I did it! 52 Weeks of FWF!

Last January, I made the new year's resolution to link up to Unity's Friends With Flair each week.  Well, 52 weeks later, I'm proud to say, I did it!

I have a few cards to share with you this week.  A couple were on my blog earlier this week, but haven't seen much traffic and they have great Unity stamps, so I'm showing them again, and I made a card today for the Unity "Be Inspired" Challenge.  I'll show you my challenge card first.

I used the card sketch, turned it sideways, and took a little artistic license with it to come up with this:

 

 

I used papers that I got for 99 cents from Unity Stamp Company.  The stamp is a Unity/Stephanie Ackerman co-brand called "Small Things/Great Love".  It is my New Year's advice to you, and a great motto to live by every day of the year! There's also some UmWow Studio chipboard that I embossed with Creative Inspirations Paint Deliquesce Fine Black embossing powder on this card. There's a little paper piecing on the heart.

 

Next, an anniversary card I made a couple weeks ago for my husband:

 

 

On the inside I wrote, "through snow or sleet, our love is complete."  How sappy is that? This card uses the Unity Itty Bitty stamp, Rain or Shine. There's some 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon and a 3 Girl JAM Real Life Flair button on this card, too.

 

And, a couple of New Year's cards for you. I made this one for this week's Cutting Café post, but it uses a Unity Fashionista, so I'm sharing it again here:

 

 

This is Anastasia, and she is ready for a party! 

The wine glass cutting file can be found HERE.  It is from The Cutting Café.

 



 

The sentiment is from the Unity Sassy Pants set.

 

I have one more card to leave you with.  No Unity Stamps here, but it's a great card to send you off with:

 

I used more UmWow chipboard, embossed with Creative Inspirations Paint Deliquesce Super Sparkle Gold.  The card is a cutting file from the Silhouette Online Store.  I painted some Gold Creative Inspirations Paint behind the sentiment.

My New Year's resolution for 2014?  I want to get more involved in the Unity FB Show & Tell Group.  I've been missing the fun! And, my more serious New Year's resolution?  I'd like to see if I can go all year without buying any new scrapbook paper.  I HAVE to use up my stash!  This'll be a tough one!!!

 

Happy New Year, everyone!
