A Songbird Serenade for you...Friends with Flair

Listen...do you hear the songbird singing away?  Are you whistling to the lovely tune?  Well, if you aren't, then I hope this card can help to bring that happy tune to you today!  And, if you are whistling already, then twirl around the room and celebrate what makes you happy today!

Friends with Flair makes ME happy today...something I think many of us look forward to...Unity Friends with Flair...especially when I can play with the February KOM--Nothing but Blue Skies...what a fun day!

I created this card for last week's inspiration challenge on the Unity blog:  FWF13.  I actually just uploaded it late last night, so it was a little late...okay, at least I did the challenge...just gotta work on getting the uploads done earlier!  I was inspired by Lisa's card by the polka dots and layered coffee cups...here I have my polka dots and layered birdies.  Also entered this into the 'thinking of you' category for Moxie Fab:

Stacy Julian sent me...

Yay, last week I received a big box in the mail from Stacy Julian...I was a winner of a Simple Stories kit by Memory Works!  Stacy even included a 'big picture scrapbooking' mousepad and a coupon for a class from 'big picture scrapbooking'!

Oh my gosh, this package has a huge nice 12x12 D-ring binder, the Life Documented Kit (180 various elements of  paper, journaling and quote cards, alphas, borders, mats...), various divided page protectors (I was sent 30!!), 6-4x6 transparency overlays...you could see all the options here!

So...if you want to order some of these fantastic items, go visit our friend Bonnie at A Life Unrehearsed.  She can get you anything you need from Memory Works.  I ordered a few more items for this project too!

Evening Barn House...

Happy H{ippity} Hop Monday to you!

Do you ever get a stamp set and then realize that you haven't inked up every stamp in that set?  Well, I realized that I had not inked up the barn and the tree in the {ippity} Simply Home stamp set.  So, I did lots of 'cutting out' and decided to create an evening scene...sun going down, lights on in the barn house, darkened sky:

I layered the barn house 3 times to give a variation of dimension...(I wish they made pop dots/dimensionals in colors other than white!):

White and Black...no Gray

Haaaaaappy Friends with Flair Friday!  Unity has got some awesome new mojo going on...take a look at the blog here and the FWFF blog participants are listed here as well! 

I was playin' with my Unity January KOM--Savor the Journey, and I kept thinking lace, and black and white.  So....I found a big roll of ribbon lace in my stash.  You know the stash you forget about, or don't want to use it...yet!  Then, I remembered that Heidi Swapp is putting lots of frill with crepe paper in her projects...oh well, I couldn't find any crepe paper in my stash, so... 

I love the circle frame that is in this kit, so I embossed it in white on black cardstock.  Then, I decided to use the lace ribbon and bunch it up on one of the openings of my cards, added some half pearls, a little ribbon, and poof...here's what I made (sorry for the terrible lighting):
