deets:

Stamp:  Unity Stamp Co

Patterned Paper:  My Minds Eye

Ribbon:  Really Reasonable Ribbon

Card Stock:  Michaels

Sorry it's been so long.  I had so many computer issues over the last week.  I am trying to work my way out of the back-log that created.  It's amazing how behind you can get when your computer decides it's not going to work for you anymore.  Ugh.  Wish they were easier!  ;-)

Hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Hip HOP...St. Patty's! :-)

I've been a bit out of the loop for the last few days.  Ever have one of those moments when everything seems to go wrong all at once?  My computer has decided that it no longer wants to work for me and once I get that fixed I will have to share the photo of my phone which had a fight with the garage floor.  Guess who won?  Note to self....always BACK it UP!  Ugh! 

I'm here with hip hop...on a borrowed computer so bear with me....and be sure and check out the Unity site for all of today's specials!  Unity cuteness always helps to ease my mind.  ;-)  I'm going to share my card that I created for this weeks Stamp of the Week as all of the other projects I have are 'locked' down in my macbook that at the moment...well, you got that earlier....

I do LOVE this card, it's just not what I had intended to share so be on the lookout...MUCH Unity goodness coming in the days ahead...once the electronic world decides to play fair. 

Here's my card for today....

I do LOVE this image.  It's one of my favorites.  I apologize for not having the deets...that's in the other computer.  The most important thing is the BEAUTIFUL image!  :-)

Now it's time to head on over to Jimmi's blog.

Hope you all have a wonderful day and that you enjoy the hop!

Ippity - Hot Off the Press

Hey Peeps.  Back with a couple of samples with today's NEW Ippity release!  Have you seen the FANTABULOUS images?  They are SUPER cute!  Check it and all things Ippity & Unity here.

Here are my samples for the new Ippity stamps.....

Can I tell you how many ways I {heart} this one.  Counting cupcakes as fruit.  LOVE that!

One more....

Another cutie.  This is one of my favorites.  I thought it went perfectly with my Jillibean Soup papers.

Enjoy your day!

Unity & CPS

Back with another fun sketch from Tami at CPS.  You can see the sketch and play along here.  Here's my take on this weeks sketch.....

deets:

stamp:  Unity Stamp Co {March KOTM 2012}

patterned paper:  My Minds Eye

ribbon:  SU

buttons:  PTI

I'm using this month's Kit of the Month from Unity.  I love this kit.  These stamps really spoke to me.  Ever have one of those moments....you know....all your little 'chicks' aren't quite listening, there's a mess in every direction, the miles on my 'taxi' just keep going up....  ;-) Every now and again a card like this is perfect.  I always thank God for my little ones and at the end of the day cannot even imagine a single MOMENT without them, but sometimes you just need a breath.  ;-)

Hope you are all having a great day.  I will be back soon.

Hip HOP!

It's so good to be back in the hop.  I've missed the Unity gang so much!  Today is especially fun since it's the first day of the March KOTM.  The KOTM has long been one of my favorites for it's versatility.  I love the different stamps that come in each kit.  They always cover so many occasions.  

My card today is using the March kit with the Unity sketch challenge.  Take a look C....

My Sweet Unity

It's been far to long since I've posted for Unity.  I've been on a bit of a hiatus and it's so good to be back.  I'm excited to share some samples of the new Susan Weckesser stamps.  I will have another to share tomorrow.  Take a peek at today's....

How cute is that little snowman!  LOVE him!  This felt like the perfect sample for today.  It decided to get cold here again.  I shouldn't be complaining, we've had a VERY mild winter so far.  I think I've gotten used to the 'warmer' weather!  When it started lightly snowing yesterday it was a bit depressing.  Viola!  The perfect card for that type of weather!  :-)

You can find more about this stamp and the rest of the line at the Unity site.  I will post more tomorrow.

Hugs!

Wire Works

Hey Peeps!  It's time for a Flower Soft Wire Works challenge.  Each month the DT is 'challenged' to come up with creating a project using Flower Soft wires.  This month I came up with something a bit EPLS {easy peasy, lemon squeezy}.  Take a peek....

I opted to color my wire and use it instead of twine for the tie in my button.  EPLS...but a nice touch in a pinch.  The image is from the Mabel Lucie Attwell line.  The patterned paper is from Jillibean Soup.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday, Dear Friend!

I'm so excited to be part of my sweet friend, Kimber's birthday blog hop!  I fell in love with Kimber the first time we met.  She is such a sweet person and SOOOO much fun to hang out with.  When I sat down to create a card for this hop I started to go with a traditional birthday and then this little stamp just jumped right out at me....

Perfect!  ;-)  'You make me happy when skies are 'gray''....yes, I can see Kimber shaking her head right now.  :-) You have been such a great friend, Kimber!  It just seemed perfect.  :-) Thanks for always being there!  Hope that you have the MOST wonderful birthday EVER!  {Oh, and Evan says you don't look a day over 29!  Gotta LOVE him!}

FSC43 - Step-It-Up!

Hey Peeps!  Flower Soft challenge time.  This weeks challenge is to choose a card from any DT members blog or the Flower Soft blog and 'step-it-up'.  You can either upload your creation to your own blog or to SCS using the keyword FSC43.  Please also let us know which card you are using for inspiration by linking it as well.  

Link your cards HERE at the Flower Soft blog.

You have until Jan 30 to enter this challenge and this gives you a chance to win the Mabel Lucie Attwell Kit#8.  

The DT has been using this kit this week to create our own 'stepped-up' versions.  Take a peek at mine....

The paper for this one is from Jillibean Soup as is the little sentiment dot.  The ribbon is old....I have NO clue where I got this from!  Thinks it's an old SU.

CPS & Unity

Hey Peeps!  Getting ready for game time here....I am writing this on Monday night as we wait for the BCS game to start.  LSU fans in the house here!  :-)  Geaux Tigers!

....Oh yeah....you didn't come here for that.  ;-)  On to the card!  {I hope I am in a good mood while you are reading this 'cause the Tigers won...}

Today I am sharing one that uses this weeks CPS card sketch and a funny little one from Unity Stamp Co.  Take a peek.....

How funny is that.  It seemed fitting for this one.  A friend of mine was having a really 'crappy' day Sunday and that is what inspired it.

Hope we are all having a WONDERFUL {NON Crappy} day today....only going to happen for me if LSU wins!  ;-)

Hugs you guys!  Post you soon!
