GIU.. I am your gal this week.. :) day 4

Hey everyone!! :) I can't believe it's Thursday already.. the time is going by so fast.. well here is my card for you today.. I wanted this to be a simple yet fun card.. so I used this months Unity Kit Of The Month Stamp set... called All Seasons.. I love it! It's so much fun to use.. it has this adorable snowman "stamp" that I just couldn't wait to ink up..

I really wanted just one of the snowmen to pop off the page.. so I colored just one of them.. and then added some twine that matched.. :) well I hope you all are having a wonderful week.. come back tomorrow for my last project as the Growing in Unity Girl.. :)

You Rock! Unity FWF

Hey everyone! I am trying to get some of my lost mojo back.. so I decided to do a sketch challenge.. I used the sketch from Sketch Sat.. it's a super fun and easy one to do.. :) That's right up my alley.. Don't forget to stop by Unity's FWF and link up :)

There are a lot of details on this card.. one fun element is.. for the clouds I used a tree top.. from unity called bella trees I loved the size of this tree top.. and needed a cloud that size for my rocket..

I also wanted a lot of textures, and dimension on this card.. so I ended up rolling up the puffs coming off the rocket, and the clouds.. :) Hope you can see that here..I used MME patterned paper, and black puffy paint to go around the letters and the rocket.. :) Thanks for looking at my simple creation today! hugs

Littly boy...

Hey everyone! Well I have to tell you my mom is amazing!! She really is.. after visiting the hospital 3 times yesterday with Liberty.. she thought I needed a "crafty break!" She totally knows that "creative time" for me is the best stress reducer.. So I got to play.. :) I have to tell you I love Unity Stamps. The quality of the stamps are amazing, and the designs ROCK! :) So I grabbed one of my favorites for now.. it's called "in the clouds." I never feel like I have enough boy cards, and I feel like they are so much harder to create then girly cards.. so I wanted to give it a whirl.. :)

All my paper is from Cosmo Cricket collection social club. (I LOVE Cosmo Cricket papers).. they are having a sketch contest going on right now too.. so I thought I would join in! :)

For the "road" in my card I used some teal/blue patterned paper, I pleated it for fun, and some cream twine to make it look like the "lines" of the road :)

I really wanted to give this card textures, so I grabbed my Martha Stewart shredding scissors and made some "grass... I love the patterns that were in this collection and I thought they would be perfect..

I ended up pop dotting the clouds, and adding some paper piercing around the clouds and the whole card for added dimension. Oh I also used Unity burnt amber ink.. it's more of a brown.. and I love the feel it gave the card.. I distressed the heck out of it..:)

Thanks so much for your sweet comments about Liberty.. I am hoping she will be okay now.. :)

HUGS to everyone who leave me comments.. they really make my day! :)

Paper Smooches GDT Week 4

I can't believe it is my last week as a GDT member with Paper Smooches Stamps.. I have had so much fun playing with these guys.. Thank you to Kim for giving me the chance to shine on your blog.. :) on to my creation....

Can you believe this simple little card I used 7 stamp sets from Paper Smooches.. I love them.. and this was ton's of fun!

The waves and the dots on the boat came from the Alphadots set. The Sail is made from the banana in the Fruitastic set. That cute little star on the sail is from the hang in there set. I used the surf and turf set for the sentiment, and the wave. The adorable little bird is from the FOLKal points set. The cloud is from the Spiffy Scooters set. The base of the boat is from the Vegtastic set.

I took a piece of wood from a dead branch outside, cut it down to size, and wrapped some twine around it to give it character. :)

I have to tell you this card is so fun, fast, and easy to make.. okay.. all you have to do is ink up your whole Alphadot stamp set (first take off the "hi" from the cling sheet.. lay your paper on top of the stamps and rub.. :) take the "hi" and ink them up in the color you like.. :) and stamp.. add a few embellishments and voila.. :) it's one of my favorites right now.. :)

You make life sweet

Hey everyone! Here is a fun quick card I made for Liberty for her Birthday (July 19th she turned 3) Every single time I am making a card that has anything yummy that you can eat on it, she pretends to lick it or eat it.. So really I thought it would be perfect.

I have to tell you I saw this card made by Julie Day (view her amazing card here) so I totally had to card-lift it and give it a go... and I fell in love.. so I wanted to have a try..

I have added a couple of my own touches, distessing, the dry embossing in the back. I think it looks like a waffel cone.. YUMMY!! :)

Oh and I added these little see through almost crystal thingies.. I don't know what they are or where I got them.. But in real life it gives it a great texture. Ya, and the ribbon is really a dark pink almost red :)

I used the paper smooches sentiment from the Sugar Rush collection.. :) Thanks so much for looking! HUGS
