You Are My Heart.....

Today is Thursday....UNITY DAY! :) I made another lo! I know....crazy huh? This picture is of Calvin. He is such A CALVIN. :)
I finally took him in to the doctor for an injury he sustained over Thanksgiving (it still hasn't healed) to find out that it might calcify and never go away. Ugh. SO I wanted to capture it here....do you notice a 'joker-like' smile? The injury is on his cheek and makes it a bit botox-like.
Just a simple lo of my lil' man. I used this month's kit: Savor the Journey.




Be sure to hop on over to the Unity blog for a list of inspiration as well as a list of all specials.
Savor each moment today! :)

Always In My Heart

Here is a quick & easy card for today's color challenge on SCS that uses the new Happy Hearts set from Gina K. :) Another busy day today......

Clean & Simple Monday

The Monday peeps decided to go with SUPER EASY for this Monday. :) This card uses the new Lizzie Anne Design single: Box of Chocolates.
I made a quick set of 3x3 cards with just the A Little Love set, black ink, Marth Stewart string, a red copic & my paper piercer. I think I might be able to make 25 more of these! :)

Be sure to hop on over and see what the other gals created:
AJ, Amber, Jennifer, Jimmi & Jeanne

Have a sweet day. :)

A Lovely Sunday

:) I had some time to play around with the new Lizzie Anne Designs releases today. The following all use Vintage Valentine.

I hope that you are having a LOVELY Sunday too. :)

***a few of you asked what paper I used on yesterday's cards...sorry I have been lazy and not posting all the info...I promise to do better after I get caught & back from CHA... :) The polka dot paper was from We R Memory Keepers (Merry & Bright collection) & the fungus card used BoBunny pattern paper****

Livin' and Lovin' Life

Isn't the STORE kit a must have? Truth be told, there was a time when I actually WANTED to be a mycologist and study fungus. I am a bit odd, I know... but it is true. :)
So this kit {Livin' and Lovin' Life} was a MUST for me. :) I think I just might keep this card for myself. :)

Be sure to hop on over to the Unity blog!

Have a FAB day...from a FUNgal. :) HA!

A Bit Crazy....

but I have some Halloween cards to share. :) It is Friday after all...so crazy is okay, right?

Yep...I KNOW it is only January...but....well...I am swamped and have no time to post anything new. I found a few unposted creations..they just happen to be Halloween. Is that cheating? :) There will be NEW stuff tomorrow...and it won't be HALLOWEEN either. Promise. :)

BTW-

-Did you know that Lizzie Anne Designs is releasing NEW sets today? Check them out HERE.

-Friends w/ Flair is UP. Check it out HERE.

-You still have time to play along with my Tuesday Trigger. Check it out HERE-- there is also another challenge for you to play along with and other inspiration....just scroll down for the trigger.

Have a FUN Friday! :)

{Unity} DAY!!

Yeah for Thursdays!! :) Here are SOME super quick cards for you. I used this month's amazing KIT- Savor the Journey. There are AMAZING incentives for joining the KOM so if you have been putting it off....get TO IT! :) Be sure to check out the Unity BLOG for more details on today's specials.

I scored the top portion of this one to make some embossed lines. The trim along the bottom is slightly cut into to make sure it doesn't cover the heart. :)

So white, right? :)

'Just a little bit SLOW'- that should be my motto. :) Until I get my sewing machine fixed (it has been MONTHS & MONTHS & MONTHS) or I get a new one, I am stuck with faux stitching. :(

Yep. This is purple. HA! Anything is possible on a Thursday. :)

Hope that you have an absolutely ZANY Thursday. :)

More Clean & Simple Love

My list is getting shorter but there is still SO much to do before CHA. Yikes!

So here are a few QUICK cards for today. :) Not a lot to explain with them...just a bit of paper. The first card is stamped, slightly colored and then framed with a bling sticker.

Have a LOVELY Wednesday. :)
