I Wish You Many Hugs

Unity Stamp Company 

has moved their weekly challenge

over to their Facebook page.

Honestly, I kind of miss the 

inspiration and camaraderie

that was established among the

players on the Unity blog.

BUT I enjoy their great quality

stamps!

AnyWho -- I've used this adorable 

image from Unity called "First Love".

The artist, Phyllis Harris, was who 

brought me to Unity several years ago.

You can check out her line of 

fabulous red rubber stamps 

in the Unity store HERE.  

 The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils

on kraft cardstock.

The layout was inspired by the current

Sugar Pea Mix It Up Challenge #13

Good morning! Jodie's on a roll with creating 

floral images and  today's

We've got great projects to share 

with you and to hopefully inspire you!

 The digital image was printed onto Stampin' Up!

Whisper White cardstock and colored with

Copic Markers and Prismacolor pencils. 

A thin layer of Wink of Stella was

added to the blossoms for shimmer.

are from Verve Stamps.

Art Impressions Challenge #190 - Glitter and Shimmer

Do you follow Art Impressions?

They produce fabulous quality rubber

stamps and the creativity has 

been continuing for over 29 years!

This week's challenge gave me

an excuse to play with glitter.

I also inked up the fun

Mini Raccoon Spinner set

for this fun creation.

I applied orange Stickles to the cupcake

and Stampin' Up!  Dazzling Diamond 

Glittler to the circle frames.

The cupcake designer paper is also

from Stampin' Up! and perfect

for this fun spinner card.
