FWF {Feb 18}

In7VcHHi guys, it’s Sara here!  Try not to got into shock I know it’s been a little while.  While making, today’s card for the FWF hop I, of course, had to do something had to make in with ATU’s newest challenge – Use your favorite Unity or Ippity set(s).  Yeah because we don’t have plenty of those…LOL.

And I was inspired by one of the wonderfully talented Go to Girls, Jessica Witty.  This is what inspired me, ok I said inspired.  Next time I might actually try the technique.  HEHE.

Now these aren’t my only favorite sets but they are a couple.  The first is Feel the Joy and other is Love Life.
I would like to apologize for the quality of the pics, my camera is at work so I had to take them with my phone.

thanks so much for looking!
