Raspberry Suite Challenge with Style!

Dawn McVey is hosting another great Raspberry Suite Challenge! I just love the color choices in all of her challenges! This one includes soft yellow, light aqua, chocolate and cream.

So I have this new stamp from Unity and I just had to use it!  I had so much fun with this card.  This wonderful stamp is in the Treasure to Me stamp set. It was only available for a short time and then... not until CHA!

Here is a close up of this great stamp! I used some Basic Grey paper from teh Lemonade collection for the dress... isn't it cute?  I just love it. I also used some of my copic glitter pens and some generic ones to color the accessories.  I used a copic to color the "chest".  I also cut out the bottom sash and the sash around the waist from the lemon tart paper from Papertry ink. I used the yellow glitter pen from copic to give it a litlle bling.  All my other papers are Papertry ink too (dark chocolate and aqua mist).  I used the french script bg stamp from SU to creat a background. I heat embossed it with clear ep.  My ribbon is martha stewart. 

Well I hope you enjoy my latest.  I am hoping to get into my craft area more often once our new windows are installed. We are looking at the Friday so hopefully the basement will be a bit warmer. It gets rather cold down there seeing it's unfinished.  My wonderful husband promises me this will make a difference.

That's it for now! Have a great week!

Rock on with me.... Unity Style!

Happy Friday!!! Friends with flair here we are!!! For the first time ever I am participating in Unity's Friends with Flair! I was also able to incorporate Dawn McVey's Raspberry Suite color challenge and The Pink Elephant's weekly challenge which just happened to be a sketch. Make sure to check it out! . Better than that I was able to use my UNITY OCTOBER KIT OF THE MONTH!!!!



Here are the copics I used to color my card Rock On Card


I also used PI's paper (the green, pink and brown) while the kraft and vanilla are SU. The awesome stamps are UNITY of course. These are from the October KOM. I used my fiskars punch for the fancy edge and used the SU build a brads and bright delight rub-ons. I also used two of Unity's background stamps, the distressed dots and worn grid.



This card just makes me want to sing. I added the 1,2,3 because it made me think of a band warming up... 1... 2... 1,2,.3... ROCK ON!

This adorable card show cases the KOM stamps!!! Don't you just love them. The clouds are from the July Kit and this adorable plane and banner are from this months kit. I used some of the paper left over with the distressed dots wove in some string stamped the images on Basic Grey paper and there you have it.




Make sure to check out Unity's Fall Garage Sale which is happening ALL weekend!! Deals that you just can't pass up!

Have a ROCKIN' Friday and Happy hopping!

Go Ahead Wish!

Here are the challenges that I used in this card.

I am SO happy with how this card turned out. This stamp is from the Unity September’s club kit. My paper is from Unity's September Scrapper's kit. I used some paper flowers and a build a brad from SU to make my flowers. My ink is all SU, chocolate chip, real red, very vanilla, and Bermuda bay. I used the Sweet sketch Wednesday sketch for my lay out and my color combo is this week’s Dawn McVey's color challenge.

I have to admit that when I put these colors together I was a bit unsure of how they would turn out. I love chocolate and kraft so that didn't worry me to much but when I added the red... I thought there was no way this was going to work. Luckily for me I found this fab paper which is double sided and had a place to start.

I hope you like it as much as I do! Please let me know what you think. I love feeback!

Raspberry Suite #16 & 2 Sketches 4 You Challenges

Here is another challenge from Dawn McVey! What do you think of these colors? I also used the layout for 2 Sketches For You on this one. Double the challenge... double the fun!





What I used...
Stamp set is from Unity. It is their August set that is available only in stores and is WELL worth it. I just got mine and now the September one is out which is a must have.

My paper is SU except the cream. I used a retired dp, chocolate chip, kraft and more mustard. I used memento brown ink to stamp and a copic marker for the details on the cars.

This card is my anniversary card for my husband. We had our 2nd wedding anniversary today. He had to be out of town for work so we celebrated over the weekend and a wonderful time!

I hope you like my card and please tell me what you think.

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #15

Here is my entry into Dawn McVey's wonderful color challenge.
I used SU colors as I don't have PI's colors. You will see cameo coral, mellow moss, vanilla and pink passion. I used brown ink for the saying and cameo coral for the dots on the vanilla with embossing ink on the pink paper. I love using embossing ink to give just a touch of extra color without changing my original color. The ribbon is SU's from the sale-a-bration catalog. I love this ribbon and have LOTS of it! My stamp is is Dawn's own, Scattered Showers. I also used a punch from SU to punch out "So Happy for you".

Sorry about my poor quality photos. I wanted to get this post up so I took the pictures in my classroom.

Have a great Friday!!!
