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!

Unity Day #3

MORE CHOCOLATE!!!!

I thought I'd give another little treat box. This one is also found on Splitcoast Stampers as well. This is a nice little box that fits 3 little nuggets neatly inside. The base of this box reminds me of the little boxes I would make with my Grandma using greeting cards she had received. I believe I got my craftiness from my Grandma :)

I used the cherries and the cherry sentiment from the Unity June '09 Kit of the Month- Perfect in Every Way. I used a couple of gel pens that looks like stained glass when they dry.

My Recipe:
(1) Piece of cardstock
(1) Piece of patterned paper - Cosmo Cricket
(2) Super cute Unity Stamps- June '09 KOTM Perfect in Every Way
(3) Glaze gel pens
(3) Delicious little nuggets

Mix together and enjoy!!!

Just because I [heart] E.A.D.!!!!!

I am totally hooked on E.A.D.'s vinyl rub-ons. They just keep getting more awesome each time I use them. When I first saw the super cute Retro Forest in the wall decor I fell in love. So you can only imagine how I felt when it was made into the smaller crafting kit called Just Because. I also really loved the color combination used in the visual display of the Retro Forest, so I ordered Just Because in 3 colors- mint, pink, and cream.

I have had this magnetic board for awhile now, and have been waiting for the perfect vinyl to put on it. I'm quite pleased at how it turned out :)





There are some cute little birdies that also come in this set and I wanted to incorporate them in to this project somehow. A magnetic board isn't very useful without magnets!!! I bought some flat, clear glass marbles along with some 3/4" magnets at a nearby craft store. I applied the birdies to the back of the marble, and then took a precut 1" white circle of cardstock and glued them together. When that was dry I applied them to the magnets. Here's a closer look at one of the magnets and closeup of the detail on one of the trees.

My recipe:
(3) E.A.D. Designs- Just Because vinyl rub-on sets (mint, pink, and cream)
(1) Magnetic message board
(3) Flat glass marbles
(3) 1" White cardstock circles
(3) 3/4" round magnets
clear drying glue

Unity Day #2

Who loves chocolate? I know I do! I found a tutorial on Splitcoast stampers for a Ghiradelli box.
The box made on their site was just for 4 squares, I modified mine to fit 8. These little boxes would make a great, quick gift. I used the heart from the CONFESSION: i {luv} unity set and the saying is from the June '09 Kit of the Month Perfect in Every Way.

Stamps- Unity CONFESSION: i {luv} unity and Perfect in Every Way

Hope you all have a great day and check back tomorrow!
