Hey Everyone...<br />
<br />
Thanks for visiting me after visiting Deirdre.<br />
<br />
It is an honor to be hopping as a past Growing In Unity girl. Sadly...I didn't make it in time to be a GIU girl this year :( I'm so sad. Maybe I will get lucky for 2017. Yuck. Just saying that sounds horrible...2017!!! Maybe it's because 2016 just started? LOL. Anyway...I hope you enjoy my two project I have for you on this hop.<br />
<br />
One of my favorite Unity stamp sets is from their All Day Pass set (the tickets). I cannot remember the name of the chair and umbrella (I can't find where I put it away at) and the flip flops are from Flip Flop Happy. I stamped those on a shrinky dink sheet to make them into charms.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz6hp9mOLXbPIAS-dIgkATshVW-EwPOkC7D8wZhIy-w06_0n-dyRD2iMKJe3L1JFvccgiinAgUkFPFBPceFLiwCf11eKeWacGK13bzo6AWnvCKy7RvNjOkstkzUWPWNHAwt-sAx7ML58iR/s1600/IMG_1504.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz6hp9mOLXbPIAS-dIgkATshVW-EwPOkC7D8wZhIy-w06_0n-dyRD2iMKJe3L1JFvccgiinAgUkFPFBPceFLiwCf11eKeWacGK13bzo6AWnvCKy7RvNjOkstkzUWPWNHAwt-sAx7ML58iR/s400/IMG_1504.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
Next I made a darling card to welcome a baby into the world by using two sets. The bunny and flower is from the "Little Bunny for You" and the sentiment is from another ADORABLE stamp set "Sweet Elle". <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdfVfNQR0hrcorl4AjUqdv3XcNwzDVYx6XmI7y0n45JXhUNkYQzTFLZp9ATj9S8-oDVrqKXMKeETmbDkxNtb5_eI74yhLXloUrXnMndCuOSGVQYH46pbsyj4WjetTHCMpm381lTtQZwe_u/s1600/Sweet+Baby.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdfVfNQR0hrcorl4AjUqdv3XcNwzDVYx6XmI7y0n45JXhUNkYQzTFLZp9ATj9S8-oDVrqKXMKeETmbDkxNtb5_eI74yhLXloUrXnMndCuOSGVQYH46pbsyj4WjetTHCMpm381lTtQZwe_u/s400/Sweet+Baby.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
I'm still in the process of making another card using Elle...but I have had to run my hubby to doc appts from a car accident he was in. He's fine. Just has pain in his shoulder and collar bone. (The accident wasn't his fault...thank goodness and no one else was injured)<br />

<br />
Hey everyone...<br />
<br />
My sincerest apologies for not posting the winners for the week of my Growing in Unity on the GIU facebook site. I thought I had posted an announcement a few days ago as well, but we have been having crappy wifi connections and I time out constantly. But we have fixed that with a signal boost...hopefully. YAY!!!<br />
<br />
Anyway...this winners from my week are:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">MariLynn DeGroot </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">and </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Denise May</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">(they were notified individually on Tuesday following my week)</span><br />
<br />
CONGRATS Ladies and thank you EVERYONE for all your sweet comments.<br />
<br />
Happy Holidays to all and Happy Crafting.SherylKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17790785149198702362noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073005889177581233.post-81187210696637118832015-11-27T04:42:00.001-07:002015-11-27T04:42:07.365-07:00Growing In Unity Day 5Well, it's my last day. And I'm exhausted...with Thanksgiving and Black Friday shopping. <br />
<br />
This last group of goodies are some easy little mini gift cards/tags. I spritzed the background with Smooch Spritz. Then stamped the owls from the <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/shop/hoot-hoot-hooray/" target="_blank">Hoot Hoot Hooray</a> set. The sentiment is from a group of stamps I won a looooong time ago. I lightly colored in the owls with colored pencil and added a strip of washi tape to the edge.<br />

I hope you like my project and enjoyed all of the weeks projects of all things owlies. If you haven't left a comment on my other blogs, make sure you go back and check them out and leave comments. I will pick two names this weekend and winners will be announce around Monday or Tuesday.

The sentiment is from <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/shop/foxy-christmas/" target="_blank">Foxy Christmas</a>.<br />

The image is watercolored. I covered the background paper with some vellum so that it won't be overwhelming for the actual focus of the card...the owl. Then added a few die cut snowflakes, some washi tape, and gold twine. I really love how this turned out.<br />
<br />
Hope you liked todays card. Don't forget to leave a message for a chance to win 25 random stamps. 2 winners will be picked.

