Just when....

Good Morning! Happy Friends with Flair! If you haven't had a chance to see all the wonderful creations, please stop by Unity for the full list of friends! I'm also entering this in the All Things Unity Challenge to use butterflies.

I had so much fun creating this hanging for my "tiny clothespin" wall frames! You can see the post about my frames here. I just bought the stamp set, Quote Bundle Pack, and I loved this sentiment. I also remembered that one of my Unity kits, What Matters Most, had this grouping of butterflies. I decided to nestle the butterflies into the left side of the quote. Then I paper pieced all the butterflies. Lots of detail cutting, but I really enjoy that sometimes. I just get lost in the process:) After the butterflies were done I accented the quote with yellow pearls. I used the June 2011 Sketch for You to Try as my LO for the rest of the hanging. A flourish, a string of pearls and I was done!

Happy New Home

Hello! Today's card is for a friend of mine who just moved into her first apartment! She LOVES bright colors, so I made her card bright. Definitely not my usual color range, but it was fun and I know she'll enjoy it! The "happy" sentiment is on the inside of the card...in case you're wondering!

Have a great day! I hope it's bright and sunny!

Friends with Flair!!

Hello! I made this mini card for the Ippity Mini Card Challenge. It measures only 3.25 x 3.25. One glitch in my process was that I didn't have any Ippity sentiments that were small enough, so I had to use another one! I used my new fav dp, Jovial, by BasicGrey. I paper pieced the flowers with that dp also. I added bling with black jewels. They aren't super glittery, but they do add that little extra!!

Please see my post below for another card that I loved making with these same papers and the Unity Silhouette Song Bird stamp.

Have an awesome weekend!

Friends with Flair Friday!!

Happy Friday!! I am so excited to participate in FWF for the first time! I just discovered Unity this summer and I've been in love ever since. All the fabulous sentiments just drew me in. Today's sentiment about life is just about perfect. I certainly try to dream about life, believe in myself, and go out and LIVE life.

Have a great weekend! I hope you have the chance to dream, believe and really live!!

One Day at a Time

Good Afternoon!! My little pouch will be filled with chocolate and this bookmark when I give it away. I love this saying! I'll probably take it to work and give it to someone who is having "one of those days." I did some paper piecing along with coloring on the bookmark. Many thanks to Beate Johns on Splitcoaststampers for the directions to make this diaper fold pouch.

Hope you are having a GOOD day and not "one of those days!"
