Unity

Here are a couple cards I made using this months Unity KOM.
This first one is actually a decorated glassine bag from PTI.  Great for a little note, gift card or treat!

This second card is just C&S!  Sentiment reads SENT with care.  Thanks for stopping by!

Fun in the Sun layout

I haven't done any layouts for awhile, but have been wanting to get into it more again.   I saw this sketch for Sketchy Thursdays and decided to play along.  Here is the sketch.
Here is my layout.  These are some recent pics of my daughter playing in her little pool.

A close up...

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Friday! (=

More Pinwheels...

I had a very nice Birthday.  Ate way too much food, cake and ice-cream, but I guess that's what Birthday's are for!! (=   We watched the American Idol Finale last night.  Do you watch?  Who do you want to win?  I'll be happy either way, but my daughter REALLY wants Lauren to win! (=

Onto a little project with my new Pinwheel die.  LOVE these cute little pinwheels!!
Close up 
The sentiment reads: You spin me right round.

 Secured the pinwheel to a stick and put in a vase!! Added some jelly beans and twine. Makes a
cute little gift!
And talking about gifts here is a gift I ordered for myself!! (=  It's a cute purse/camera bag from Jo Totes!

Happy Birthday

TO ME! (=  Yes, another year has gone by and I'm another year older.  I certainly do not feel my age, but it's hard to believe I'm ( I can hardly say it) 39.  O.K, now you know. LOL.  Time certainly does fly by when your having fun! (= 
Have you heard of  Pinterest?  I'm sure you have.  These fun pics were taken from there.

Some fun subway art which is all the rage right now!

And finally here is a card I made. Sentiment reads Blowing you kisses.   Funny story...  I actually saw a giveaway on FB for these cute pinwheel dies.  I put down my name and went to the website lil inkers.  I just thought they were SO CUTE and had to get them.  So I just got my order in the mail and that same day I found out I won them.  REALLY???  I NEVER win anything!  I'm hoping they will swap them for their flag dies, but I'm not sure yet.  O Well. 
Thanks for stopping by.  Have a GREAT day!!!

BLD Spotlight

This week there is a new image being spotlighted at By LORi Designs.  Here is my card:

It reminded my of a little monkey suit so I made a card that said Let's Hang out.
(shhh it's actually a little bear) 
To check out all the new released images in May go HERE.

Pallet LOVE

I've been seeing so many cool projects made from pallets recently.  Here are just a few:

I thought the planting idea looked cool so my husband put this together in our backyard...
The plants were just planted so I'm sure it will start to fill in soon.

Here are a few more shots of the yard.



I cannot take credit for any of it! (=  It would all be my husbands work.  He is the green thumb in the family.
I think my next pallet project may be a headboard.  I'm planning on painting my room (grey) in the next month or so and I'm thinking that might be a fun added touch!!!
