Unity Inspiration Challenge

I got brand new paper today...
My fingers were itching to make a card...
My facebook feed told me that Unity Stamp Company is hosting a new Inspiration Challenge...
I checked it out,
Found this fabulous sketch,
and went to work!

I Love, Love, Love everything about this card! These new papers from the My Mind's Eye Collectable collection are so happy and spring-y! This sketch is so fun! I love the fishtail banner and the sentiment on the side... two of my favorite things. So, really, how can you go wrong? And the stamp is one of my all-time favorites from Unity.

 So, if you are looking for a fun, new challenge head on over to Unity Stamp Co. and check it out for yourself. If scrapbooking is more your style, they have a sketch for that too. Super fun.

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your day!

For The Girl...

A while back I placed my first order with My Favorite Things. I am probably the last person in the world to discover this awesome company and all of the wonderful things they have to offer. 

This week I finally had a chance to sit down and just plaaaaaay in the craft room. It feels good to feel good for a change! So, I have been trying out some of my new goodies and creating up a little storm!

MFT has all kinds of fun challenges to play along with. This card is based on their monthly Guest Designer Sketch which I just loved, so I had to play along. I only modified it slightly. *wink*

I just love the Die-namics Gift Card Pocket, it is such a clever die, and the pocket assembles so easily! The coordinating stamp set is just fabulous. And, I can't say enough about the Die-namics Fishtail Flags Layers STAX, I have been using them on nearly every card I make since I got them! 

Here is what the card looks like with a gift card in the pocket. I used a card for my favorite Local Scrapbook Store, because it matched so nicely with the papers! =)

I just love the way this turned out. I am so excited to make more cards using the Gift Card Pocket Die-namics. The possibilities are endless!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day!
