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. Thanks for stopping by for a closer look. I always enjoy reading your comments. Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance at a random Unity prize.

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.

I can't believe it's Friday already! This week I'm sharing a sweet  clean and simple card with Unity's Friends With Flair featuring a Phyllis Harris image Brandy and Emma:  Good morning I colored this sweet image during a summer camping trip.

The fun sentiment is from American Art Stamp  and has been in my stash for awhile. For those of us who are dog owners this is such a true statement! Thanks for stopping by!

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...
