Autumn Harvest

Happy Friends with Flair! To see all the wonderful Unity creations, be sure to check out Unity's website. Today I'm playing along with Unity's Challenge. They have a wonderful fall poem as inspiration. My card has parts of fall that I love: pumpkins, colorful leaves and swirling wind. Below is the inside of the card. I hope that you enjoy a wonderful fall day! I'm off to see all the other FWF cards:)

Friends with Flair!

Happy Friday, Friends!!

I'm so happy to be able to join FWF this week! I used the Kit of the Month Sketch and then I forgot to use KOM stamps. Plus I used a set with the cutest leaves and didn't stamp any of them, so no entry for the Unity Challenge also. Well, that's how things have been going for me lately;)

My card is actually a mini 4x4 card. Such a fun size to make sometimes!! I did have to cut the pumpkin down to fit it on my card. I do like this sketch. You'll probably see it again soon!

I'm linking up with this party:

Photo Inspiration

Good Morning!!! This week's challenge over at Unity Addicts Challenge is a photo inspiration. I chose the challenge and photo! It was so much fun surfing the web for good photos. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to upload the photo to my blog, so the link to the photo is here at Pottery Barn.

My card uses my newest set from Unity, Simple Blessings. The pumpkins in the set are rather large, so to make my third smallest pumpkin I simply cut out a middle section from the medium pumpkin and then glued the top and bottom pieces down together. Worked like a charm!!! It's easy to shorten an object this way, as long as the sides are pretty straight lines. I think I could make a short, fat pumpkin by cutting the middle section from the big pumpkin on my card. I saw some pumpkins just like that at the corner produce stall Sunday!! I also have to point out the ADORABLE spider brad on the big pumpkin. Normally, I'm not a spider fan, but this little guy is so cute:)

If you'd like to play along with us (and we hope you do!) here is the link to Unity.

I'll be back with the full details on my card later today!!! Have to run to work........

Here's the details.....

Unity Challenges

My first card is a CAS card for the Unity challenge to make your own background. I embossed it with the cuttlebug numbers folder. I love to use the numbers for a birthday card! For a kid's card, I usually highlight the birthday number...but not for adults:) I glittered it, of course, with Dazzling Diamonds. Can't get enough of that sparkly glitter!!

My second card is for another Unity challenge. I am SO ready for fall: the cooler temps and beautiful colors. It is my favorite season!! I used my newest Unity stamp set for this card. I am loving it!
