I'm hung up on you, Greg!!

My husband is awesome! I just had my 45th birthday and he sent me flowers, bought me jewelry, and reminded my son to call me:) Most of all, he kept telling me that, "NO, you're not an old lady!!" Today, after he worked a half day, he took me to return a birthday gift and generally drive me places. I'm so lucky to have him and I love him SO much!!

Happy Friends with Flair!!

Happy Friday! Today's card is CAS and simple, just like it's saying! I love the saying, "Just be You!" because it is something that I work on all the time. Being a wife, mother, teacher, friend and more can have you spinning in lots of different directions. Sometimes I just need to slow myself down and just get in touch with myself. I have some alone time coming this weekend and I'm looking forward to doing just that!
The images from my card are from Unity's Dec 10 KOM. I don't see this kit on line, but you can find out about the KOM club here. There are three small, yellow dewdrops in between each flower. I stamped the image on white, then matted it on black, then matted it on black gingham dp.
Hope you have an awesome weekend! If you get time, check out these awesome itty bitty stamps from Unity. Good things DO come in small packages!:)

Toether is a wonderful place

Good morning!! I did it!! I made a goal for myself to get ALL the stamps from the Dec10 KOM inky and this morning I finished. I tried to stay up late last night to finish, but I ended up with one image to ink this morning. I had a blast! Lots of cards to come:)

I am entering this in the Unity Addicts Challenge to color an image. I used a combination of copic and Stampin' UP markers to color my image. I am slowly adding to my copic marker stash, so I didn't have all the colors I needed in copics. I didn't do any shading either, because the coloring areas seemed to small for it.

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday!!

Friends with Flair!!

Hello Friends with Flair! I'm SO HAPPY that it's Friday:) I'm certainly agreeing with the sentiment on my card today! I made this card using the Hip Hop Sketch Challenge from Unity. I got a chance to ink up some images from Unity's Dec10 KOM that I hadn't used yet. I just LOVE them:) I don't see the stamp set on the Unity website yet, but I'm sure it'll be there soon if you didn't get yours yet. I used some cute paper from my stash and some vintage ric rac to make my card. In case you can't tell, the framed image has the words "Happiness is always available." What a nice thought that is!!

I hope that YOU have a HAPPY weekend:)

In case you're looking to join Unity's awesome kit of the month club...

Martini Riley

Happy 2011!! January is a month of birthdays for me and I made this card for one of my friends at work. The image is Martini Riley! I love that moose! He always seems to be having a good time, even in the midst of misadventures:) I used a fun and funky background paper because that's just how my friend is!! The image panel is popped up to add a bit of dimension. I used the JUGs Sketch Challenge for this week as the sketch for my card.
