Bird of spring

The snow is finally finished around here, and it looks like we have had our last frost (fingers crossed). Each morning I awake to the birds singing.

Here is a card I made for my Cardigans club at Backroads Plum Crazy. Our theme for this month is birds and cages.



The centerpiece stamp is from Unity Stamp Company. Isn't it adorable! Coincidentally, the Unity Stamp Company Challenge for this month is all about birds!

And, of course, I needed some sketch inspiration for this card, so I turned to The Sweet Stop.

Supplies:
Stamp: Unity Stamp Company
Ink: Versafine
Ribbon Cardstock: CTMH
Patterned Paper: Kaisercraft

Sweet Day

Time for another sketch challenge, and this time it's The Sweet Stop and their 100th sketch. Here is my take:

Notice that yummy new patterned paper? That's the fun, new Naomi's Collection from Scribble Scrabble. The pastels are different from the regular Easter egg colors and are juicy enough to highlight the stamps from Unity Stamp Co.

And here is The Sweet Stop's sketch that I rotated 90 degrees:

Supplies:
Cardstock: CTMH (Black), Georgia Pacific (White), Coredinations (Peach)
Patterned paper: Scribble Scrabble (Naomi's Collection)
Ink: Memento (Tuxedo Black)
Border punch: Fiskars
Flowers: Petaloo Flora Doodle
Buttons: CTMH

Mama said

I love me some Unity Stamps! And here is my entry for the {BLING} it on! challenge at All Things Unity. The challenge was to create a card using Unity Stamps and lots of bling (sparkles, glitter, crystal, buttons, etc.).

And, being the sketch-lovin' gal I am, I had to find the perfect sketch for inspiration. Luckily it is Super Sketchy Sunday at 365 Cards. Take a look at this sketch:

Supplies:
Cardstock: CTMH (Black, Colonial White)
Patterned paper: My Mind's Eye (Stella Rose)
Stamps: Unity Stamp Co.
Buttons, border stickers: The Girls' Paperie
Ink: Memento (Tuxedo Black), Colorbox Chalk (Blackbird)
Black crystals: Prima (Say it in crystals)
Clear crystals: CTMH Sparkles
Border punch: Fiskars

Fashion forward

With the time change, we did our spring forward thing. Now we go fashion forward.

This month's Unity Challenge is all about fashion. So, I knew right away that I wanted to use my new Simply Stylish paper from Scribble Scrabble along with stamps from Unity's January and March Kits-of-the-month. The trio of shoes was perfect for the this week's Papertake Weekly Challenge.

For the composition I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch that I modified slightly by rotating it 90 degrees.

Thanks for looking!

{ippity} for Mojo Monday

The mailman brought me two fun {ippity} stamp sets. (Thanks, Maria)! The main purpose for those sets is wedding invitations and cards. I'm working on invitations for a friend of mine.

However, before I get cracking on those, I had to play. And what better excuse than this week's Mojo Monday Challenge.

My first Unity Stamps kit arrived, and I began playing. The three little shoes worked perfectly for this week's Mojo Monday Challenge.
