Growing in Unity Day by Day All Week Long: Day 3

Here we are Happy Hump Day! It's Wednesday and Day 3 of my week of Unity. It is also Unity Addicts Challenge day. For todays creation I combined the Addicts challenge with Amber's Sketch sketch challenge. The Addicts challenge this week was picked by the wonderful Tanis and it was to incoroporate the primary colors: Red, Blue, Yellow or tones of them.

This is the fantastic sketch to work with and my take on the sketch.

I used my October KOTM for my images. My pattern paper is from the Prints Pack by SU. I added stickles to the flowers and owls for glittery shine.

My week of Unity is alot of fun. For all those who comment during this week I will pick a random winner during Thursday's Hip Hop to win a Unity Single.

That's it for now.

Growing in Unity Day by Day All Week Long: Day 2

Here we are day 2 of a Week of Unity. I have been enjoying putting projects together for this and today I have a journal to show you.

I picked up a blank ruled journal at the Michael's dollar section. I tell you people those sections of the crafts stores and Target ROCK for things to craft with! I think I'm hoarding stuff for altering.

I wrapped this gem up with some cool paper by Scenic Route. I used this frame from the September KOTM and the Chicks from Hey Chick. I embossed the frame in green and cut out the middle. I adhered the orange paper underneath the frame. I colored the chicks with copics, added stickles and cut them out. The cute sentiment is also from the Hey Chick kit. The flower I had in my stash of goodies.

This was super simple but I like how it turned out with the bright colors.

Well that's it for now, stayed tuned tomorrow for another day with Unity.


Thanks for stopping by.

Mothers & Daughters Scrapbook Monday

Monday's is Scrapbook challenge day with the scrapbook challenge team of Mothers & Daughters Creations.

I started with SU Mellow Moss. My pattern paper is by Imaginisce Fairest of Them All line. I mounted that on SU Regal Rose. Check out that great fairy carriage! That is also by Imaginisce is a clear stamp and is part of Fairest of Them All line.

Now the challenge for this week was to use "handmade" buttons on your page! How cool right? I remembered awhile back I purchased sizzix sizzlet button dies. I pulled those guys out and was able to use the some awesome papers from MDC to cut them out. The journal box is a clear stamp by Basic Grey from the set called Granola All Natural. I'm awful at journaling and never do it. I know I should for future purposes but I never like it. But this time I gave it a try.

Be sure to swing by the MDC Challenge blog to see what the rest of the team came up with. And don't forget MDC is having a card design team call, all the details are HERE.

Have you joined the planet yet? The Paper Craft Planet that is! Come on join the fun it's a blast. Come join the Mothers & Daughters Creations forum HERE.

Well that's it for now.

Growing in Unity, Day by Day All Week Long!!

Have you heard of Unity Stamp Co? SURE you have especially if you have been visiting. The customer addicts of Unity have started Growing in Unity, Day by Day All Week Long, well it originated with the lovely Ramsey. Each week a Unity Addict has a turn at highlighting Unity all week long. It's sort of a blog hop were each week there will be a new person in the spotlight to show you some awesome Unity projects.

Soooo, let's get this Unity party started. I decided to try and work on more projects rather than cards for this week. I LOVE making cards but I also love using stamps to make gifts and home decor sort of items. To kick off the week I would like to show you a Christmas ornament I made. With two little kids who are 2 1/2 I know I can't have any breakables on the Christmas tree so hey why not make some right?

This little cutie is made using stocking shape made of out wood that I found at Michael's. They are perfect and only $.29! You can't beat that. I got a bunch so you may see more stocking ornaments soon! My background glitter papers are from a DCWV stack pack. The fabulous bird image is from Unity's Bird of a Feather kit. I colored with Copics and added Stickles, cut the cutie out and stuck him on the ornament. Then I had to punch a hole through this little piece of wood. SOOO, I finally busted out my big Crop-a-Dile II Big Bite. I got this gem for 1/2 off with a coupon at Michael's once and debated returning it. Then thought I'd try it out and it cut the wood like butter!! OH it's a keeper! And of course it has a long reach for scrapbook pages etc. Finally I used some velvet ribbon on top and Christmas rope like string through the hole and there you have it. A very simple but cute ornament for the holidays. I'm thinking some of these would make a great gift or gift topper!

While on the topic of Unity projects and this great Birds of a Feather kit I wanted to show you an oldie of mine. Something super cute I made a while back using the birds and some ceramic tiles. You may have seen my post with this magnet set but here it is again for those who missed it another great holiday gift.

If you are interested in the details on this project pls refer to this post or send me a mail I'd be happy to answer!

Thanks for stopping by!
