Unity FWF... and I am ready for some WINE!

Oh! I can't believe it's been two weeks since my last post...  Well... such it's life!  I've had to dedicate some time to some other things lately.  But, believe me, I need scrapbooking so bad.

Anyway, it's Friday!  This means fun, weekend, family, resting, and Unity Stamp Co. Friends with Flair!!!!   I made a card last night just because I wanted to post it for FWF today... and because I've got an order yesterday and was dying to use at least one of the new stamps, and also because I am very stressed at work and I needed to relax a little bit.

So I made this CAS card using Unity stamps.  For the background I used these new pens I found at TJ Maxx that are specially for stamping.  I wanted to use only one section of the stamp so I directly inked the section and stamped, instead of having to cover any other part I did not want to use at this moment.  So I love my little multicolor wine glasses.



The new stamp is the sentiment.  Don't you love it?


I framed with cardstock and placed while embellished with a doily, ribbon and some sequins.  I also colored in red and added some glossy accents to the little heart.




I felt better...  but still want to make more cards and layouts and cut papers... just for fun... LOL..

Seriously, finding scrapbooking has been great for me.  Sometimes I want to make something but my body doesn't let me.  Have you felt that way?  Tell me... leave me a comment... and maybe meditate about it while having a glass of wine today...  Have a good one!!!!

  2. Me gustó el patrón de las copitas. Y el mensaje de la tarjeta te cae muy bien. Nunca he tratado las lentejuelas así que intentaré hacer algo con ellas. Muchas gracias por la idea.
