IT'S FRIDAY and FWF Hop!!!

Hello Unity Peeps! It's Cathy here to show you some Unity MOJO! I hope you will enjoy my cards and hope they might inspire you!

First up is this awesome KOTM for April! I'm stalking my mailbox for mine to arrive. I just love love love each kit. They get better and better each month and I love how you can combine the stamps too.



You will want to start at Unity's Blog and work your way down to find that fun Blinkie.

ATU challenge right now is BUTTONS and our sponsor is Buttons Galore & More. Hope you can play along with us. So I had to make some cards with their fun buttons and they go so good with Unity!



My first card is cased from a card in the SU Catalog. I really liked the CAS look and love how it really pops the buttons. I used the Jan '11' KOTM.



I just love how this card came out. I used Apr '09', Apr '10' and Mar '11' KOTM for this card. It was so fun to make.



Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great and creative weekend.
Now it's time to hop over to Inking Aloud and checkout Lori's inspiration.
