My attempt at putting all of my photographed creations in one location.  Before my blog I used to upload creations to a couple of different online craft galleries but since I haven't been on those in months I thought I'd simplify (which is turning out to be not simple at all) and put them all in one location and delete my online galleries.

Friday, FWF and blog candy!!!

Happy Friday and Friends With Flair!  It's been quite a week here and I'm happy to see the weekend on the horizon.  I've got a couple of projects to share with you today as well as some blog candy I'll be giving away!  I've had some double Unity Stamps laying around for a while and think it's about time to give those babies to someone who can ink them up and make them feel loved.  For a chance to win please follow my blog and leave a comment on this post.  A couple of days ago I really messed things up with my blog by changing the domain and I'm afraid that all of my current followers are no longer receiving any new post notifications and cannot locate my blog from their following list.  My apologies for that, I am computer illiterate to begin with and this weeks time change hasn't been going over well with the little ones and I am getting even less sleep than usual.

I just received an order from Unity's recent sale this past week and had to ink some of those babies up immediately!  The first project I want to share is a layout that I have been itching to make with our recent family photos.

Stamps used are all from Unity Stamp Company, Generations (always & forever), Roots and Wings (The Story, Est, and Like Branches on a tree...), Woodgrain background on the title and Distressed Dots on the orange strip of paper.  The paper is Little Yellow Bicycle.  Family title was cut with Cricut's Wall Decor and More.  Border punches are Martha Stewart (scallop), EK Success (notebook edge) and Fiskars (wave).  Brad is Basic Grey.  Tim Holtz distress inks: Antique Linen and Vintage Photo.  I popped up the title and small wallet size photos.

My second project today is a new baby card using Unity's itty bitty Twinkle Twinkle.  I am entering this into Mojo Monday sketch challenge #214.

Papers and chipboard star are My Mind's Eye.  Tim Holtz for paper distresser and inks (Walnut Stain and Antique Linen).  Copic BG15 to color stars in.  Button and Twine to finish.

Thanks for stopping by blog today and for hopefully becoming a new follower or a return follower!  I'll post the winner on Wednesday, I'm super excited to give away my first blog candy!!!

Wow, I think in the process of trying to switch my domain name I just proved to myself how computer illiterate I really am!  Apologies to my followers if you are getting some strange messages or anything.  Hopefully you can still locate my blog.  I truly don't know how this works.  What was Crystal's Creative Escape is now Crystal Amaris Creations with a new domain.  Work in progress...

Dream as if you'll life forever...

I made this a few weeks ago when I was playing around trying to get some creative mojo flowing.  Forgot to post it so here it is.  I love this sentiment stamp from Technique Tuesday and the hot air balloon is from Amuse Studios. 

I don't love it.  I feel like it's missing something I just can't figure out what.

Thankful

I can't believe it's November already but it is.  Whoa does time fly!  Have you seen Unity's new KOM for this November, it's got some stamps in it that I can't wait to get my hands on!

Those clocks and time quotes will be perfect for several projects I have in mind...

My Friends with Flair project for today is just a simple Thankful card.  Click on Friends with Flair here to see some more amazing projects from Unity loving stampers like myself.

I used stamps from 3 sets for this card.  The flowers are from the recent Live What You Love kit that was voted for on Facebook.  I can't remember what this image was up against but I do remember that I didn't vote for it.  I thought, flowers, I have so many of those already.  How funny that these particular flowers were the perfect fit for this card!  The grid is from September 2011's KOM.  The Thankful stamp is from September 2010's KOM and there is also a For You stamp on the inside of the card from that same KOM.  I used an EK Success border punch some twine and a button to finish the card off.  I have so many people in my life that I am thankful for and I am using this month of Thanksgiving to let them know how important they are to me.  This card has a special destination that it will be shipping to soon!  Happy Friday everyone!
I entered this card into the Unity challenge Autumn Harvest going on over at the Unity Stamp Company blogspot.
