I'M BACK with some FWF MOJO!

Hello Everyone!

I've been dealing with the horrible virus that is going around.  I'm starting to feel so much better and was able to create a few fun projects.

Don't forget to start at Unity's Blog for the list of all the creative stampers FWF projects and to see all the fun things going on at Unity.

My first project is a card using Unity's Monthly Sketch and ATU's Bug-ggy Challenge ( I know I late with this one).

I used the fun June '11' KOTM stamps.

My second project is using Unity's Monthly Sketch and ATU's Dollar Makeover!
I thought I would make a notebook for all the challenges to keep up with them.  I really had fun making this and love the sketch too.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you can play long with us on the Dollar Makeover!
