FWF and a Winner!!!!

Can You believe it's Friday already i know I can't and just like I knew it would summer is going by way to fast!!!

Today is the 15th which means another fabulous Unity Challenge!!!!

The Challenge:

CIRCLES

It can a be a circle shaped card circles on your Dp just for a couple examples it's all up to you so many possibilities with this challenge!!!



For my card I used the new Basic Grey Out of Print Dp and I used the stampin' Store Kit Delight In Beauty!!


I thought I would also show another fun project that i am going to do with my kids. I found the wood chips at Michaels the other day and of course my head was overflowing with ideas on how to use these chips. I decided on a key chain. I first traced my shape on some pattern paper and then cut out the shape. I then found a fun little image(Ippity Kit) that would fit stamped it and colored it with Copics got my Mod Podge out to adhere the stamped image onto the wood chip used a hole piercer to punch my hole for the key chain.Sanded the edges to give it a more finished look and then inked the edges and added on more layer of mod podge and then added the key chain ring so easy and so fun!!! Lots of different ideas on how to dress these up and I will show you some other fun ways to do this in the upcoming weeks!!!
Before i get to the winner of the blog candy I just want to thank everyone who takes the time to come by and look and leave comments it really does mean so much to me and i can never thank my readers enough you are all the best and I feel so lucky to be able to have this fun hobby and share it with you!!!!
