Growing in Unity Thursday - My Story...Happy Family

A few weeks ago, I started creating an album called My Story. An simple album that contained my story, what it is to be me, what steps I have taken in my life to get where I am, and what people I have loved and met along the way. This next installment into My Story is Happy Family. I was very excited when I found the Authentique Paper - Collection Blissful in my local scrapbook store. Then to read what the die cuts said on them, made me about cry in the store. "A {happy} family is but an earlier Heaven." - George Bernard Shaw. 

To create the flowers, I used the {ippity} stamp set Flowers + Friends = Priceless, and stamped them using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the yellow cardstock. Then with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, I sprayed the flowers to give them sparkle. And to finish off the flowers, I added a rhinestone to the center of each.

Supplies Used to create this page: {ippity} stamps: Flowers + Friends = Priceless; Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black; Versa Magic Chalk Ink - Niagara Mist; EK Success - Scallop Border Punch; Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist - Flower Power & Wheatfields

Growing in Unity Wednesday - Sweet Lemon and Lime

Growing in Unity Wednesday, or Hump Day as it is nicknamed by many, reminded me of summer. And what better way than some summer time colors and fruit. 

I love this {ippity} stamp set - New Season, New Wonder. It has given me so many possibilities in the short time that I have had it. 

Supplies used to create this card: Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black, Versa Magic Chalk Ink - Tea Leaves, and {ippity} stamps - New Season, New Wonder

Copic markers used to color the lemon and lime: Y13 - Lemon Yellow and YG25 - Celadon Green

Growing in Unity Tuesday - Flowers and Argyle

Growing in Unity Tuesday time, I was so excited when I found this beautiful collection of paper at my local store. Authentique Paper - Collection Blissful. I am so in love. The paper is amazing to work with and its easy to find coordinating card stocks to go with it. I knew when I found this line I had two projects in mind for it. The other one you will see later this week. This is the first - a simple note card. 

I created the flower using the {ippity} stamps set, Now & Always, and layered the set up. First I stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black, then I colored it in with Copic marker Y21. To finish the look, I sprayed each layer of the flower with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Wheatfields. 

Supplies used to complete this card: {ippity} stamp - Now & Always; Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist - Wheatfields; Copic markers - Y21; Versa Magic Chalk Ink - Wheat; and Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black

Growing in Unity Monday - Daddy & Me

To start off my Growing In Unity Gal Week, I'm featuring one of my two babies, Pal Pal. He is our male dachshund who has tons of personality and a huge vocabulary. There are so many words Doug and I have learned that we cannot say or even spell in front of Pal Pal because he knows whatever we are saying. This layout is all about the relationship he has with his daddy. 

This is an up close shot of the Tail Wagger stamp from Unity Stamp. I stamped the image onto watercolor paper and colored the image in using Copic markers.

Chipboard accents that I adhered coordinating stickers onto.
