It's Friday with a flair again!

I was so excited to see my new kit in the mailbox, yesterday! Unity's KOMs are the best!!! And the new benefit program is amazing! Thank you Unity!

I used 4 of the new stamps on this card. Other supplies used were: SU scalloped edge punch, SU large oval & scallop oval punches, Nestie scllop circle, CM custom cutting system, Copic markers, button & thread, paper clip and ribbon. Colors: green galore & melon mambo.


My 2nd card uses 3 of the new stamps. I had no idea what I was going to make when starting this one. The result is surprise because it's like it had a mind of its own. LOL! This isn't my normal style, but I think it's unique and fun! What do you think?

Other supplies include: kraft taffeta ribbon, Copic markers, SU designer paper, CB swiss dots EF, circle punches, SU scallop circle punch, CM custom cutting system, Nesties, pop-up dots

I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else has made this week!

A Trip to the Past on DRS Designs

Today, I took a trip to the past on my DRS Designs blog post. Find out what started my love for DRS images here!














I used this stamp in a totally different way for yesterday's color challenge: ruby red, soft suede, & bashful blue. I wasn't real sure I could make a card with these colors, but I think it turned out OK. I couldn't find any ruby red, so I used the closest shade... retired SU riding hood red.



You can find the images on the DRS website: Valentine Flower and Love is Patient.

Christian Paper Crafts & Gina K Designs

It's been a month full of Gina K Designs for me... and I love it! Part of my creations are with Christian Paper Crafts which is being sponsored by Gina K. You can see the design team's creations at CPC here and at SCS here.


I made a few clipboards as Christmas gifts for the para-professionals that work with me. This one is my favorite! The cupcakes are from the GKD stamps set, Sweetest Blessings (Illustrator - Gina K.) are colored with Copic markers. The designer paper has been retired for quite awhile now from SU. As soon as one of the ladies chose this paper for her clipboard, I knew it would be perfectly festive for Gina's cupcakes!



And here is a sneaky peek at what I will post next Monday for Christian Paper Crafts :)

It's the real deal! Let's use the rich color of teal!

Favorites from Edna & Suzanne - The Newest of the Dirty Dozen

I'm always excited to see who the newest dirty girls are every month. This month, I admit, I wasn't very familiar with their work... so I went to their galleries. WOW! Where have I been? It took me quite a long time to cruise their galleries. I thought I would link a few of my faves from each of these talented ladies. If you are not a SCS fan club member, you will see that I have tagged the DT submissions. The rest you should be able to see without any problem.
