Today is my last day to be the GIU gal;( I'm very sad, I have enjoyed this so very much! Each and every comment has brought a little sunshine and a smile to my life this week, THANK YOU to those of you who have been so kind to me :)
The last two days outside of my little bloggy world have been fabulous! The kiddos and I took an overnight field trip to visit one of my girlfriends that lives down by Madison. I enjoyed time with some friends playing cards and was able to meet up with one of my childhood friends and take her out to lunch for her birthday <3 On my way home I stopped by my friend Pam's store in Baraboo and picked up a reconditioned Sihloutte for a steal of a deal! Thank You Pam! I think I'm about to enter a whole new world of die cutting, so excited :D
Now I'm home and very sleepy so my grand plans of having a fabulously altered wall art piece to share with you have failed miserably. The rain also hindered my plans for this too since I needed to spray paint the frame before I altered it.... (excuses, excuses, blah, blah, blah). So you will just have to wait till next week to gauk at it, because it will be extrodiare, lol! Alright I think the sleepiness might be making me a bit loopy, I hope you are all laughing at me right now like I am, hahaha! Ok, on with the project already, you say...

I am very pleased with how this card turned out. I was a little leary because these are not my usual color choices and I have this little fear of stamping directly on pattered paper, shhhh don't tell. I with my recent counceling sessions I may have conqoured my fear, lol! I hope this card helps you see just how versitle all of your Unity stamps can be.
To make this beauty I used:
Stamps: Unity Stamp Co. (KOM October 2010) and picnic blanket background stamp
Tools: Fiskars triple-track trimmer, Spellbinders circles, Ek Success border punch
Paper: My Mind's Eye (Stella Rose 6x6 collection), WorldWin (Black and grey)
Embellies: Jolee's hotfix crystals
Inks: Copic, Momento and Ranger-TH distress
I hope you have all enjoyed my week as GIU gal and have become one of my new followers. Sorry about the long post tonight (you can't make me go! Do you see me kicking and screaming like a 3 year old here??). If you have a blog leave me your addy and I will hop over and become a follower of yours :)
Till next time,

Fabulous card. Love the colors and layout. Thanks for all the inspiration this week.
Love the colors. Love the card. It's hard to change things up sometimes from our normal colors, etc we use...but I know I learn to stretch a bit and grow in my stamping when I do something different. Thanks for sharing with us this week...now to find some down time to create. :-)