Below is a tag/ornament created from wood laminate sample chips I got from Home Depot...for FREE!!! <br />

<br />
I stamped my <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/shop/decorate-my-life/" target="_blank">Decorate My Life</a> image and watercolored it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I then added pearl drops to her collar trim and hat trim. I also added some clear crackle dimension to the heart. I colored the bell gold using my gel pens and added dots of white with my white gel pen. After everything was dry I Mod Podged my image and my "winter wonderland" die cuts to the wood chip sample. I then added some dimensional embellishments after it was dry.<br />
<br />

I shredded up my <a href="https://www.ribbonresource.com/" target="_blank">MayArts Ribbon</a> for a different kind of bow.<br />
<br />
For the back of these, you can cut out a piece of cardstock and attach it with adhesive of your choice so you can write a message on it or just to cover up the chip description sticker. It's kind of hard to remove so covering it would be better.<br />
<br />
Or you can hang this as a cute ornament for your Christmas tree. The possibilities are endless.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed today's project and it gave you some inspiration. Don't forget...leave a comment for a chance to win 25 stamps. TWO random people will win.<br />
<br />
Have a great day and rest of your week.SherylKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17790785149198702362noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073005889177581233.post-26392511329918942422015-11-24T00:57:00.001-07:002015-11-24T00:57:47.760-07:00Growing In Unity Day 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy Tuesday. My project today is a wooden tag with a fussy cut stamp image of the <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/shop/owl-have-no-doubt/" target="_blank">Owl Have No Doubt</a> stamp. I watercolored this beautiful girl and added some burlap behind her and added a cute egg shaped butterfly acrylic sticker. Now that I think about it...a couple of beads on the jute would be really cute!!! Take a white paint marker and write on the back and attach to a gift! How cute would that be with a burlap bow?</div>

My theme for you guys will be all things owls. I just absolutely LOVE owls. They are fascinating birds of prey. Did you know that owls are the ONLY bird with soundless flight? Yep. Their feathers are completely silent during flight.<br />
<br />
Anyway...for this project (which I completed in late summer), I simply took a nice flat river rock...stamped it with Staz-On ink...and painted it with Acrylic paints. The background sky and grass is painted with glitter paints. After the paints were dry, I sealed the rock with a sealer and placed it along the edge of the stepping stones. I'm going to add more like this to create colorful rocks along the path.<br />

For my first project I used a piece of art from my This 'n That Book by Lindsay Ostrom. As soon as I saw it, I knew in an instant I would be coloring it for my first "whatever" project.<br />

I watercolored the whole image and then painted the outer edges with gold acrylic paint. I mod podged the image onto a plaque I had and waited for it to dry. Then I aded some detail to it like the pearl drops. I added eye screws and wire for the hanger and voila!!....a cute home decor item.<br />
<br />
My next item is from the Christmas coloring book also by artist Lindsay Ostrom. I made a quick and easy Christmas plaque using heavy chipboard/mat board. I added some Stickles and Tinsel glitter for sparkle and flower pearls that looked like snowflakes for some pop. The swirls were painted using <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Yasutomo-Pearlescent-Watercolor-Set-21-Colors/dp/B001DJBV1E" target="_blank">Yasutomo Shimmer/Pearlescent Watercolor Paints.</a> I punched holes and added eyelets to add some MayArts twine to use as a decorative hanger.<br />

For this I simply Mod Podged the art onto the chip sample (You can get these for FREE at Home Depot in the kitchen counters section). In this case, I had to punch a hole through so I added an eyelet and strung some MayArts twine through and added a couple of beads. The Stickles still sparkles through the Mod Podge.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">This is from the Christmas Coloring Book. I painted it using the Yasutomo Pearl Paints. Then embellished the snowflakes and dots with pearl drops and Stickles. As well as a die cut layered snowflake and a cute charm. This one was fun to do because it was "coooold" lol.</span></div>

Aaah that good old phrase..."Trick or Treat...smell my feet...give me something good to eat." My ArtPlay piece is from the sheet called Wicked by Artist Lindsay Ostrom.<br />
So what better thing to eat but a night at McDonalds for dinner? I just attached the cards to each other with some double sided scotch tape.<br />

