Unity Friends with Flair Friday

Unity Stamp Company



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!!



So you all are familiar with Ali Edwards December Daily right? I have been thinking about starting one but wasn't sure. Then last week the amazing Unity DT showed us what they started for their daily and I was inspired.

SO, here is the cover of my daily:


I had a small chipboard album in my stash which is 6x6 so I used the covers. I'm calling my book "Season of blessings 2010" because I know I won't keep up with a real daily and I wanted to start mine around Thanksgiving. So instead of Dec 1 - 25 everyday, I'm going with Thanksgiving to New Years and pick random days to cover. Does that make sense?

Here are some of my basic inside blank pages, including a few primed canvas pages!



The paper I used on my cover is from Best Creations and my flowers are made from a silky fabric from Joannes using the a burnt edge technique. My inside pattern papers are from Memory Box and the solids are SU and Gina K. Designs.

Well that's all for now!


Thanks for stopping by!

Alrighty peeps I made another Unity Christmas ornament this week. For this one I started with a wooden piece (unfinished wood) in the shape of a bell from Michael's. I covered with some Christmas paper and used some glossy modge podge over which gives it shine. I used the mittens from the Oct KOTM for my piece. I stamped it twice and the second time ran it through the swiss dots embossing folder. Cut the mittens out and added them using dimensionals.

Here it is:



Well that's all for now!
