WOOHOO.. Unity Blog Hop!!

Hello everyone.
thanks for coming by my blog today..
you would have come from the Unity Blog..
( just make sure you check out the deets later today)

I am just in LOVE with the new stamps we are releasing today.
Phyllis Harris has 5 sets coming out today..
 I used the image from one of the set,  and the sentiment from another.
I just love how you can just mix and match .

I also love that you can colour these images using my copics.
it gives me the practice to get better.
here is the sneak peek I showed  on the Unity Blog this morning.


  Now here is the full view of the card.


Using my scor pal buddy to score in between my patterned paper.  Also some wonderful papers by My Mind's Eye.. it just gave it the summer feel I wanted.

I just love this image and wait till you see the rest of the releases.. you are just going to flip!!
 They are all GORGEOUS!!



Now it is time to go and see what the Talented and Beautiful Christi Snow has to share!!
 thank you so much for all your wonderful comments.
I so appreciate it!!

December Daily.. 1st-5th

Yeah... can you believe it is already into December..
I have had my project ready for a month.. and then starting the 1st.. life gets busy..
So busy that I am playing catch up with my favourite project of the year!!

this will be my 4th December Daily Album..
 and it seems to be getting bigger in size!!

  This year I went for a binder.. seeing that all the other years this was my most difficult thing to figure out how to bind this project.. Thank you Staples for making a 3 inch white D-ring binder.

so here it is.. my cover. 


the inside of my binder.. it has 2 clear flaps to put stuff in..
 I am thinking this will be great for some special
Christmas cards!!
here I have my basic foundation pages.. you can check out the video  on my You Tube Channel.



I am taking my photo's out of my binder.. it is just easier to capture!

December 1, 2011
lots of photo's and pages.. it is Sydney's Birthday!





 the journaling and the start of
December 2, 2011



December 3, 2011




December 4th
this was our visit to see Santa.. we did this November 27th.. but I wanted to add it to my December pages.
so seeing that it was on a Sunday a week later.. I thought it was a prefect time to show it.

as much as I love the photo on Santa's lap.. we take our own camera and from the mall upper floors
my hubby goes to capture the moments before the photo is taken by the photographer. I love how he is
talking with them, how nervous Sydney is.. these are the moments captured I want to remember. It is a little more personal.. I think just looking at their faces it is more magical.

  see Sydney smiling.. that was the 4th photo.. taken by the photographer.


I do have the front of my December 5th..
 but I am not showing it ..
 it is a present and don't want the person to see it yet!! sorry..
 but her is the back of the page.. Sydney captured by our Family tree!!

 I will try my best to post as often as possible.. Tis the season to be very busy...  Hope you come back and please leave me a commet and tell me what you think.
you can view my older December Daily's in my sidebar.
Hugs,
Angie

Creative Imaginations.. and Unity .. Hip HOP

Hello.. hope you are all having a great day..
I have lots of wonderful photo's today.. long post so you know in advance!!

I am so excited to post my newest creations.
On Tuesday you might have seen my newest Art Girl.. she is
using some Creative Imaginations Devotion papers from Iron Orchid Designs..
I just love love these papers and sticker accents.
I also incorporated these amazing IOD stamps Provencial - my Dear  .

here she is.. this is a 10x20 canvas
we will call her Sydney



you can see all the details of this beautiful paper and the stamps.
I love the hand written word stamp , stamped in red ink.


I also made this wonderful card using some products from The Creative Imaginations
Samantha Walker  Kokeshi line of papers and Unity stamps.



 My last project I used one of my Favourite Paper lines Creative Imaginations Samantha Walker Cowboy/ Cowgirl line.. and the wonderful line of Unity stamps Saddle Up that match.

Here is a little mini album.. directions 
 using 4 sheets of paper that I cut 12x6.. and then scored each at a different
size. the first was scored at 2 inches, second at 3 inches, third at 4 inches and last at 5 inches. and on the fold of each I stacked them together. punched a hole on each end and tied a piece of leather lacing to hold it together.  added some metal findings from the dollarstore. Punched the shorter scored piece with different EK Success, and Martha Stewart punches .


I just love these epoxy stickers.. they add so much in no time at all.


Adding some Kraft shaped papers and using the SW stamps  to add another element on the paper with some memento brown ink. distressing the edges with Tim Holtz tea stain ink.


 loving the tabs you get with the Cowboy/ Cowgirl sticker sheets.. these are amazing and you get so many!!



you get a great variety of button stamps and other images that just make this
 SW Unity stamp set Saddle Up a must have!!









For my sticker title I placed 2 stickers together on both sides of the top paper.. the one side was larger..
and sticky.. so I added some glitter to the sticky part and it was perfect to add that little bling for my cover page. A great way to use your stickers and it is okay for the sticky part to show if it is covered with bling.  



Make sure you comment on both Unity Blog and the Creative Imaginations blog we have some great giveaways on both products.
Now it is time to check out what the beautiful Christi Snow has done !

You can find all these Unity Stamps at the Unity website HERE.
