Growing in Unity--day #1

Hello, friends:}


It's a wonderful week here in Savannahland!! It's my second week hosting Growing in Unity! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Unity! I love the company {the people working there are SUPER AWESOME--esp. Angela!!}! I love love love the stamps--I reach for them more than any other stamp in my stash! I love love love the peeps! You all are FAB! I love going to your sites and being inspired! Everything about Unity is WONDERFUL! 

 

Today, I would like to share with you one of my newest FAV cards! This really is a fav--I love the color combo and the sketch..MMMM! I am entering it into the Mojo Monday sketch challenge and Lucky Girl Crafts inspiration challenge. When I saw this pic of Lucky Girl kit supplies (kit name: Summer Lovin'), I knew I would love this card! I just love this butterfly--it is from Unity's Life Becoming set. Gorgeous! I also love that ledger stamp from Unity! I actually cut it smaller and just distressed the edges! The scalloped tag is from Unity's Garden Variety set. The sentiment is from Confessions. I love when I can use five different sets for a card! I tried to twist that ribbon on the card...I found it was harder than I though--still think it's super cute:}

That's it for today...be sure to stop by ALL week because I will be sharing more cards with you using Unity and Ippity stamps! I will have a review tomorrow (or this week sometime) with CSN stores and a new PDCC challenge this Thursday! Plus...a giveaway! So be sure to leave some love!!

Hello, friends....and friends with FLAIR!


I love all the cards that I have to share with you today--they are some of my FAV!!! 

My first card was created for the Wee Memories challenge. We were to make something "up in the sky". Well....I had to use this inspiration pic with the rainbow! I have made a rainbow card with stitching...brads/stars....and I had to make this one with ribbon. I love love love it! I think it is super cute! And look at those clouds--I used crumpled up tissues for them. I love it! I used Unity's Super Sweet stamp set for the clouds and the sentiment came from the Feb. KOTM. I also used the grid stamp from the Moments in Bloom stamp set. LOVE it:}

This next card is one of my FAV FAV FAVS! I love how sweet it is! I used Unity's new Cosmo Cricket stamp set- Garden Variety. I also used my new October Afternoon paper. This card was created for the Mojo Monday challenge. If you look closely I masked the sentiment stamp so it says, "The cow goes Moo Moo!". Love it! I can't wait to give this to my nephew! How precious:}

This next card was also created using Unity's Garden Variety stamps. I made this card for the CPS Card Sketches challenge. I have never played with CPS...but I just had to try with these papers and stamps! I also distressed the sides--ack! I love it! I just got my blending tool the other day and I've used it on two cards already! [I forgot to say that for the "C is for Cow" card!!! I distressed those edges too!]. 

This has got to be one of my fav cards too! I love the stitching! I used three different stitches for a variety look. Again with October Afternoon papers....this was also made using the cow from Unity's Garden Variety. Love it:} Paige from the Cards blog asked for "pun" cards. So I created this card. Super fun!

On this card, I used Tattered Angel spray mist (not even sure that is what it is called--I'm so super new to it!!). This is my first time using the spray! I love it! I actually had to make it twice because the spray wasn't the color I wanted--I didn't know you had to get closer for a deeper color/etc. I made this card for the CAS-tastic and FWF26 challenge. It was supposed to be a simple and one layer card. I used Unity's stamp (wayward blooms) by Donna Downey! I just got this stamp as a random winning! HOOORAY! I also used my Ippity sentiment stamp from The Simple Things set. I added glitter at the top of the flowers for extra umph! 

**NOTE:: the corner was rolled up when I was spraying the mist...I did green and purple..the corner got most of the green...eh. 1st time...not bad!

And you won't believe this...but this card was sent to me from England! My friend, Ruby, sent it to me!! HOW FUN! I love this card--she featured it on her blog a month back. She used her Unity stamps that I sent her. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It looks so pretty in person! I wish you could see the metallic ink and the flowers...mmmm! LOVE it! Thanks, Ruby:}

That's it for me today....be sure to stop by Unity's blog for a complete list of friends with flair! And don't forget to leave some love--you could win some Unity stamps! And my May giveaway is ending soon! So be sure to go back through all my posts...and leave some love!!
