In Memory

In memory of what you may ask? One year and one week ago a thing called Hip Hop was started on Splitcoast. We all wondered what on what on earth? Hip Hop... you mean the music? NO!!! And thus begun a phenomenon that happened every Thursday that would suck you into it's vortex of fun with chatting and giveaways. Angela, the Goddess of Unity, has divined that the end of Hip Hop was yesterday but does that mean the fun is over? HARDLY!! Do we know what's up Angela's sleeve? Well, I don't...not yet at least, but I can't wait to find out.

Stamps: Unity Stamp Co - Giggle Groove, May KOM (...another sweet day); Inks: Memento Rich Cocoa; Paper: PTI Kraft & Chocolate, Basic Grey - Lime Rickey, Generic White CS; Other: Copics ABS, Chatterbox Ribbon, Horizontal Slot SU Punch

Now onto the fun!! It's Friday and time for our Friday Fun Challenge. This week's challenge is to make something you can wear. Now although I did that I can't seem to take a good picture of it to save my life. I might have to bribe my sister to come take it.

Stamps: Unity Stamp Co - Bevy of Butterflies; Ink: Stazon - Forest Green; Paper (?): Polyshrink; Other: Bobby pins

These are so easy to make. The only thing is you have to make sure that the bobby pin is really in there because they can come loose. I wear mine all the time and love them.

Would you like to see what everybody else made this week? Me too...

A Threefer and Day Two of the Blogoversary Giveaway

Tonight was such a busy little girl.  I was actually organizing.  I know *GASP*!!!  Natalie aka Dougnat suggested these stamp organizers that they have at Target for $1.99 but they don't have them at my Target.  Well, I started thinking what else do I have.  I have the Document Holders that Target usually sells in the $1 spot and they work just as well and let me tell you they hold A LOT!!

When I finished filling the ones I had, I decided to go ahead and make a card.  I made it to fit three challenges, the color, inspiration, and sketch challenge. 

Stamps:  Unity Stamp Co - Gratitude=Joy, Together Forever; Ink: Versafine Black, Creamy Caramel, Real Red; Paper: Real Red, Kraft, GA Pacific White; Other: Stickles, Black Pen

On the two side plants, I stamped off the black once before I stamped on the card.  Then on the reeds I used a blending stump dipped in Creamy Caramel ink to draw them in to match what I chose for my inspiration challenge.

Now it's on to Day Two of the Blogoversary giveaway.  Today I am giving away a Provo Craft paper pack.

Please leave a comment by Friday, November 21 at 6 pm EST and then I will randomly draw a winner.

Don't forget that tomorrow is Hip Hop Thursday so make sure that you join us in the Splitcoaststamper forum for loads of fun and giveaways.

Lisa aka lisamh challenged us today for the Unity Wednesday today to do use Pottery Barn plates for inspiration. I don't know if I did justice to the plates but here's what I came up with.

I used Hey Chick stamp in Gold Stampabilites ink & Doily in Tempting Turquoise. The CS used are Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, & Certainly Celery. The ribbon is just some Mike's ribbon & the charms I got from HL & ebay.
