FWF {August 27}

Hello, friends! It's Savannah with some more Unity crafty goodness!! And it's Friday--which means....FRIENDS with FLAIR! 

Today I'm sharing some creations that I made using my "style". Here at  All Things Unity we are having a challenge where you create cards {using your Unity or Ippity stamps} based on your "style". Paper Crafts Magazine just published a magazine "Card Style: Find your style". I LOVE this mag! I found out that I'm mostly Fun/Cute....sometimes Clean/Graphic. This card was actually a card that won over on the Paper Crafts blog. It won the Fun/Cute category. I love this card--it was so fun to make. I used Unity's ledger stamp and the typewriter from Unity's Nov. KOTM. The sentiment was created on my computer. LOVE it!

If you look closely, I rolled paper up and pushed a brad through to hold it! SO FUN! 

This next card was created for the Wee Memories {sweets and ribbon} and the Cupcake Inspiration {photo} challenge. I was inspired by a card seen on Jennifer McGuire's blog--another talented lady!!! I love this card--the apron and tag are stamps from Unity's Kitchen Logic set. I also stamped the cupcake from Unity's 6 pack essentials. The banner is from Ippity's Love In Return. The sentiment is from Unity's Super Sweet set. Love that you can combine different sets for a fun card!! This also fits in the Fun/Cute category!! I love it:} Those strings from the apron are so fun!! Love the glitter on that cupcake--almost looks real!! 

Well...that's it for me today! If you would like to play along with All Things Unity's  Style Challenge go HERE for all the deets!! The challenge ends on Saturday, Sept. 4th at 11:59pm!! Players will be entered in a random drawing to win the Card Style magazine and a free Itty Bitty Unity stamp!! LOVE it!  Here are the five categories if you need help finding which one you fit in ::


1. Classy/Elegant- polished; shiny finish, sparkling embellishments, rich color scheme; sophisticated sentiment
2. Shabby/Chic- layering; soft; utilizing ribbon, lace, inking and distressing; looks comfortable, worn
3. Vintage- one step farther than Shabby/Chic--adds old images, found items, antique trinkets
4. Clean/Graphic- white space, clean lines, and simple treatment of texts [bare minimums]
5. Fun/Cute- happy color scheme, sweet sentiments; uncomplicated design; whimsy (cartoons or doodles); friendly patterns
