Unity love!

If you have ever visited my blog, it's no secret I am a HUGE unity fan.    I have been blogging for them the last few weeks.  It's been amazing I have really loved it.  It's a lot of work but, I've been pushed to really take my time and do the best I can.

My husband is positive for covid 19, I posted on the unity page about it for support as I am struggling.   And, not only did tons and tons of Unies come to my aid by praying, and loving on me the owner also mentioned that she was sending love our way.  WHO DOES this.  I tell you who. Angela Magnuson, owner of unity.   How many companies know their customers enough to do this.  Maybe other companies do this and I am just oblivious.  But I have NEVER seen this type of love.

It's been amazing.

Check out the Unity blog every Thursday through June to see my creations.  I'll share them here after the fact.  If I remember lol!

Continue to pray for my family, '

Thank you,

Dawn

Covid 19, You suck!

  My husband Jon is a nurse, He in my eyes  really is a hero .  He went to school later in life, worked his tail off to not only provide what he could, but to get through school after being out of it for so long.  
  
 He is one of those guys, who never calls out of work, has a love for the Lord, like I've never seen. Speaks only truth and sticks up for what he believes.

 Today, he is home sick because COVID-19 has reared it's ugly head.   It's what I expected to happen but was in NO way prepared for.   I wish I could go back and put things in place for him and us.

 I am sleeping on an air mattress in the living room.   I have the boys bathroom I can use.  I have my craft room down here, (although, I'm so worried I'm not sure I can craft, though i will try)

So, how is he??  He feels pretty crappy, he has a cough that is annoying but not to the point we need to go to ER.   He does have a fever that goes up and down with Tylenol.  This all started yesterday, so we are at the very beginning.   We go tomorrow to get the official test.   Considering hes had covid patients and other nurses on his floor have it, we know it is but need it to be official.

If your the Praying type Please send them our way. 

I hope to show some cards soon, 

Happy Crafting,

Dawn

May Friends of Unity blog hop!




  This month we have an Angie girl, Challenge.  I absolutely love the Angie girl line.  I feel like the represent so many of us and are perfect for sending cards to our girlfriends.

This first card, has such a great Spring feel to it. Her name is Poppy Girl, I have used her cutting off the flowers too.  For this card I used a nice brick pattern paper that was in my stash. I did simple water color with Zig markers.   I cut her with a Pretty Pink Posh die. I cut that twice to add the blue edge to bring the color of her shirt into the card. Added a few Sequins and done. So, simple and easy. Add a sentiment or leave it blank. 



 As graduation season is right around the corner.   (My heart goes out to those Seniors effected by Covid-19)  I don't buy a lot of graduation stamps, as I don't have really anyone graduating any more, so I bought this set called SENTIMENTS FOR GRADUATES.   This way you have appropriate sentiments and can use whatever stamp goes with the grad.   One of my favorite girls graduates this year, So I wanted something that would reflect her.  I think I nailed it.  I absolutely love how this card turned out.



 What I did to add texture to the background paper, was Added some distress ink in grey around the edge.  I then took a stencil and added a design.   After that I went ahead and added some stars with Nuvo glacier paste in quick silver.  To finish off the card, I went ahead and added a film ribbon from Tim Holtz, and the 2020 from my stash. (sorry It's older I don't have a source)  I colored the image with copics.   For her shirt I flick the ink up leaving that sharp edge for a tie dyed look.  yes her hair is Blue, as the recipients hair is blue.  At least this week.  haha  This Angie girl is called Cierra girl
