New Friday the Thirteenth Collection




Flying Unicorn is excited to announce we are now carrying a new paper line straight from Poland, Friday the Thirteenth!!

I love this paper..it's great quality and perfect for standing up to the challenge of Gesso, mists and molding paste!!! Sometimes when working with mixed mediums, I find some papers don't stand up..but this line if fabulous!! Here is a layout I made using the 100% collection. I made this for the Round Robin Challenge over in the Flying Unicorn Forums



I used the Prima Crackle mask and molding paste on the background.

I layered some burlap under the Dusty Attic chipboard. and then framed my pic with twine. I added Prima Flowers to bring it all together.




Go check out all the collections of the new Friday the Thirteenth papers!!! I know you'll love them!

A Meadow of Flowers

Hey scrapping friends!

Just sharing a LO I did for Alda's Meadow of Flowers Challenge in the Flying Unicorn Forum. 

The focus of the challenge is to use LOTS AND LOTS of flowers! I love the challenges there! Everyone is welcome and you don't have to use our kits or products to join in. You can use your own stash...makes it fair for everyone to participate.

I used Fabscraps Blue Cathedral for my bg paper. I also cut out an octagon shape from 13 Arts Cold Brick Wall paper.

The chipboard vines are Dusty Attic which I colored with Peeled Paint Distress Stain. I used lots of flowers from my stash and the butterfly is from my scrappy sister Lisa Gregory.

Here are some close ups

Thanks for stopping by!!

Come on over the the FORUM CHALLENGES and join us!! You could win a great RAK!!

May Kit Creations



Hey everyone!!

It's the first day of May and that means sharing some new creations using the new May kit from Flying Unicorn!

I hope you were able to hop along with us last weekend for our Blog Hop in which we introduced the new Mixed Media kit at Flying Unicorn. The kit is AMAZING! If you missed out on purchasing one, don't worry..a new one will be available June 15th!

This kit has got to be one of my most favorite of all. I love the Prima Divine Papers, the coral burlap and flowers..just gorgeous goodies throughout the kit! I used the Wheat Mask that was in the Mixed Media kit for the background. I also used Studio Acrylic Paint and Lindy's.

I love that one of the Prima sheets "Ballade"  has cut out banners..perfect!!




Love the alpha stickers and I tucked the word friend in the flowers here

This pic is my stepdaughter at her first prom..giving dad a hug before he sent her off. So sweet. I used the Diamond Mask and molding paste on the background, along with the Floral Texture Background Stamp. 

I edged the circle with Leaf Ribbon from the store. A inspiration from one of Gabi Pollacco's past LO's. I hung the Flying Unicorn Metal Adornment Heart off the DA vine with some twine.




This next LO I made is for a friend who lost one of her boys to Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome. I just love the photo she made of the two. I know his brother is watching down on him from Heaven
