Unity Friends with Flair Friday

Welcome to Friday and another Friends with Flair Unity Style. Be sure to swing by the Unity Blog for a full list of Friends participating today and be sure to keep your eye out for that FABULOUS UNITY FRIENDS WITH FLAIR BLINKIE, you just might win something!!

This week with Halloween over I've been thinking about Christmas. And I decided to make an ornament for the Unity Addicts "Uncard" challenge for this week. You can find all the details HERE.

I made a pretty simple one using the cute owl from the August kit of the month. The ornament is actually a plastic one that I found at Micheal's. This is perfect with 2 four year olds running around! I picked up a few of them in hopes I will make more. I put that fake plastic "snow" that you can buy by the bagful inside, added a glitter ribbon to the top and the owl. My picture may not pick it up well but there are glitter stars on the ornament. Also at Micheal's I found a sheet of stickers in holiday shapes. They are double sided so that you put it on something peel back the blue layer and add some glitter, flock etc. Fun stuff.

In full hanging on a tree:

Well that's all for now!
