Happy New Year's to all of you!

Feels good to be crafty again!

I've got a few projects to share with you today...

so we shall begin!

First off is the NEW {be inspired} CHALLENGE!

With this...

I created this!

(using the new sentiment kit!)

What you see here is a glimpse of the new sentiment kit that just got released today!

Lots of useful sentiments with a pretty flower border to go with it.

With my card - I only used the rose part of the border... 

(just to be different. HA!)

I stuck to the inspiration colours and the sketch - 

but you can use one or the other...

and it can be any Unity stamps to enter this challenge!

Challenge link here.

Secondly - 

it's Angela's Birthday weekend!

...and we're celebrating it in style with all Unity at 50% off!

...and there's also some fun itty bitty and Phyllis Harris releases!

I had time to make a card with one stamp that caught my eye...

it's a PICKLE stamp and had a BLAST colouring this!

I must say... this is probably one of my fave Copics colouring job I've ever done!

I love pickles by the way... 

I eat them every chance I get.

Made me crave them just colouring this card!

(and no, I'm not pregnant!)

Next up is a card that I made for Kit of the Month Monday...

(and I'm sure some of you have seen it already, so I apologize!)

Using the current circle woodgrain stamp -

I cut out another circle within it to place a little nest for a birdie.

So cute, isn't it?

It's a great card to give to my mama! :)

Lastly, but not least, is a 3D craft made using the current SMAK.

I made a suitcase box.... 

I had to after seeing so many fun travel stamps!

I used the Scoot collection from Echo Park - 

and THIS FILE for the suitcase.

I LOVE this file - 

the handle is super cute and the box opens like a regular box,

so it makes a perfect gift box!

(or keepsake box for all vacation photos)

I colored in the stamps, and purposely, adhered them onto the luggage with a bit folded over.

... and see what I mean?

Lots of space to put treasures in!

Okay, that's it!

(FINALLY!)

Make sure that you leave some love

 as there's TWO LUCKY WINNERS chosen to receive this prize pack!

...and we have a guest hopping with us today - 

so I'm sending you off to Kassi!
