Fairy Fun

This week is release week over at Queen Kat Designs! On Wednesday I have some fun new fairies by Amy Brown to share with you but in the meantime I thought I'd share an older one.



This is Jamie Fairy by Amy Brown for Queen Kat Designs. I colored her with Copics and used Prima flowers.

Be sure to swing on by Wednesday for the Queen Kat new release!

Unity Friends with Flair Friday

It's Friday again and time for another Unity Friends with Flair! This week I have a super simple card I made using a Unity Sentiment.




I used a kraft base and embossed with the swiss dots embossing folder. My picture images are actually mini notecards I got in the Micheal's bins. They come 12 in a pack, it's a fun and simple way to make some quick cards. I am hoping to make some more like these or similar to sell at some craft fairs I am going to do this fall.

Be sure to swing on by the UNITY BLOG to see who else is linked up to play today!

Till tomorrow and the Just Us Girls 100th challenge!

Just Us Girls 99th Challenge!

WOW I can't believe it's time for the JUST US GIRLS 99th challenge!! Really, has it been that many? Well it has for sure! I'm thrilled to still be a part of this wonderful group of crafty ladies!

This week is 3D / Template week and our theme from our hostess the wonderful Lisa is back to school.

So I decided to start with a wooden piece from Michael's. It's in the unfinished wood section and these are usually about $1.00.



I painted it added some fun "school" themed paper and buttons. The sentiment is from Unity Stamp Co.

So inside I put some of those slick Crayola crayons. I HAD to get these for myself to color with! LOL!

So be sure to swing on by the JUGS DT and leave them some love.

Unity FWF!!!

Here in the Northeast we are bracing for hurricane Irene! Hopefully she does not pound my area that hard but we shall see.

But today I have yet another mixed media project to share with you for FWF! This creation is done on a canvas board again, sized 5 x7. I used a fun green paint as a base and used one of my handy dandy flower napkins on top of that. The girl's are from the Girl of a Moment kit and the sentiments from other random Unity kits . The sentiment Botanical Garden is part of the napkin.



Be sure to swing on by the UNITY BLOG for everyone who is participating today!

So I will be selling at local craft fairs soon! I just got my Ria Creations name set up dba and all. Any tips or advice for craft fairs let me know!

That's all for now!

Till later...

Just Us Girls Challenge - Let's Bring on Some Color

It's time for another challenge with Just Us Girls! This week is color week and our hostess Elise has picked some wonderful colors for us: Chocolate Chip Brown, Deep Yellow, Riding Hood Red and Olive Green.

I decided to use my Tim Holtz "Holiday Collections" Christmas stamps. I made a custom ink pad for this particular one and actually had a few stamped up already. I thought it worked well with this week's colors so I put it together for a fun Christmas Card. The sentiment is by Unity Stamp Co.

Friends with Flair Friday

It's Friday and time for another Friends with Flair! So I haven't made a card in a while for FWF but I've been into mixed media and art journalling. I am part of a travelling art journaling group. SO today I wanted to share a page I did using Unity Stamps in one of the art journals that traveled my way. For this I used a pretty decorative napkin as my background. In case you missed it last week I shared a piece of art on canvas board using a napkin. I even did my first video sharing how I made that piece of art, you can check it out here.

Here is my journal page:


The butterfly is Unity as is the saying with believe in it. The words Botanical Garden was part of the napkin.

Be sure to swing on by the Unity blog to see all the players this week!

Tomorrow I'll be back with another Just Us Girls challenge!
