• It's Hip Hop Hangover!

That's right...HHH....which means....IT'S FRIDAY! Hooray for Friday! Yesterday I got to Hip-Hop a little bit, but not really last night, so my hangover is gone....bummer....I like being hungover b/c that means I was at Hip-Hop all day! I guess I'll have to try again next week! :D

So..onto the card...here it is!


Ack! It's not the greatest....other than it does use Unity's October KOM. I just can't steer myself away from this kit. It's awesome.Check it out here. Also be sure and check out Unity's new releases. They released over 100 stamps yesterday and have some great deals going on until midnight central tonight! And....since we're on the Unity subject....my girl and Unity owner, Angela is setting up the WORLD'S LARGEST BLOG HOP! Check the details out HERE.

So that is it for my hangover post. I might possibly do another one since I am just not feeling this card.

TGIF! UGH! This week drug on for me! I'm so glad it's over!

Did anybody go see Twilight last night? I didn't. I don't even think it was playing at either of our two theaters! NO TELLING! I want to see it so badly. I am hoping that when it does get here, Kolby will go with me. When he asked what I was reading (when I couldn't keep my nose out of the books...I don't read all that much.....) and I explained to him what it was all about, he looked at me like I was losing it! :) TeeHee....so I might need to make a movie date with a girlfriend or something b/c I think it's going to be like pulling teeth to get him there! :)

Oh yeah.....my project. :) This week, I FINALLY did a scrapbook page! I am so proud of myself! I'm not too crazy about the way it turned out, but since it's only my 5th page ever doing, I will give myself SOME credit. AND I used stamps from my FAVORITE stamp company in the whole world! Can you guess which one?!

So here it is. Like I said, I'm not too crazy about it. I think I did too much distressing, or I used too much Pacific Point ink. I should've used black or something...... The title reads, "I'll love you...4ever....." then the journaling says (on the side of the picture) ".....I"ll like you for always...." (on the right side top) "........as long as I'm living....." (right side bottom) "......my baby you'll be...."

Stamps Used: Unity Sept. KOM, Worn Grid Background
Ink: SU! Pacific Point, Copics
Paper: CTMH White Daisy, SU! Rainbow Sherbert DP, Pacific Point CS, Green Galore CS, Blush Blossom CS
Accessories: Cricut and Cartridges, Fabri-Tac, Dimensional Adhesives

Has anyone ever read that book? It's called "Love You Forever." It's a little kid's book, but it was one of my favorites when I was little. If you don't know what I'm talking about....the book talks about....here's a little excerpt:

"The baby grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was two years old, and he ran all around the house. He pulled all the books off the shelves. He pulled all the food out of the refrigerator and he took his mother's watch and flushed it down the toilet. Sometimes his mother would say, "this kid is driving me CRAZY!"

But at night time, when that two-year-old was quiet, she opened the door to his room, crawled across the floor, looked up over the side of his bed; and if he was really asleep she picked him up and rocked him back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. While she rocked him she sang:

I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living
my baby you'll be."

Cute, huh? It goes on talking about how he grew and grew and she would go in his room and do the same thing. Then when he is grown, he comes home and she is old and sick and he rocks her and says, "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my MOMMY you'll be....." So that is where I got the idea from. My son is walking now and, as expected, getting into everything! So it really does explain a mother-son relationship. Especially since MOST BOYS are MAMA'S BOYS!

• This is what I get, for not posting all week! LONG POST!

So I did stamp this week, I was just too lazy to post it! So here goes!

Last week I did a week long of Unity on my blog. I made these cards also, but was going to post them on Friday....obviously that didn't happen! The first card is for Bella Sketch Challenge #54 and the other card is for Bella's Favorite Stamper Challenge #1. We had to CASE one of Vicki's (giffysk8) cards from her gallery!



So for this week: here is Bella Sketch Challenge #54 and some Papertrey Ink cards. I used Amber's sketch on the owl one. I just got these stamps in, so I was very excited to use them!





Which brings us to today.......this is my card for Hip Hop Hangover Friday! I did get to Hip Hop for just a few minutes last night and had total fun doing so! If you didn't get to Hip Hop yesterday, be sure and take a look at all the Unity DT goodies they have on their blogs! They did so amazing this week!


So that is all for this week! I am off to Big Piney, yet again......roping tonight! Will try to get pictures! Toodles!

• HiP hOp HaNgOvEr FrIdAy(and cards from Thursday)

....are you hungover? If not, it's probably because YOU DIDN'T COME TO HIP-HOP THURSDAY! It was soo much fun. I always have fun with the Unity peeps! So here is my card for HIP HOP HANGOVER FRIDAY! If you want to hang out and chat with Unity peeps go to this thread.

For this card I did a gate-fold card. I used Beate's Tutorial on SCS. It was so much fun to do! I just got my Scor-Pal in the mail, yesterday, so I decided to do something with it! If you don't have one, I think you should get one. They are {heavenly}. So I used Taffy CS for the base and I just forgot what color the green is in the Spring Harmony Colors.......anywho....I used my Cricut to cut the main circle and I stamped the image from Unity's Oct. Kit of the Month....isn't it fab? It's stamped in Archival Black on Papertrey Ink Stamper's Select White and I colored the image in with copics and I added some ric-rac and baubles at the end of the card!

I didn't post yesterday so here are my cards from the Hip-Hop Thursday Challenges:



This challenge was to make a stripey card. I had some Crate Paper DP that is stripey, so I stamped some images from the Giggle Grove set on it. After I cut them out, I realized it didn't look to stripey.....hence the stripey ribbon. :D For this card I used Baby Pink CS and Papertrey Ink Stamper's Select White. As I mentioned before, the images are stamped on Crate Paper DP....I think it is called the Caitlin Collection?









The other challenge was to make a pink card. Once again, mine isn't that pink, but I think you get the effect? :D If you can't tell I am really into square cards right now. I make them 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. This card is pretty basic....I used Black CS and Stamper's Select White and the pink DP is from the same collection of Crate Paper. The image is from Unity's Growing in Unity set. I LOVE this tree! So I think that is it for this card....... I had so much fun at Hip-Hop. If you haven't participated yet, you NEED to! It's every Thursday and starts at 10:00 a.m. Central time and is in the Unity forum.

Shut up, it's true! There now is a hip-hop hangover! We all have so much fun at hip-hop and CAN'T get enough of it, so on Friday's we have a chillax day! Here is my card for the hangover!
So for this card I busted out the Cupcakes A'La Yummy set. Isn't it soooo yummilicious? I colored the images w/ me Copics and stamped them on PTI Stamper's Select White CS. The other CS used is Clover Meadow and Orange. I used K&Co. Glitter DP for the bases of the images and ran them through my nesties. The ribbon you see if from Pebbles Inc. So there you have it!

Be sure to go to Angela's blog and check out HANGOVER stuff from other UNITY CUSTOMERS! Yes! She showcases her customers too! What a sweet, sweet lady! :D
