I'm late, I'm late!

I know I promised my flower tutorial yesterday, HOWEVER, I spent 4 hours at the allergist being poked and prodded and left there with 6 prescriptions, apparently I am allergic to EVERYTHING! LOL!

When I got home I had the pleasure of spending the night with a 3 foot little man (my adorable nephew)! so plans got a little sidetracked, but it's coming SOON (I better make this good, huh?!?!) Maybe I will throw in an {ippity} giveaway for being LATE! Sounds good! I think I'll do that :) STAY TUNED.......

Have a happy Tuesday!

Self-Imposed Intervention

Welcome To My Unity Friends With Flair Post!

My card today ALMOST had October Afternoon Thrift Shop or Fly a Kite, BUT I forced myself to take a break from it as I was getting highly addicted! I kept staring at it, picking it up, touching it, but finally I told myself "STEP AWAY FROM THE OCTOBER AFTERNOON PAPER!" and grudgingly I listened!

I guess it wasn't so hard since I had a fresh new 6x6 pad of Cosmo Cricket Delovely to play with, so that softened the blow a bit!

I used my April Unity Kit of the Month and paper pieced the strawberry, then covered it with Alene's Paper Glaze. The little brown strip is from Bella Blvd and I used my Fiskar's Apron Lace punch for the decorative edge. I also used the pink gingham fabric tape from Love My Tapes (another new addiction-eep!) I had fun with this one and it was good to (temporarily) break my addiction with October Afternoon. Make sure to check out the list of everyone on the hop over at the Unity blog!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend everyone! Thanks for stopping by!

Hippity Hop

{ippity}'s Hippity Hop is the only reason I look forward to Monday's! Something to get me through the first day back into the work week!
I enjoyed my Mother's Day with my son and my husband. I had a relaxing morning doing a little bit of stamping, then on to the Irish Festival at the Seaport. After some fresh air and some shopping we headed to Naples for a late lunch/early dinner of pizza and eggplant rollatini~YUMMY!

So here is the project I made this morning using the Devoted set from the Fall 2009 Collection. It's 8 x 10 and all ready to be framed and hung on the wall. Would you like to make your own?! Click HERE to purchase these stamps at a SPECIAL SALE PRICE!!!!



The next stop is Morissa, so hop on over to check out her blog!

Happy Two Year Anniversary to Unity! Friday Friends With Flair Blog Hop!

This past week has been so exciting with all of the celebrating going on in honor of National Scrapbook Day and Unity's TWO YEAR Anniversary! I felt so bad for all of the Unity peeps, during such a special week, their website and email was DOWN! Can you imagine?! We rely on technology so much and don't realize it until there is a glitch and in this case it was a MAJOR glitch! Make sure to stop by and show them some love after such a stressful week!
One of the Anniversary/National Scrapbook Day challenges was a layout using this sketch by {ippity} DT member Maria Gurnsey! I had SO MUCH FUN working with this sketch, so much in fact that I used it for two different layouts and I know I will be using it again!



Here is the first layout I made:


I will be sharing the other one in the next couple of days. After you complete the hop, make sure to stop by my {ippity} blog to check out my SALE!!!!

NEXT STOP ON THE HOP=====>>>>>> RONA

Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day!!!
