Fun Fun Fun

I recently discovered stamps by Brutus Monroe,

thanks to a facebook group ;-)

They are clear stamps on a 4x6 sheet. I only purchased two sets my first time out but the quality is very nice. They stamp very clear, even the fine lettered sentiments.

The images to the left are all from Home Sweet Home which I colored in with colored pencils

(rarely use them) and a heart from another collection.

These images are all from Birthday Bear. This set has four cute bears, two birds and a bunny... did I mention cute? They are SO cute! Instead of coloring them in, I used Tim Holtz Distress Paint daubers and just kinda splatted the paint on. Added a touch of sparkly Nuvo to finish off the balloons and I have a great Birthday tag!

Growing in Unity 2017 - Day 5

TGIF

and a Happy New Year to you too!

Whao, did we really just blow thru all those  holidays?

I think we did!

Thank you so much for putting up with me this week

I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have

New Years! What do you do to celebrate?Me, no a thing!

Oh I'll have a drink or three,

watch a show or two,

craft until 12:01 or

just go to bed. 

I'm not an exciting party person

For these, I used Copic markers to color with and paired this super fun set with these equally fun papers and a super sparkly ribbon that just keeps giving!

I know it's hard to tell in these pics but I used clear Nuvo over the liquid in the glass so it's shiney.

Just a little bonus KISS card

 I don't know if it's snowing where you're at and some years we don't get snow at all but this guy makes me wish the white fluffy stuff was everywhere! And I don't even like the cold

Last day to get yourself entered to maybe win some free stamps from Unity Stamp Company!

Growing in Unity 2017 - Day 4

Happy Thursday! 

Are you getting in the holiday spirit yet? 

I kept this first one simple on the coloring, just green Copics for the tree & sky.

But I got out my old circle punches for that pop of something.

I think it's festive!

 When I was in High School, I owned a red bug. It's a good thing cars can't talk ;-)

You'll notice I used different shade of red to color this bug, well that's how mine was.

I left spots white thinking it looks a bit like snow.

To mix things up a bit, I skipped the sentiment stamp & chose to use stickers from the paper pack, I'm not a sticker person and know I would not use these in a scrapbook so this is the perfect use for these.

Growing in Unity 2017 - Day 3

Welcome to Wednesday!

I'm jumping to Christmas or perhaps, preparing for Christmas.

For my family, we use an artificial tree and we use the same one for YEARS!

We had the same tree for 12 years, then it started falling apart so it had to go.

For the next three years, we each made a homemade tree and used those

until the cats, dog, and packing got the better of them.

Last year, we broke down and bought a new artificial tree.

We will put it up the day after Thanksgiving, or as some people call it

Black Friday. I'm more of a Cyber Monday type of person

Today I'm doing a photo tutorial of how I made this card

Step One: Stamped using Memento in Tuxedo Black

Step Two: Stamped using Tim Holtz in Peeled Paint, Forest Moss, Squeezed Lemonade, and Gathered Twigs. Fussy cut them out and fringed the edges of a couple of trees.

Step Three: Colored the image using Copic markers. Fussy cut along the top edge of ground, truck & trees but not all the way to the edges of the card.

Step Four: Inserted trees behind the truck and glued into place

Step Five: Finish it off by topping the Star in Sparkly Nuvo, adding a bit of White Puffy Paint for snow, and Tattered Angles Glimmer Glaze in Waterfall on the truck windows.

The back: The new Unity Company Stamp! AWESOME!!!

Stamp Set used for this one is the October Kit of the Month

It is a monthly subscription and a super fun to be a part of!

And a bonus card: It's one layer using a multiple stamp technique so you get shades of the color
