Layers of Life with Donna

Hello Everyone!

Donna here with you today sharing a card I created using the current Layers of Life kit.

These kits always touch my heart…sentimental I guess.

This month’s kit is titled :

Give it Up – Let it Go

I used an A2 size card, added distress inks to the edges and then gently tore around the entire card using a distress tool.  Scissors work just as well if you don’t happen to have a tool on hand.

To get a deeper/contrasting color on the sentiment area I shaded in with Copic markers and blended it all together. Finishing up by adding some chipboard birdies that I colored black and finally adding the random arrows from the  Design your Week kit. Those were stamped with Vintage Photo distress ink by Tim Holtz.

Thanks for joining me today.

Inspiration Wednesday with Donna

 

Hey Everyone!  Donna here with you today for the Inspiration Wednesday post. With Christmas fast approaching I’ve been working on getting my holiday greetings completed.

I’m a huge fan of vintage and Tierra’s sled really took me back.

I remember having a sled like this when I was a girl.

I found this awesome color palatte on Pinterest (winter color palate)  which really helped me keep that old school vibe.

This gorgeous Kit is called Memories Made.

 

For the background I used the snowflakes from the sentiment kit Poinsettia with Love 

Thank you so much for visiting today.  I hope you are feeling inspired.  Don’t forget to share your creations with us on the Unity Show and Tell Facebook group page.

Uniquely Unity Kit Reminder with Donna

Hello…happy Sunday!
It’s Donna here with you today sharing another reminder about the lovely
Uniquely Unity Collection kit Possibilities Await.
The vintage camera is just gorgeous and perfect for card making or mixed media/scrapbooking projects.
I used Prisma color pencils to highlight the image in white and added brighter colors to the lovely butterfly.  To accent the edges I just used a black Sharpie marker and placed dots randomly.
Take advantage of the Uniquely Unity Collection kits by becoming a member.
Don’t forget how much we love to see your work in the
group on Facebook as well.
Have a beautiful day!

Uniquely Unity Collection with Donna K


Hello everyone.  

Donna K here with you today sharing another project using this month’s 

Uniquely Unity Collection kit.  

The vintage camera stole my heart.  I was going for a sepia effect using vintage photo distress ink and similar colors in Copic Marker to get the sepia feel.  For the background of my card I used last month’s SMAK kit  called Truest Life …..the filmstrip was perfect. 


I can imagine so many ways to use this gorgeous kit.  Cards, layouts, mixed media…

definitely lots of possibilities.
 


 


 


Please do share your creations with us on the Unity Show and Tell Page on FB.
 


We love seeing what you are all up to.
 


Have a day full of happy!

Fall to Go DT Tuesday

 
Hello everyone…
It feels like fall in North Carolina today so I thought I’d share this 
cozy Fall to Go card with you.
I think this stamp kit is the perfect representation of
Pumpkin Spice Latte.
I used a kraft file folder for the base of my card then stamped the
edges with Archival Black Ink using a stamp from the
Loosely water coloring using Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers added the perfect amount of fall color to my image.
I was trying to play along with the current challenge in the Show and Tell group
on Facebook with my design this week.
 
Which brings me to the next projects I’d like to share. 
 
Isn’t this just beautiful? I love this design by Jeannie Thomas that I 
found in the Unity Show and Tell Group.
She used the current KOM for her lovely card.  
 
AND also….this beauty shared by  
 
Donna used Rebuild Your Life for her stunning card.
I adore the Show and Tell group and encourage you to
become part of the fun.  
 
So much inspiration and helpful tips shared there.

DT Tuesday

Hello.  
Donna K with you today sharing a card I made using the Full of Fall stamp set.
One of the recently released stamps for fall.  
Coloring this image was so fun.  You can go crazy with lots of detail or
just add basic colors throughout as I did.  Adding white gel really made
the images stand out on the kraft card stock.
Full of Fall 
I found a few pieces in the Unity Show and Tell group on Facebook that I’d like to share as well.
Fabulous colors and beautiful inspiration.
 Eileen Mathys  created this stunning card with such a pretty background.
  
And next is Amanda Garrett’s card.  Also from the Show and Tell group.
She used fantastic colors as well.
Fabulous job ladies. 
 I absolutely LOVE the creativity and inspiration found in that group. 
Wishing you a beautiful day.

One Happy Life

Hello Everyone…
 I have had a lot of fun decorating my planner the past few months.
If you didn’t see the new Planner Gal stamps you MUST check them out. 
I started my August calendar with Planner Gal : One Happy Life.
Her pixie hair is THE cutest.  August is a big birthday month for our family.
I’m excited to get the dates filled in.
Planner Gal : One Happy Life
My Planner is a basic 8.5 X 11 size with a hard cover.  
It’s made by Mead and I picked it up at Target for only about 9 dollars.  The price was right and I love the size of the calendar blocks, lots of room for writing. 
Have a happy day today….
