In honor of Angela at Unity! You are not ALONE !!

I too live in an 

organized 

mess! 

My craft area

looks about the same. 

Here is my desk at school.  See the cards in the corner? Those are my challenge cards. I bring in most of my stuff to share with my co-workers! I appreciate their feedback :) 

What a great group of people I work with! 

Back to my desk... I know where most things are. LOL

I will clean it off and get all organized then I can't find anything...

that is why it is an organized mess!! 

Angela you are NOT the only one! 

Hope you're having a great Tuesday!

Happy Anniverary Unity!!!

Last week Unity Celebrated their 2nd anniversary.  There were tons of games and challenges.

Of course I participted!!! Here they are

Challenge #1 - The Martini Sketch 

And my take on this wonderful sketch.... 

Challenge #2- Unity is going to the birds.... 

create a new project using a bird or tree image!

My take on this challenge...

I used my new Unity/Cosmo Cricket set, Garden Variety. I also used the Garden Variety paper.  The flower is the Tim Holtz Sizzix die and the flowers are from Michael's. 

Challenge #3 - LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! - use your first Unity set!

My first set is Eco Chic... and here is what I created! 

I also incorporated the color challege with a twist... 

colors were Orange, Green and Yellow - the twist CAS! 

Challenge # 4 - The Triple Take Challenge!

The concept of this challenge is:

• given sketch
• 4 patterned papers
• a button or bling embellishment

This was a fun Challenge.... and here is what I made

I used my April KOM and Cosmo Paper.. Which I am in LOVE with.. and a 1"x1" inchie. I also used my chalk inks and distress inks. My buttons are from my lot that consist of all different brands. 

Another Challenge was from Maren's blog!

She is AMAZING!! I love her work! 

Her challenge....

Make a card, layout or project inspired by something in your Paper Crafts publication.

Since I am a subscriber to Paper Crafts magazine and have purchased a number of the special magazines I had no problem finding inspiration. 

I used one of Maren's own creations from page 29 of the Card Creations - Start to Finish issue

 

Here is my card...

Again I used my Unity/Cosmo Garden Variety stamps and I used the garden variety paper! I colored in the tomato with my copics and distressed the edges with some Tim Holtz inks.  My ribbon is by Martha Stewart. 

One last Challenge is the Hip Hop #5 Sketch Challenge

And my take on this challenge is...

Well that would be a WRAP!!! I hope you like my cards and I hope they win a thing or two, too! 

Have a great week!

Unity and Cosmo Collide!!!

Hello ladies and HAPPY Friday!!!

I am so stinkin' excited to share with you the amazing set I bought at Archivers this past Sunday.(and will be back for the Unity Trunk show)

They were having a Tim Holtz demo and I just recently started buying his products 

(have you seen his sizzix dies... they are to die for)

I have never been to Archivers before so I thought what the heck... it's only 2 hours away right? lol

So I lined a a couple of friends for the trip... they bailed... I went alone! 

It was a nice drive and I have started book 5 in the Woman's  Murder Club by James Patterson.  

I made a few wrong turns but safely arrived at Archivers.  Boy was I excited.  

When I walked in I immediately saw the Cosmo Paper that I have been dying to get. 

So what do I do... Pick some up for purchase of course. 

I then contined to look around and what did my eyes spy

UNITY STAMPS!!!

So I went over there with the hopes of picking up one of the Donna Downey sets I don't have. 

NO LUCK :( 

But to my surprise I see a label that includes Cosmo Cricket!!! They have the stamps.

But wait a minute... 

I didn't think they were out yet.

At that point I didn't care because I was getting my grubby little hands on some! :)  

SO I added the Garden Variety set to my basket and contimplated over the other...

2 SETS that coordinate with the Material Girl paper and goodies!! 

As I was on a budget :( 

I only went with the one set... but OMG was I excited!!! 

So without further ado.... 

How cute is that bee?  I used my copic glitter pens to color the yellow on the body and then some clear on the wings.

Everything is Cosmo Cricket and Unity except for the brad (hobby lobby) and the twine which I won on a blog.

Now for one more (becuase I left the other one I made in my classroom and I won't be back at school tomorrow but I promise to post it later next week). 

I bought some templates to do the butterfly at Archivers - one of my many wonderful items that I scored on! 

This isn't my favorite card but it works. I also picked up the chipboard pcs (that is the flower pot). 

The card I made that is at school is with the cow! Way too cute! 

Well there you have it... another peek at the new Unity/Cosmo stamps and papers! I am in love! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 

Mine would be even better if we get lucky and find some Morel Mushrooms (MMMMM)! 

Later - ~jennine

Happy Friends with Flair on this Good Friday.
