Friends of Unity, November blog hop. Give Thanks

Welcome to the Friends of Unity blog hop, If your new here welcome I hope you enjoy.  If you've been here before thank you for coming back to visit.

  This month our theme is Giving Thanks.   Fitting for this month when we reflect on what we are Thankful for.

 I have a few projects to share.  So, lets get to it.

  The first two cards are very simple,  I cased this layout from my fellow hopper Alaine.   I am thankful for her and her cards.   I love Angie girls, I like to try to keep them whole because  they have lots of itty bitty bits around them.  This layout works well keeping the image full  and also allows you to use pattern paper.  I use this layout all the time.   It makes it really easy.  For the second card  I used November girl,  you can find her HERE! be sure to look at the line of Angie girls, and add to your wish list.  Unitys brown Thursday sale will be here very soon.   The word Gratitude is from the set Frondescence and the link for that is below.   For this first card I used Emerson girl, shes great for fall and winter cards.  You can find her HERE!

This next card is also very simple.   I wanted to show how you can make the sentiment shine.   For this one I used Frondescence you can find it HERE!  I colored the bottom half with copics then added a gina marie design die, to kinda frame the whole image.  I used the sentiment from Array of fall.   and you can find that one HERE!  I sprayed the whole thing with distress mica spray at the end.   added a few sequins.  I also distressed the edges of the frame and sentiment.    It's an easy way to add texture.

I hate long blog posts, so I am not gonna bore you to much longer, bare with me here.   I just want to say if your here and have not yet checked out the Unity facebook group called Unity show n tell, I suggest you do.   I have not been that connected to a group since the old two peas in a bucket.  The group is kind and friendly and there are many levels of talent there. So, go take a peek around share and enjoy,

I want to thank you for stopping by I am glad your here.  Don't forget to leave a comment as some girls do giveaways.  This month I am giving away one ITTY  BITTY.  Just a tiny gesture of thanks to you my readers.   I will announce my winner at next months hop.

Happy Halloween

I can hardly believe that Halloween is next week.  Do you have a costume ready?  Do you give out candy? 

This stamp set is from recollections, colored with copic, using dcwv paper and k & co. accessories

For my dear friend (fall edition)

What a fun way to make a quick card.   I really like the way it turned out.  I need to find a solid leaf that is a little smaller so if anyone out there knows of one let me know!
Enjoy the fall,

Happy Thanksgiving....what?

I know I know it's the first day of school, and I'm thinking of Turkey day.  Back to school brings fall, so I guess I am in the mood.

I love coloring direct to stamp, for these type of cards, it's an easy way to get lots of different colors to a stamp. I am not much of a sales women, but SU! markers are perfect for this and they have the best colors.  IMHO!   Copics do not work for direct to rubber stamping.

This set is also from SU, and I really love it.  So much fun!

Happy Back to school day!!!!!!

I see you!

One more halloween card this week.  Then I'll do something elese..OKAY?  I used the martha punch for the little boarder and just some SU paper and google eyes.  I really enjoy this set, I borrowed it from my demo Sue.

Happy Sunday!

Hi all,

I have a great card to share today, well I really like the way it turned out. I used another digistamp from PHINDYSPLACE. I really am enjoying her work. Please go visit her shop on etsy and buy a stamp, they are only about 3 bucks, and she could use the love!

I had a nice sat yesterday, My son & I went to see where the wild things are. I'll give my review on my next blog post.

I used su papers, colored with copics, now I have to tell you I do NOT like this animal, and it's because well, a few years ago, they would freak out if I walked outside my house, I mean like I seriously had to have my husband walk me to my van. They would jump up and down wag thier fluffy tails and ummm squeak, yes yelp squeak and charge at me. My husband thought it was so funny, I did not.

It was hard to color this little bugger, but healing in a way...ROFL!

silly card

This is just a silly little Halloween card I made. I used the same little monster and put him on an earth.

Happy Halloween!

This is my first digi image. I love it so much, it's from MO, go check her out on the digital pencil, it's so worth it. I've seen her books around her her work is really great.

Now, I'm a copic girl and I did have a bit of trouble at first, so what I did was, set to low ink, and then I heat set front and back several times, so that did work for me, don't be surprised if you get a little ink smear, just keep working at it.

Papers are from recollections, and colored with copics!

Halloween card!

This card was used with another dollar stamp & last years k&co paper...(gasp)!

Today is football, football, football!!! Gotta leave here at 12:30 and don't know when we'll be back again! (hopefully the game won't be more than 2 hours!) We have a bbq here at the house, dh invited his friends and his parents, so it's gonna be me & my mother in law hangin' tonight!Have a happy Saturday!

Happy Fall Ya'll !!

I love love love the fall. Tomorrow is the first day of fall. Since I will be away for football tomorrow I thought I would do a lot of my fall stuff today. I got all my fall decorations out. I have to go get mums and pansies for the yard. I hope husband will buy them for me!!!! hint hint. ( he is sitting here and asked me who dh was so I changed it!!)
