And here is my layout :)


The title of it is Say What? because Raine came up with this joke:
Knock, Knock
Who's there??
Hannah Montana
Hannah Montana who?
Hannah Montana say what?

Raine thinks it is hilarious so I snapped some pictures of her while she was telling me the joke and I loved how the photo's came out! :)

Friday Friends with Flair kick off! :)

Today is the first day of a new Unity tradition. We are out with the old (Hip Hop Hangover) and we are in the with the new (Friday Friends with Flair) :)

I can't wait to see what else Angela has in store for us when it comes to new stuff :) I know whatever it is will be fabulous!

I came up with a pretty simple card:


I stamped the background and the pink card stock with Hearts of Old, and then used the bird image from the August 09 KOM. :) I thought this fun American Crafts ribbon would be a good addition.

The sketch is from this weeks Limelight Papercrafts challenge. :)

Now if you are just starting to check out the Friday Friends with Flair hop, start at the Unity blog :)

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Hip Hop Hangover!

Wow... I haven't done a hip hip hangover in quite a while! Thanks for stopping by my blog to see what I have to share with you! :)
Unity has been a company I have loved for almost 1 year now, and I love how well I am treated as a customer! Unity definitely will continue to keep getting my service! :)
I decided since it was the last hip hop(sad, but we all know Angela will bring something amazing to the table for us customers) I wanted to participate this week. I decided to go with a nice and easy CAS card :)

I took my kraft card stock, then score some border lines on it, took some more kraft and matted it with choc. chip card stock. I stamped the bird on the branch image from the August 09 KOM, and the matching sentiment. I masked the branch and stamped on my ink pad with white ink, then did the chestnut roan ink, and then added the olive to the leaves. Added some pretty and ribbon and that was it! Easy! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Angela, thank you for always caring so deeply about your customers. You, and your team and your incredible customer service are what keep me coming back time and time again :)

One last HIP HOP!!!!!!

School Time Card

Just a quick post today! :)

Right when I saw the schoolhouse image from the August Unity KOM, I knew I wanted to pair it up with numbers ect, and some lined paper. Then I decided that some bright school colors would be a fun touch. :) So here is what I ended up with from those ideas:


I colored the image with my BIC mark its.
Other supplies used were:
August 09 Unity KOM
Numbers Etc.- Unity Stamp Co
SU card stock
white lined paper
black thread
pop dots
SU ribbon


Thanks for stopping by! :)

EIC 50

Hi there! :) This weeks Etsy Inspired Challenge shop is Miss Kwitty's Cottage. She has such gorgeous things in her shop, especially the ones with all the little birds! :)
Here is my inspiration piece:

And here is my layout:

Now the reason this layout came from this inspiration piece, is because when we were at Disney I took pictures of some gorgeous flowers, and the one above reminded me of them.. so I decided to make a Disney layout :)
Here is the prize Mrs. Kwitty's Cottage is giving away:

This week we have a digital stamp co. that has generously decided to sponsor this weeks prize! :) The company is called Ildi Co. They are going to be giving away 3 digital stamps of the winners choice, and also 10% of the winners next purchase from Ildi Co. Cool right?

So to play along you have to go the Mrs. Kwitty's Cottage shop, find an inspiration piece, create something incredible like I know you will, link it up to Ashley's blog, and you are entered! :) Easy peasy!
