IT'S FRIDAY and UNITY'S FWF HOP!

First I want to send out my prayers to everyone that is dealing with the hurricane Irene!

You will want to start at Unity's Blog for this list of all the inspiring crafters hopping along today.
While you're there check out Unity's 2 challenges going on right now. Just click on the tab for all the info.

Another challenge that is going is right here at All Things Unity Blog. The challenge is Anything Goes. Now that is one easy challenge. We would love for you to play along with us.

On to my projects. I thought I would start on some Christmas Tags, using the Unity's AUG11KOMS challenge.
Yesterday I received happy mail. Yes, Yes, Yes, It was the fun fun fun August KOTM. So I had to ink them up and decided to make a card for my DH. Our anniversary is next month and it will be 35 years. OH MAY! That's a lot of years. :)

For my cute little tags, I used Unity Sept '10' & Jan '11' KOTM.


For my card I used the current August KOTM! Love this set!


Thanks so much for stopping by and hope this might inspire you to join in on some challenges.
Also I want to thank you all for commenting on my FWF post. Each one of you makes me feel so special and just makes my day. Smiling ear to ear!

Enjoy the hop!

FWF with UNITY! LOVE FRIDAYS!


Hello Unity and Ippity Peeps!

I can't believe how fast the weeks are going. Fridays are so fun and seeing all the peeps that share their creative and inspiring projects using Unity! Love it!
You know the drill....You have to start at UNITY'S BLOG to see the list of all the blogs.

For my project I made a Card using the ATU Challenge Going Old School (which you still have until Saturday to play) and a Car Air Freshener using Lesley's UnityStampCoTv!

For my card I used Unity June '09' & June '11' KOTM, Worn Music, & Ipitty A Bit of Burlap. I just love how all the stamps go together. Did you know that Unity is having a HUGE Sale right now?


For my 69 Car Air Freshener I used Unity Itty Bitty Flower Background, & March '11' KOTM. I really like how it turn out.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great and creative weekend.
