MY FIRST UNITY CARD!!!!







Hi everyone, how are you? Your families? Hope you are well!!! So, I am sooo excited to share this with you tonight!!! I have made my FIRST card with a Unity Stamp!! I just got my order from LIMELIGHT PAPERCRAFTS and I received my first 2 stamps from Unity!! I have seen sooo many cards made with the sentiments from Unity, that it was hard to choose just 2!! Of course I had to use my FAV paper by Basic Grey!! However, I did get some AWESOME paper from Kaisercraft!! That stuff is VERY pretty too!! What can I say, I am a DP freak!! Haha!! Proud of it too!! Hehe! I also used Kaisercraft Pearls, from Limelight, in Pewter! I love how they match everything and the ribbon does too! Sorry, I got the ribbon from a swap on SCS. Which really is too bad, since I LOVE the ribbon!! The other thing I NEED to point out is that I actually embossed the sentiment!! I haven't embossed for years; I forgot how elegant it can look! Not to mention how cool!! Luckily I had A container of embossing powder; the color happened to be Platinum!! Imagine the chances of that?? Now, I think I will be NEEDING some others, especially a clear of some kind!! Haha!! NEED!! That always makes me laugh, no matter how true it may be!!! Ok everyone, I must get going and put these twins to bed!! Hope you are remembering to enter for my 5,000+ hits CAT CANDY TREAT!!! It is posted below, so make sure you do!!! Again, I appreciate you all stopping by for a visit! I also thank you for all the GREAT comments for my DD Kyah!! She is so loving it!!!! You should see her!! She comes home from school and asks me, "Mommy, did anyone else say anything to ME?", it is way cute!! Thanks everyone, you ROCK!!! Have a wonderful night and I will see you tomorrow!! Until then..................ENJOY LIFE!!!

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORIE!!

Hey everyone how are you tonight?? Thanks for all your encouragement and kind words!! I am so glad you were liking that last card, because I am stuck on the buttons!! LOL! Guess I figured I should be, since I bought a bag! Haha! They were calling to me; besides the fact that everyones' projects were sooo cute. I just had to do another. That and I have learned we have another birthday among us ladies!! Make sure you stop over and wish LORIE a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Her birthday is on October 9th. So, I made this card for her! Hope you like it LORIE, it will be coming your way tomorrow! I love how it turned out, don't you? I had this Whipper Snapper image, from my friend Sarah, already colored and ready to go. I do that a lot. While I am watching TV with my hubby or while I am eating lunch. You know? Just hanging out and coloring, what can I say. Anyway, I was eyeing my buttons and trying to piece it all together. I had the AWESOME ribbon I used on the last card and my buttons went well with it. I knew I had some of the SU Wassabi Green CS and DP to match. The whole match thing, ya know? Haha! I had the CB embossed circles from my friend Carrie, whose DD has Girl Scouts with Kyah? The one who got me NEEDING a CB to begin with?? Hehe! She had let me borrow hers to try it out and that is when I made the circles. I knew they would come in handy someday! However, I needed to tone down the Pomegranate a bit, so it didn't look like Christmas! LOL! I took my finger dauber and dabbed it in my SU Basic Brown. I brushed the sides of the circles and then ended up brushing across the whole thing. I really like it; it was just enough! Then I took the same dauber and dabbed it in the Pomegranate; I proceeded to do the edges of some of my layers and the edge of the right side of the card. I went back over the sides of the White CS, that I had done with Pomegranate, with the Basic Brown. Again, this was to tone down the Pomegranate. Well, I really like it and I will stop babbling!! I hope you like it too!! I appreciate your visit tonight! Look forward to you stopping back again!! If you have time, stop by Leanne's Blog, and check out the AWESOME creations she has made!! She is the one who got me started on the buttons, in the first place!! Thanks for the GREAT idea LEANNE!!! I am glad you shared your idea with us!! Ok gals I will stop now!!! Have a FANTASTIC night!!! I hope to see you tomorrow, until then..............................ENJOY LIFE!!

A Card Made From My Sistah's Stuff!!!!

Hey there everyone!! How are you?? HOpe you and your families are well! First a BIG thank you to my Bella Sistah, Carri!! She sent me THE cutest acrylic stamp set and I was lucky to receive it, let me tell ya!!! I got the bubble envy yesterday and it was inside a clear bag marked OOPS!!! The PO had put it in there to deliver it to me. You should have seen this envy!! I can't believe the set even stayed in there!! It was MANGLED!! Wanna know the kicker?? It was postmarked 9/7!!! What was yesterday?? Yesterday was 9/30!!!! WOW! Like I said, I was lucky to even get it!! Thank you sooo much Carri!! I love it!!!
While we are on the subject of my Sistah, check out the card I made with the stuff she sent me!! This is the first time I made a card this long!! I think it's 4x8. I am likin' the long card!! The image is from a CTMH set and I am not sure where the saying is from, since they both came from Carri!! Got to admit though, I like how it turned out!! I wouldn't have been able to fit the asying and the image on a regular sized card. Believe me, I tried. I just didn't like how the DP got swallowed up and you couldn't really see it. I tried using the flower designed DP that she sent me, that matched this striped one? It didn't work and I was bummed. However, I rolled woth it and this is what I came up with! Hope you like it. I used all the goodies that Carri sent me.
On another note, I got my Blog Candy today, from Cheri at www.cheribella.wordpress.com. All I can say is OMGOSH!!! All the COOL stuff I got!! WOW! What a great surprise and SO QUICK too!!! Thank you again, Cheri, you ROCK!! I really needed that this week! What a generous blog offering and I still can't believe I won!! I NEVER win anything!! YAY!!! I'll share a pic with you all tomorrow!! I know it was posted on her blog, but, I just have to share it anyway!! Thank you all for visiting today and I hope you all have a GREAT one!! Remember to check out LIMELIGHT PAPERCRAFTS!! Mandy is holding a DT call and she also had some EXCITING things coming up for WCMD!! So head on over and check it!! Until tomorrow.......................ENJOY LIFE!!!

**The Set that made it thru the mail!! Thanks Carri, I am glad it made it!!
