Unity Stamps - Friends with Flare Friday

I love Unity Stamps just about as much as I love their weekly  Friends with Flare Blog Hop.  It inspires me to get out the stamps I love and use them!  This week I used this Life stamp for the first time and paired it with paper from Authentique.  Love the way it came out and can't wait to use that stamp again.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

First Design Team Project for Scrapbook Island

Last month I submitted work to be considered for the Scrapbook Island Design Team.  To my pleasant surprise, I was one of 9 who were chosen to join the team.  

Soon after the announcement, I met my team mates, the team coordinator and the store owner.  It's a wonderfully talented team a great group of women to work with.  I'm really looking forward to the next six months of design work with these ladies.

During that meeting we all received our first DT package and I was was once again pleasantly surprised to receive the Teresa Collins Christmas Home Collection to work with.  Instantly, I loved the quality of the paper, thick and textured as well as the patterns which can read as all-occasion as well as Christmas.

In the end I had a great time playing with the collection and created a mini-book and a few cards for good measure.  If you are local to the Bay Area, you will find the Teresa Collins Home Collection and this mini-book and cards on display at Scrapbook Island.

A complete supply list will be at the end of this post.

I have you in my heart

My Hero Arts Stamps and Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays were a great match for some simple but pretty cards...

Simple Card using Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays

I love the beauty in a simple card and this one is darn simple.

I was visiting a friend, Ivett Carrillo, who generously let me play with her Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays. I was impressed by the intense pigment and the wonderful sparkle form the mica powder. When I got home a added one of my favorite stamps on top, matted it on black card stock and then adhered it to a white card base.

I've since made other cards in this style with my home made mica paint and just today ordered my own lot of Lindy's.

Enjoy your day and your paper play.
