First Friends with Flair of 2015!

Happy New Year!! Welcome to the first Unity Friends with Flair link up for 2015!
Do you have any crafty goals for the new year? I’d love to hear about them in the comments.
One of my crafty goals is to try new techniques more often. I need to make sure I don’t get stuck in a style rut! So here is a little art print I created for the new year…
I used the heart and sentiment stamps from the November SMAK “Trust Your Soul” kit. Then I just played around with my watercolors and added some glitter (obviously) around the print. I had a lot of fun making this and have already made 4 more with a similar style 🙂
Don’t forget to shop the Unity Warehouse Sale! Stamps up to 75% off and FREE shipping on orders over $25! Have fun shopping 🙂

    Happy New Year! Rachel, yes, I do have a few crafty goals: one, is to hopefully be a part of a design team for the very first time; two, to get published for the very first time; and three, blog more. I guess we'll just have to wait to see what happens!

    My crafty goals are to make more shabby style layouts, and mini albums using stacks of paper pads I have been hoarding for years.

    YOU are AMAZING!!!
    I have two crafty goals, one is to try more techniques & products, the other is to FINISH EVERYTHING … I have too many projects that I started that are still waiting to be finished off. I don't want to buy ANY commercially made cards this year, so if I focus all my creativity on personalised cards then I'm more likely to achieve my goals 🙂
