No time for stamping tonight......way too much homework. I did want to share this with you though. Hurry, It started this morning and ends tonight at midnight, Unity is having a big sale!!!! They are offering up 25% off your order (excluding handles). This is big!! If you have been considering taking the leap to purchase Unity, now is the time. You will get lots of super stamps for your money!! Check it out and tell them I sent you!! Gotta go - my textbooks are screaming at me.
The Halloween decorations were put up, the weather was crappy, and I finally had time to do some stamping!! I've been so busy that I have not been able to get my "fix". Last night, I went crazy and got a bunch of cards done. I've even got my Unity Wednesday Challenge card ready to go. This one above is the single stamp from Unity - My What a Beautiful Tree. I made this one spooky, so, not so beautiful huh? :) The designer paper is from Basic Grey Ambrosia line and the sentiment and bats are from my Gina K - Spooky Silhouettes set.
These cards also have the Basic Grey Ambrosia designer paper. Aren't those butterflies pretty?? The Unity September Kit of the Month - Friendship. Love. Miracles has a butterfly with distressed dots in the design and Unity also has a background stamp Distressed Dots. I figured they'd be great together! I love the SU Ruby Red and Basic Grey together and they matched the designer paper perfectly. If you haven't figured it out yet, I enjoy making sets of cards and just changing up my design a little. Gotta use my stampin' time wisely.
This card was the last one I worked on. This snowflake is gorgeous and is one of the stamps in the Friendship. Love. Miracles set again. The details on this little stamp are amazing and I will be using it alot!! I love snowflakes and this is by far the best!!

Here is my Unity Wednesday Challenge card. This week was paper piecing. I pieced the stem in old olive and pieced the pumpkin in a plaid dp from DCWV stack that I have. The pumpkin is from Unity's Autumn Blessings set and the sentiment is from Unity's September Kit of the Month.

Had time to put together another card tonight. I've been wanting to use the super cute Oh Spooky Day! kit from Unity that I got last month. I love this bat!! I also used my worn grid background stamp for an added touch. The really tiny bats around the sentiment are from my Gina K set used in the post before this one. Hard to believe that Halloween is right around the corner and today is the first day of fall. Where did summer go???
Got a little time tonight and thought I would use my new set I just ordered from Gina K. The set is the new release - Spooky Silhouettes. This is a set of 3x3 cards on black cardstock with Basic Grey Ambrosia designer paper. Added a little bit of bling to each card with some Halloween Dew Drops I picked up at Impress and there you have it! Thanks for looking!!

It's Wednesday and that means Unity Wednesday Challenge #4 is up!! I did not get to do much stamping this week, but found time to put this together for the challenge. It was easy - use pink and black! Who does not love those two colors together!!! This butterfly is from the Butterfly Beauty Kit by Unity (of course). If you get a chance, hop on over to the Unity forum tomorrow for Hip Hop Thursday and tell them that I sent you!! :) The Unity peeps give tons of goodies away all day long!! See ya there!

The above card is my submission for this weeks Splitcoast Color Challenge (CC183). The colors this week were green galore, real red, and going grey. I used the Joy stamp from the Unity set Christmas Joy. It's hard to tell, but I glittered white on the top of the stocking, the bottom of the bulb, and the "candy can" part of "y".
This card was made using the new So & so loves single from Unity. This could work for an anniversary, don't ya think? There is so much that can be done with this stamp. I paper pieced the soft sky in between the trees to make them stand out a little more. Thanks for looking & have a great night!!
I had to do it again..........the Verve OSW challenge was callin' my name so I finished up another set tonight. If you can't tell from other posts, I get enjoy making more than one card at a time. I used the flowers from my Unity Kit of the Month for August and various sentiments from my other Unity sets. Taking tonight off from homework - so off to do more stamping!! Have a great night!

Here is my 4 card submission for the Verve Stamps OSW (one sheet wonder) Challenge. I made a set of 4 thank you cards. I don't have any Verve Stamps so I used my Unity Kit of the Month for August. That set has these three pretty butterflies in it. This challenge was fun and there were no designer paper scraps left afterward. I may have to do another one. The DP was Eclectique Scroll from Chatterbox. It's a very bold pretty print with lots of color options.

Worked on this card last night and finished it today for the LSC on Splitcoast (Limited Supply Challenge). Card had to have a coffee cup and the color orange! I used the coffee cup from my Unity Magnificent Moments set and added some glitter to the steam and along side the sentiment. The background is the Distressed Dots background stamp also from Unity.
A couple of non-stamping photos to share today..........it was the first day of school for my little man Garrett. The dog knew something was up today and would not leave his side. He managed to get in to every photo I took. There is quite a bond between a boy and his dog and I can't get over it. Too funny!
After school, it was time to head down and wait in a very long line (which is a good thing) to get the opportunity to see Jimmy Howard and the Stanley Cup!! I'm a hockey mom - Garrett has skated since he was three and my husband Mike is a die hard hockey fan too. Jimmy is one of the goalies for the Detroit Red Wings and today was his day of glory with the Cup. He chose to have a public reception and let anyone interested have a photo opportunity. The line was long and I think that's great!! He is super nice guy and it is very generous of him to share his big day!! He even took a couple of hours earlier and took the trophy into the local schools for a few small assemblies. This is the highest honor in the game of hockey and he shared it with his hometown!! He is a very humble guy and will be back with that cup again, I know it!! Thanks Jimmy!!
This is my submission for this weeks Unity Challenge Wednesday. In preparation for Hip Hop Thursdays with Unity Stamps, a bunch of us submit work using our Unity stamps to get geared up for Thursdays! This is a new set I just got on Monday called Humble Bloom. It was calling out to me to "ink it up" tonight, so this is what I came up with. The challenge was to use the Unity Stamp Co. colors plus one color or your choice. I've got my brown and turquoise and I picked very vanilla. Added a little glitter to liven it up! Head over here and check out the other submissions for this week, then stop back Thursday and check out the Hip Hoppin' goin' on!!
Non-stamping entry today:
I was blog hopping today, and stopped at Jennifer Buck's place. She had a post about a challenge, a "mini" challenge she did with a few of the other Unity DT gals (AJ, Maren, and Amber). I really enjoy making smaller cards and the challenge was for cards smaller than 3.5" x 3.5". My set is 3" x 3" and I used the sunflower from the Unity ecoChic set. The designer paper is from the Harvest & Holiday Debbie Mumm paper pad now at Joann's. There are lots of cute papers in there and they were on sale for 40% off!
