Just Because it's my last day....

of Growing In Unity.....I thought I'd share a card with you using the new Bella Blvd. set, Sunny Happy Skies!

When I look at this set, I really think more along the lines of bright fun colors, however, I thought I'd go for a different look with more natural muted tones. Okay, I have to admit, it was more about laziness, because these supplies were with me in my living room and everything else was 2 floors up in the disaster I sometimes call my craft room!

All in all, I like the end result.

Thank you for all of your kind comments this week, thank you for taking the time to stop by and don't forget it's not too late to comment for a chance to win a prize from Unity! I will be announcing the winner tomorrow sometime!

Your next stop on the hop today is Lynn at the All Things Unity blog.

Day 3 ~ Growing In Unity

My card today is made with another Ippity new release and some fussy cutting. I am just having too much fun with these stamps! Make sure to leave a comment again today for your chance to win a prize from Unity at the end of the week! In addition to being the Growing In Unity gal this week, I am also the Unity Addict Challenge Guest, and I am challenging you to make a card using the "fussy cutting" technique. This originated as a quilting term, but is now also popular in papercrafting and basically means to cut out a design from paper to add dimension. So stop by the Unity Challenge forum on Splitcoast Stampers for another way to win a prize from Unity!

Supplies:
Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 Mini Deck
May Arts Ribbon
Ippity Sing a New Song

Recollections Pearls

Growing In Unity~Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of Growing In Unity! Today I thought I would share a card made with the new Ippity release set, Cuppy Cakes. I paper pieced the cupcake wrapper with some Martha Stewart designer paper and used my Spellbinders Ovals and Scalloped Ovals to cut the same paper for the background of the cupcake. The rest of the cupcake was colored with copics. The sentiment stamp is from Party Hat Wishes, another new Ippity release.
Both sets are available for purchase on my Ippity blog and orders over $50.00 will receive a FREE Straight From the Heart Set (along with FREE shipping and the usual goodies included with all orders!)

Thanks for visiting today! Make sure to leave a comment today and the rest of the week for your chance to win some goodies from Unity!

Gobble Gobble

I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving! Ours was great and I even got some great Black Friday deals too! The card I'm sharing today was made with a stamp from my Unity KOM and Sizzix/Basic Grey embossing folder. I distressed the cardstock with Ranger Distress Ink a bit after embossing. The image was stamped with a blue chalk ink and I also used the same ink to change the color of the ribbon (it was originally yellow).

Luke and I made these turkeys for his pre-school class, so I thought I would share these as well!

Thanks for stopping by today, I'm going to keep it brief. It's 1:30 am and I just got back from my midnight shopping spree. Tired and stuffed from all the Thanksgiving goodies!
