Unity Challenge Wednesday

I can't believe it's been 8 weeks of the Unity Addicts Challenge! Time sure flies but it's been a blast. This week the challenge was inspired by the boys of Unity. Last week for the Hip Hop (if you have not checked this out yet you must) the boys made Unity cards and they were posted for all to see. Check them out HERE.... Not bad right? That's when the "addicts" (ha ha, can I call us that?) decided to have their "boys" make a card for a challenge. Pretty cool right? But we also kept our regularly scheduled program and just agreed to make it a masculine card. So today you will be able to view all the wonderful cards made by the men of the Unity crazed ladies as well as their own "masculine" themed card.

First off here is my masculine themed card using the Unity Kit called "A Dad of All Kinds".

I paper pieced the title and the chair for this. I think this came out somewhat simple I was not sure if I really cared for it. I do find it a challenge to make masculine cards for sure.

I had an issue with my blog and lost some links. I have to redo the links to the Unity challenge girls but Anglea of Unity was so kind as to have our links on her blog. Check it out here.

Now for the second challenge as for my man making a card. WELL.... that didn't go over with the DH. To be honest it's better he stays away from my stamping stuff anyhow! LOLOL! SOOOOO..... here is what I have for the "man" challenge for you....

This is my 2 year old "stamping". Both my cuties love to get into my stuff and "make a stamp" as they call it. TOO CUTE...

Yes this is a Unity Stamp from The Boo Crew and it's on a Unity Block. So I attempted the challenge with my main man in my life! Does that count toward the challenge?

Well that's all I have for now....

Thanks for stopping by.

Till Later.....

MDC Scrapbook DT Challenge

Today is the first challenge for the Mothers & Daughters Scrapbook Design Team. I am very excited to be a part of the charter team to get this started.

Our first challenge was to make a Halloween page based on a sketch. Here is the sketch:

Here is my take on this sketch:

I started with SU Eggplant Envy as my base. (This is an 8x8 scrapbook page.) The orange pattern paper is by Best Creation and the purple is by My Little Yellow Bicycle. I used my Fiskars pumpkin punch to punch out the embellishments. My half circles under the photo where cut using the scalloped circle nesties. To create the title I just typed it up on the computer and printed it on white cardstock.

Be sure to hop on over to the MDC Challenge blog to see what the other DT members came up with, I'm sure they will have some amazing Halloween pages!

I hope that you will like to play along with this great sketch challenge. MDC is offering wonderful prize this week. You can have the chance to win MDC's line of My Little Bicycle Papers and a stick pack. If you play along and post to SCS pls use keyword: MDCSB1 and link your creation back to the MDC Challenge Blog.

Would you like to be a part of the MDC team? A DT call is underway. Check THIS link for all the awesome details!

Well that's all for now!

Saturday means it's time for a sketch...

Yes every Saturday Miss Lauren has a wonderful sketch for us. This week though she has a HUGE announcement so there won't be a sketch. :-( What will her announcement be? I can't wait to hear about it. In the meantime Mackenzie one of the gals on Lauren's sketch team tossed out a great sketch to work with this week.

I decided to pull out these great "friendly" ghosts from Serendipity for this sketch. Yes I know I've been doing alot of Halloween cards but heck it's October and I have these awesome stamps so....

Here is my take on the sketch. I embossed the ghosts in black and cut them out. I created layers using these awesome pattern papers by My Little Yellow Bicycle and the purple background one with the bats is by Debbie Mumm.

Well that's all for now.

Till later...

Challenge Thursday with MDC & News

It's Thursday and that means another fun challenge with Mothers & Daughters Creations. Linda is our hostess with the mostess this month and this week she picked a Halloween Treat Box for us to make.

I will admit I did not make this box. I have a bunch of wedding favor boxes on hand that work perfectly! I covered the box in basic black then added some fun Halloween pattern papers by My Little Yellow Bicycle. I stamped the spooky house image and colored with copics, then cut it out. I added Stickles to the door and windows (sorry the picture does not do that justice). Of course I had to add a Halloween goodie in the box so I put some candy corn.

ETA: If you play along this week with the MDC challenge you have a chance to win a super cool stamp set by Basic Grey. CHECK HERE!

Now for my super fun NEWS FLASH.... Have you heard? Mothers & Daughters Creations has started a Scrapbooking DT! OH YEAH, and I get to be a charter member! WOO HOO! Check out the announcement here! Would you like to be a part of the MDC Design team?? The call for the scrapbook team is coming next week, be sure to check out the first scrapbook challenge on Monday. I will definitely post my creation here and all the creations for the Design Team will be posted on the challenge blog.

Well folks, that's all for now....

Till later......

Unity Challenge Wednesday

I can't believe this is our 6th week of the Unity Challenges and it's still going strong. This week Jessica picked our challenge and it is to make a non standard card. Tall and skinny was one of her suggestions and I've seen these cards alot but have not tried them till now.

I colored the santa with copics and added stickles to his gloves and hat. I used SU white flock for this beard. I heat embossed the sentiment using Ranger embossing powder in Cranberry.

That's it for now. We would love for you to play along with the challenges just hop on over to the SCS Unity Forum and check it out. I also have a link to the gals who always play along every week on my side bar. Go check out their awesome creations and leave them some love.

That's it for now.

Till Later...

World Card Making Challenges

This past Saturday was World Card Making Day! It came on a very busy weekend for me so I was not able to particpate in as many of the awesome challenges as I would have liked to. But I did manage two cards I'd like to share with you.

This first one was to case one of Sherry's awesome creations. I picked her card here using the awesome Unity Kit Giggle Groove. I changed the colors and the sentiment. The paper I used is by SU and Basic Grey.

This second card is for AJ's Sketch Challenge. I used SU Regal Rose and some glitter paper from a DCWV stack pack. This butterfly is from the Unity Kit Floral Fantastical. I added stickles to the middle of the butterfly.

Be sure to keep you ears and eyes open for the next DT call at Mothers & Daughters Creations.

That's it for now...

Till later....
