Friends With Flair!!

Hello everyone.. welcome FRIDAY!!

I have this great project to share you with you all today. The great thing is at 12 noon today you can head on over to the Unity Blog and I will share the Tutorial on how I made the frame for my project...

 FUN FUN FRIDAY!!

Ooh La La

I had seen a frame made like this a couple of weeks ago and finally yesterday had to just figure out how to make it. These amazing Samantha Walker stamps were just perfect for this Home Decor piece.

The best thing is that stunning Doily was brought to me by my MIL on her recent trip to Europe. I just love the flower shape of it. Perfect for this SW Ooh La La set.

Have a great weekend.

HAPPY HIP HOP !!

Hello Everyone.. welcome to Hip Hop Thursday

If you happen to just come here first... why don't you start

over at the

UNITY BLOG

see what the Beautiful Angela has to share!

Today I am sharing a project with you all... Yes, it is repurposed.If you know me I just love to take something laying around my house and give it new life..

So Check this Beauty out!!

Dream it

Believe it

I started off with an old lime green chipboard organier.. I got this in a Tinkerbell Scrapbook kit many years ago.. I painted it black and mod podged it to seal the black paint. It is 12x12.

Using a variety of  Unity stamps with some Tim Holtz distressed Inks.

   

I layered alot of the Stamps from the April and May Unity KIT OF THE MONTH!!

  

Inking some of the photo itself.. I also layed it on these beautiful Bo Bunny Papers Gabriella collection and the Time piece collection..these were all 6x6 paper packs.. perfect for this project..

I had some deep grey embellishments and I used my brown copic markers to give it more of a copper brown finish to match the inks I was using.

All the photo's are printed out wallet size on my printer at home.. Brother5890CN... I am just in love with this new printer.. it gives you professional printed photo's.

Some papers were paperpieced and glittered.The large blue flower was embossed layered and glittered.

Most of the photo's except the black and white one was taken this weekend.. I was so happy to actually get some photo's of my son smiling and laughing.. a rare moment for me not to just get the back of his head or hand.. you know he is 15 and camera shy..hehe.

I hope you will find something in your house that has been sitting around and needing some love. Alter it and stamp your heart away... The May KOM is perfect for a wonderful family project like this one.

HIP HOP!!

Hello everyone..

Yesterday I had this great idea to make some flowers out of denim..

well it was a fun task and then all of a sudden it lead to making this piece of Art.

Using some wonderful

Samantha Walker stamps,

some Unity Background and May KOM stamps

and some great Samantha Walker papers!!

Inspired by doing a Christy Tomblinson Art background.

here is just a start.

I didn't want to do a she Art kind of canvas.. I wanted to use this wallet size photo to be the focus of what I was going to make.
I got these amazing Samantha Walker Papers (Heidi collection) with some stickers and diecuts.. she was so generous in sending me some extra goodies from a blog hop winnings. So cutting this gorgeous paper for my flowers and highlighting them with copics.. I just love the colours.


Paperpiecing the poppy flowers from Unity's May KOM with some Fancy Pants papers.
Adding the Giving it Meaning Background stamp white some painted circles.



Here is the May Kit of the Month.. I just love the variety of images!!


Samantha Walker's Encompassed Grace

I used the sides of the larger image
to ink up some of the great floral details.



You can see this by the photo and in the corners of the canvas.

Samantha Walker's Fall Family Memories

has some amazing stamps

that you can paint the image on your canvas.


You can see the painted details here below.


Unity has so many different stamp images in so many kits it is easy to let you imagination take over with inks, paint and paper..

National Scrapbooking Day!!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day

What a great weekend to get your Scrapbooking mojo working..

Us girls at Unity have been busy preparing for this day with a special Cookbook project.

We all made some yummy recipes, took photo's and made layouts.. so make sure you check out all the Design Team for this special addition of National Scrapbooking Day!!

Shrimp Alfredo..

One of my kids favourite meals.. it is easy. Honestly it only take me 25 minutes to get from the stove to the table. It is also delicious. Now if you don't like shrimp you can use Chicken in it's place.

Using Marah Johnson's Art and Soul stamping set.. I came up with this design.

Using Martha Stewarts round about punch to add some detail to the kraft cardstock.. I love this punch.

For the full recipe just click HERE for all the details and a whole lot more..
