happy...

i hate being stumped by a swap.  i love atcs.  they are small 3 1/2" by 2 1/2" size little creative works.  suzi is hosting a few swaps and this set is for the one with a polka dot theme.  and this one stumped me. big time.  i could not figure out what to do.  so over the course of a few days, this is what came out.  i  am happy with the final result. especially the buttons.  love buttons!! i'm a little bit of a button hoarder.  but don't judge!!  i'm also loving the new in colors from stampin up.  at first i was like "blah" but now i like them.

and it's friday, so i'll play along with friends with flair and the unity peeps again.  who doesn't want the shot at some free unity goodies???  go play along.

happy.

giu day 2...

hello and welcome if you are coming to check out growing in unity day two!  today i'm sharing a project i made for an atc swap.  the theme was pink and black. i used one of my favorite unity stamps, (that i don't use enough...) hearts of old, for the background.  then added a little hello.  i made the banner using a tiny little  pennant punch and some baker's twine.

funny story about this set of atcs. i made it on my crafty getaway a few weeks ago. i wanted to use this cute owl/tree die from amuse. but i didn't want to cut them all out...so my cute friend sherri did it for me! so i have to say this was a joint effort. thanks, sis!!
