sweetness

Happy Friends with Flair! Be sure to stop by Unity to see all the Unity goodness!

I stamped this cutie last night! When I got my July Kit of the Month, I knew that I wanted to use the ice cream cone right away! The background is dry embossed with a large dot embossing folder. I stamped and cut out two vanilla ice creams and glued one straight on the card and then popped the other one up on top. I found the perfect sentiment in the Oct 10 KOM, added some Pink Sorbet twine from the Twinery and I was good to go!

Have a great day!!

Good Morning to all my FWF!

To see all of the unique creations using Unity stamps, hop over to Unity!

Today I used an image that I haven't used yet from the October 10 KOM. This image is so sweet and so small! Next to each cute, little cherry is the word, "sweet." I stamped, colored and cut out the image three times. I used red gingham paper and faux red stitching for the main LO. I found this awesome cherry ribbon in my stash and added it for some extra pizzaz! I always LOVE when I find embellishments that match:)

I still feel that I need to add or change something with this card. It's definitely a work in progress! If you think of anything, please share your ideas:)

Have a great day!! I'm off to see all the FWF creations!!

Fashion Forward!

Hello!! I am LOVING my time to play in my craft room and stamp, cut and use ribbon, bling and great dp! I made this card for Unity's Challenge to make a Fashion Forward card. About a month ago, I saw a card made with this image that used pink for the leopard print purse. I don't remember whose card it was, but thank you!!! I went with some bright colors this time...I'm ready for them with all the gray days of winter. I would have loved some bright purple ribbon, but I couldn't find any in my stash. White it is!

Good Morning! I created five of these cards for friends of mine at work. Like many school districts in Illinois and the nation, our district let go all nontenured teachers. My friends are such wonderful teachers who I feel blessed to work with. My hope is that they are all called back, but there just aren't enough positions to go around with all the cuts my district is facing. Anyway, I wanted to give them a little pick-me -up and tell them how great they are and how much I care!

My card is made from several Unity Kit of the Months. If you'd like to learn how to get some of Unity's wonderful stamps at a great deal, click on the sale picture below!!

Friends with Flair!!

I am SO happy it is Friday! I cherish the weekends in December. We don't have much planned and I can hang around the house, listen to Christmas music and STAMP!

I used a sketch from a magazine that I really enjoy, Papercrafts' Go to Sketches. I had this fun dp that I found but was having trouble with my mojo. Enter a sketch from the magazine and I had a card in no time at all:) I stamped the image in red and colored in with pink. I added glitter around the ornaments and highlighted each ornament with a red jewel. It's very sparkly and bright IRL.

I hope that you have an awesome weekend!
Anne

Happy, HAPPY Friday! Thanks for joining me in FWF. To see the full list of participants, please start at Unity. Another welcome to anyone visiting from NaBloPoMo! I have joined in the challenge of blogging every day for a month. Please stop by and visit me any day during the month of November; I'll have a new post up every day!! I'd love to hear your comments:)

On to the card...I have been in love with this image since I first saw it used. Something about the symmetrical crossword squares on the bird speak to me. I used my copic marker to color in the bird to match the dp. I was just in the mood for PINK!

Do you save your scraps of ribbon? I'm learning to because even the smallest scrap can be worked into a bow or knot to add extra color. I've also seen some cool cards using the negative image of a cut-out shape that is backed with ribbon. Today I threaded my ribbon scrap in to add some pizazz to the light pink organza.

I hope you have a fantastic Friday! Here's to the weekend!!

Anne
