Flower Stickers

I feel like there are way

less stickers being used

on cards these days.  So

I broke out some old 

Close To My Heart 

stickease & made a card

with them.  How will

I ever use up all my old

supplies otherwise???

I put the flower stickers on,

added glitter brads & some

leaf punches.  That pretty

sentiment is Unity's Basically Said.

This next card uses a rainbow

ink pad.  I love the pastel colors.

A few Copic markers added 

some zip to the chevrons!

Purple & Blue

Check out the colors for 

Unity Stamp Company

 monthly blog challenge...

I had fun with this one

with it's rich tones of 

purple & blue.

This stamp is from 

Unity's KOM 7/14.

The streaks of color 

was simply dashes of 

my Copic markers!

It's an easy, unique 

"artsy" background.

Soft Scarf

The SOFT SCARF challenge

 at Curtain Call is pretty unique. 

 I'm digging those colors together!

Here are a few cards 

made in this theme:

This circle frame and 

sentiment are from 

Unity Stamp Company.

I love that the circle

 can be stamped in a 

different color.

The sentiments and frames

can be mix & matched.

I love this bow stamp

from Wendy Vicchi.

The sweet framed sentiment is 

from a Unity brand "grab bag".

Tulips

I'm sharing two different cards,
using one stamp.

It is from the June 2014
Kit of the Month,
but Unity Stamp Company.

Here is one with tons of color!
They make me dream of spring.

This is my simple black & white wedding card, 

with only a peek of red.

Winter Wishes

Well I survived a long

holiday weekend at a 

water park with the kids.

Now I'm back to enter

some blog challenges!

The Frilly and Funkie 

challenge is Winter Wishes.

So I'm sharing one of MY 

favorite winter hobbies.

It's a shame we lack 

snow here this year!

Last year we had

so much we didn't 

know where to 

move it to!

The "snow" flashcard

is from the

Funkie Junkie Boutique. 

I've been hoarding 

them for a long

time & was thrilled 

to break out 

these goods.

Many Things

I love the Unity brand older Kit of the Month

and SMAK sets.  Many of the stamps are 

inspiring sayings.  Here is an example:

I'm a bit of a hoarder, because I'm in love with 

almost everything!  I collect old hose nozzles,

toy metal horses, padlocks, depression glass, 

vases, suitcases, bottles, baskets, jars,

pottery, planters, keys, coins, books,

crates, totes, agates, and more.

This tag is going in my craft room.

It proves that there are more people,

just like me.  Some folks just have

a passionate heart, and love "stuff".

Do you have a collecting personality?

MOJO 379

The challenge this week at the 

Mojo Monday blog looks like this...

 

 

Here is my card

for the challenge.

 

 

I made good use of the scraps

in my bin, which is always

busting at the seams!

 

The stamp is Unity brand.

I am using up old black

Smash brand tape.

 



Chevron Suitcase

I have a rather simple stamped tag to share

with you, but it is on a much bigger project!

This old suitcase was crying for a makeover.

So I gave it a major paint job.

BEFORE:

IN PROGRESS:

AFTER:

This boring luggage turned sassy home

decor wouldn't be complete without

an inspiring tag of wisdom!

The stamp is from the Chalk It Up SMAK 3/13 kit.

Winter Wonder

This Curtain Call Challenge 

is very appropriate for my 

chilly location in Minnesota

right now...

We need more snow here,

but sure have plenty of ice!

There is over a foot 

on our little lake.

My card for this challenge

features the some subtle tones.

gray & tan

I like a good seasonal birthday card!

It turned out kind of shabby.

All the stamps are old 

Close to my Heart. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Vintage Hand

I just love the vintage pointing hand image

in Unity's SMAK 3-13 kit.

The sentiments are from He's a Wordy Buck.

That background die cut is Tim Holtz.

Here is another variation, with a Bobunny 

paper frame.  The stamp is Feather Flight.

Thanks for stopping here, 

for my first blog post of 2015!
