FRIENDS WITH FLAIR FRIDAY

 

This is a card I made for the recent event on Splitcoast Stampers benefiting breast cancer patients at MD Anderson.  I used the images from the Unity October KOM.  LOVE this bird!!!  The paper is from Echo Park and I used it to make a scene.  FUN card!

This is another card I made for the same event, using more stamps from the October KOM. The paper is by Bazzill.  Had a lot of fun using the images from the October KOM for this event.  I also used a punch by Stampin Up and the inks were also by Stampin Up.

FRIENDS WITH FLAIR FRIDAY

This is a card I made for the Graphic 45 challenge to make a thank you card and for the Unity kit of the month challenge to make a fall card.  I love this paper by Graphic 45 and I used the new Samantha Walker stamps Ornate Artisan Stackers along with the coordinating Spellbinders die.  I also used two stamps from the Orchard Harvest stamps that I received in a random bag with an order--LOVE these.  I "fussy cut" some flowers from another sheet of Graphic 45 paper as well as the leaves and frame from the Orchard Harvest stamps.  I used a punch by Stampin Up for the sentiment, which is from the Ornate Artisan Stackers set.  The ink I used was by Ranger and the cardstock was by WorldWin. 

 This is a card I made for the Unity Sketch challenge using Echo Park Paper and the October kit of the month.  I used Bazzill cardstock, a Marvy punch, and ink by Stampin Up and Memento.  I also used a UniBall white pen for the dots.  This card was also made for the "Hope You can Cling To" event at Splitcoast Stampers. 

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop.  Don't forget to leave comments along the hop for a chance to win a fabulous Unity stamp set.  I hope you have a fabulous weekend.

FRIENDS WITH FLAIR FRIDAY OPERATION WRITE HOME

This is a card I made for Operation Write Home.  My LSS, Cat's Creations Scrapbooks, has started participating in this program.  We meet every other month and create cards for our troops to send home to their family and friends.  On this card, I used the Unity stamp set, Birdie Duet, which was a prize I won.  LOVE this set - the cage is fabulous and the quotes are wonderful.  It was a prize when Emily Leiphart and Lisa Arana did their "Take Two" week long event where they each did a daily project using the same stamp set, thus showing two ways to use it.  Really enjoyed their event and was thrilled to win this stamp set, which was on my wish list.  For this card, the music note paper is from Fancy Pants, the bird is cut out from some paper by My Little Shoebox as is the green paper the cage is stamped on.  The sentiment is stamped on a tag from an unknown source.  The fibers are from my stash and I used Stampin Up ink and chalk ink by SEI.  Really liked how this card came together.  


Quick request.  Please say a prayer for those who are affected by the wildfire that is once again at Possum Kingdom Lake near where I live.  There was a huge wildfire in this same area back in April and 160 homes were lost.  So far, over 30 homes have been lost this time.  Texas is in dire need of rain and the entire state, less two counties, is under a burn ban.  There are numerous wildfires in the state, this is just the one that is close to where I live.  I wish we could just divert some of the floodwaters left by hurricane Irene down to our drought stricken state.  That would help the people in the path of the floodwaters and our state.  


Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the creations on the hop.  Don't forget to leave comments on each blog for a chance to win a Unity stamp set.  Have a fabulous Labor Day weekend.

FRIENDS WITH FLAIR SKETCH INSPIRATION

These are layouts I did for Sketch Inspiration #232 using the new Reminisce fall papers.  These papers went perfectly with the photos I had from a vacation my sister and I took in Arkansas in 2005.  I used stamps from the Melody Ross "A Girl & Her Adventures" on Bazzill cardstock using Stampin Up inks.  LOVE this set of stamps and was so pleased when it was included in one of the "garage sales".  I also used stamps from the Technique Tuesday Studio AE June Kit of the Month.  It went perfectly with this layout.  The flower was made using yarn from my stash and a Gluber from cosmo cricket.  I made the leaves and rosette using the Alterations die by Tim Holtz for Sizzix.  Other supplies used were flowers by Basic Grey, on the edge by Bazzill, corner chomper by WeRMemory Keepepers, and my Signo white pen.  Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the blogs.  Don't forget to leave a comment on each blog for a chance at a prize from Unity.

FRIENDS WITH FLAIR

I needed a sympathy card and used this wonderful sentiment stamp from the Unity May KOM.  I used the blossom punch from Stampin Up and papers from Daisy D to make the fabulous flower.  The music note paper is from Crate paper and the sticker strips are from Creative Imaginations.  I used some 7 Gypsies tape and another punch from Stampin Up.  The kraft paper and the cardstock are from the Paper Studio.  LOVE how this turned out.  

FRIENDS WITH FLAIR POST-IT NOTE HOLDER

This is a Post-It note holder I made for a Copic Class I taught at my local scrapbook store.  We take turns teaching the classes and since I had always wanted to make one of these, I chose to do this for the class I taught.  The paper is by Little Yellow Bicycle and the doily paper behind the image is by Basic Grey.  The tape across the bottom is by 7 Gypsies--love that tape!!!  The image is one of my very favorites from the "She Sprouted Wings" set and went beautifully with the butterflies on the paper.  Thanks to the recent warehouse sale, I was able to load up on some of the Melody Ross sets.  LOVE her images and was so glad to add to my collection.  Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to leave comments on each blog for a chance to win some fabulous Unity stamps. 

P.S. - Unity is having a WONDERFUL sale.  Just click on the link and check it out! 

FRIENDS WITH FLAIR

This is a page out of my Soul Restoration art journal.  I used some Basic Grey paper, artwork from the Soul Restoration curriculum, and stamps from the She Did it Anyway set.  LOVE the birds from this set and, of course, they go perfectly with the Soul Restoration course since Melody Ross designed them with the Brave Girl Camp in mind.  LOVE these!!!

Short post today.  Leaving in an hour or so for Oklahoma to visit friends.  Enjoy your hop today and thanks for stopping by.  Don't forget that there will be a set of stamps given away to a commenter on one of the blogs participating in the hop today.  Have a fabulous weekend and enjoy Father's Day with your dad.
