Friends with Flair Friday!

...but not so much Flair here=( I'm sooo sorry but I came down with something fierce tonight and feel awful. I'm so sorry I couldn't create a beautiful card with Unity stamps on it. I hope you can all forgive me. I still hope you have a fantastic Friday with all the Friends with Flair! You can see them all HERE on Angela's Unity Blog. Good luck finding that blinkie! :)

Breast Cancer Awareness Blog Hop & Friends with Flair Friday!

Michelle at Inside My Own Private Idaho started a Blog Hop(e) for Breast Cancer Awareness month! Isn't that perfectly delightful? :) I'm happy to be apart of it! If you're here for the hop, you should have come from sweet Sunshine's blog. If you just happened upon my blog, head on over to Michelle's blog to start the hop! I am giving away this Cosmo Cricket Friends chipboard kit (new in a box) to one lucky commenter from this post! (because we should all cherish our friends!) *must comment on 10/30/09, winner will be announced on 10/31/09*

If you're here for Unity Friends with Flair Friday, you're in the right spot! You are also eligible to win, just comment on my post! Be sure to check out all the talented Friends with Flair on Unity's Blog HERE.
I made this card using Unity's stamps from the Oct KOM. I love the quotes they come up with! This card is honor of Breast Cancer Awareness of course, but I also chose to use the card sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday and their color challenge.

Then I decided to kick it up a notch (thanks Emeril!) and add some sparkle because that's what the challenge is all about at Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog! I added some gold stickles to the sunshine and rock candy stickles(----> very cool!) to the pink ribbon.

...and a close-up...

Friday Friends with Flair!

Today is a great day!

One, because it's Friday Friends with Flair showcasing Unity Stamps, and two, I'm alive and healthy {thank you God}! I feel so blessed to have the life I have in this awesome free country. {Thanks to all our hardworking dedicated military personnel!}
I hope you're enjoying your Friday and the amazing creations by all these talented beautiful women that are participating in Friends with Flair! Be sure to stop by Unity's blog HERE to get the list of all the blogs.

I love Unity stamps because they are so unique. They have a very random wonderful selection of stamps in their kits! I love how they slipped in a few wedding stamps in the last two KOM's. I used a couple here on this layout (also 52 sketches...52 weeks challenge), which is a present for my friend Kwang who got married in August. I used the Mr. & Mrs. stamp and the "one love <3 one life" stamp in my journaling. (both are from the Sept & Oct KOM's)



And here's a close-up so you can really see those Unity stamps! :)

And in case you didn't get enough Unity yet...I inked up another stamp from the Oct KOM and used it on the cover of a travel album (Making Memories) I made for our vacations. I used a mask with some glimmer mist on the cover, some bling and thickers ( I love thickers!).

Friends with Flair Friday with Unity Stamp Co!

Today is Friends with Flair Friday and I'm so excited to be a part of it! Be sure to check out Angela's Blog HERE for all the other Friends with Flair participants!
Also, be sure to check out the sweet sale they are having at Unity until Sunday!

The fall card I'm sharing today features stamps from the Unity Sept KOM (kit of the month). I'm using these while anxiously awaiting the Oct KOM! :) I used distress ink on the background with a dobber, stamped it with my background stamp using Ranger distress embossing ink,(I need to get a Unity background stamp!...and since there is a sale, I'm going to!) then I used clear embossing powder on it. Then I went back over it with the same color distress ink. It just so happened to match my new fall papers I got from Stampin' Up! This card is also for the "Fall" challenge over at The Pink Elephant this week.

I stamped one of the heart flowers inside the card since the ones on the outside are only half stamped. And here is a close-up so you can see the embossing...


I also created this layout for 52 Sketches...52 Weeks. I used the round month stamp from the Unity Sept KOM since I needed a large circle image for that spot and that stamp fit perfectly!
