Unity Thursday

Ever have one of those days? I'm currently in the throws of one of those weeks! It started off with my youngest getting sick and has continued with a week of nothing but laundry, cleaning the carpet, and running up and down the stairs! Yikes! I am so tired! This week I am sharing some of my favorites from days gone by as I've not had much time between all the running and cleaning to do much else! Take a peek......

Love this layout using one of my favorite Unity scrapbooking kits. These kits are amazing for not just layouts but cards as well.....

Next up.......
Awwww....that sweet Jillibean Soup paper and that CUTE stamp! LOVE fest!
....more Jillibean Soup and how stinkin' cute is that lighthouse! LOVE it!

Now head on over to Jimmi's blog and be sure and pull out the hand sanitizer after leaving here. I wouldn't want to make any of you sick!

And check out all of the AMAZING stamps & kits that is Unity at the fantabulous Unity site! :)

Post you soon! :)

Look What We Learned & More From Unity & CPS

Hey Everyone! Hope you are all well. Things are wonderful here! It feels like summer this week! The temps in Indy have been as hot as they are back home! It's not the usual spring but I'm loving it all the same! We've been living like it's summer! Friday found me teaching my youngest to ride his bike without his training wheels! OMG! He is growing up so fast! After many wipe outs....all from stopping, but no skinned knees to report, phew!....I'm happy to say that he's a natural. He can finally keep up with his big brothers while riding. Life in the Buck house will never be the same!

How stinkin' cute is he! We've been riding the 'hood non-stop all weekend. I will confess to doing a little rain dance....mommy needs a nap! ;)

On to some stamp goodness. This week I am using the current CPS sketch with one of my Unity favs. You can view the sketch here. The stamp kit is All Smiles. This is one of my FAVORITES! I love this kit! Take a peek.......

Now head on over to the sweet Jimmi's blog to see what she has in store for you. I will be back to post you soon! I'm sure as you are reading this I am off for another bike ride! ;) Have a good one!

Happy Birthday Unity!!!!!

It's a Happy Birthday CELEBRATION! :) Yay, Unity!!!!! :) I've been so fortunate to be part of this wonder team! Unity is truly an amazing family full of such wonderful people! ....and the stamps aren't bad either! ;) How much do you love you some Unity rubbah!

I've got a little something, something to share with you today. This one is so very close to my heart. I love the sentiment and really felt it today. Take a peek......

You can find this amazing stamp HERE at the Unity site. :)

It's always so hard to narrow down just which amazing image to use each week. There are so many to choose from! Now head on down to Karen's blog.

Congrats, Angela & Christian! You are both such AMAZING people and I am so very blessed to be your friend. I am so happy for all of your success! Such a beautiful company full of beautiful people! :)

Something {s} Old.....Something New.....

Hey hipHop Peeps! How are you loving all of the 'retro' Unity? I'm so sad to see so many of my favorite stamps leaving us! This week I am sharing a little something new from the April KOTM....only a few more days left to grab this one up and it's such a CUTIE! Take a peek at my sample.....

Love this kit in soooo many ways! :) This is one of my favorite sentiments ever and I thought it would make for the perfect card for someone.

Hello, Friend!

Back again. It's time for more on the Unity front. It's spring break here and finally it actually feels like spring! I am so over the cold weather! Knowing this neck of the woods we haven't seen the last of the cold so I am really enjoying the high 60's and sun! This weeks card is a reflection of both the spring {warm'ish weather & busy spring break week....birds, flowers, & EPLS!}

I also used the new CPS sketch this week. For an entire peek at the sketch and a chance to enter go to the CPS blog. For more of the BEAUTIFUL April Unity KOTM go to the Unity blog. Then be sure and head over to Jessica's blog to keep on through this weeks blog hop. :)

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! :) I will post you soon!

A Happy Birthday & Catching Up

Happy Hip Hop, Peeps! :) I found my camera charger! Well, I found the charger to my old camera which I still haven't sold yet. Hey, it's better than my phone! While I was loading my photos to my computer I realized that I also had a zillion pictures on this camera from Christmas & even Halloween. Seriously?!? I'm really behind here. I'm playing catch up and might actually be gaining on the mountain of 'to-do's' but I was really surprised by the 'lost' photos. I will catch y'all up in just a bit with a few.

....but first, it's time for more Unity goodness. I used this weeks CPS sketch for this one. LOVE this super clean sketch. You can view it at the CPS blog here. Take a peek.....

This is one of my favorite birthday sets. It's from Ippity and called Party Hat Wishes. I love this super cute 'eye' chart with the special birthday message. I used some of my Jillibean Soup papers for this one as well as a bit of left-over ribbon that I had in my stash of stuff.

See the entire Ippity kit here.

Now it's time to head on over to Jessica's blog for more Unity goodness. :) Hope you all have a great weekend!

So now to a bit of what's been going on here while I've been away. I would share the Halloween pics but....there are none! Seriously?!? From me! This year we had friends join us for trick-or-treating. We had so much fun but I was so busy taking pics of everyone else....my kiddo's were off gathering candy!....and I was so busy fixing the beverages and food that I missed everything! Luckily my friends took some for me but I haven't gotten them quite yet. Keeping my fingers crossed they show up! ;) Christmas was a blur. We made treats for everyone again. One of the things we tried this year was chocolate covered pretzel sticks....they were covered in soooo much more! ....caramel, chocolate, toffee...oh my! Here's a picture...

