FIVE

Happy Weekend everyone.  Today I'm sharing a layout I created with Simple Stories and Unity Stamps entitled FIVE.  I love this photo of my youngest son on his fifth birthday.  He had been sick but was able to get up and blow out his candles on his cake...it was so pitiful.  The colors of this paper collection just screamed to be used with this photo and I love the way it turned out.  I've entered this in the Unity Friends with Flair.

See you tomorrow. 

Start of My Art Journal

OK, so I've decided to jump on the band wagon and start an art journal.  I love the idea of just creating and seeing what you can come up with...some of them loving and maybe some of them not.  I'm happy to report my first page...I love.  I've also choosen to make it a journal not just about my art but about me and where I am in my life.  Heck I can't think of anything more personal than art.

I can't tell you how many Unity Stamps I used on this project...I just kept reaching for them, each one echoing my feelings more and more....

So let me know if you have an art journal...I'd love to hear about yours.

Friends with Flair Friday

Today is Friends with Flair over at Unity.  I made this card with some of their newest releases...and I'm so loving the Christy Tomlinson stamps...OMWord they are awesome. 

I used the Reverse Punchinella

and the

Vintage Scripture...(LOVE IT)

Go take a looksie for yourself at all the new releases, you'll have to get some for sure.

Hugs,

Love a Little Challenge

I love to join in a good challenge so when I saw Angela from Unity posted a challenge to use one of the stamp of the weeks in a card...I had to jump in.

I also used the sketch from Card Patterns, which is for Unity this week, so the two went hand in hand.

Hope you have a great week and I'll be posting several projects so be sure to check back in.

Hugs,

Live in 2012

Happy 2012! Wow...does time fly or what?  Well I'm not one to make New Year Resolution...but I do actually have one for this year.  It's to LIVE!!!  To enjoy life and be the best person I can be never taking one day for granted.  So this card goes with my theme for 2012...LIVE LIFE TO IT'S FULLEST. 

I adore the die cuts I used in this project...

Peony (which is one of my must have from Scrapping Cottage)

Ornate Circle Frames

The stamp sentiment is from Unity and the paper collection is Pion...isn't it just beautiful.

Remember to LIVE LIFE
Hugs,

You're A Hoot
