Here's my Unity Bachelor entry for this week!!

This is my entry to celebrate the start of the State Fair.  I don't know that it has a shot at winning but it has drawn two nice comments on the splitcoaststampers.com.

Cards, Cards, Cards!!!

I've been off line for a couple of weeks trying to create 100 cards for the State Fair bazaar table - I didn't quite make it but I did make some fabulous cards and I hope they sell!!!

Here's one I love....  I used my Stylin' Stars from Unity and a star background from Hero Arts.  I embossed the stars so they are shiny - it doesn't show up well here, but trust me, it looks cool.  The ribbon was from the Target dollar bin (marked down to a quarter!!!!) and the note card was from Paper Source.  I love that store!!!

A New Card

Here's a card with great stamps - it didn't come out as I had hoped - the photo colors are a bit off but it is bright and cheery.  Perfect for our photographer:-)

Newest Creation!

This is a going away/housewarming card for our favorite couple - they have moved about 1200 miles away just a few months after getting married.  I wanted to emphasize that life is a journey and this is just a stop to record in their travelogue...inside I stamped "It is not adieu."  I used brown cardstock and stamped Stampin' Up French Script in aqua for the background.  I then used a map from Alluring Impressions and stamped in brown on aqua paper.  Underneath is a gold and copper patterned ribbon with a cute brad that says "Believe."  The word "Travelogue" is stamped on aqua paper and I embossed with copper embossing powder.  The card looks rich and beautiful in person and the photo, unfortunately, does not do it justice.  I love it, though:-)