My third project was something I've wanted to make for quite some time. I made this from cuts from my Silhouette and stickers from WalMart. My ArtPlay piece is from the sheet called Wicked by Artist Lindsay Ostrom. But I just realized I forgot to make my October and November Tag LOL. So it helps if you have a month for your calendar. :)<br />

I'm adding a 4th project...I know...kinda late. But it's so cute.<br />
<br />
This is a tag I made using a darling image by Carolee McMullin on the sheet called Adventure. I looove this sheet. And I found some paper to go with it perfectly.<br />

<br />
It's a crispy cool Friday here in Colorado and I just LOOOOOVE fall weather. It gets me in the mood to start making my Christmas cards. I had to take my son to his school today to pick up his trombone (no school today because of teacher meetings) and while I was waiting out front...I couldn't help but absorb myself in the beautiful colors of the trees.<br />

Anyway...here is a card I made using <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/shop/lift-me-up/" target="_blank">Lift Me Up</a> from Unity, of course. I cut the lambs apart and added my own handmade Santa hat and made my own sentiment of Fleece Navidad. I also added tiny heart rhinestones where the hearts are. The "fleece" is actually white Flower Soft. These little darlings make me smile eveery single time I look at them. I hope you like my card.</div>

Thanks for checking out my projects. I'm going to make my introduction quick and simple.<br />
<br />
My first card I made using Adornit's Art Play. I watercolored the image and added sequins in the tree for some extra bling.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My second project I made is one of Adornit's Art Play 8x10 images to color. I watercolored this a few months back for a friend of mine. I needed the perfect frame for it so I went thrift store shopping, and I found it. The perfect wood frame. I included a close up of part of it to show some of the elements I added to give it some "pop". Liquid pearls in the "keep" and the center of the sunflower along with some gold Flower Soft in the center of the sunflower too. I forgot to put a butterfly on this before I took the pic but there is a dimensional butterfly on it too.<br />

<br />
This card I made using Unity's stamp set "Naturally You". And the "thanks" came from "Total Cuteness". This was watercolored as well. I love watercoloring because you have a lot of control of your blending of colors and fading. It's hard to tell but the green paper behind the image is actually glitter paper. I couldn't get it to catch the sun. Thanks again for stopping by. Be sure to leave me some comments. I really love reading them. :)<br />

<br />
Hey everyone....thanks for stopping by and checking out my projects I did using <a href="https://www.mayarts.com/" target="_blank">May Arts</a> ribbon. I have to say that May Arts Ribbon is the BEST ribbon ever. Bright colors, awesome designs, beautiful lace, textures, flowers, etc. Anything you want, they have.<br />
<br />
But anyway...here are my cards I created...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This first one is a Birthday card for my stepmom. Her birthday is July 1st...so close to Independence Day...so I kinda combined the two. I used <a href="http://www.g45papers.com/" target="_blank">Graphic 45</a> paper from their French Country collection. The Sunflowers are from Martha Stewart, the doily I bought off a facebook crafting site, the brad in the center is from Crate Paper (Little Bo Peep), and the stamp sentiment is from Penny Black.<br />
<br />
All the ribbon (plaid hearts, blue satin, white flowers, green leafy, and red/blue and white stripe) is from May Arts. I did have to cut the striped ribbon just a bit and I used some FabriTac glue on the edges to stop it from fraying. Then I notched them out to create flags/banners.<br />
<br />

This second card is a belated Father's Day card for my Father-in-law. We ended up going to see him and I never made a card...and even though I knew he loved Lighthouses...he expressed it over and over that day, so I HAD to make him a card.<br />
<br />
Starting off with using Graphic 45 paper from the same line. The nautical ribbon and twine is from May Arts. The anchor button is from October Afternoon. The "keep life simple" embellie is from Memory Makers. The stamped sentiment is from Unity's Itty Bitty Fathers Day set. The star and metal button, I don't remember where I got those but the fabric tag I believe one of my Design Team Members sent it to me :)<br />
<br />
So that's it. I hope you enjoyed my cards and it helped inspire you in some sort of way. I would love it if you would leave a comment :) Thank you so much and have a great rest of your June and AWESOME July.<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent;">When I first learned about albums being made from paper bags, I admit, I was intrigued and of course, intimidated. I love challenging projects but usually don't commit to lengthy ones. But once I have everything planned out with papers, cardstock, embellishments, and theme...everything else after that seems to fall right into place. But the best gratification of it all comes from two things: taking paper bags that would have been bought as lunch bags and eventually thrown away and turning it into an album to cherish forever...AND, seeing the expressions on the recipients face when they page through it. Or just hearing how they love it if I can't be there in person. The following album was made for my nephew. I used chipboard for the cover to give the album more of a rigid cover and something that will be durable throughout the years.</span></div>

