Yippee - it's Friday again...

Time for another Friends with Flair over at Unity's blog.  I have a card night coming up with friends and was working on a card using a completely different paper and theme, and struggling with it, so a friend suggested I go completely non-traditional with the colours, so that is what I did.  The patterned paper is from Bella Blvd, and I played off the colours in the paper.  The cute little penguin is a Jillibean Soup Itty Bitty (which Unity is having a big Itty Bitty sale this week - you really need to check it out.
Without further ado, here is the card I came up with.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

TGIF! Which means FWF :)

Good morning everyone!  It's Friday and the start of a long weekend here in Canada.  I had so much fun during my GIU week, and still grab my Unity stamps first when looking to start a project.  Today's card was created using a SMAK kit (I grabbed a few a while back when they were on sale) as well as a stamp from one of the recent KOMs.  I have seen many people stamp using a rainbow of colours and was anxious to give this a try.





Sorry for the picture quality - it was a quick photo taken before it was sent off in the mail to my father-in-law.

Hope you all have an amazing weekend.  Don't forget to go check out the sale that Unity is running right now, here.

Growing in Unity Day 4

Welcome back!  Today is day four of my Growing in Unity week.  Don't forget to leave a comment each day for your chance to win two free Itty Bitty stamps courtesy of Unity Stamp Company.

Today's card was created for a friend of mine who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and has just started undergoing treatment.  I turned to one of my favorite co-brand sets, Melody Ross Brave Girl Boots.  I have just started playing with Washi tape, so I added some to the card.


Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you tomorrow,

Growing in Unity Day 3

Hello and welcome!  I am so excited to be the Growing in Unity girl this week.  I have been a huge fan of Unity Stamps and a Kit of the Month member for a few years.  One of my motivations for starting my blog was to be able to participate in Friends with Flair Fridays :)
Please be sure to comment on each day's post for your chance to win two Itty Bitty stamps courtesy of Unity Stamps
I thought the ice cubes stamps from the June KOM, Sweet Summer Love were so cute, so I matched them with a stamp from the Simple Stories Itty Bitty - Boys Rule. I used a 'drippy goo' border punch to simulate dripping ice, added dimensional glaze to the ice cubes and carried the theme through with the vellum.
Remember to leave comments every day for your chance to win Unity Stamps!

Thanks for visiting,

Growing in Unity Day 2

Welcome back to my 2nd day as the GIU girl :).   Remember to comment all five days to increase your chances of winning two free Itty Bitty stamps courtesy of Unity Stamp Company.

Today's card was made using the FORE!!! Set.  I had alot of fun with putting this together for my dad for Father's Day.  I used punches for the clouds and grass and colored the golf cart using Tim Holtz distress markers.


Tomorrow I will be featured on the Unity Company Blog, so please come by and check it out.
