Falling for Unity Thursday

Hi everyone!!

Has it really been so long since I have been here!!???

The last time I blogged I was wishing everyone fun in the sun!

Summer holidays have now turned into fall.....

Good thing fall is one of my favorite seasons!

I love the colors, the leaves, the crisp air....and cinnamon candles and pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING!!!

And since it's now September the new {unity be inspired challenge} is here too!!

I am completely in LOVE with the colors in this photo....

they are just gorgeous!

Be sure to stop over at the Unity blog to get all the info on how you can join in on the September {be inspired challenge}.

So I used both the card sketch and the color inspiration to create this card:

I was away when this little beauty was released, but I just had to use this birdie....she is truly gorgeous!

{wishing you happiness}

I also created a card with this week's stamp of the week:

{struggle is part of it}

Another sweet little stamp set....

{be inspired} with Unity Thursday

Hi everyone!!

It's that time again....YAY!!

Time for the new Unity {be inspired} challenge!

I chose to play along with the color challenge this month.

I am not much of a Halloween fan, so i decided to use the color inspiration in a masculine card instead....

I was sorting a bunch of papers the other day and came across this oldie from My Mind's Eye - the stars were a perfect match, so I knew right away I was going to use it for my card.

Here's how it turned out:

Not sure why, but masculine cards are always such a challenge for me....I really have to go out of my way and make a point to make them....but I usually end up loving the result.

Hmmm....maybe that means I need to do it more often?

I am thankful that the color challenge got me in the mode!!

Be sure to play along with us this month....all the details are here.

Its a great way to {be inspired}...... and of course, there are prizes!!

I also created a card with this cutie.....

I seriously LOVE my {stamp of the week}'s...

So that's it....
'Guess that means its time to get back to the hop.....

Keeping Cool with Unity

Hi everyone!!

Welcome to another Unity Thursday!

Hot summer days and I have been hanging out in my air conditioning...tsk, tsk, I know...

BUT I can't help it....I am just not a sun goddess...

I have done some camping and fishing. I DO love the outdoors...just not this heat!

Hope you are all finding an oasis or a pleasant way to beat the heat?!

Anyways...good thing one of my favorite things to do happens to be an "indoor" hobby...

CARDMAKING....it really never gets old for me. NEVER.

Here are my happy creations this week...

I created this card with the July KOM

{beautiful - inside and out}

A couple of weeks ago I shared a card similar to this one using the same stamp set....BUT my guy asked if I would make another one for his mama's birthday...

he even picked out the colors this time (which are similar to the other card)...

I am loving how fun this background stamp is using distress inks, a spray bottle of water, and watercolor paper....so, so easy but the way it turns out....LOVE IT!

{let's get sip faced}

This week we have TWO amazing Unity filled PRIZE PACKAGES to give away.

I am SO jealous of this week's prize!!! I seriously have an addiction to the {itty bitty} stamps!

I hope whoever wins loves them as much as I do....
