Inspired Hop

Happy Thursday!
Hip Hop day!
Don't forget to start over at the Unity blog.
You don't want to miss a thing!!

Ok...I have to admit.
I DON'T do Pinterest.
I really don't even get it.
I see things 'pinned' on facebook and sometimes even 'like' them but that is the extent of my pin knowledge.
So...when some of the Unity dt gals started talking about it...I thought I would check it out.
I sorta of 'invited' myself.
And...I am still on a 'wait-list'. :(
Is it some social group I have been left of out? :)
The sweet thing is....I can still peek at the pinned stuff.
I can still be inspired....sort of like an outsider spying on the cool stuff.
AND....YES...I do see why it is so addicting...there is a TON of eye candy there.
A plethora of inspiring images.

AND....YES...I was inspired.

Isn't this butterfly GORGEOUS?
YUM!
It reminded me of a UNITY butterfly.............................

It inspired THIS SMAK layout. :)


stamps: Jan SMAK Without You What Would I Do?

Be sure to hop on over to the AMAZING Natalie.
I would 'pin' her.
If I could.
She is INSPIRING. :)

A Few Saturday Cards....

Hope your Saturday is going well.
I have a wonderful 3 day weekend.
No big plans either.
Sweats. Naps. Football. Games. Crafting. Movies.
My kind of weekend.

Here are a few cards for today........

I sewed some tissue paper on this first one.
It gives it a really sweet texture.
We actually had some sun today too.
I bet it was this card that got it going, right? HA!

stamps: You Are My Sunshine

Can you tell this is the world?
Just a little tear of some green cardstock.

stamps: A Little Destination

And...YES...this is a mustache!
I just ADORE the EP mustaches.
SO...I was inspired to make one.

stamps: Favorite Mustache, Just Polka Dots

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. :)

Heart & Soul

Here are a couple creations with the January Kit of the Month: Heart & Soul.

This first one, I was playing around with some markers.
I forget how much I like the multicolored flowers.
I cut out and popped up the frame around the flower.
Fairly quick.
VERY clean.
I have a friend & coworker who is needing a little pick me up. I think this one will do just fine. :)


I ADORE the butterfly in this kit.
I stamped it out in all the colors of the rainbow {well...almost..} and layered them.

Have a splendid day.

Hip Hop LOVE.

Happy Thursday!
Hope you are having a MARVELOUS 2012!
Did you make any resolutions?
I am guilty.
Yep.
I make them every year knowing that they may not last the ENTIRE year but long enough to make it worth trying.

SO.....guess what.....three of them are crafty resolutions!

Any guesses?


1. TRY to keep my craft room clean....{try being the KEY word}
When you have TOO much stuff...it gets hard. That is my excuse anyways. :)

2. SCRAP more......{Lots of Unity images to keep me motivated, right!}

3. ATTEMPT Project 365 again.
Last year I broke my lens only a few weeks in.
So far...I have missed 1 day. oops.
But I am not discouraged. :)
1-1
1-2
1-4

Did you make any crafty resolutions?
Be sure to share! :) {it helps keep us honest, don't ya think?}


There is SOME exciting things happening over at Unity. Read about it HERE.

Here is my card for today. Isn't that elephant adorable? <3

stamps: Love You Tons

Now head on over to Miss Natalie.

New Year. New Month

2012!!!!

A New Kit of the Month: Heart & Soul

A New UNITY Kit of the Month Sketch Challenge posted HERE.

Here is my take:

Stamps used: Dec KOM Filled With Love

Happy NEW YEAR!

KOM 2011 Flashback.

Happy New Year's Eve. :)

Are you ready for 2012?
WELL.....it is coming whether we are ready or not! :)

Those years just seem to come faster and faster, don't ya think?
Another year means 12 more amazing sheets of rubber.
The Kit of the Month.
It is what Unity started with.
It still is the heart of it, in my opinion.
Each month....new images....diverse....fresh....trendy.
I am never NOT amazed with what Angela can whip together from those amazing Unity Artistas!
So let's flashback.

December- Filled With Love


October- Faith, Hope, Love....Live By It


September- All Seasons


August- What I Know


June- All Smiles


May- Think Happy Thoughts


April- Small Things Matter Most


March- Just You!
