5 Minute Friday Card with Unity Stamps

Happy Friday!  This week I really wanted to get out my new stamps and play! I ordered a whole bunch of stamps from Unity Stamp Company out of Minnesota, and I'm in LOVE!!  They have a wonderful selection of cling mount stamps that coordinate with paper lines such as: Echo Park, Simple Stories, Bella Blvd. and more. If you haven't checked them out you need to!  www.unitystampco.com

Supplies Used:

Crumb Cake Cardstock (Stampin' Up!)
Charlotte Pattern Paper (K & Co)

After trying for 5 hours to upload my 5 minute video I am calling it a night....will get it figured out tomorrow! So sorry I am technologically inept!!

New for November

Now that I have had time to get my blog up to date and my facebook page started, it's time to start adding some videos!!  You can view a few of my early videos on youtube (name lanirosecrafts), I am hoping to start adding tutorials and such to both my blog and youtube page.  Check back next week for my first series "Five Minute Fridays" where I will show organizational ideas, quick cards, and other tips and tricks of the trade! Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Halloween!

Vintage Christmas Mini Album

Vintage Christmas Mini Album

  I don't know why, but when I get excited about Christmas products they are ALWAYS vintage themed! So of course this new line from Bo Bunny was perfect!  The album measures about 5x 6-6 1/2) and has lots of spots for journaling and photos.  I am offering this kit as a class on Saturday, December 3rd for $35.00 or completed albums mailed/pick-up for $40.00 plus shipping.  If you would like to attend the class or buy a completed album, please let me know by November 10th.
