Unity Friends with Flair

Hey there happy Friday!  I'm running behind today so this will be brief.  So I've been watching Tracy Weinzapfel's Mixed Media Mondays, it's a lot of fun to watch these live "events" and she inspired me to use watercolors.  I never really did, kind of wanted to so finally I just did it.  Just really playing around for fun.

I decided to just draw what was on my desk in front of me and color it with watercolors.  This is what I came up with:

I know I need lots of practice and my never get that wonderful at it, but it's just fun even if I don't end up with a masterpiece.  Definitely outside my comfort zone so it's a good thing!  The words are of course Unity Stamps.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there! TGIF and time for Friends with Flair Friday!!  So Trader Joe's not long ago came out with K-Cups, cool right?  I pick a box up every time I'm in Trader Joes.  So I decided to make use of these boxes!

Here are 2 boxes I made recently.  I shared this one during a blog hop for New Years but in case you missed it here it is again:

The pretty embellishments being from Webster's Pages.


Here is a picture of the Trader Joe's box:

Here is a new one I just made using the newest Layers Of Life Kit.  

Used more shiny pretty embellishments from Webster Pages.  This holds my cute little Stella & Dot mini look books well!

And I still have 2 more empty boxes to alter!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello and welcome to the first Friends with Flair Friday of 2014!  For my card this week I played along in the Unity Be Inspired Challenge.  I picked the card sketch challenge.

Here is my card:

So I didn't end up using stamps on this card much at all.  The "Love" is a stamp and it is a Unity stamp for sure though.  Simple and sweet!

Thanks for stopping by!

Friends with Flair Friday!

It's been a while since I've posted for Unity FWF!  Things have been super busy with the kids activities and starting my Stella & Dot business.  But I'm working on getting back to stamping and journalling regularly so I can post often!

Today I'm sharing a very super simple boys birthday card I made for my son who didn't want to make one.  I only had 5 mins to do something so that is why it super simple.

We were in a hurry other wise that green section would have gotten something :-) The  Twine is from the Twinery and the sold card stock is Stampin Up and the pattern card stock I believe is Basic Grey.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hey TFIG!  Ok so today I'm sharing a tag I made during the Unity tag week and I realized I never did share it here on my blog!  So what better time than on Friends with Flair Friday!!!

I created this tags using some Dylusions Sprays and various stencils in the background.  I colored this cute guy using markers and paper pieced the presents but added glitter for the hat, snow and buttons! This snowman is from the Unity Itty Bitty called Gifts Galore! 

Isn't he a total cutie?

Keeping it short and sweet like my snowman friend here!

Till later!
