I'm BACK!!!

WOW! I can't believe I took such a long break from posting. I am so sorry. I was working on getting some deadlines & school work done and then Calvin & I got sick. :( Luckily, it hasn't moved on to the rest of the family. :) I thought he was good enough to go on the school field trip to the pumpkin patch yesterday and we are paying for it today. He is already down for a nap. :(

So what have I missed???


***Lots of exciting stuff happening over at the Torendi blog- Design Team Competition & Torendi Spottings. :) Be sure to check it out and cast your vote! :)


I used a POP Frame from the Taste of Torendi kit and the Boyfriend chipboard letters & football for the first one. It was super quick and is for Jordan's last game tonight. It will be played at the local high school stadium under the lights! How exciting!!


The second card is from this month's Joy kit. :) Such a perfect name for this kit!

Okay...more to come the next few days as I get back in the swing of things. Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!! :)

Unity Store Kit!

Here are some cards made with the Wonderful You Stamping Store Kit from Unity.

Look- NO ribbon on the first one! :) Believe me, I tried to fit one in but it just looked better without it. The paper is from the Little Sprout line by Fancy Pants Designs. I also used a Martha Stewart punch along the paper edge. The hearts are actually stamped in 3 different shades of pink/red and popped up.

This one is so simple! Just a bit of 7gypsies Barcelona patterned paper and another Martha punch!

Another one with kraft paper! :) The snowflakes were stamped in white craft ink from SU. I used another Martha punch for the bottom row of snowflakes and then stamped the sentiment inside of the snowman. This one could easily be mass produced for holiday cards! :)

I used some of the Indian Summer patterned paper from Basic Grey on this one. The coffee cups are paper pieced and I finished it off with a May Arts bow! :)

Be sure to check out the list of stores that carry the kit so you can get your hands on it! :) Now head on over to the the Unity blog for a list of inspirational links! :)

Friends with Flair & Funk! :)

I am running a bit late this morning. I stayed out later than usual and had a hard time getting going. :) I am so happy that today is Friday and we have a relaxing weekend at home planned. :)

I went a bit funky on this first one. Not sure if I like it or not but it is different! :) I used the October Kit of the Month: Wherever You Go and some Sassafras Lass paper.
I am out of white cardstock so had to use my glossy stash for this one. It was super quick, outside of letting the ink dry! :) Again, the image & sentiment are from the October Kit of the Month.


Do you have a card making/technique question? Be sure to send it to gotogals@papercraftsmag.com. Your question could be featured in the Paper Crafts magazine!! :)

Be sure to see the entire list of Friends with Flair on the Unity Blog HERE for some amazing inspiration!! :)
