FRIDAY. Flair. Unity. Paper Crafts.

YIPEE!! What a wonderful week. Are you ready for the topper? :)

Well first...let me give you some background.

I am one of the luckiest women around.

I get to work with AMAZING WOMEN. ALL of whom I CALL friends.

These women {and those other women (all you UNITY GALS) & even those Unity boys not pictured} have brought me such joy, inspiration and encouragement. I am SO grateful!

Today I am going to combine my love of Unity & Paper Crafts.

All week long, we have been celebrating Unity's 2nd year anniversary.

Paper Crafts Connection is joining the party. :)

Be sure to hop on over there for a chance to WIN some UNITY!!! :)

I am sure you all love Paper Crafts as much as me. The inspiration is endless.

So grab your Paper Crafts May/June issue and let's get inspired. :)

Take that lovely Thank You Photo card from Deb Rymer on p. 46. WOWZERS. Such a perfect Father's Day card, right? Well I thought so! Here is what it inspired from me....

Okay. On to p. 73. Maile Belles took ribbon scraps to a NEW LEVEL. I am in LOVE!! :) Here is my take......

Stamps: Garden Variety

Post 1 of 2: Flip FOR Unity.

It is THURSDAY! Time for SOME Unity. And boy...do I have SOME. HA! And then SOME more. :)

I have been working on my CHA Winter mini album. It is NOT done yet. I still have some serious journaling to do...but most of the stamping is done and it is bound so I figured I can share it with you. :)

Of course, nothing ever works out like you plan, right? I intended to have a page for each DT member who I saw in CA...my roomies Jimmi & AJ, Renee' (my fab travel companion), sweet Natalie, talented Kimber, gorgeous Robyn, and genuine Jessica. :) WELL...my little (& NEW) Bind It All couldn't take any more pages...it is about busting through right now! IT could be that I am NEW to this cool contraption or that I am just can't NOT put lots of pictures, chipboard & embellishments in the album. Sorry ladies. I am going to have to figure out a DIFFERENT book for us! :)

Can you believe that this is my 3rd CHA album? YIKES! You can check out the others here: CHA Summer 2009 Album & CHA Winter 2009 Album.

This mini album is a flipbook. Each of the Unity peeps either flips UP or OUT to show more pictures. FUN STUFF! I used the ALL NEW Cosmo Cricket Lines- Material Girl & Joy Ride.
