Happy Thursday!!!!
I hope everyone has had an amazing holiday I know I have just spending time with my family it really has been great!!
I have also got some crafty time in which is always good!!
The DT is hopping tonight and there is a lot of inspiration to see for my cards I used the upcoming January KOTM if you have not joined this amazing monthly kit now is the time as the price for these kits will be going up In January.

I really cannot say enough about these kits they are so awesome so many great images and sentiments in each kit!!!

So for all of my cards today I colored them with my prisma colored pencils. I still need practice with these pencils but I know I do need to break them out more!!!




Also there are some great promotions going on so be sure to check those out as well!!!

Envelope book

Hey everyone Happy Friday!!!!
Hope everyone is getting ready for the Holidays I have some last minute stuff to do today LOL.
So I did this fun little project again for a special girl who loves coffee.
I used prima collection for the paper and some fun dies.  The stamps I used are form Precious Remembrance shop amazing stamps and I love to mix and match their sets so fun!!!

I kind of explained this I think in my last post but your are just using some envelopes and tucking them into each other you also create some pockets by doing this to tuck some things away.
The fun part is decorating this book and a great way to use up some scrapbooking supplies that I tend to hoard LOL.

Fun Project using Unity stamps

 Happy Saturday!!!
So I have a fun little project to share with you today. I love finding new ways to use my stamps and I found this fun little Flipbook tutorial over on YouTube just do a search of flipbooks and there will be a ton of videos.

I did not go to crazy with mine it is basically a book that you can make out of envelopes and just added a lot of fun elements to decorate it with.
I made mine with the idea of using some really inspirational quotes from this Donna Downey kit called Imperfection is Beauty.

Than to decorate my book I just used some fun papers and diecuts super fun I made this for my daughter.

Have a great weekend!!

Brown Thursday


Happy Thursday!!!
So today we are having a fun little blog hop for unity we have some amazing new releases along with some great how to's from the DT!!!


I don't know about you but I always love to see the process of how someone makes their cards and I am sharing a little of mine with you today!!! My process usually begins with the stamp and I love these sentiment stamps because it allows me to use that stuff I have been hoarding way to long lol.  I than just pick out my papers that I want to use and if you know me at all you know that I adore my pattern paper I usually try to stick with the same paper pad or collection. I than just like to find fun bits to go with my paper and my card that I want to design and I lay it all out and than just start the process of putting my card together and that is it pretty simple!! 

 Here is the finished card love the way it came out super pretty and simple!!
This second card is another new release this is such a sweet stamp!!
I colored this one using my colored pencils.
