Day 3 of Growing In UNITY!

I am having SO much fun, thank you for stopping by today!

This card makes me happy just looking at it.  It always seems like later I think I wish I would have used a kraft card instead of cream or inked the edges or whatever but I love this card!  Even though I didn't emboss *GASP*  I always emboss!  It is my favorite.  But I really wanted to make the paper look like I tore it out of a kraft colored spiral and I didn't want to embossing to crack and pop off in places.  Sometimes I like that to happen.  I guess this time I didn't LOL  I cut in between each hole so they are really separated.  I have never done that before I will definitely do it again.  The paper stamp is from A Love Beyond Measure, one of my fave sets!  That half doily was a free gift from Unity!  Are you guys loving the free gifts with every order as much as I am?  They are so fun and almost as exciting as the stamps!  I love tearing through the box and finding them!  It was white.  I glimmer misted it and it is so sparkly and beautiful!  All the ribbons are from my stash.  This is such a perfect way to use up tiny pieces of leftover ribbon. 

 

I am scheduling these blog posts in case I go visit my sister so it could be sold out now, but the Photos box is still available!  I LOVE this box!  I have the itty bitty one too!  They are AWESOME on my desk and make me smile every time I reach for something!  The flowers are from a recent Hobby Lobby haul I don't remember who made them I put them all in a jar on my flower shelf.  The bird is from Recollections, I love him!  The alpha letters are by Glitz the turquoise lines made it so I would pay any amount for them!  LOL  Lucky for me Michael's had a 40% off alpha sticker sale!

Here is a close up so you can see everything a little bit better.



I make all of my cards from a 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.  I buy A6 envelopes though.  They give me more room for thicker cards and so things can hang off the edge.  A .46 cent stamp still mails them!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Please don't forget to leave a comment for your chance to win 2 free itty bitty's!!

 





Personality: LOVE Yours! My 2nd submission for the Unity DT call!

Hi!  Have you guys submitted anything for the Unity DT call yet?  Angela is probably buried in submissions!  I have the Unity Blog open so I can link to it and Bob Marley is singing Don't worry about a thing, every little thing is gonna be alright..... is playing how appropriate LOL  I was in such a tizzy over submitting to this call. HA!  WHY?  Are you guys?  WHY?  It's all about the fun and the love of a stamp company.  4 of us are going to make it.  The rest of us are going to say DANG those lucky talented girls and get to admire their work.  This is my message to you......   Don't worry!   'Bout a thing, 'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!  :)

I couldn't decide on a tag or a card for my second submission so I combined them  LOL  I started out with a tag that came in one either SMAK or KOM I think.  Unity is so generous with their gifts, I can't keep track of where things came from!  They have these tags available to purchase as well. 

10 for $2.99 Smokin' Deal!  I used 3 different stamps on the tag.  From the kit A Love Beyond Measure. [you can see the entire kit below it is FANTASTIC]  I picked that as my prize when I did Growing In Unity!   

The top part is the square postage one, then the notebook one and the personality.  I LOVE the font!  I love that the a is off kilter sort of like me.  I have been sick for a week and I feel a lot like that a  LOL

 

That heart says choose happy.  Do you love that or what?  That is from an inspired by Ang set called {...Love survives everything}

The pink lace ribbon is by Decorative Trim

The red and brown twine is mine and available HERE.   The pink is from Doodlebug.

The brad is from My Mind's Eye Lush

The paper is from MME's Love Nest

The border punch is Martha's embossed Petals [only it does not emboss so you just get the holes and scallop border]

OK, that is it for me!  I am back to work.

Please take advantage of our Leap Day Sale!  I posted all about it last night.  You can see that HERE!

Thanks for swinging by today!
