Friends with Flair

This is a "get well/thinking of you" card that I made for a friend.  I thought I would post it for the Friends with Flair challenge at the Unity website.  I have really been busy with scrapbook layouts lately, so busy that I am getting behind in posting!  I will take some pictures of the layouts and post them soon! 

Here's a close up of the beautiful Unity stamp...

Thanks for looking and have a blessed day!

St. Patrick's Day Wreath

Pinterest has filled my mind with many ideas for crafts, especially wreaths!  Today's post is another wreath that was very easy to create.  First I cut shamrocks out with my Silhouette, decorated them and then tied a piece of tulle to the top!  Easy peasy!

God bless!

“Lovely” Layout

Here’s another Senior picture layout of my daughter.  This is the picture she chose to go in the yearbook, she looks amazing!  I used MME Lost and Found paper and some random stickers from a grab bag I got at a crop.  I’m not even sure what brand they are, but they were perfect for this layout. 

When I was trying to make the paper flower match the paper, I had an wonderful discovery that I wanted to share!  First, here’s a close up…

I used Distress Ink in Tea Stain then covered the flower with clear embossing powder and hit it with the heat gun.  The result looks like leather!  I looks so neat!

Enjoy and God Bless!

“A Boy and His Thumb” Layout

 

 

I recently started trying to catch up my son’s scrapbook, it has just seemed hard for me to find paper, embellishments and a style that was boyish.  I love My Mind’s Eye Alphabet Soup line and also the Lime Twist line for his layouts.  I still struggle with embellishments, it’s hard to stay away from frilly stuff!  Anyway, for this layout I used both of the MME lines listed above and some Unity/Echo Park stamps.  I love this layout because it captures my son at several stages (even as a newborn) with his favorite blanket and his thumb.  I found a poem that I used as journaling, I changed to words around some. 

Anyway, Enjoy and God Bless!

“Love You” Layout

Today I have a layout using a few of my favorite products and scrapbooking a few of my favorite people! 

For this layout I used MME “So Sophie” collection and various Unity itty bitty stamps.  These pictures were taken in the Great Smokey Mountains.  My husband is an awesome, amateur photographer! 

God Bless!

Unity’s Friends with Flare

Good morning all!  I have a cute but simple card to enter in FWF challenge today.  I used SCAL to design the actual card layout and various Unity stamps.  The gnome is from Unity’s Apple Cheddar Soup set.

It’s a spinner card.  I got the idea from the most recent issue of PaperCrafts magazine. 

God Bless!
