Hello and encouragement

I have 3 cards to share today for Friends with Flair.  I made all of these for a recent submissions call for Paper Crafts but since they didn't get chosen I can share them with my Unity peeps today!  For a list of all of the Friends with Flair participants check here on the Unity Stamp Co blog.  I love hopping through the list every week and seeing all of the wonderful creations my crafty friends have to share, so much inspiration to be found!
I love the spring colors and the butterflies on the first card.  Green is my favorite color and I am thrilled that spring is just around the corner!

 Supplies:  Stamps: Unity Stamp Co (Love Never Fails and Folk Inspired), colored with Copics and a glitter pen.

 Supplies:  Stamps: Unity Stamp Co (Everyday Adorable and Inside & Out), PP: My Minds Eye

Supplies: Stamps: Unity Stamp Co (Heart and Soul (Jan 2012 KOM) and Together We Bloom), PP: Authentique
I wanted to try something different on the last card so instead of using colored embossing powders I used clear powders on different colored PP's.  I like the way it turned out, I'm a terrible card photographer and it looks much prettier in real life.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, wishing you all a wonderful and crafty weekend!

Sweet Kind Nice Wonderful

Friday, where have you been all week!?!  TGIF and FWF!  Just a quick post this week with a card I threw together super quick yesterday when both kids were napping at once...oh wait, scratch that...when my little guy was napping and his toddler sister was having "quiet" time in her room instead of napping and doing her very best to wake him up too.  No naps from a tempermental 2 1/2 year old ALL week make for one VERY long week!
To see all of the other great Unity creations on Friends with Flair this week head over to the Unity blog!

Supplies used:
Cardstock
Authentique PP
Unity stamps:  January 2012 KOM
Other:  Crackle paint, glitter, pop dots, silk ribbon, button and twine.
I'm entering this card into the Unity Monthly Challenge New Beginnings.  Nothing says new beginnings to me like a butterfly starting life as a caterpillar and emerging from a cocoon a fresh and new creature!

Bewitching

Ah, it's Friday...or I should say FINALLY Friday!  And that means it's time for another fun Friends With Flair from my favorite stamp company of all time, Unity Stamps!  Check out all of the great projects that Unity lovers have inked up this week!
I love this photo of my daughter around Halloween last year, what a little sweetie she was!  A good photo of her this Halloween will be nearly impossible to come by as she throws a tantrum when she sees the camera.  Oh, the Terrible Twos...they pass right!?!

It's been dark and dreary here for days so it was tough to get a good pic of the LO, there's a horrible glare shining off the photo.
Here are a few more detailed shots.

I stamped a lot on this layout.  The cobweb is from Tattered Angels, the spiders are Martha Stewart.  Beware of witching hour and Under your Spell are from Unity Stamp Co.  The witch is from Inkadinkado.  I stamped her on transparency because I wanted her facing left instead of right.  The embellies are old Jolee's and new Authentique.  The title was cut with the Cricut Happy Hauntings cart and layered on orange silk ribbon.  The patterned papers are from Authentique and Echo Park.
Happy Friday and wishing you all a fantastic weekend!
