More Creative Team Work~Flying Unicorn

Hey scrapping friends!

Today I'm sharing some CT work I did this week for Flying Unicorn. This is a layout of my dear friend on her wedding day. The picture is so beautiful I didn't want to over-load my layout with too many goodies, so I tried to get it simple and elegant.

I love red and black together! The paper, chipboard and  flowers are all Fying Unicorn, some of the flowers were different colors, but I just painted them with Santa Baby Glimmer Mist to get them red. The vines are from Lisa Gregory which I think you can find on her fabulous blog. Here are some close ups:

A Gigantic Reveal and Mini Album Swap at Flying Unicorn!

Do you love mini albums as much as I do? If you said yes, then I invite you to join us at Flying Unicorn for our Mini Album Swap!

We have 3 styles, paper bag albums, 6x6, and odd shaped..such as a bird, house, etc. Mini albums are so cute, creative and are great for holding your wallet size photos!!

Here is my paper bag album for the swap:

I used the beautiful Pion Paper which you can find HERE at the Flying Unicorn store,  along with most of the other products you'll see in the album. Only a few things I used from my stash. This paper is just so easy to work with..it's beautiful all on it's own, so it doesn't really need alot of embellies..tho I LOVE embellies!!

Here are the inside pages:

Now time for the GIGANTIC news!! Flying Unicorn now has a scrapbooking magazine filled with the most wonderful tutorials, layouts, cards, tips and techniques, and so much more!!!

Fun CT work using Pion and Websters!!

Hey scrapping friends!!

Just sharing a layout I did for the Creative Team and challenge over at Flying Unicorn. I used the new Pion Paper that Flying Unicorn is carrying mixed with some Websters. Click HERE to go to the store to see this beautiful line and what is new!!

I started by tracing a die cut from Websters and cutting out the pattern which I Glimmer Misted using Sugar Plum Fairy and Tim Holtz Flourish Mask. I did some fussy cutting from Websters Country Estate and used my Sew Easy tool for the stitching. The hinges are from KaiserCraft and I painted them with Glimmer Glaze and brushed some Snow White Dabber Paint over them. I cut out words from different rub-ons I have and added around the edging.

If you haven't joined Flying Unicorn's forum please do so! The kits are a must see! Even tho June's kit sold out, July is right around the corner and I know it's going to be FABULOUS!!!!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week and till next time..Happy Scrappin!!

Pion Paper

Hey scrapping friends!

When I saw that Alda was carrying Pion Paper at the Flying Unicorn store, I was uber excited! I couldn't wait to get my greedy little hands on this line! It is truly beautiful..such nice quality and great to work with. The colors are soft, pretty, shabby, just right up my alley.

I used a pic of my darling step daughter who is growing up right before my eyes. Seems like yesterday she was running around playing with Bratz dolls. Now she's a teenager, has her own cell phone and seems to be interested in boys. Which I'm not ready for, yet alone Dad!

I kept the layout pretty simple as not to take away from the beauty of the paper. It is just too pretty to cover up!

To get this effect on my Dusty Attic chippie, I painted it white with Snow White paint dabber (Ranger) and then quickly spritzed it with Frost Glimmer Mist..then let dry.

I hope you join us in the Forum at Flying Unicorn!!! We have lots of fun challenges and some awesome inspirational artists!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a very creative weekend!!

Happy Scrappin!!

 A few close ups:

Thanks for stopping by!! I really hope to inspire some of you to get creative!!


Join us in the FORUM for some great challenges and all around fun!!!

Flying Unicorn's June Kit Reveal!!! "Treasured Moments"

Hey scrappers!!! Get ready for a LONG post...and lots of creativity to share!!

Flying Unicorn's June kit is now revealed!!!

Take a look at this beautiful kit!!! "Treasured Moments" It's filled with the most soft, shabby, gorgeous papers, flowers and embellies. The Melissa Frances paper that is included is fabulous!

The kit also comes with an Off the Page" project: This month is it Flying Unicorns OWN 6x6 mini album. Yes, Flying Unicorn is the manufacturer of this wonderful unique album!!

I got 4 layouts done with this kit, 2 cards, my mini album and still have a bit of paper and flowers left over!!

Here is my mini album. I love this album! It opens from the center, so I took it apart to get better pictures of each page so you could see.

Now, most of the products you see are from the kit, but some things are from my stash. Please visit The Flying Unicorn Blog or the Flying Unicorn Store for more information on what products are in the kit. The kit sells for 31.99. Click HERE and it will take you straight to the kit ordering page.

I hope you love this kit as much as I do! It is truly beautiful!! I almost forgot to share that I made some of the blooms in the Special You layout using a tutorial by Gabrielle Pollacco. She has a great way to use Websters netting!! Tho, hers are MUCH prettier than mine.

Thanks for stopping by and hope  to see you in our FORUM to share your creations!!

Happy Scrappin everyone!!
