All Things Unity Challenge #44

I am so excited to be sponsoring the All Things Unity challenge blog for the month of November! We'd love to have you play along with us. You could win a $20 gift certificate to my Etsy shop! Just click on the challenge image below to go directly to the challenge post.


Our challenge was to buy something from the Dollar Store and alter it. I actually bought a jumbo clothespin from the $1 bin at A.C. Moore (I hope that counts!) and alter it so that it looks very different from it's original form. I used a mix of paper scraps from Imaginisce and Momenta with one of my favorite fall stamp sets from Ippity, "Fall for You".


I think I will keep this on my desk at school to hold important little notes. :)

What will you create?

Cool... :)

This card just makes me giggle. It's silly and fun, and it's just the thing that I needed to make today. Isn't it cute?

I spritzed a piece of kraft cardstock with Mister Huey in Orchard, then stamped and paper-pieced the popsicle from Unity. The sentiment is also from the "Mix-Up of Cuteness" set. Papers are from Sassafras Lass' "Sunshine Lollipops" collection.
I am entering this card in two challenges. The first is the All Things Unity #36, Summer Feeling, Challenge.

I also used the sketch from this week's Card Patterns challenge. Thanks for stopping by!

Along for the Ride

Cards for guys are tough, especially anniversary cards! While I was playing with my July kit for the Counterfeit Kit Challenge, I noticed that the back of one of the papers had a cute retro car and camper. My husband was just saying that he would love to find a teardrop camper and restore it to match our '55 Chevy Belair. I thought it would be cute to make an anniversary card for him using that paper. I couldn't believe it when I looked through my stamps and saw this cute little sentiment from Unity-uninked! It was the perfect message for this card. I added some twine and buttons to my arrow sticker and paper pieced the little details on the stamped image. I am entering this in the All Things Unity Challenge #35: Wrap it Up. I haven't participated in many challenges lately-it feels so good to be creative again! Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome Home

The challenge over at All Things Unity this week is to use your favorite Unity or {ippity} set. HERE is the link. I have lots of favorites, so it's hard to choose just one! Right now, however, I find the one that I'm using most is Devoted by {ippity}. I love the house, especially! Lots of paper piecing on this card-everything on the house. I also used two other {ippity} sets: Just Wanted to Say and Live Simply.

Love these sets as much as I do? You can order them from me! Just visit my {ippity} site by clicking the link at the top of this page or visit http://www.sharecropperskits.blogspot.com/.