Plus, an MPC fan will win a nifty little prize offered up by our co-founder Pam Stang, so check our FB link above or visit our blog below for details. You have until Thursday, Apr. 24th at noon EST to link an Appreciation creation to our FB page to qualify for the prize winnings.<br />
<br />
I love Spring for the pretty flowers and the nice weather. I don't like Spring because it's telling me that summer is on the way and I HATE the heat...so I enjoy every moment of the cool springtime weather that I can. And while I enjoy the weather, I enjoy making cards for people who I love and appreciate the most.<br />

<br />
Are you an owl fan? Have you been watching any of the streaming live videos of owls growing up? I've been watching the OKC OwlCam for quite some time and just absolutely love it. And the little owlets are adorable. So to thank their hosts for allowing them to video stream them, I'm going to send them this Easter card. You gotta check them out though. The female owl has made her nest in planter boxes on their window balcony. The owlets are getting ready to fledge but they are hilarious to watch.<br />
<br />
Anyway...here is my easel card:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-UK9-BYn6bOoE7h_Qsr_USR6g2YA2CcEoC9FI643-kzh1YSmumhSJm83tuANm8GhRJkAVhZrx1Z4TCYzxQbSwnaD0nkKhPiN76ZqZ8nSNtpisDVvhF8xacQUGmmY9_wIugKn4Gcoyriae/s1600/Owls.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-UK9-BYn6bOoE7h_Qsr_USR6g2YA2CcEoC9FI643-kzh1YSmumhSJm83tuANm8GhRJkAVhZrx1Z4TCYzxQbSwnaD0nkKhPiN76ZqZ8nSNtpisDVvhF8xacQUGmmY9_wIugKn4Gcoyriae/s1600/Owls.jpg" height="400" width="270" /></a></div>
The stamp set I used for the mom and dad owls was <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/shop/total-cuteness/" target="_blank">Total Cuteness</a> and the sentiment is <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/shop/everything-easter/" target="_blank">Everything Easter</a>.<br />
<br />
The little owls I had tucked away in a drawer so I'm not sure where these diecuts are from...but I used foam behind them to allow them to pop up.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed my card. Please leave me some love, if you will? Thanks so much. Have a GREAT WEEK.<br />

Can't believe how fast this year is already moving along.<br />

Are you getting a head start on your Easter cards? Hope so. :)<br />
<br />
This flip card is made using the Itty Bitty's "Pretty Easter Find" and "Hunny Bunny". That bunny is SO SO cute.<br />

I'm so glad it's Friday. I'm looking forward to our big winter storm that's headed our way. We are supposed to get a huge 10 to 12 inches of snow. I wish we would get MORE lol.<br />
<br />
I was feeling a bit Eastery so I decided to make an Easter card. The stamps I'm using is "Lil Bunny Wishes" and "True Wishes". I love how the embossing turned. <br />

<br />
I hope you all recovered well from the weekend and are ready to start your week with some crafty fun. <br />
<br />
Fancy Pants Designs was so generous with sending us their products to play with and I LOVE LOVE LOVE their papers, embellishments, and the designs of them both.<br />
<br />
Our challenge was to follow this sketch that Pam thought up and then to create a nautical theme to go with the AMAZING prize package that FPD has given us to give to one lucky winner. All YOU need to do is follow the sketch. But it doesn't have to be a nautical theme.<br />
<br />
Since Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, I have been working on all my Valentine cards to send out. So I thought I would incorporate a Valentine theme into the Nautical theme and came up something for my former Navy hubby.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy my project inspiration and will create something wonderful to go with the wonderful prize.<br />
<br />
Happy Crafting!!!!<br />

<br />
It sure has been awhile since I've entered into FWF. I've just been so busy with my hubby and his cancer surgery/recovery. I've made a lot of cards and crafts but haven't had a chance to really blog.<br />
<br />
For my card, I used Phyllis Harris' <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/shop/love-blows-away/" target="_blank">Your Love Blows Me Away.</a> I just love this sweet stamp. Windy days and holding balloons. I remember that as a kid.<br />
<br />

