Unity FWF {19-09-2014}

 

 

Awesome Friday is here!!!  Wow, see this Sale happening at Unity?  Woo-hoo!!  Plus you have to check out the latest Angie Girls - LOVE!!

First up is September Girl - Ilvoe her dress and gosh she looks so sweet.  I added some features to her face, you can tell I'm not good at drawing for sure!

Next is Hollie Girl - here's a girl who seriously enjoy shopping for presents.  She is so fun, and what a perfect sentiment to pair with the image.

Finally, here's my favourite girl - Julie Girl!  Love her hair and outfit and the heart she is holding.  I hope you agree these Angie Girls are Fabulous!! 

Thank you for visiting me.

Have a great weekend!!

Sophia

Happy Friday, Unity peeps!!  I am so very excited with the latest Unity release from Tracey Malnofski - woo hoo!!  Just love working with these pretty girls.  I am sharing a card using Sophia.

Isn't she lovely?  I love her hair and she was so fun to colour.  I used the following Copics colours:
Skin - E13, E02, E01, R20 and E50; Outfit - RV63, RV52, RV55; Eyes - BG10, BG07, BG70; Hair - E99, E11, YR20; Lips - R20, R85.  I added some sponging in the background with Memento Dandelion and Distress Ink Spun Sugar. 

I'm looking forward to the weekend - time for making some Christmas cards perhaps :)

Can't wait to see what you create today.

Thank you for visiting me.  Have a great weekend!

Brandy & Emma

Hello again!  Thank you so much for all the lovely comments yesterday {smiles}!  I cannot wait to share another PH card today using this sweet Brandy and Emma set.

I was inspired to colour this image as it reminded me of my friend's dog - I stopped by her place after work today, and her dog couldn't stop licking my fingers.

Isn't he cute?  He's the friendliest dog ever.  

If you are a fan of Phyllis Harris, like me, you really need to check out the new PH releases today!

Have a good weekend!

Unity FWF 25-07-2014

Hello Friends!  It's been a long while since I played along with Unity FWF, so glad to be able to share something today.

I have known quite a number of friends who are cancer survivors and some still undergoing treatment.  Today I'm sharing a card I made sometime ago which was given to the cards ministry in church using Cure Girls set.

I hope the card will bless someone who is fighting this dreaded disease.

My second card is using the new released Angie Girl - Miranda.  This is a great stamp for any celebration and I love her outfit.

Check out the Unity Tag sale happening this weekend - Angela always has something special for everyone.

Thank you for visiting me.  Have a great weekend!!

Friends with Flair - 13-06-14

Hello Unity Friends! Have you seen this cutest new Unity release by Susan Weckesser?  They are super adorable!! 

I'm sharing a card using the set Tumbleweed Houses.

I used a much loved sentiment from one of my earliest KOM set on the card.

Next I have a one-layer (almost) card using the new Layers of Life (LOL) set Beautiful Wish.  I stamped the image with brown ink and heat embossed it.  Stamped the polka dot stamp in white ink and sponged some ink around the edges, and stamped the polka dot stamp again in white ink for dimension.

Lastly, I love this coffee stamp - Coffee Side By Side , thought the card would be perfect for someone who loves coffee. 

I can't wait to see what you create!

Hugs

Perk Up!

 I'm in need of a little Perk Up this week.  But, happy that the weekend is almost starting...and it's a long weekend :)  Happy too that I get to play with my Unity friends today in the hop.

Here's my card - I was thinking of a friend when I made this card.  She loves coffee and has such a wonderful way of blessing others.  I hope she will enjoy the card.

I used the sweet stamp set by Angie Blom, Kimmie Girl.  She is coloured with Copics (my fave Blue jeans combo - B91, B93, B95, B97. Heart - R43, R46. Top - R00, R01, R02.  Skin - E50, E01, E13. Hair - E99, E95, Y32. Cup - R43, BG15, BG10. Ground - E37, E13, E01. Background - Y32, YR0000).

Have you seen what Angela has put together this week? You won't want to miss this....

