Welcome back to Day 2 of Growing in Unity! :) Do you know that Unity has very high quality red rubber that's perfect for stamping?

First up, a few stamps from a grab bag that I received recently.


I wanted to use this stamp differently so I stamped it in different inks and cut them. Since I had plenty of buttons to spare - it was the perfect embellishment to decorate my card. I love the sentiment - don't you? :)

WOW! It's my first day being the Growing in Unity girl and I am excited! :) If you don't already know, I'm a big fan of Unity and have folders of red rubber at home.  I just LOVE Unity!

First of all, THANK YOU for dropping by. I have plenty to show this week so let's get started :)

From the recent Unity sales, I got some Phyllis Harris stamps and they are gorgeous!


I LOVE coloring her and she's just so big and pretty! I used distress ink on the background and colored her in with some distress markers.

Next up, some embossed flowers with some distress markers!


The rage right now is the watercolor emboss resist effect. So I just had to try it :) Stamped up some gorgeous Unity flowers and colored them in with distress markers. The background too! Then I stamped some vintage script as well.

If you missed out on the previous sales, do not fret. Unity has a sale going on right now [and ending today!]. This is your chance to go stock up. So start shopping! :)

It  has been raining cats and dogs for the past few days here and boy, am I glad it's the weekend! It's time to do some scrappy and since there's so much rain - I just had to do a card with rain! :)

Today I am very excited! I am guest blogging at All That Stickles blog and have some tips and techniques to share wtih you using Stickles. This is called the "Faux Stained Glass" Stickles technique. For the step-by-step tutorial on how to do this, please click here.

Here's what the finished card looks like :)

Although it's summer all year round here, many places are celebrating spring. Spring brings colors, life, energy, joy and lots of fun! Especially when it comes to scrappy scrappy.

Spring also means lots of flowers so today, I'd like to show you how to make some paper flowers using your scraps.


1. Cut 2 pieces of 12"x1" patterned paper & punch a circle of the size that you like. Here I am using 1 1/2".






Have a great weekend ahead!

Sister Act Card Challenge #1

From last year's Webster's Pages warehouse sale - I have gotten myself a big box of goodies. I'm not kidding when I said it was big. In it, there were 5 packs of designer trims. Have you got plenty of trims and don't know what to do? Well, just make something scrappy with it then :)

If you don't know, Simon Says Stamp is celebrating their 4th birthday! Wow. 4 years already? A big Happy Birthday to you!!

So what perfect timing but to make a card to celebrate with some of my favorite Webster's Pages goodies, right? Here's the card I made. :)



I've used 3 different trims at the top of the card, with a pretty background paper. I added a pink ballerina journal card at the side with a tag. The tag is a stamp from the Girl Land collection that I inked up with some Butterbar ink. Don't you think the star push pin is just cute?

Let's celebrate good time, come on! :)
