EIC #95 {post 2}

Hello, friends:}

I'm super excited about joining up with the EtsyInspired team!! Today is my first official post with them! I was a Guest DT back in April--and was sad when I had to end my term...but good things come to those who wait:} I LOOOOOOOOOVE the EtsyInspired challenges! 

This week's featured Etsy store is KimmieProut. WOWZA!! Kim makes the coolest embellishments from polymer clay! Colorful and whimsical! Super cute! And our sponsor this week is Pink Cat Studio!! This week there are two winners::: 1) $15 gift certificate to KimmieProut with free shipping and 2) 5 free digital images from Pink Cat Studio!! 

I was in love with two specific button embellies over on KimmieProut. So I made two cards...my first card was inspired by these beautiful green, red, teal, buttons. After looking at them for awhile...I noticed that I had several stamps that matched the designs. I used my jar stamp, along with Unity's You're A Doll [stitches], Encompassed Grace [flower/circle], 6 Pack Unity Essentials [flower], and a free stamp from Unity [not sure the name]. I also used Unity's Stuck on You set for the sentiment. If you look closely you will see that I stamped the jar on transparency to make it look like the buttons are being held in a real jar. Super fun!!!

**NOTE:: You can kind of see the transparency...

My second card was inspired by these pirate buttons. Of course I knew I had to use my Unity Pirate Madness stamp set!! I just love how this card turned out--it kind of looks like another card that I made awhile back. So fun!!

That's it for me today...be sure to head over to EtsyInspired for all the deets on this challenge! And please stop by all the other DT members' blogs--they have some beautiful creations to share with you today!!

I paper pieced the flower and added gems. Super easy book!

Growing in Unity Day #6

Hello, friends:} And friends with FLAIR!!


Today is a fun day--it's FWF with Unity!! LOVE Unity! Only sad thing today is that my Growing in Unity ends TOMORROW! NOOOOOOOOOOO! I've had lots of fun--thanks for making this week so much fun!!

My first card was created for the CPS 173 sketch. I love this card! Look at all the animals saying "HI"! I used Unity's Garden Variety [pig] and May KOTM [sentiment], along with Ippity's Simply Home [bird, chicken, sheep, cow] stamp sets for this card. I love the papers--available at Limelight!! I do wish I would have stamped the sheep, pig, and chicken closer together so it looked like they were standing on each other...but you get the idea;}

This next card was created for Stampin' Sisters in Christ {stripes}, CARDS {4th of July card}, Wee Memories {red, white, blue}, and the Cupcake Inspiration {photo} challenges. I love how this card turned out. I wanted to make a circle base...but then I thought a star would be best! I used Unity's music background stamp, Sentiments O' Simple, and Our Stories sets. The tab pulls out to reveal an area to write your message. I love the distressed or aged look that the doily gives. The hardest part--glitter! I don't think I like working with it anymore! It was EVERYWHERE:}

I created another book for a family with a baby boy. I really enjoy making these prayer books. This lion was a free stamp that I won--it is from Unity's Wild Crazy set. I layered his mane with orange and yellow. Not sure if you can see it...but it is super cute! I love his tail too! Actually--this book can also be for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge because of the stripes:}

This last card is another FAV of mine! I made it just for fun. I used Unity's You're A Doll stamp set for the entire card. I paper pieced this doll--so cute! I love love love it!! 

That's it for me today--but you can head on over to the Unity blog for a complete list of friends with flair!! And be sure to leave some love along the way--if you find the blinkie...you couuld win 25 free Unity stamps!


And speaking of winning Unity stamps...you can leave some love here (and on any posts from June 27-July 3) for your chance to win either Sending My Love or one of the following::: Margarita Moments; Which Direction; Berry Good Life; Grow Yourself Extraordinary . HOOOORAY for FREE Unity stamps!

Hello, friends! 

What a fab day!! We have a new color combo over at The Play Date Cafe and new badges {Thanks to Lisa and Paul B. for helping us make these badges!!}!!  If you play along with us,  you can save this badge and link it to the PDCC on your sidebar! How fun!! **NOTE:: Be sure to grab the HTML for this badge so it will link back to the PDCC. We also have a FABULOUS Guest Designer this week---Kelly Marie Alvarez, owner of Lawn Fawn stamps! She is also our sponsor this week!! HOOORAY:} And GOOD NEWS::: Kelly is offering one player a new stamp set that will be released soon! So you will be one of the first to get this FAB stamp set! WOW--I wonder if I can win??? How fun!!

This week's color combo was picked by Julie Ranae! These colors together just scream LOVE! And our DTs made cards using birds and cages! I took a spin on the love + bird theme. I just love this card {ha--I used a love theme...and I love this card!}! I used the bird from my Unity Where You Are stamp set. I embossed it on pink, red, and white cardstock. I printed the sentiment and it was done:} Love simple! And what a great color combo! 

I liked this color combo so much--that I made another card with birds and cages...I just printed the background off and added the embellishments. The bird is from Ippity's Fall For You set.  Super fun!

Be sure to stop by the PDCC DTs' blogs. Some of them used a die cut from Tim Holtz...LOVE it! All the cards are BEAUTIFUL!

Growing in Unity Day #5 {post #1}

***Scroll up for my PDCC challenge cards!


Hello, friends!!! 


I loooooooooooove UNITY! Have I told you that lately??? Love it! This is my fifth day for Growing in Unity--I don't want it to end!! I just want to say that I'm so thankful for all of your love and support! My friends ROCK! 


Today I would like to share some books that I made. I've made these books for my yearly events {for our Christmas Ornament Traditions--go here to find out more}...but then I realized I could use them to keep track of birthdays and other important events. LOVE it! All the books are sewn together--easy to make! This first one was created using Unity's Where You Are butterfly. Love that big butterfly! So beautiful!

This book was created using Unity's ice cream stamp and Ippity's Love In Return [banner]. I love how the ice cream cone has three scoops--looks like sherbet to me! My new fav ice cream...or is that even considered ice cream? 

This book has got to be one of my fav designs. I wasn't sure I liked the paper...but then I mixed the tag {from Unity's CKU Giggles set} and the doll {from Unity's You're A Doll set} together. I love this book! I love how that doll looks ragged or frazzled--that is how I feel when I forget a birthday! HA! Love it:} **NOTE:: I just realized that I forgot to put on here that I stamped the sentiment using Unity's May KOTM stamps. So fun--it is also wonky--just like I feel!! 

This last one took awhile to create. I used Unity's Treasure To Me set to make the form. I paper pieced it--with three different papers. I just love how pretty this turned out! Love it!

That is it for me today--however, if you scroll up...you will see another two cards made using Unity stamps! 


For your chance to win 1) Sending My Love set or 2) one of these stamp sets::: Margarita Moments; Which Direction; Berry Good Life; Grow Yourself Extraordinary ...be sure to leave some love on any posts from June 27-July 3!!! Winner announced on July 4!
