chocolate...

let's be honest here.  if you are a chocolate lover, then you can totally relate to this card.  this week was not a great one.  and this card couldn't be more fitting!!  i actually made this for someone else, but really wanted to send one to myself, too!!!

do lunch...

the thing i love about ordering stamps from unity (other than the obvious...they are so damn cute!) is you get a little free surprise in each order. they are so awesome.  makes ripping open your order fun to see what you got.  it the latest order i received, it had some pieces of cardstock.  now if i were to see this cardstock, i probably would have never picked it out to use.  but when i saw it together, it just screamed "use me"!  i paired it with this stamp.  because i think the cardstock is so nice and pretty and this stamp gives the impression that it is so nice and pretty, then it makes you totally belly laugh. so at first glance you are like "what a pretty card" then you read it and it's hilarious.  or maybe that's just how my crazy mind works.  regardless, i love the freebies that are included with my stamps!!

what the flock...

i have been dying to use this stamp.  what sentiment is better than this one?  i love it. and the birds??  i can't get enough of them. i took a little different approach with this card.  i grabbed two pieces of cardstock and wanted to make two cards that were a tich different.  here's what came of it.

be there...

how long has it been since i've participated in friends with flair??  who knows!  but i decided to today.  this card was inspired by one of the emails that angela sends out for unity with the awesome tips on quick cards.  it's sparked something in my brain.  i keep thinking taking time to make a card needs to be this big long process.  not.the.case.  i watched  one of the quick video tips, came up to my room and made a quick card.  I NEED TO DO THAT MORE OFTEN!!!  hope you have a great weekend!!
