Hold fast

The sketch for today's card is from Unscripted Sketches #20. The gals at Unscripted come up with the best sketches!

I love the sentiment on this card. It reads, "Hold fast to your dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird, that cannot fly." ~ Langston Hughes. What a great reminder to keep our eye on the goal {whatever yours may be}.


The card was cut using a Sizzix Movers & Shapers die which cuts the card and a window. I've been playing around with placing the window cut-out in different positions ... so you may see more card with a similar design. I plan to purchase other shapes as I am able ... hehe.

Supplies: Unity Stamps; Copics; DCWV cardstock; Nestabilities label, flower; Sizzix die; Memento ink; Target brad, SU ribbon.

World Record Inspirational Unity Stamps Blog Hop!

Today is the day for the huge Unity Stamps blog hop! Everyone participating will have a project using Unity Stamps, and a link to the next blog. One project was requested, but I was having so much fun I made 2 {one with a twist}.

First, Mr. Owl ~ isn't he adorable up in the tree? He is from "It's the Little Things" July kit of the month; the tree is from "Little Sprout".


supplies: Unity stamps, SU cardstock, designer papers, misc. buttons, pop dots, ribbon, Memento inks, Copics.

Second a whimsical butterfly ~ from "Floral Fantastical" ~ the first card is simple enough, but I decided to add a rosette to the card for the second photo. What do you think, do you like the rosette or would it be better without it?


supplies: Unity stamps, American Crafts Tea Party paper, SU cardstock, ribbon, rosette, scallop marvy oval punch, Memento ink, Copics

Oops, almost forgot to share my favorite {at the moment} quote:

You can't stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes. ~ Winnie the Pooh
