Growing in Unity - Day Two

COMMENT TO WIN!

Thanks for all your lovely comments yesterday!  Here is Day Two - don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win some Unity goodness...

I love this stamp - it is huge - from a Kit of the Month.  I used Faber Castell markers to color it and it looks pretty good.  The grey is a Copic.  I should have used watercolor paper but I still like the way it all turned out.   Coloring is not my talent but these stamps make me seem talented.   This image is from the July 2016 KOTM - Glittering Eyes.  Let me say that I cannot give up my kits - so many fabulous images and such a great price point.  (I used some Nuvo Drops on here, too.)  So glad Unity has them now...

Below is my helper - Miss Hissy.  Upside down is not really the way to stamp but she is irresistible.

Thanks for visiting and see you tomorrow!

Growing in Unity - Day One

COMMENT TO WIN!

I can't tell you how excited I am to be a Growing in Unity girl this year.  (Sorry - my Unity FB photo looks different than the one on my blog - I seem to be aging quickly now!)   My love for Unity stamps is well known.  When I buy something else, I feel a twinge of guilt.  And the new items - the ribbon, twine, and sequins are amazing.  Those sequin mixes are the best I've seen, seriously.

But, I think you came to see my project, right?  One of my favorite things is gift giving and some special tags and cards always make it extra special.  Christmas in July?  You bet.  It has been 109 degrees here and it is brutal - it is nice to think of cooler temperatures....these are in my closet ready to go - just hope I can remember where I put them when December rolls around!

These are all from the fabulous set which I love - and made my Christmas cards from it last year.  The set is called Cheerful Prancing....

Anyway, thank you for visiting and don't forget to visit Unity on Facebook and at their website. The company and  its customers have built a supportive community and we love to share!

Remember to leave a comment each day for a chance to get a Unity prize.  I can't wait to hear from you!

See you tomorrow!

Card Making Again!

After too long away, I finally have been making cards again!  Unity is having a great Brown Friday Sale - 55% site wide so you need to check it out!

I will be making and posting again soon!

FWF!!

Hooray, it is Friday!!!  I have a few days off coming up and I need them...Here are some place cards I made with Unity stamps for an event last Saturday.  They were a huge hit as was our luncheon!  The sentiment of from a Kit of the Month and the stars border is from one of the heroes sets that I love....

The America die is from Papertrey Ink and the little banner is from Die-Namics.  Love it when a project comes together!

Happy Thanksgiving and remember that Unity's Black Friday sale is happening right now...

Friends with Flair!!

I have had so little time to papercraft lately but I wanted to share a little card I made with my Unity stamps that adorns some handknit items I made for a baby shower.  The sentiment is from the June 2014 "Basically Said" sentiment kit and I just love it!

Remember to visit all the Friends with Flair on the hop today and shop the great sale!

FWF - We are owly!

So, how do you recycle Crystal Light containers? With washi tape or duct tape and Unity stamps, of course!  I love these owls and the branch from "Owl Always Love You" and the sentiments from a Teacher's Pet set (whose name escapes me right now).   I think these are just the cutest and we will be selling them at the State Fair for our annual fundraiser.  Stop by and see us at Continental DAR House in Dallas between Sept 26 and Oct 19.  We are still making them and the next group will be Halloween and the new "Pick Your Poison" set will be perfect!

Remenber to visit all the Friends with Flair and buy some Unity stamps!

Great variety of cards. My fave is the paper pieced pinwheels. They just "feel" like summer. Thanks for supporting OWH!

Memorial Day Blog Hop

I am so excited about participating in the OWH Blog Hop.  First of all, what this organization does is amazing!   Second of all, it was a Memorial Day weekend in 2009 when I discovered (1) stamping, and (2) Operation Write Home.  My husband still rues the Memorial Day weekend he left me home by myself to go camping with his son and returned to find a house full of stamps and papercrafting supplies.  I found the illustrious Jennifer McGuire along the hop and she showed me that stamping was actually not as hard as I thought!  It was life-changing.  A trip to Joann's and Michael's immediately after watching her YouTube videos and, now, a full-time love of card making....

The soldiers and their family members who receive these cards absolutely love them and appreciate them more than we could ever know.  It is up to you whether you want to send an Anyhero card with a message to a soldier, or blank cards for a soldier to send to loved ones.  In other words, a win-win...

To celebrate my fifth stampaversary, leave a comment and I will draw a winner who will receive a Unity Stamp set.  It is a newer set  called "Everything Love."  I promise you will love it!

Remember to honor all our military service members, veterans, and the fallen on Memorial Day and every day.  Their sacrifices have made our country possible.

Remember to salute a hero today!!!

Friends and Mothers Day with Flair

It has been too long since I have been here, friends!  I haven't had time to create but I did use some of my Donna Downey flowers for some easy, beautiful cards! I was stunned to see I did not have a Unity Mother's Day sentiment - something I must rectify soon!  The "Mother" is from Papertrey and the label sentiments are from Altenew.   These were easy and I love the way they turned out...

Make sure you visit all the other friends and leave them some love for a chance at a neat prize:-)  Happy Mother's Day!!!!!

Here is a sample of this year's Christmas ornament for my DAR members - they are all different and I love them.  The Unity stamp is the text background on the poinsettia - it definitely adds definition and texture.

 

 

 

Sorry for the short post - gotta run!!

I get to play today since work was cancelled - big ice storm in the Southwest.  I needed a day off:-)

I have been working on Christmas gifts and am in a dragonfly frame of mind right now.  Here are a few cards I made as a set for a friend as well as a knitted dishcloth I made her with a dragonfly. Although the photo looks red, it is actually hot pink and quite lovely....

All of these were made with the Splendid Things Itty Bitty set that I just love!  They are not very embellished because I know she will mail them.  They have fabulous papers, mostly Authentique...

So, I hope everyone has a fun weekend and joins Friends with Flair today!!!
