Unity {beInspired} Challenge

So I just got the full set of Tim Holtz Distress Markers, I know, I know, they've been out for a while, but I wasn't paying full price for them and I got a killer deal on them from Blitsy.com. :-) So I did a little experimenting with them these last few days, and then yesterday finally sat down and created an actual project with them. I used a flower petal and a leaf stamp that I got in a grab bag from Unity Stamp Co, and the sentiment is from them too. I'm entering this in their {beInspired} Monthly Challenge for the Color Challenge. Here's what they gave us for a color palette:  I used Black, Orange, Green, Purple and the barest hint of that Cream color that you can't really see in the pic, but eh. I was kind of having a blast, and I loved the colors but didn't really want to do a Halloween project. And then I went to the grocery store. Now I don't know about your grocery store but around here they all have these gorgeous bushels of mums sitting o...

Oh my what a week. The kiddo has been pushing my buttons about going to school all week. So glad it's Friday and I have a couple of days break before he starts up again Monday morning. So it's Friday, which means Friends With Flair with Unity Stamp Co. Kinda makes me love Fridays. :-) So this week I combined FWF with the Unity {be inspired} Challenge they have monthly on their challenge blog. I used the card sketch from the blog and tweaked it just a little.  Here's the sketch: And here's what I did with it: This is the "Doin' It with Style" Itty Bitty from Unity, and the papers are from the Hip Hip Hooray 6 x 6 paper pad from American Crafts. I was having way too much fun coloring in that apron, it's too cute.  Thanks for stopping by, off to play with the other 2 Unity {be Inspired} Challenges this weekend and visit with my Mom. :-)  Have a fun & crafty weekend!

Hi there! I'm back again with another entry for the Unity Stamp Co.'s Monthly Challenge. Love their challenges! So one of the options for the Unity Monthly Challenge is a color challenge. Here's the color palette for the month:  My project is based very loosely on it. I grabbed a few of the colors, but used lighter tones of them. I was having too much fun with this new stamp! :-)  Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you next time!  Happy Scrapping! Brit

Unity's Monthly Challenge

So I fell in love with Unity Stamps not too long ago, I had seen them everywhere, they're from my state, and then I got some for my very own... It's been a lot of buying them since then, lol. But, they do challenges every month, and you can enter up to 3 times(once each using each of the 3 inspiration pieces). I've gotten one done, based on the card sketch and am still hoping to get one done based on the color inspiration, but that's for tomorrow.  Here's the card sketch for the month:  And here's what I did with it:  Honestly, I have way too much fun playing with patterned paper and can't ever use just one, so I've got a few. Plus I had to try out the chalkboard technique with white embossing powder, I got it a few months ago and just now opened it up... Oops, I should use stuff a little sooner than that!  Alright, off to finish up washing my dishes. :-)  Have a scrappy day! Brit