I did something a little different and that was to keep all of the image EXCEPT the balloons on the same paper piece. Now the balloons are actually attached with thread "strings".<br />

Well thanks so much for visiting me. I still have my fundraiser site going to help my hubby and I out to pay our bills since he has been out of work since September and he is only getting 50% of his income. The donations really help us out in getting some of our bills paid. Thank you so much in advance for your help.<br />

This adorable card I made was created using ADORNit's "Art Play" <a href="http://www.adornit.com/scrapbooking/art-play/paintables/" target="_blank">Paintables</a>. Special paper, like watercolor paper, with pre-printed images on it for you to color in using whatever medium you desire. With my image, I used water color pencils. There was enough space at the top that it left enough room for me to add a name. So that's just what I did and it fits PERFECT!! There are so many images printed on these 12x12 pages, you'll have something to last you forever.</div>

For this project, we were given wood pieces to create with called <a href="http://www.adornit.com/wood-shop/shaped-surfaces/" target="_blank">Shaped Surfaces</a>. We were also given sheets of 12x12 papers with printed phrases of ALL kinds called <a href="http://www.adornit.com/scrapbooking/art-play/prints/" target="_blank">Prints</a>. But this is one of my favorites. I mean what crafter wouldn't agree? I painted the wood piece with blue to match the blue in "my" and "room" and Mod Podged a doily that was my husband's when he was in the hospital for his cancer surgery (They were under his food cups). Then I also used the adorable fabrics we were given and stitched up some really cute and easy flowers to add with my other embellishments.</div>

This was a very quick and easy project to make. I took my bottle cap heart and cut out some ADORNit <a href="http://www.adornit.com/index.cfm/store/product.cfm?product=449" target="_blank">Blender Paper</a> that matched the colors in my picture. I made the little flowers out of the yellow ADORNit fabric and the bow out of some ADORNit fabric as well. </div>

This is my absolute favorite project. I saw something similar like this at Pier1 and fell in love with it, so you can imagine my delight when I saw this in my <a href="http://www.adornit.com/scrapbooking/art-play/prints/" target="_blank">Print</a> package. So I made a trip to the home improvement store and picked up 9 large paint stir sticks, 2 small paint stir sticks, a couple of packages of eye hooks, and a piece of scrap moulding. I cut all the rules into strips and Mod Podged them onto my cut and sanded stir sticks. I used the small sticks as a frame in back. Add little jute to hang it up with and a lovely bow made from ADORNit's adorable fabrics. </div>

Hello everyone!!! Thanks for stopping by. I have a couple of projects to share with you today using Unity Stamps and Tombow.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
My first project is a cute gift berry basket I made using a template.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I assembled it using Tombow'Extreme tape runner. This stuff is super strong! I used brads to decorate the basket and applied some super pretty quilled roses that Marilynn gave me using the Tombow Aqua liquid glue. Again, wonderful stuff. </div>

Today I am showing off my creation using the new Stamp of the Week stamp titled "Winter Forest". The second I saw this stamp, I knew right away that it HAD to be a shaker card. So that is what it became.<br />

This image also reminds me of being up at my inlaws house in the Rocky Mountains. It's so peaceful up there.<br />

I'm not sure why the picture shows my card kinda wavy, but it's not lol. </div>

<br />
It's been soooo long since I have posted anything here. I'm glad to say that I have finally had a little time to craft something.<br />
<br />
My husband was recently diagnosed with stomach/esophagus cancer. The beginning of it all is like a whirlwind under your feet...tests, xrays, labs, appointments...etc. It's crazy and hectic...and overwhelming at times. Especially when you run into troubles.<br />
<br />
But here is my card I made in between all my busy time. It's one of the MANY MANY Thank you cards I have to make for EVERYONE that has been so helpful to us.<br />
<br />

It's from the set "Feelin' Owly" The glitter and inked edge is Antique Linen from Tim Holtz.<br />
<br />
Since my husband's diagnosis we have run into some financial issues and the biggest one right now is that our washing machine broke down in the middle of washing his clothes. ALL his loose fitting clothes. He just got out of the hospital after having a chemotherapy port placed and a feeding tube inserted. He needs his loose fitting clothes and bedding washed. So what funds I can collect will be used to get a new washer...hopefully ASAP. The one we have is old and has been repaired 3 times. Not going to repair it again. So whatever you all can do to help...I would be EVER so grateful. I cry each time I see a donation. Thank you to those who already have.<br />
