Swagger.

Hi everyone!

I'm back with another card to share with you today!

So I've been REALLY rediscovering some stamp companies I loved once before, but with all of the busy-ness of life, and my other DT commitments, I just never really "added" more of their product in my collection. One of these companies is Unity - and I really have to stay off their site because it seems like I ALWAYS want EVERYTHING and there's ALWAYS a sale going on. LOL

I picked up the adorable "Swagger" set a while back and I wanted to try coloring with my Inktense pencils - OMG, I'm so IN LOVE with coloring with watercolor pencils! I don't do it nearly enough, but I seriously LOVE it.

Didn't he come out just so cute?! *squeal*

I just kept the card super simple and paired it up with some of my favorite patterned paper in my stash. I really love how it turned out!

Linking up to this month's Unity {Be Inspired} Challenge (I'm going with the color challenge option!).

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

Here for you always

Hi everyone!

It seems as though I'm neglecting my poor little blog. *sigh* I could go on and on about how life is so busy, three kids are exhausting, I'm so tired, etc. but I'll spare you the boring details. If ever I get a chance to blog (or ever surf my favorite blogs to comment!), it's always at the end of the day, when the kids are asleep, and I've caught up with chores that didn't get done during the day.

Yeah, well... let's just say the chores are still piling up.

And who wants to sit at a computer all night long, anyway?

I'm hoping to get a new laptop computer (for fun and for my Thirty-One Gifts adventure!)... A laptop is easier to use than a stationary desktop computer! But we shall see.

Anyway, I was going through some posts on my blog and realized I hadn't shared this card with all of you yet.

Really simple card that I made using an Itty Bitty stamp set from Unity Stamp Co. I love Unity, but I have to admit, I don't have a lot in my stamp arsenal. This one happened to be on sale one day and I really thought it was cute. :)

I made this around 4th of July (see how long ago that was! *lol*), hence the red, white, and blue.

Hoping I get a chance to blog more often and share more than just crafts in the coming months. Comment below if that's something you're interested in or if I should just stick to blogging about papercrafting! Thanks in advance!

Unity!

When I found out about Unity Stamp Company's monthly stamp kits, I got really interested in them. They're whimsical and cute. And they're super fun to play with, not to mention build my rubber supply. :)

I made a couple of cards a few weeks ago - super fun. I actually busted out my Stickles on the "bee-lieve" card. At first I didn't know what the hype was about with Stickles - but now I'm addicted! *lol* Good thing I already have 3 bottles in my stash. That should tide my cravings, right?

Another card made with Unity stamps! :) I LOVE love LOVE my Copic markers. This cherry image was actually the first image I colored that WASN'T a Greeting Farm stamp. *lol* I love how the cherries came out, don't you?

I was going through my card stash the other day and I realized that I have a TON of birthday cards, a TON of Thank You cards, a good handful of congratulation cards... I don't have enough special occasion cards so I decided to make one.

Another stamp from Unity's KOTM! So fun to color with my Copics. I swear - it's an addiction I tell ya!

I've got a mandatory PALs class I'm taking for 2 days next week and I'll be needing to study for it until then. (and I have to work a couple nights between now and then!) So I have to be good and actually hunker down and STUDY! So no crafting for a few days...at least until after the classes. :( But I'll schedule some blog posts between now and then. I wouldn't want to give y'all a reason to stop visiting me!

Have a great day! :)

Wish me luck on these classes
