Stampin' In Alaska

HAPPY FRIDAY to all of my fellow FWF players!! If you are new to the game, Unity Stamp Company sponsors a fun linky party each week called Friends with Flair. It gives us an opportunity to share our projects using FUN Unity Stamps! I'm using the {be Inspired} Challenge inspiration this week for my card which features a couple of Unity stamps Let's Be Adventurers and  Tans will Fade Of course, the fun image was colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut and adhered with foam tape for dimension. I added the sentiment since it reminds me of our annual trip to the Hawaiian Islands. (Of course, I don't take this much luggage!)   The sketch inspiration is provided by this month's Unity {be Inspired} Challenge I am also entering my card into  Papercrafting Challenge: Magazine Mondays – Week 114! - See more at: http://papercrafterscorner.com/blog/papercrafting-challenge-magazine-mondays-week-114/#sthash.jqooVvCZ.dpuf ...

Happy Friday to all of my Unity Friends! Earlier this week Angela posted a fun challenge on Facebook asking that we use a digital image which she provided. I'm sharing also my card with this week's Friends With Flair. I printed the pig and sentiment of Stampin' Up Whisper White Cardstock.  The pig was colored with Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils then fussy cut. I decided to create a little "farm scene" with a couple of dies from My Favorite Things. I really like how this turned out and it could be used for several  occasions.   Thanks for stopping by and don't forget  to leave a comment for your chance at a fun Unity Prize!

Friday, Friday, Friday! It's time to play along with Unity Stamp Company Friends with Flair . This week I've chosen an Itty Bitty set that has been in my stash awaiting ink.  I bought this because I love camping and this little camper really caught my eye. Love at Home The image was colored with Copic Markers. The sky and grass were sponged using  Memento inks. Of course, I used the new Unity {be Inspired} Sketch challenge for my card.

Friday has come around again.... For Unity Stamp Company fans that means time to play along with Unity's Friday Friends with Flair ! DH and I took a quick camping trip in Seward, Alaska last weekend. I love beach combing while we are there. A few week's ago, a fellow FWF fan Mandi posted a fun idea that I decided to give  a try..... I didn't have the Versamark ink with me so I brought several of these smooth rocks home.   This one will be going to my sister. I think she will enjoy it. Sharing a couple of pictures from my beach walk with Gingersnap. I hope everyone has a great weekend! Anchorage is expecting fabulous sunny, summer weather. DH and I will be gardening and cleaning house in preparation for company.

Happy Friday! Another week has quickly passed and it's time again to join the Unity Stamp Company and Friends with Flair . My card features the new Phyllis Harris set ...all things new and Goodbye The image speaks for itself and really needs little embellishment. I used Tim Holtz distress reinkers to water color the image and added a slight sparkle to the raindrops. The sentiment is from Phyllis' Goodbye set.

I have been away from the craftroom for the past couple of weeks. While I was on vacation I did have time to color some of the fabulous Unity images. This week's I'm using one of those  images and combining it with the fabulous {be Inspired} sketch.

This rarely happens.... I'm planning my Friends with Flair card while getting dressed for work this morning. and Pow! Bang! Two design ideas actually come to mind. So, here I am with my second post tonight for both the Unity Friends with Flair and  Unity {be Inspired} Challenges This is a really quick clean and simple design using both image and sentiment from  Ol' Bag of Fun - KOM 7/12 Both were embossed with CTMH detailed Black embossing powder then colored  with Copic Markers. The color inspiration came from this month's Unity {be Inspired} Challenge : Be sure to check out the fabulous Unity sales  this weekend!   (That's where I'm headed next.)

Happy Friday! It's been a long week for me. I was so glad to come home  and have some crafty time tonight. Of course, I had to play along with Unity's Friends with Flair today. My card features  Camera Ready SMAK 2/14 and Happy Happy Anniversary I used the emboss resist technique with the image from Camera Ready . The entire panel was then sponged with Rose Bud and Angel Pink Memento inks.  A few gems and it was done! The card size is 6.5 by 3.5. It's always nice to have an extra Anniversary card on hand. Of course, my layout inspiration came from this month's Unity {be Inspired} sketch : Be sure to check out the fabulous sales going on at Unity this weekend.

Happy Friday! I have missed playing along with the Friends with Flair blog hop the past couple of weeks.  It seems like FOREVER since I have been able to play.  Hubby and I took a much needed vacation recently.  We escaped the Alaskan winter and relaxed on the island of Maui.  Of course, it all seems like a dream now!  Great trip! Maybe you will stop back by to take a peek at some of my photos from the trip in this Post . So, I took my Copic Markers, Prismacolor pencils  and a folder of stamped images along on the trip  to color.  I spent a couple of evenings on the lanai coloring in the sunlight.  Boy, was that fun!   I decided to use one of those images " happiness is.. ." by Phyllis Harris to create my project for this week: I kept the design clean and simple to focus on the sweet image. I've included two Dies from My Favorite Things.  The sentiment is from  Unity's J...