Happy Shopping, and have a wonderful weekend!!

Unity FWF 16-05-14

Happy Friday!!  This whole week, I have been asking my colleagues "Is it Friday yet?".  LOL I guess it must be that I can't wait for the weekend to play with my stamps :)

Today I'm sharing some cards I made recently. 

I made this card for my sister's birthday earlier this month.  Hope she liked it :)  I used the sets Whitney Girl and Stamp of the Week, Courage.

Next is a card which I  had all the elements ready but just managed to assemble it a few nights ago.  I am loving all the new Stamp of the Week - they are just gorgeous! This one is A Floral Hello.

Finally this is the card I made for the new release Kenya this week.  It's a beautiful image, and I wasn't sure I got the skin colour right, but I enjoyed putting the card together.

Hope you'll have a fabulous weekend!

Hugs.

Unity FWF 02-05-14

How was your week?  Hope it was a good one.  I got back to work after 2.5 weeks off and it was straight into long hours of work - it's been a hectic week, and I'm so very glad Friday is finally here.  When I was away, I missed some exciting Unity release.  One of my favourites is Shari Girl.

Love this new Angie girl and her cute little dog.  I love her outfit and had so much fun bringing her to life.

Have you seen the new Phyllis Harris release this week? They are Amazing, and here's one of the sets - Sense of Wonder.

Wow, Unity is 6 years old this week and  Angela has put together an Awesome Birthday Bash sale, check it out!

 

Finally, some of you know that my dad was seriously ill the week before Easter with pneumonia.  I had to fly back as the doctors weren't sure he would recover.  So many prayers were offered up for him, and it was an answered prayer that he responded to the antibiotics and made a remarkable recovery. I am so thankful that I got to spend time with him and cared for him.  It was so hard to leave but this girl has to get back to work :)

Thank you for visiting me.

Have a great week!

Life

Happy Friday!  Woo-hoo, so glad it's the end of the week, and I'm looking forward to play with my Unity stamps this weekend.  Today I'm sharing a card with this beautiful Phyllis Harris image, Depth of Life. Love it!

It was such a fun and lovely image to colour.  The sea plants on the side was from the set Under the Sea.  I thought it goes really well with the mermaid and dolphin image.

I have a few other cards which I've not managed to share the past couple of weeks, and here they are, using March KOM and Boot, Sass and Class sets.

I can't wait to see what you create!

And, if you would like to get some of the Unity stamps on your wishlist, this weekend is a great time to check out the awesome Unity sale - 50% off Everything!!

Thank you for visiting me.

Julie's Blogoversary Blog Hop

Happy Friday!!  Welcome to Julie's Blogoversary Blog Hop - Celebrating Friendship!  Once again, I'm so honoured to be invited to join Julie and friends in this Blog Hop celebration. I'm sure you came by from Paula's blog, but if you didn't, you might want to start from the beginning, i.e. Julie's blog.

I met Julie through Unity FWF, and I am always inspired by her posts.  I love to read about her beautiful dogs, her cool motorbikes, check out her gorgeous cards and also her work with the aged folks.  It strikes a chord with me, as my father suffers from Alzheimers and I know Julie understands the challenges my family faces.

We also share a common love for Unity stamps, so today, I'm sharing a few Unity creations.  As you hop along with us, please make sure you leave a comment on each of the blogs because Julie has organised some fabulous prizes hidden in the blogs.  The prizes include the following:

2 $10 gift certificates from Unity Stamp Company (donated by Unity!)

3 sets of winner's choosing from The Cutting Cafe (donated by Regina Easter)

A ribbon bundle from 3 Girl JAM

Timeless Twine -- Rainbow Party Pack

Close To My Heart Stamp Set

Close To My Heart Stamp Set

$15 Pinque Peacock gift certificate (donated by Jessica Shelton-Buffa)

Embossing folders (2)

 2 $25 Gift certificates for My Scrap Chick store (donated by My Scrap Chick)

Websters' Pages 6x6 Sweet Notes pad, an embellishment pand and a Websters Pages Stamp set, plus a Unity Cloud background stamp -- donated by Lucy Evans

Here's my first card:

I used the Sentiment kit by Lisa Arana, Everything Wonderful.  Indeed, I thank God for online crafty friends like you, for there was a point in my life where you made a difference, with your sweet words of encouragement, they made life a little easier to bear.

