Happy Friday and Friends with Flair!!

Happy Friday, Friends!  We had our first real snowstorm!!  I love the white, glittery powder:) 
Today's tag was a fun one to make.  I used my Jilliean Soup Cobranded Unity Stamps and Jillibean Soup DP. I stamped the snowmen and cut them out.  Then I added twine for the scarf.  I used my irock tool to glitz up the snowmen's buttons and the centers of the snowflakes.  I'm entering this in the Unity Monthly Challenge.  If you want to see everyone's awesome Friday creations, be sure to visit the Unity Blog!!  Happy Weekend!

Wishing You Blessings

Happy Wednesday! (That feels like a FRIDAY!) My card today follows the sketch for the Lily Pad Sketch Challenge. I stamped the snowflakes first in white pigment ink then added glitter. I wanted the snowflakes to have a little something more, so I added the snowflake brads to the center of the flakes. This sketch was a bit of a challenge, but I like how the card turned out!

Still having trouble with highlighting and linking. Good thing my son comes home from college tonight! I'm sure he can figure it out:)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Snowflakes fall from Heaven

Oh, I just love the chance to play with my stamps and get crafty!!! It heals a lot of the day's ills!!

To make this card, I first cut out the mittens from the Jillibean Soup paper that matches this Unity stamp set. I followed the Hip Hop Sketch Challenge and stamped the snowflake circles and punched them with a scallop circle punch. Then I lined them up and added a dp layer. I popped up the sentiment and the mittens next to it. Pretty easy, but I will say that it took longer than I thought to cut out those mittens!!

I chose this sentiment because I may, just may, have enough Christmas cards now! I figured that this could be a thank you note or even a card for a winter birthday.

Hope you're having a great day!

Christmas tag

Hello! I created this tag for the All Things Unity challenge to make a Christmas tag. I found this awesome vintage looking paper from Pink Paislee. I used several of the papers and distressed each layer with brown chalk ink. The blings at the bottom are vintage rhinestones from my mom. I think the lace is from her too! And I promise, it's cream, not at all yellow like it looks in this photo. The Unity set that I used is Snowflakes Fall From Heaven.

Hope is something that we all can use, isn't it?!?

Happy Friends with Flair!!

Happy Friday! I distressed a lot on this card, with a sanding block and brown ink. I thought that the distressed look went well with this stamp set and the coordinating Jillibean soup paper. As you know by now they are a favorite for me this season. My husband found the tickets in a dusty closet at his work and brought them home for me. How sweet:) The snowflake brads are old ones from my stash. I believe they are from Making Memories, but I'm not sure if they are in the stores anymore. I have some white ones also that you may see pop up sometime soon:) Oh! I am also entering my card in the Crazy 4 Challenges to use circles. Again, I thought this set was perfect!!

Have a great day!!
