Unity's {be inspired} challenge!

Well the Christmas cards are done, the Thank-yous, too! So, on to the Valentine's Day cards!!!!

Here is my entry for the challenge (and a card for a family member!):

Happy Day

FWF January 3, 2014

Happy New Year!!!!

Our first FWF of the new year - how exciting! 

My card is a Thank You (I am so practical) which is my typical card for after Christmas. I need to thank all my family and friends for their sweet gifts!!!

This photo is out of focus!  Whaaaat??? And now it is dark outside and the Linky is ticking!!! So instead of going with a card and bad lighting - here it is out of focus!!!

The chalked stamp says, "One of a Kind" from the SMAK kit "Chalk It Up Elements" 3/2013. I used the technique from Kassi's website . Such a cool technique. It took awhile to find the Ranger Embossing Antiquities Frosted Crystal but totally worth it. 

I am sorry that this photo is so blurry.

Happy New Year!!!!

Unity's FWF - December 27, 2013

Another Christmas card for 2013! 

I love this little penguin! He reminds us to relax and enjoy the season!

Wishing you all the best for 2013!

Unity FWF 12.20.13

Just one of many Christmas cards. 

Unity FWF 12.6.13

This is my first attempt at Anna-Karin's technique of using gesso, dry embossing, and acrylic paint! The stamp is from Unity's "Tags, Glorious Tags". 

I will keep practicing!!!

Unity FWF - 11.22.13

This is a birthday card for my granddaughter, Kyla. Can you tell that the flourishes pop-up when you open the card?
I have had a couple of questions about how I made this pop-up so I will link you up with the Sizzix-Karen Burniston designed die!

Unity FWF 11.15.13

I used Karen Burniston's A2 die with circle label 3-D Pop N Cut insert and her Love Set Sizzlet to make this card. My stamp is Phyllis Harris' Autumn Joy.
