Clear & Simple Stamps is sponoring Caardvarks

This week Clear & Simple Stamps is sponsoring Caardvarks. This week the challenge is to make a circle card! What fun! I love making cards of different shapes.


I decided to use my scalloped nesties and the large one is my main part of my card. I used the second largest one for my second layer of pattern paper.

My base paper is Cranberry tart by Gina K, the pattern paper is by Gina K and the flowers are Primas. The green one was actually a pink flower but I colored it with my olive green copic marker and it works perfectly. The adorable snowmen is actually a sneak peek at an awesome set being released from Clear & Simple Stamps on Nov 15.

That's it for now!

Unity Addicts Challenge

It's been a while since our last Unity Addicts Challenge but this week the challenge I picked with Taylor's help is a shape card! Any shape but the traditional rectangle or square. Go with circles, Ovals, use a card template. I decided to use the good 'ole apron template. I have had this template on hand for years! I can tell you where I found it because it has been that long, but I'm sure you've seen it.

Here is my challenge card using the Unity Kit called School Rock Star.

That's if for now. Come over to the Unity Forum at SCS and play along with us.

SO if you are coming to me from Lisa's blog then you are on the right track if not you need to head on over to the JUGS BLOG to start this Birthday Hop off in style!


The team got together to make birthday cards for our dear friend Kristin, however I decided to break the rules a bit! I didn't make her a birthday card, I know I'm a meanie! NO NO, I decided to make her a Birthday Magnet!!! I promise it's cute. I've been on a kick of making magnets and have been posting many in my Etsy store as well.


So Kristin her you are HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.......

I didn't take a picture of the back but there is a nice strong magnet attached to the back. That is a little tin can it's stuck to! The pattern paper in the background is Basic Grey and the cupcake image on top is from Clear & Simple Stamps. I added dew drops to the side.

Kristin I hope you have a super happy birthday my dear and this little guy is on it's way to you!!! Best wishes!!!!!

Now continue on this Birthday Hop and hop on over to the wonderful Mona for some more birthday fun!!!
