I'm having a Unity Saturday!

Hey everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your Saturday! My sister picked up my son Lance to have a play date, and I'm having loads of time on my hands! So I got to STAMP!!!! Yeah me!!! So excited. So today, I stamped 3 pretty simple cards. I also wanted to quickly show my deer I shot while hunting last weekend! I was pretty excited about this one! Woot woot! This first card uses the fairy image & sentiment from the November Store Kit. Will be available at Unity after December 1st, before that, you can find it in a store near you or online store that carries Unity. How I did the Fairy was, I inked her up with Summer Sun ink from SU, then I inked up the crosshatch bg stamp from SU inked with Chocolate Chip and then stamped it on my cardstock. I really love the effect it gives off! So fun! I then added my sentiment nad my ribbon/button embellishments...this card was literally easy and took less than 10 minutes to create, but it looks so fun when finished! Love it!
For my next card, I used the same November Store Kit from Unity, only this time I used the trees. I love these trees! So simple and fun! I first stamped my image on the cardstock, then I stamped on different patterns of My Minds Eye-Life Stories DP I got from my November Scrapbook Kit! Such fun papers! Love em up! If you want to order the papers through me, please add to your cart and quantities you would like. So I cut out different layers and popped some on dimensionals to create dimension on the card. Love the effect! I also added some copic markers to give it a pop at the base of the card and added my sentiment which is also from the November Scrapbook Kit. To finish off the card, I added gingham ribbon and a button. Simple, and again, took less than 10 minutes!


My last card uses Margarita Moments from Unity. They were released for a brief moment at Unity this month, but now won't be available for purchase until after the Winter CHA show! Be sure to watch for this set, it is so super super fun! So what I did, was created layers using nestabilities, stamped my sentiment on the white layer and added some brads. Then I took my margarita glass, stamped that on white cs and colored using copic markers and a white gel pen. Before I did anything else, I added my paper layers to the base of the card. The DP is from Cosmo Cricket and is called Cherry Pie! Love this paper! I distressed one side, and used my corner round punch to create a scalloped edge to my paper. Then I added ribbon/button/thread combo for my embellishment. Once my bottom layers were done, I added my nestability layers using dimensionals. After all that, I popped my cut out margarita glass up on dimensionals and added red stickles to the glass for added color to the salt rim. Such a super fun card, did take me longer than 10 minutes, but it was still a really easy card to create!I hope you enjoy and have a fabulous weekend! Happy creating!

Hugs,

Happy Veteran's Day!!!

Just wanted to take a little moment and thank all of those who have served our country so that we may have freedom. Your sacrifice does not go unnoticed! I'm honored to have served and wish all my friends still in all the best and thank you so much for all you do! Hubby came home from lunch today to wish me a happy Veteran's Day with this beautiful and thoughtful bouquet! Love this man, he is the best and so thoughtful!Anyways, hope you are enjoying your week! It's a pretty busy hump day over here! We went grocery shopping this morning, and WOW, how did I spend so much moolah!?!?! LOL...Ah well, we needed it...We even went to visit my sister and her little man for a play date before lunch and now all are sleeping but me...hmmm, thinking I may have to rethink that no nap thing today! Hehehe...Maybe...

Anyways, I did do a scrapbook page last night with my new Unity Scrap Kit! I am so loving this! I've never really been a scrapbooker, but lately, I'm having loads of fun with it! So I'm getting plenty of use from my new kit! Maybe because I'm trying to justify to hubby about trying something new?!?! LOL...Anyways, so I created this scrap page of my 2.5 year old Lance. Isn't he just the cutest thing?!?!? Or maybe I'm, just prejudice or something, either way, I do like how this page turned out! So fun! Lance makes tons of faces and I love each and every one, but this is his camera face! He doesn't like to smile or look at the camera, so you have to catch him at it, and this is the face he makes at the camera...2 seconds after you take the picture and remove your focus from him, he smiles! LOL...Such a turd! Anyways, hope you enjoy and don't forget to go pick up your Scrap Kit today! Super duper fun!Hugs!

Weekend of fun Ahead!

Hey everyone! Happy Friday! Woot woot! Wowsers, another week gone by way too fast! Maybe cause I have too much going on that I don't recognize how fast it's really going until it's already gone! So this weekend is deer opener in MN! Super excited about this! I'm a big hunter and so is Michael. We hunt separately though because he goes with his family and I still go with mine, so I'm sad that way because the boys will be going with hubby this weekend and it will be my first time away from the babes! Not looking forward to that part, but am looking forward to the hunting part. Hope to get some meat for the long winter months! So since 5:00 will come early tomorrow morning, I decided to get all the stuff done today that needed to get done, but still missed about half of my to-do list! Hate when that happens!

So on my list was to Stamp! Love when I get time to do that! I got TONS of stamps in the mail yesterday and today from Unity! First, I ordered my first ScrapKit! Love that! So super duper fun! I ripped it open as soon as I got it and set to work at creating a scrap page! I'm starting one of our family and so I created this page, but it is super awesome for his scrapbook too, so not sure which one it will go in...I used the lace stamp at the top of my page, then used the corner scroll on the big picture with white craft ink and the sentiment on the little picture as well...Really loving scrapbooking, since I've never been a scrapbooker in the past, it is catchy and find myself wanting to do that more, so these kits are super fun for me! I also got a BOAT LOAD of my images from Unity and wanted to share them with you...I got 2 that are repeats because of my order, so will be offering those up as blog candy at the end of the month since it is my BIRTHDAY!!! Celebration for you all seems appropriate, be sure to check back for that!This month has just been crazy for me as an illustrator! Just super fantabulous with AMAZING people and AMAZING/WONDERFUL opportunities! Loving it all! I joined the Ippity fun and am super excited to see how that will go! Such a fabulous opportunity in itself, not to mention that I get to illustrate stamps for you all as well for the Unity/Ippity gang. How fun are they! Just wonderful! This month I also had a release with ATS and was a guest Illustrator of a set called Dinomite for Clear dollar stamps...Just a super fabulous month!

Hopefully that works for a little while anyway! Lance so needs to wear out some energy this morning! LOL...

Anyways, just thought I would share a little card I made for today's SC253 over on SCS! I used new stamps available now at All that Scraps from HR Designs!

Hey all! Hope you are having a fantabulou Tuesday! Man, already the 3rd of November! How crazy that the time just seems to be zipping and zooming with no signs of stopping! Craziness! I am draggin a little today just because my 1 month old is stuffy and couldn't sleep or eat last night, so I only got about 2 hours of sleep!

I'm loving this set because it is so cartoony and fun and festive for the holidays. The set is called Otis & Milo Christmas and sells for $16.00. I'm so happy to be blessed with so many wonderful opportunities in my life and ATS has truly been one wonderful opportunity! The gals here are talented beyond words!

Last night I was in a very creative mode and decided to do a scrap project of my 1 month old! Yes, he is 1 month already! Yikes! Just look at those cheeks! I'll take some more this weekend and post them...this picture is of 3 weeks...So I made this star project using All Boy from Unity Stamp Company as well as some retired Stamping Up stamps.
