Are you playing the itty bitty a day challenge on FB?

It would be just plain crazy if you weren't!  Come on!!
Head over HERE and join us!
I didn't get to play yesterday.  I was at the zoo with my darling girls.  Who refused to let me take their picture.  Truthfully Carlee refused and I wasn't going to make Morgan while Carlee was crying.  I was mad as you know what.  WHY she tortures me like that is beyond me.  Let me know if you want to see turtles, giraffes or flamingos.  Or even a cool eagle that is so polite he crosses his feet when he sits!

This is a terrible picture and I am so sorry!  I am in a huge hurry and behind at work so I quickly just snapped it.
I have become a Glimmer Mist junkie.  I cannot get enough of that shimmery goodness!  It is pretty hard to tell in the picture but I spayed the bottom doily with 2 coats to make it darker.  I learned a new thing too!  When I sprayed the pink azalea the chestnut brown color from the paper towel in the box from the previous sprays soaked up into the pink.  Can you see it?   Look on the dark pink bottom layer to the left.  Coolest thing ever!!  Tonight I am going to use oyster on it and see what happens.
Oh wait we are here for the itty bitty!!  One of my favorite things Unity does is mix up fonts on most of their kits.  When they mix it up in a saying you can bet your last dollar it will be one of my favorites!  This one is from Good Times and you should own it!  It also comes with flowers that are super fun to paper piece!
Speaking of flowers. 
Dear GOD,
Thank you for giving me my Sister, Carla!
Love, Noelle
This pile of flowers is what happened when I had to work and she said I need some dictionary paper and those vintage buttons we bought and some twine.
Goodness!  It is a pile of shimmery awesome lovely flowers! 
[I think if you click on it, it will get bigger and you can see the shimmer]When I run out I am jumping in my car and making more with her all day long.  I saw her little crumbled up balls of 'trash'.  I handed her what she requested but DANG I didn't know she would have a pile this this in just an hour while I worked!  I honestly don't know what dies she even used.  I could search my stash and figure it out if you want me to!
Come join us!  You could win this itty bitty!!  ANY itty bitty!  SCORE!!
Thanks for stopping by today!
Here is your bonus!
 That little white ball of fluff is a baby flamingo *swoon*
 
This is an eagle that sitting cross legged *so cute*

It is so simple!!
Good Gravy an itty bitty a day?  How perfect!!
I used a Webster's itty bitty called Celebrate I love the sailboat, but the sentiment screams Birthday to me so I paired it with a Sizzix cupcake.
Come play with us!  I am not sure how long it will last but for now it is a daily thing.  Check it out HERE.

Friends With Flair on a Saturday! SCORE!!!

I have been making or trying to 10 minute cards to sell in my girlfriend's chocolate shop!
My fabulous sister helped me come up with idea while I worked during her last visit.
I LOVE her!
Carla made the top card I adore that shade of brown but it is too thin.  The red on the hearts bled through to the other side.  She didn't like that my brown pad was too dry.  I actually love how faint the wine bottle is I think it looks really great.  But I threw the pad out it was completely trashed.  Those chestnut roan ColorBox pads tear up beyond repair when you use them on every single card LOL 
 I made 6 of these in about 2 hours.  But I have a super chatty 5 year old so nothing gets done in a reasonable amount of time.  She likes to be looked at when she speaks and she only stops speaking to take a breath.  *snort*  When she starts school in August I might be able to make a 10 minute card.  HA!
The Shall We UnWINEd itty bitty is so stinkin' cute I can't stand it and I don't even like wine!  It is also on sale for $3.79!  You better go grab it!
The bling is from KI Memories and the Twine is my own, let me know if you need any!  Always free shipping!
Thanks for stopping by today!

Then once you make something with it run over to FaceBook HERE and Like their page then add your picture. Then guess what?  You could win a guest spot on their DESIGN TEAM!  I can't even say it.  I have to shout it and maybe jump up and down.  And guess what else?  100 random stamps!  If you know me at all. Even a tiny bit.  You know that alone is enough to practically stop my heart.  If you win you have to throw them on the floor and roll around in them!  *snort*
Here is the problem It is a color challenge LOL  I don't color well.  Or at all really  LOL
I got out my Radiant Pearls and painted it.  I thought with colors *THAT* beautiful I might have a shot *snort*
You can't really tell, but I cut out the flowers and then popped them up.  I also popped up the card base. 
Then I covered everything in Glimmer Mist.  The shimmer is unreal.  My pictures don't do it justice!
Thanks for stopping by today!
Come play with us!

Growing in Unity Winner! :)

WOW WOW WOW!!!
There were so many comments there was no way I could put them all in a box and have Carlee draw one.  So I had Carlee pick Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday and she picked Friday!!
Then I had Morgan pick a number from 1 thru 26 and she picked 24!
So:
I have enjoyed your week of post... even if I read them all in one day. You both have given us some great inspiration.
