Stampin' In Alaska

Happy Independence Day! It's also Friday which means fun with Unity's Friends with Flair blog hop . A very clean and simple one layer card this morning. The cake and party images were in a recent prize bag. The banner is from " Ol' Bag of Fun ".  I used a Tombo marker to color only the portion of the stamp I needed. Then stamped directly to the card stock. The entire panel was spritzed with Imagine Crafts Fireworks Spritz inks. This month's {be Inspired} Challenge was the inspiration for the card layout: Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance at a Unity rubbah prize. Off to enjoy the fabulous weather and long weekend! Hope you have a fabulous and safe July 4th weekend.

I've had these little buttons in my stash for awhile. The colors coordinated perfectly! Of course, you can get this image and many others at 50% off right now. No coupon is required!

It has been a SUPER busy week for me! No creative Mojo.... But I wanted to play along with   Unity's Friends with Flair and  came across this Itty Bitty stamp "Our House... Serve the Lord" while browsing my very large collection of Unity Stamps. It seemed to be the Perfect sentiment and image to end my hectic/stressful week. This scripture is always a comfort but especially during stressful times: "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."  Philippians 4:6 The colors were inspired by this month's Unity {be Inspired) Challenge The background was created by swiping Memento Dew Drop Inks directly to the card stock.  Such an easy technique that I should really use more often! I then stamped the image with Versafine tuxedo black ink. Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance at a...
