Growing In Unity Girl Hop




Hello my lovely friends

The growing in unity girls have teamed up to bring you this blog hop today.

I hope you have fun visiting all of us :)

I made this card for my Dad as his dog recently passed away :( 

It is never easy when a pet dies as they are always part of your family. 

The stamps I used on my card Dogs Leave Pawprints  

I kept it pretty simple and used the pawprints as a background. 

I coloured just the hearts and added a few splatters. 

I hope you join in and comment as there a two fab prizes to be won.




Below are the blog links so hop on over to Wynne's blog next and enjoy your GIU hop :) 

Thanks for visiting my blog today!

    the local vet asked me to embellish a jar for donations to pay for the care of injured and lost dogs that are brought to the clinic. this would be a wonderful stamp to use for that project.
    Sorry your father lost his best friend. that's always hard. Extend my sympathy.
    thanks for sharing

    Very touching card. I have the cat one that is just like this. Most of those I know have cats and thought it was appropriate. Whether a dog, cat, etc they all leave paw prints on our hearts and our lives are never the same. So sorry for your Dad's loss of four legged family member.

Friends with Flair @ Unity

Here is my Unity Friends with Flair entry.  I used my Feel the Joy stamp and used the generation stamping technique with memento ink. I then sponged the background in purple and deep pink pigment ink.  I mounted it on to white card and added the Happy Birthday sentiment at the bottom. It looked too plain so I added teeny weeny little butterflies from the butterfly punch from Martha Stewart.  P.S I ran out of daubers and all I could find was a magic eraser it did the trick as a makeshift sponge :)                                        If you want to take part hop along to Unity and enter  here I just had to make another card I just love this stamp I wish I had gotten it sooner it is so versatile. I think it may be my new favourite Unity Stamp :)                                                                           Thanks for visiting :)

Love You - Hot Pink

Happy Friday Friends :) I hope you all had a good week. Here is the card I made for this weeks friends with flair today.  I used two stamps on this card. The hearts are from the  You are my Main Squeeze stamp set. The sentiment is from the Strength & Dignity KOM 11/13 .  The vibrant pink colour is Picked Raspberry distress ink that I sponged all over the card. I embossed the hearts with white embossing powder. I really like he effect it created it looks almost like chalk.  Have a great weekend :)

Craft Stamper May Challenge

Hello Friends! I hope everyone is doing ok during this crazy time.  I just wanted to remind you that we are still running the Craft Stamper Challenges.  The May challenge is well underway but you still have time to come and join in.  Here is my card I made for this month's project.  I made this clean and simple floral card with Unity stamps.  I used two different kits to create this card. The jar with the flowers is from the  Strength & Wisdom  stamp set and the sentiment is from the kit called  His Words .  I kept my card really clean and just used my watercolors to colour the flowers and jar then tied a little twine around it to finish it off. If you have the time come and play along with us this month.  You can use any stamps you wish on your project.  Here is the prize we have on offer this month this fab Eileen Hull die.  All of the details of the challenge can be found on the  Craft Stamper Blog . Hope to see your project
