Ho Ho How neat is EAD?

Wow here we are over half way done with November. For this week's project I decided to make so Holiday cubes/blocks. I think those wooden blocks with different vinyl from EAD Designs are so cute, so I needed to make some for myself. I made 3 inch blocks out of cardstock. They were very easy to make. After assembling my blocks I cover each side with a different paper.

Ok, now for the good stuff: The VINYL!!!!

As soon as I seen the HO! HO! HO! set in the Christmas section, I knew I wanted to make some blocks with them! I ended up ordering them in 6 colors- 2 reds, 2 greens, 1 white, and 1 silver. I wanted to use them in sets of 3, but I didn't want to make 6 blocks to show the color combinations that I wanted. I decided to do one set on the "front" and then turned them around and put the other set on the "back" side. This way, depending on how I decorate I can pick one of the sets to coordinate with the decorations. After applying the HO! HO! HO!'s I added stickles around the letters.

At that point I could have said "ok they are done", but I felt they were missing a little something.

SNOWFLAKES!!!

I used 15 snowflakes from the Snowflakes vinyl set in silver and white.

My Recipie:

Call of Duty and E.A.D!!!

Hi! My husband has only been gone less than a week and I've already completed 3 projects. It's a good way to keep myself busy. I even woke up bright and early Tuesday morning to get in line for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game release, just so Spencer can play it as soon as he gets back from their work-up(Navy) aboard the USS Stennis.

Last month I shared a magnetic board I applied the super cute vinyl rub-ons from the
Just Because set. I love this set so much I decided to use it for my project to share with you today. I went to our local dollar store and bought a glass vase. I then took the Just Because set in Mint, Cream, and Pink and used the side trim pieces. I left the mint trim the width it was, and then trimmed the cream a little smaller and the pink the smallest. Then I applied 3 of the flowers(1 in each color) and then added 2 of the little birds. Then I added some clear pebbles and my bamboo stalks.

My Recipe:
(3) E.A.D. Designs - Just Because sets (mint, cream, pink)
(1) glass vase
(1) bag clear pebbles

Make sure you check out the E.A.D Store today because the set I used is on sale!!!!
Have a great day!

Goodbye October with E.A.D.!!!!

Wow, I can't believe it's almost November. I can't believe how fast the past 6 months have went either! Before we know it Thanksgiving will be here, soon followed by Christmas!!! I thought for this hop I'd make another Christmas card. I know we haven't already celebrated Halloween, but it never hurts to get a jump start on those holiday cards. I used the Fun in the Snow rub-on set for this card. I started by drawing a tree on the backside of my paper and then poked holes for the stitching. I used a multi-colored green floss for my tree and a gray/brown floss for the trunk.
I attached the snowman on white cardstock and then colored it in using markers.

My Recipe:
(1) Kraft card
(1) piece patterned paper
(1) Fun in the Snow vinyl rub-on set
(2) embroidery flosses

Unity Day #5

Hello again!

Here we are at Friday already. Yay! My project today didn't start out as what it ended up to be. Originally I was going to make a deck of playing cards. After trying to figure out what stamps to use, I figured out that there were to many stamps i wanted to use. From there it turned into the good 'ol kids game of memory. I plan to do at least 25 matches, and so far I have 12 completed. I know that by the time I get to set 25 I'll want to re-do the first sets. Here is a sample of what I've done so far. I also decided the backs of the cards needed stamping too, so I used the distressed dots background. I'm going to be using random stamps from a variety of kits ranging from KOTM's to normal everyday kits.






My Recipe:
(26) Unity Stamp Co. stamps- from a variety of kits
(2) Ink pads - brown and black
(?) markers to color images
(50) playing card sized pieces of white cardstock
(50) playing card sized pieces of colored cardstock
(1) Corner rounder
(1) Adhesive to put cards together
Combine for a great game a memory!

I've enjoyed sharing my projects with all of you! Hope you've enjoyed them too. I will collect all the comments you have left for the whole week and pick a winner on Monday.

Unity Day #4

Hello!

Before I start in on what I to show you today I just wanted to say thank you to each and everyone of you for the wonderful comments!

Ok so here we go with day 4, wow the time goes by fast. I had seen coasters made using tiles you would use in home improvement projects, and I thought I'd give it a try. So far, I'm still playing around with them to see what works best. Here's a photo of my most recent 3.

My Recipe:
(3) Tiles
(4) Unity Stamp Co. stamps-Bright & Merry Winter Wishes , June '09 KOTM , May '09 KOTM
(2) StazOn ink pads
(7) Markers

I had a hard time picking the right Unity stamp because they are all so adorable!

Here are individual photos of each tile.



On this tile I used the cute cherry vine box from the June '09 KOTM. I stamped it with Black StazOn ink and then added red and green around the cherries and leaves.



On the second tile I used the cute bird cages with quote from the May '09 KOTM. After stamping in black I used 5 pastels to color the bird cages.



For my last tile I used the snowflake and winter wonderland stamps from the Bright & Merry Winter Wishes set.

Make sure to check back tomorrow for my last day of Growing in Unity, as I will have a project for the kids that I've been working on!