Next, I have to share one of my favourite stamp sets ever.  It's pretty obvious that I love Phyllis Harris stamps and here's an old favourite, Your Wings Exist.

No sentiment on the front of the card, so the image takes centre stage.

I hope you like the cards.  Don't forget to leave a comment and be sure to stop by all the blog participants.  Your next stop is Erin & Ruth's blog.

Thank you for visiting me.

You Are In My Thoughts

Hello Unity Peeps!  How has your week been?  I hope everything is well with you.  I'm forever looking forward to Friday and trying not to miss a Unity post.

Today I'm sharing a favourite stamp set by dear Lisa Arana called Bunches of {Love}.  This set has some of the loveliest sentiments and a gorgeous floral image.

Patterned papers : Doodlebug, Cardstock: Bazzill, Neenah solar white, Copic markers, Kaisercraft pearls

I coloured the flowers and leaves with Copic Markers (R01, R05, R08, Y18, Y15, BV17, BV02, YG25, YG23, YG21).

I'm going to spend all Saturday making cards and catching up on some tv series I've missed.  It feels like ages since I've had time to myself.  The past few weeks, I've been going out a lot with friends, not that I didn't have fun, but nothing beats a quiet weekend with stamps :)

Hope your weekend will be amazing!

I Knew I Loved You

What a week it has been, I'm tired... but so glad that it's Friday. I look forward every week to join my friends in Unity FWF.  Today, I came home from work, and didn't have a card.  I had only 30 mins before dinner and rushed to make this card, so I could post it. :)

Patterned paper from Glitz Design - Carpe Diem, Spellbinders dies, twine from Lawn Fawn

Isn't this tiny dancer the cutest girl - she's from the PH set Before I met you Tiny Dancer.  I wanted to keep the card in soft shades of blue and pink.  You may not see it from the photo, but there's a touch of glitter on her skirt.

I hope you'll have a wonderful Valentine's Day, and if you can spare some time, come join us in the Unity FWF.  I'd love to see what you create.

Thank you for visiting me.

Hugs

Your Love Blows Me Away

Hello Friends!  So glad it's Friday again, because it's time for sharing a Unity card with Unity Friends with Flair.  My new Phyllis Harris stamps arrived last week, and I cannot wait to use them.  I love this sweet image from the set "Your Love Blows Me Away" and it makes a lovely birthday or Valentine's card.

I couldn't find a place to stamp the sentiment as it is a little too large, so I just stamped it on the side to blend in with the patterned paper.  The girl's dress is paper pieced, and the rest of the images are coloured with Copic Markers.  To add a little border, I added some running stitches along the edge of the patterned paper.

I can't wait to see what you create.  Have a fabulous weekend!

A New Year

Hello Friends!  Today marks the first day of the lunar calendar, and here's wishing all my Chinese friends A Happy New Year!!  I had a great time with my friends last night and the celebration continues for the next 15 days... not exactly, but there'll be lots of lunches and dinners with friends.  That's how the Asians celebrate - there's always lots of food.

Last night I was thinking I should make a card with an attitude for today's Unity FWF.  I just love how fun this image is ( Jo {Fashionista}) - she is such a spunky girl.  I picked the lovely quote by Helen Keller (Itty Bitty Poppy Bundle) to go with it.  Love the sentiment and the message behind it.  I guess we shouldn't let the world dictate who we are, but to find ourselves and let our experiences in life change us for the better.

I wish you can see all the shimmer around the edges of the stamped image, from the distressing with Delicata gold ink pad.  The image was coloured with Copic Markers.

Here's a closer view of the sentiment:

I hope you'll have a great weekend, and I can't wait to see what you create.

Thanks for visiting me.
