Stampin' In Alaska

Happy Friday! Today the Bugaboo Design Team is sharing a fun image that Jodie is generously  giving away in the Bugaboo shop . Scruffy Puppy Feet is just adorable! The image was printed and colored with Prismacolor pencils and blended with baby oil. I created the little doghouse free form then attached grass from a Sweet 'n Sassy die. The pup was fussy cut then  attached with foam tape. The sentiment was perfect and could be  used for a Belated Birthday or just to say "I'm Sorry". Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to stop by the Bugaboo Shop for a peek at all of this week's new images!

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.) Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance at randomly winning a fabulous Unity prize! Thanks for stopping by.  I always enjoy reading your comments.

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. It's Angela's birthday and she's celebrating big! Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance at randomly winning a fabulous Unity Prize. Thanks for stopping by!

I Love Sweet 'n Sassy! Quality stamps, fabulous customer service  and a wonderful family owned company. The January Release has just been unveiled and the release challenge is to Use Something New . My one layer card features a  new-to-me set from Sweet 'n Sassy Serene Silhouettes.   The background was a reverse mask sponged with Memento inks. The silhouette grass was stamped and a bird die added from  the Sweet 'n Sassy Birds & Feathers Die Set was added. The sentiment is from the Timeless Classic set.
