TGIF, UNITY FWF Happy Halloween Card

WOW!  The weeks are just flying by, but the good thing is all the Unity Lovers get to shop off their creative MOJO!   You will want to start at Unity's Blog to see the list of stampers and to see all the fun specials going on and all the new fun things that Unity is up too! 

I'm still trying to get all the Halloween cards done to mail out to all the kiddies.  So here is another one using the OCT11KOMSC using my Sept '10' KOTM.


I started another card, but didn't get that one finished for today.  Thanks ok!

Don't forget there's a challenge right here on ATU!  The challenge is B-I-N-G-O!
Hope you can play along with us.

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

BOO x 3 with FWF Unity

Hello all my crafty friends!!!

You will want to start off at Unity's Blog to see the list of all the inspiring stampers showing their love of Unity Stamps! While you're there checkout the monthly challenges up on the tabs.

So glad you could stop by to see my fun card.  I used Maren's technique from the UnityTV.  She is so creative and inspiring, which just happens to go with ATU Feeling Inspired Challenge.

So here is my BOOx3 card using Sept '11' KOTM.  I really like how it turned out and might have to make some more for the kiddies.

My niece is getting married this weekend.  The fun starts today and will end Sunday night.  How fun is that? 
Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous and creative weekend!
Thanks for all the love you leave me on FWF post!  You just brighten my week!
