Jillibean Thank You

Hi friends!  I hope you're having a fabulous day!  I'm not feeling so hot today.  I've been really sick a lot today.  I'm hoping it passes very soon.  Other than that, we are doing ok.  Wrapping up another week of school and everyone is doing well in their classes.  

Here's a card I made for a call that was rejected.  That happens A LOT especially when I'm good about submitting each month.  I try to make 10-20 cards per call and a lot of that ends up right here on the blog.  And that's a little insight into how I operate.  This card is made from Jillibean Soup Neapolitan Bean Bisque Soup and a Soup Label sticker.  I added some orange satin/grosgrain double band ribbon from May Arts.  

Have a great day, friends!  It's almost the weekend!!!  

FWF: Stay Cool

Hi friends! I hope you are all having a great week! I got my MRI results today, it came back normal! YAY! For now, my doctor has me on a migraine preventative medicine so I hope that works.

Today is Friday and that means Friends With Flair. I went ahead and tried to combine several challenges into one card since I haven't been feeling well enough to craft lately. I made this card using the All Things Unity 31 (Stamps Never Used), Wee Memories 57 (use rubber/clear stamp), and the Card Positioning Systems 219 sketch. I flipped the sketch. This is my brand new Unity and Jillibean Soup Watermelon Gazpacho stamps along with my Jillibean Watermelon Gazpacho paper.

FWF: Growing in Unity Day 6 (Giveaways!)

Hi friends! Welcome to my FWF and GIU Day 5! Thanks so much for joining me today! I am so looking forward to this weekend! I'm hoping that Mother's Day will have a few treats in store for me. As of right now, I know none of the plans. Let's hope there's some fun in store! :)

Don't forget that you can leave comments on each day of my Growing in Unity posts to be entered to win the giveaways I have going on! One is sponsored by Unity Stamp Co and the others are from me! :)

Today, my pal Kate told me I should work with an Itty Bitty. This struck me as a great idea since I barely ever touch them. Aww, poor neglected stamps! She also told me to make a couple Father's Day cards. It sounded good at the time until I figured out I was making two masculine cards. Gah!

Ok, so this is indeed one stamp two ways but they aren't as different as my previous days. But I do what I can. I tend to make masculine cards very clean and simple since that's what my hubby likes. The first one, I decided to make with just plain white paper. The patterned paper on the mushroom is Jillibean Soup from the Dutch Mustard Soup line. I was really trying to make things bright and fun!

My next card is made with Kraft cardstock. I thought it would be fun to make a card where there was a couple more plain mushrooms and then one fun one. I wish I had made a longer card now. Maybe some other time. The patterned paper on this one is My Mind's Eye Lush 2.

Have a great day everyone! Happy Mother's Day to all my mom friends! And don't forget to check out the Unity Blog to see everyone participating in today's Friends With Flair!
