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 !
