All things Unity-Twine!

Hey there! Thanks so much for all your sweet comments this week on my blog, I know it's been a BUSY week here, but I love to share what I've been up to:)

Sarah Henton emailed and asked if I'd be a July Guest Designer for her All things Unity challenge blog so OF COURSE I said YES! Some of you may remember that I used to be on the Unity DT so you KNOW I love them:)

Check out the sponsor for this week's challenge!

If you play along in the challenge for the next two weeks, you could win ourJULY Prize Package {below}! You can check out their fabulous site HERE!

Unless you've NEVER been to my blog before, you KNOW how much I love my twine! And I get all my twine from The Twinery, they have such a huge collection of colors and I just love the quality of this stuff!

Here's my card for this fun challenge...

I wanted to do something really special with the twine, so I glued all the colors down on a heart and nested it inside a bigger heart (Nestabilities). I absolutely ADORE how this card came out, exactly how I'd envisioned it! The sentiment is from one of my Unity Kit of the Months. I can't remember which month, or even which year, but I looked for a sentiment about love or hearts and this one was PERFECT! 

Make sure to stop by the All things Unity Blog and link up your projects using TWINE! 

Thanks for stopping by today:)

Lovely Bits and Baubles

Hey there! Today the DT is showing off the new February Kit of the Month! It's called "Nothing but Blue Skies", isn't that just *SO* UNITY? So uplifting and happy, I love this company:)

Unfortunately, I don't have my stamps yet so I had to play with my OTHER favorite, Lovely Bits and Baubles! I am LOVING this fun new kit! It's not available YET but will be SOON!

I decided to go a little shabby today, mostly because I don't have my mojo with me and I love how ANYTHING shabby is AWESOME, lol! I didn't even have to try to hard, lol! The dp is from "The Very Thought of You" by Sweet Shoppe Designs! I printed it on HP Everyday Matte photo paper:) Also got to use some of my new Prima bling! I love this stuff, I thought it was going to be hard to peel off the acetate sheet and that it would break, but it came off in one piece, yeah! It's the little things that make me happy, lol!

Don't forget to stop by the Unity Blog today, I bet Angela is up to something and has a good sale up her sleeve;) You'll also get to see a list of all the chickies playing today!

Thanks for stopping by!

A new month, a new KOM!

There is a NEW KOM being introduced this month at Unity *if you still see the October KOM, keep checking till the November kit is up*! You will *LOVE* it! I don't have it yet, or I would have a project using the KOM to share with you *bbooooohoo!* I can't wait to get it, all the stamps will be muched loved, I'm sure of it:)

If you sign up for this kit this month, you get LOVE BUG for FREE! I don't have a pic of that one, but if you go HERE you can see it! TOTALLY HIPPILIOUS!!!

I do have something to share, a card I made for today's Featured Stamper challenge on SCS! We're CASE'ing Miss BOO this week! Her cards are CAS and amazing, loved her gallery!
Here's my card based on THIS SWEET CARD by Miss Boo!
My card base is Pure Poppy by PTI. I stamped the oranaments from Merry and Bright in Pitch Black on white cardstock and mounted it on a piece of Sweet Blush. The ornaments were colored with Copics *and then heavily with Red stickels:)*
I stamped the sentiment and then cut it out with a circle punch. I loved Miss Boo's simple layout so this was a very fun card:)

Hope you enjoy your Sunday! I did, Billy and I spent the afternoon together and then went out to dinner, it was wonderful:) Now we're hangin out watching tv so I'll see ya later!

May the sneak peeks begin!

This week, several of the Unity DT gals are going to be giving you SNEAK PEEKS of the FABULOUS new MAY Kit of the Month. This kit is... okay, you know what? I say it every month but I'm going to say it again! This kit is amazing and one of my favorites EVAH and I DON'T CARE WHO KNOWS IT!:) The stamps are the perfect size, both for carding and scrapping! The individual stamp we're peeking for you today is this adorable line of bird cages and sentiment...

Isn't it *SO* cute? Aviary stamps are quite the trend these days, I hope it sticks around for awhile cause I am DIGGIN' IT! Here's my little card using this stamp:

In the kit, this is one solid stamp but I chose to cut mine apart because I'm goofy like that;) Also, I like to be able to place my sentiment where I want cause I'm a rebel like that! I stamped the line of bird cages a couple times and then clear embossed my Tea Time Toile background stamp over it. It's pretty IRL, too bad you can't see the detail of that clear embossing in the picture! If you want to see MORE samples using this stamp (and why wouldn't you???) head on over to these talented ladies' blogs and get your blurf (blog surf?!) on!

There will also be prizes for new members there! Well, I'm out for today but come back tomorrow for another sneaky peeky of the new KOM!!!

Hip Hop keeps getting better!

Every week I look forward to Hip Hop and the excitement that Angela has hiding up her sleeves! Well this week she really knocked it out of the ball park with "My Unity Place"! Have you been there yet? You just HAVE to come join, we are planning some FUN things over there! Unity is not leaving Splitcoast, My Unity Place is just another fun hangout for all of us Unity Fans!

I have a few fun KOM projects to share with you today:) Guess what? I SCRAPPED! I KNOW! See, I am always so proud of myself when I do, I don't know why I don't scrap more often! I guess I'm lazy, it takes so much longer than a card, lol! Well, I sure plan on trying to scrap at least 3 layouts a month. We'll see how that goes!

Here's my layout:

That's a picture of my friend, her hubs, and their little guy Rojo when he was born a couple years ago. I'm making her an album, but this one is going to be framed:) The title was made with my Heidi Swapp Masks, those things are SO fun and some Ranger Paint Dabber paint in black! The dp is by K&Co. You can see some of my beloved April KOM stamps on here can't you? I used the frame, the scalloped sentiment, the floral block and some leaves stamped on the dp. I love this layout and can't wait to find a nice sophisticated black frame for it!

Next up is a card I made using this weeks sketch on SCS!

That little bird stamp is just so dang cute! The "Different Dreams" background stamp and the sentiment from the March KOM fit perfectly, wouldn't you say?;)

Last up is my card for the first My Unity Place sketch challenge! Come on over and see it HERE...

I used that floral butterfly block from the April KOM again. I made that dp using Alcohol Inks by Ranger! I have really been practicing lately, I'm loving all the fun distress techniques I've been reading about so I went and bought a bunch of Tim Holtz goodies from Eclectic Paperie (AMAZING customer service here folks, I cannot say enough about these sweet girls!) Expect to see more Distressing here at the ole' blog;)

Well, I'm going to send you on your way to finish up the Hop! Go see my fabulous friend....

***ROBYN!***
