Would you like to be a guest designer for Unity Stamp Co?

I would too, so I played along in this months challenge on SCS. The only trick to this is you have to use stamps from Unity's May or June 2009 KOTM and follow the sketch. Well, I SADLY don't belong to the Unity kit club but I was able to do a little stamp swap for two stamps in the May kit. I used one of the those stamps to make the "journal" flower on my card.

What I used:

Paper: DCWV Pink Cardstock, Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday, Sassafras Lass Owl Strip

Ink: CTMH Watermelon and Black

Sticker: Making Memories

Other: Button and Pink Thread

Who Loves Gnomes?

I do, I do! Anyone else? Odd Bird Planet has SO many cute gnome stamps that I had to sit down and use them for this weeks Card Patterns Sketch Challenge hosted by OBP! I don't know how well I stuck to the actual sketch, but it's all open for interpretation, right?

My Talented Friend!

I didn't make these ADORABLE card sets but they were sent to me in the mail by my dearest friend Gina and I HAD to share! She is lucky enough to live by a store called Green Tangerines and takes a class on how to use her cricut (I need one of those). I sometimes get her finished projects and the instructions on how to make them. OH, she also send me sheets of 12 x 12 acrylic to play with, I'm so excited!! I only own black stazon, time to buy more! Thanks for looking, feel free to leave my friend Gina some love.

It's ETSY TIME!

Sadly it's my last week as a guest DT with the Etsy Inspired challenge team, I had such a fun month with them! I of course will continue to play along though. :)

This weeks Etsy Shop is Tony Carlisle's Photo Gallery. He takes wonderful photographs of many things, but a lot of them are nature focused. I used this photo of the moth on daisies as my inspiration. Don't forget to go to Heart Hugs Designs to play along for your chance to win an 8x10 photo!

Yes it's more of the Autumn Leaves Pretty Poppies Line, but it seems to work so well for many things! How could I not use it for this weeks challenge? It was a prefect match!

What I used:

Paper: Autumn Leaves Pretty Poppies

Ribbon: Autumn Leaves Pretty Poppies

Stamps: Unity's August KOTM (bird), Feb KOTM (journaling box) and Hey Chick sentiment

Ink: CTMH Cranberry and Black

Other: QK Mushroom, glitter glue, 3D foam

TOOT TOOT!!

First of all I want to thank all of you for being wonderful blog friends and leaving such kind comments all the time. THANK YOU! :D

I made this layout yesterday after Emily over at EAD Designs asked me to be a full time Creative Team member! WOO HOO! I was so beyond excited and of course I said YES! There is an announcement on her blog today.

This layout actually started out as a card and evolved from there as I got to thinking that I had never scrapbooked a page about ME. I was also reading an online article on Scrapbooks Etc. saying that you should scrapbook about your blog or online life for your kids to look back on and get an idea of "you". So I went with it and this is what I came up with. I have to go back and find the article, cause I believe it's actually a contest as well.

Before having my second baby I used to be CAUGHT UP on my scrapbooks and would scrap recent happenings in our lives just after they happened. Needless to say I haven't done that in a while, LOL. So it was lots of fun to scrap this event right away. I printed my blog banner (which my husband designed for me, now I just need him to FINISH my blog) and the photo of me on our color printer. I always go and have my photos printed at the store, so it was neat to have what I needed ASAP. OH, I also used the rub on applicator that come with my EAD Rub ons to apply the streaks of cranberry ink, in case you were wondering what other uses they had. ;)

What I used:

Black Rub Ons: EAD DESIGNS!

All Paper: Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday (they are having a DT call if you haven't heard!)

Ribbon: Cosmo Cricket Honey Pie

Stickers: Making Memories Sabrina

Stamps: CTMH June Word Puzzle, Whimsy Numbers, Simple Invites

Ink: CTMH Black and Cranberry
