Time For A Unity HipHop Hangover Again!

I joined the Unity Hip Hop Hangover again this Friday!  the first card is using the "dress form" from the April KOM (Kit of the Month).  when this set arrived at my doorstep, I stamped that form first thing, I just HAD to, so these have been waiting around awhile for me to do something with them.  I made a background "quilt" with my SU top note die and sewing machine.  The "buttons" are acrylic buttons and shapes from Crate Paper.  Inks used are Riding Hood Red, Soft Suede, Dusty Durango, cardstock is Soft Suede and Crushed Curry, Ribbon is the new SU Crushed Curry!

Second card is using a "flourish flower" from the August KOM and the sentiment "Sweet Nothin's", DS paper is "From My Mind's Eye called "Dreamy"...perfect name!  Inks are SU Kiwi Kiss, Melon Mango, and Bashful Blue...don;t you just love how all these colors work so well together?  Ribbon is a sheer "Old Olive"...but my camera ALWAYS changes the color...dang it!!!

Everyday Holds A Possibility of a Miracle

I did this little wall hanging to hang in my "creative room". My Golden Retriever "Nick" had 5 puppies several years ago. Nick passed away after a years fight to the head with a snake bite. She was such a good "momma" and I wanted to remember that with a my little hanging! I used a stamp from the June KOM from Unity "Everyday holds the possibility of a MIRACLE"...how neat is that??? I had a little dog bone clip, a few eyelets and my NEW ribbon "Soft Suede" from SU to hang it with! It won't take up much room, thats for sure!

Mojo Monday and Unity Beach Days Set Sail!

I loved this sketch from Mojo Monday week 97 !

I keep hearing all the comments about summer being almost gone, how here in Michigan we haven't had much of a summer, but I so disagree! I loved the weather we have had so far, hardly any humidity, high 70's to low 80's, to me its perfect! So all that being said, I did connect with the part about summer being almost gone, so I had to snatch up my newest Unity stamp set "Beach Days" and give it a go! The set is so cute, and I loved this sailboat, so I could just see it sitting in the center of the "mojo monday" sketch! The little starfish are from an EK Sucess punch that I purchased at Michael's for a mere song" of $1.97...how could I resist that? The DS paper is of course a SU retired line, my colors I used are SU Ruby Red and Not Quite Navy, and Real Red CS...........your nice comments are welcome! Oh, and my card looks crooked, its just the dumb way I photographed it!

If you are interested in the Unity Beach Days set, here is the link ,have fun!

It's Friday and Unity Hip Hop Hangover Goes Girlie!

Go here to visit the UNITY blog.

I participated in the Unity Hip Hop this week, a first for me, though I am sure it won't be my last! I visited all the DT blogs and boy oh boy, did they have some awesome creations! I just did my own thing using my latest Unity KOM for July! I went kind of "girlie" and managed to do 2 cards.
The first card I made using the neat pocket stamp, posies and saying "A pocket full of posies", don't you just love these "girlie" colors...so dainty! The DS paper for the pocket is a scrap of my retired SU paper as well as the Baja Breeze CS. I added some brads to the pocket and some bling to the flowers. The flowers were colored with my SU Stampin Write Markers, markers to stamp technique, then stamped. The sentiment was punched with the new SU Modern Label punch!
I did a second card using the heart stamp from the July KOM and turned it into a flower, the watering can and the sentiment are also from the same kit. The DS paper is the new SU Razzleberry Lemonade, and a piece of the new SU Bermuda Bay CS. Thanks, now hiphop on to the next person, you can get to the links HERE !

Unity Monocromatic Cards

I did a couple of cards using my Unity KOM (Kit of the Month) sets for a challenge Unity had going! The challenge was "monocromatic". I chose for my first card a hue of orange colors. It is nice and bright and I sure need that on this 3rd rainy, gloomy, and cool day! Iused the Versa Magic Dew Drop chalk inks for the image and SU Only Orange for the sentiment.

The second card has a more vintage feel to it. I love this bird cage image! Thats what I like so much about being a member of the Unity KOM club, you get at least 20 to 24 stamps in high quality rubber and there is such a variety each month, you should see the ones for June, they are so me! Whoops, here I go off on a different direction, again! I love the sentiment that is part of the bird cage stamp, yep its all one stamp, but they could be used separate, too! The back ground paper for this is from Prima Marketing~Studio D called The First Blush, there are 24 different patterns in this 5 x 7 paper pack and everyone of them is "yummy"! The prima flower is from the same company in their "Nursey Tales" line~

If you want to visit Unity, I have a blinkie on my side bar you can click on~check out those kit of the months, plus all the other great stamps and the designers blogs...so fun....but there is lots to see, so grab a cup of latte and be prepared to stay awhile!
