Sooooo behind!

Ugh I am so behind with my blogging and that makes me sad.  I am so behind in crafting in general.  Lots and lots happening in my world these days!  Lots of sad too.  My husbands grandmother passed away--she was the sweetest woman I'd met in a long time!  This week has been rough and I'm sure it will be even harder as we all gather to say goodbye to her!  I hope we can all hold on to her wonderful spirit!  She will certainly be missed.  Yikes...typing through tears is not easy!  So I will make this brief.  I made this small note card to say thank you for a wonderful plant my DH received from his work--it's lovely!

Arrrrrrrrr....

Yay a new stamp set arrived from Unity Stamp Co. they were having a super great sale so of course I had to place a small order.  I can definitely say I wasn't disappointed when my goodies arrived :)

I needed to whip up a birthday card and I knew this stamp would work perfect for this card.  I had been thinking about using this Cricut cut and I like how it turned out.  I found a new blog that offers some great challenges so I decided to create a scene in order to make my card fit for the fun challenge with Ashley at Welch Creations.  I found this great blog through my friend Barb.  You'll definitely want to check out her blog-- she is super talented and I LOVE her creations!

Friday! FWF

It's Friday! Whoot!  I am apparently stuck on sympathy cards with Kraft.  I made this card for a friend who's grandfather just passed away.  Hopefully she will appreciate it and enjoy a handmade card.  It is of course Friday...which means it Friends with Flair at Unity.  I love this stamp set and I am soooo excited to see that Unity has just released some new stamps-- can't wait for my sentiment bundle to arrive!

Chick Challenge #20

What a great challenge again over at  Ippity Chicks Challenge!  I love this challenge every week--it's just so much fun!  And now you can use your Unity stamps too---yay!  That makes it even more amazing if you ask me :)  Here is a great card I put together using the KOTM.  A super easy St. Patrick's Day card.  And I need to confess--I am in trouble... a whole lot of it.  Ummmm I finally broke down and found some new white paper...HOLY MOLY.  A friend had recommended that I try  Papertrey Ink white paper--holy moly where has this paper been all of my life. I am soooooooo in love with it. Wow... and just wait until you see my card that I post next--super stinkin' adorable!

OWH! Midweek Throwdown

I had to take some time to participate in the OWH mid-week throw down.  It was to make a Mother's Day card.  So I did!  I made a few of these for my box that I sent to OWH.  Can I just tell you that I had a super warm fuzzy feeling all day yesterday in preparation to send the box and was super pumped after I actually sent it on it's way!  If you are looking for a warm fuzzy feeling I highly suggest sending some cards--or maybe even a check to help out with postage!  I already have my next box started.

Paper: SU! and DCWV

Stamps: Ippity by Unity

Colored with a Copic marker

NO more 12x12 DCWV!!!

Okay... it's time to say goodbye to my obsession with the 12x12 stacks from Die Cuts With a View.  I am sooo in love with them  And they would probably be great if I did scrapbooking....but really since I've started my blog pretty sure you've seen one...yep one scrapbook page.   So it's time to cut those babies up and make cards!  I made 12 last night out of DCWV and ummmm I still have a lot of paper left.  I think the cards I made will be great masculine cards for OWH!  So my OWH box is filling up!  Whoooot!

Unity FWF!

Whoot! It's Friday.  I had a great evening out last night with friends!  We had a blast at dinner!   I did find some time over lunch to create a card for Unity's Friend with Flair!  Here is a sympathy card I needed to make and need to get out in the mail this weekend.  Hope you all have a great Friday.
