Distressed Butterfly Card GIU Day 5

Welcome to my final day of being a GIU Gal.
I can't tell you how much I have enjoyed sharing my projects with you this week.
For my fifth and final project I would like to share with you my Distressed Butterfly Card.
I LOVE distressing my paper when making cards.
For this card I used white cardstock for the card base.  Then I reached into my scrap stash and pulled out some matching aqua blue papers.
I then used my distressing tool to ruff up the edges.
Then I used the leafed paper stamp from A Love Beyond Measure collection.
Stamped it onto white paper, distressed the image then punched out the holes to make it look like it was ripped out of a notebook.
Then I stamped the butterfly from Keep Going Anyway 
onto pattern paper and colored it with Tombow Markers using a water brush.

I hope you enjoyed my week of Unity Projects.
Thanks so much for stopping by each day.

Love You Big Time Card GIU Day 4

I can't believe it is Day 4 of being a GIU Gal.
I am glad you stopped by today.
Today's project is just a simple, sweet little card.
I created this card using Kraft cardstock.  I stamped the ADORABLE elephant image from the
Cuddlebug Elephant kit
Then I colored the elephant using Prismacolor Color Pencils.  I then used Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter Brush Pen to add a little shimmer to the ears and heart on the sentiment.
I then distressed the edge of the card and sentiment tag with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today.
Hope my little card brought you a little happiness today.

Enjoy Every Moment Mixed Media Card GIU Day 3

Good Morning!!  Welcome back to my blog.
Here we are at Day 3 of my GIU Blog Posts.
For today I would like to share this mixed media card I created.
Mixed Media is one of my newest passions.  I love the creative, messy process of designing a mixed media project.
For this card I used Dylusions paints for the background, layering Bubble Gum Pink, Fresh Lime, and Squeezed Orange.
I then used the circle stamp from the You Can Do It collection. I masked the scribbles outside the circle because all I wanted was the circle.
I used the rose from Rebuild Your Life.  I stamped the image on white cardstock then stamped over the flowers with the sentiment from She Never Says Never.  Then I used Tombow markers to color in the flowers.  Then I distressed the edges with black Stayz On Ink.
Then I used the Enjoy Every Moment sentiment from I Am Who I Am

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  Hope you enjoyed my project.

Love Mini Journal, Tag, and Tabs GIU Day 2

Hi Unity Friends.  Welcome back to my Day 2 GIU post.
For today's post I would like to share a little gift set I created.
This set included a mini journal, a matching tag, and some matching tabs.
I created the journal using the small heart from Hello Beautiful
For the tag I used the larger heart from I Am Who I Am

I just love creating these mini journals.  I am always doodling and they give me a nice little canvas to keep all my drawings together.

Need a Hug Bunny Card GIU Day 1

 Good Morning Unity friends.  Welcome to my GIU Day 1 post.
I am so honored to be able to share my work with you this week.
I love how easy it is to work with Unity Stamps and they always produce a great quality stamped image.

For my very first GIU project I created a card using the adorable bunny stamp from the

Patience and Hugs Collection

I followed the Jennifer McGuire Ink video showing the technique for the cloud background.  I think it makes a very cute background for these adorable critters.
I didn't have a sun stamp so I drew a sun, cut it out, inked it up, then added it to my card.
I stamped the bunny image on white cardstock then used tombow markers to add color to them.  Then I cut them out and added pop dots to them for a little dimension.
I then took the "I Need a Hug" sentiment and masked the I to make the sentiment read "Need a Hug"
