How 'bout some Unity love?

I've posted before about my new found love for Unity Stamp Company but I just need to say it again ... I LOVE these stamps! They are just so adorable and fun to work with. And if you haven't checked them out yet now is the perfect time because they are having a killer sale now thru Friday morning for the Thanksgiving holiday. So I wanted to share a few things I created with my November Kit of the Month from Unity (yes! they have KOM - talk about HAPPY mail!). This little deer stamp just called my name and I had to put her to good use as soon as I saw her. And with Christmas right around the corner there's nothing like a little red rhinestone on her sweet little nose to transfrom her into everyone's favorite reindeer Rudolph!

Doesn't it look like her little nose is GLOWING? hee hee!

And here's a gift card holder tag that I created with the same basic design as the card.

If you do decide to give Unity a try with these fantastic deals they are running a little "refer a friend" deal right now. All you have to do is send an email to eryn@unitystampco.com with my name (Lynn Ghahary) as the subject. In the body of your email include your order number and the word BEAUTY, BLOSSOM, or SHINE and you and I will each get a free stamp (yours will be included in your order)! How cool is that!

And above all I want to just say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I am truly blessed and thankful for all of the wonderful family and friends that surround me. :)

Got Sketch?

Just wanted to share a new layout I did for Sketch 71 on Valerie's Got Sketch? blog. This was a really fun sketch to work with and I was excited to scrap these pictures I took of the boys playing in the leaves not too long ago. Of course our weather lately has been so cold it seems like ages since we've been able to get outside and play. I am soooo not a cold weather person ..... brrrrr!




I love this little leaf embellishment that I made. I cut some corduroy into a circle and then stitched a pre-punched felt leaf to the circle for some really nice texture and contrast. So fun!

WOW! A whole week gone by ...

... and I haven't posted. Geesh! It's amazing how time just seems to disappear into thin air around here. And I really don't have that much time right now as I should be finishing up laundry and getting my scrappy space all cleaned up for my two gal pals to come over tonight (woo hoo! SO excited to scrap with Corey and Kristen). I did just want to post a few cards I had made last week. I have actually been waiting to take pictures of these until the weather around here cleared up so I had some nice natural light to shoot in. Of course it's been raining and overcast nearly every day this week so I just took the pics and tried to lighten them up a bit post-process. You get the idea though. I decided that I should try to make a card or two after I finish a layout since I've already got all the coordinating supplies right out there on the table. Took to this idea after reading this is what my blog buddy Laura Vegas does. So these two cards were made after I made my "birthday hero" layout I posted below.
