Final March FWF, Bring on Spring!!

Welcome to Unity's weekly FWF post!

 

I'm just squeaking in on the end of

the link up time today. Thought I would

make a set of Thank You cards since

I know we'll be needing them after

DD's wedding.

 

I use Distress Markers on the

Donna Poppies stamp, misted it

with water and stamped onto

Neenah Solar White 80# cs.

I added a few flower sequins

from Michaels and stamped

the sentiment from Simple Blessings.

 

 

Check out Unity's blog for all the

hop details and prizes to be won!!

 

Thanks for stopping by today,

have a blessed weekend!

03/21/14 FWF

Another Friday, another week has

flown by, spring is finally

here and we are 3 weeks

from DD2's wedding! I may be

freaking out just a little! Really

needed today to play in my studio

and play along with Unity's FWF.

Check out their blog HERE for details.

 

Our church is having a bridal shower

for DD on March 30. They have

asked people to make a scrapbook

page to assemble into a book to give

to DD. Here is the page I've been

working on this week and finished up

just now.  Have to turn it in Sunday.

She was 2 1/2 in the first photo & the
other one is one of their engagement
photos from October. We have prayed
for a godly man for her and God has
certainly answered yes!

 

 

Their colors are very similar to the Be Inspired

Challenge for this week.  The shades of

rose with pale blue dresses, gray suits.

 

 I used LOL sets:

Spring Inspired

Full Circle Moment

Paper Hearts

Itty Bitty: Trust with your Heart

Grab Bag: God's Timing

Generations & T from Frame That Alpha

Scotch and TH washi tapes

Heidi Swapp Stencil w/ Golden molding

 paste, heat embossed with ZING! Brown Sugar ep

Splatters are Picket Fence Distress Stain

& pink paint I mixed myself.

Die cuts are Sizzix Scalloped Rectangles

& SB Romantic Rectangles

CHF Ages Sheet Music

Paper hearts from flower girl basket,

see THIS POST for details.

Frames were dry embossed with

TH woodgrain embossing folder.

Pale blue machine stitching.

 

The "C" stamp DD ordered for their

favor bags. The blessing tag on the

layout was one I made before she decided

on the one in the picture below.

 

 

She is bringing Hershey Kisses with

macadamia nuts to put in the bags.

 Apparently they only sell them in Hawaii!

 

 

Thanks for stopping by.  You may or may

not be hearing from me the next few weeks

but I'll post wedding pics when I can!

Have a great weekend!



Sympathy FWF

Welcome to my weekly FWF post celebrating 

Unity stamps! Check out the details and see all the great 

contributions to this Hop HERE. 

I'm dedicating this post to my friend, Julie, 

whose dad passed away this week. 

My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Unity's Everything More set. The

flower button was a gift in with the stamps.

Hero Arts background stamp white heat embossed

on watercolor paper. Colored with Distress 

Markers in mowed lawn, evergreen bough,

shaded lilac, & picked raspberry

Short post today, I'm off to do some

Have a great weekend!

FWF & Julie's Blogoversary Hop

Welcome to Unity's weekly FWF post.

Check out their blog HERE for those details & prizes.

I am also part of Julie's 2nd Blogoversary Hop.

Love how the card-making community connects

us from all over the world! I cherish the friendships

made because of the shared love of Unity

stamps and creating!

To begin celebrating friendship with Julie

(or if you get lost) go to her blog HERE, 

she has lots of prizes for commenting along the way!

You should have come from 

CREATED BY DONNA K,

who just happens to be Unity's GIU gal this week!

Prizes available there, too!

For starters, today I've used every stamp

from the amazing Beautiful every little thing LOL set

on my art journal pages.  Plus the Dream.big butterflies,

a random bird & Bevy of Butterflies' grassy thing.

Distress paint, DI, Hero Arts inks.

Page was gesso'd and beads were added

with Claudine Helmuth Multi-medium.

 Pretty cool story about these pages. 

I go to a women's devotional

group and my friend who writes the devos

wrote about this verse last week, had no idea

I was using the same one for my journal!

I brought it along to share with my friends there.

Here is a link to our little group called

WELLSPRING.  She posts the devos there.

This card uses papers I won from a SSS

giveaway. I just got this Unity stamp

after their awesome sale! 

The ink is Hero Arts Blackboard which

I am grabbing for all the time since I got it.

March 6 was my oldest sister & bil's

39th anniversary. We are great friends &

they just retired 2 miles away from us after

living in Maryland for most of their marriage.

They had a windmill moved to their yard

so thought this paper from an old

almanac was just the touch for them.

I cased this card from KATHY MARTIN.

Just fell in love with it when I saw it Wednesday!

And finally, here is a sneak of one 

of the projects for DD2's April wedding.

This adorable little bucket from

OneFunDay is for the flower girls. 

DD2 wanted paper hearts instead of

flower petals so I got an old Etude

music magazine from the thrift store 

for .25, cut the paper hearts, inked

the edges with Hero Arts Pale Tomato.

Then I stamped them with the love script  

from never ending love, LOL set 

using Memento London Fog ink.

Next on Julie's hop is Rachel at