The first few I dipped in chocolate....not so visually appealling. I will leave off my 8 year olds description. ;)

Eventually we made our way to santa. I brought my camera. They will let you take pics as long as you purchase a package. Every year I end up with the greatest picture of some random 'santa' while my children look like they are posing for a future mug shot. This year I was determined to get at least ONE good one of my boys. ;) I like this one....

....our Minion Madness...... ;)

Hayden was quite excited about this one. ;) Maybe more excited than seeing santa. ;)

That's all I have for now. All of my Lacrosse pics from this weekend were also on this card but I will save those for later....or for a later scrapbook page.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! :)

hip HOP Thanks

Happy hip Hop Thursday! I've got a quick little something for you today. I'm using the March KOTM for this one. I love the monthly Unity kits. They are so versatile. I love that one sheet of rubber can be used for so many different projects. Here's mine for this week....

Two things about this card. First, I really need to find my camera charger. This is the second time I have used my phone camera to take a picture. Yikes! So very sad! My son has his first Lacrosse scrimmage tomorrow so I will be tearing up my house searching for it....or heading to the camera store to purchase a replacement. ;) Second, I am in need of several thank you's so I wanted a CAS {or EPLS - easy peasy lemon squeezy} card that I could reproduce so that they could be sent out in a timely manner. Mission accomplished. Now if I could only find the postage stamps..... ;)

Check out the entire March '11 KOTM at the Unity site here.

That's it for me this week. Now it's time to head over to Leslie's blog....

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs!

Home Again, Home Again

Happy Thursday! Remember me? My life has been a bit chaotic lately but I am feeling so lucky to be here with you and back to sharing what I love....Unity! :) Angela and the gang have been so very hard at it producing so many amazing images. I feel so truly blessed to have the opportunity to be back creating with them.

A little confessing....it's been such a long time since I've posted that I honestly had a little bit of a time just finding the tab to 'create a new post' on my blog. You know your rusty if you can no longer find that little button! Hopefully you won't think my project for this week is, though. Take a peek.....

I used the March KOTM for this one. This is such an adorable kit. I have quite a few projects at different stages of completion but stopped to use this image since my three sons have birthdays over the next few weeks. My youngest turned four last week. I seriously cannot believe that my baby isn't a baby anymore! He's actually going to be playing baseball this season. It really is flying by.

Ok....back to the project....the paper for this one is from Jillibean Soup and the stamps are Unity's March {2011} KOTM.

You can see the entire kit at the Unity site here. It's a keeper!

Now let's get this party rolling by heading over to the oh so talented Leslie's blog....






Hope you are all doing well & I will post you soon!

Hugs!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hey Hip Hop Peeps!

Hope you are all enjoying a happy Thanksgiving....or day for all of my readers outside of the states. ;)....This is going to be a quickie post with an EPLS card for this weeks hop. I'm using one of my favorite Jillibean Soup stamps that Unity released this week....take a peek....

LOVE this! The sketch is from CPS. Thanks for stopping by. Be sure and head over to Pam's blog for the rest of the hop.

Hip Hop

Ever have one of those days? You know the kind where it seems that everything is going wrong. I really hate days like that....I'm currently in a phase where that day seems to be lasting much longer than 24 hours, but that is another rant entirely! ;)

In the event that you are hopping here for more Unity goodness I am going to have to pass you all over to Pamela. We had a bit of a family crises here and I, unfortunately, don't have anything to share.



Hope you all enjoy the rest of the hop and that you find yourselves in a much better place than I.

Hugs,

A Christmas Daily, Etc.

Happy Hip HOP, Peeps! :)

This weeks Unity DT challenge is to create a Christmas daily journal. I'm going to be sharing mine with you in stages. I'll be back with more throughout this month, but today....the cover. I am using one of the Jillibean Soup Christmas kits from Unity Stamp, Co. for this one and more of the cute Jillibean Soup papers & embelli's. Take a peek.....


I can't wait to share the rest of this one with you & to fill this up with all of our memories leading up to Christmas.


One more. I made this little card using this months KOTM and more of the Jillibean Soup patterned paper. The sketch for the card is this weeks sketch over at CPS.

That's it for me this week. Now it's time to head over to Pamela's blog. Enjoy! :)

Hip Hop! :)

Happy hip, hop Thursday! :) Time for more Unity goodness! This week I have created a little something, something using the new Kit of the Month. This kit is sooooo amazing! I used this weeks CPS sketch for this one. Take a peek....

I love this kit. It's such a cutey! You can see the whole thing here. The CPS sketch can be found here.

Now head on over to sweet Pam's place.


Hope you all enjoy the rest of the hop. :) I will post you soon!

Flippity Flop

This week is such an exciting one over at Unity....have you seen the new Jillibean Soup stamps??? OMHeck are they ever SWEET! LOVE them! I've got a couple of samples following this weeks Ippity post. :)


First up for me a little something, something from Ippity. I really love this stamp kit. It's one of my favs! Take a peek....


I opted to create a 'thank you' card this week. This has been such a challenging time in our family. I'm really in need of MANY of these to hand out to my friends who are always there. The patterned paper for this one is from the new Christmas line at Jillibean Soup {you will notice a theme in a bit. ;)}


Now be sure and head over to Pamela's blog.

....but first a bit more. I've got a couple of samples using the new Jillibean stamps that Unity released today. LOVE, love, LOVE these! They are soooo cute! I'm using more of the Christmas paper line as well for both of these......





& one more......

How stinkin cute are those papers! LOVE them and the stamps are adorable! The pins on the snowman card are also from Jillibean Soup. Soooo many things to love.


I'm off. Hope you all enjoy the rest of the hop & that you have a wonderful weekend.


Hugs!
