!

My card this week was created using the All Things Unity #29 challenge sketch. I love the way this card turned out--so adorable with these pinks, corals, and yellows! LOOOOVE! I also love that I made the brad using my i*top {Imaginisce}. The small heart is from Unity's Love Bug. I used Unity's Love Grows for some of the sentiments. I also used Unity's  [oldie but a goodie] Sept. 2009 KOTM set [Go Ahead and Wish] for the heart and part of the sentiment. I stamped the heart on the back of the patterned paper and cut it out--I thought that would be the easiest way to make the cut-out. LOVE! And speaking of love--I gave this to our friends for their anniversary! Happy Anniversary, Jim and Jen!!!!

That's it for me! Don't forget to stop by the Unity blog! And please stop by the All Things Unity site to play along with our challenge! It ends on Saturday night at 11:59pm EST! And then on Sunday--brand new challenge! You are going to LOVE it!! 


Thanks so much for stopping by! LOVE sharing with you!! Love visiting with you!! Blessings;}
