What better way to celebrate Tax Day than with a nice, relaxing blog hop? Click HERE to get to Unity's Friends With Flair. Doing it a little differently this week. I think it's a great change, so enjoy!
For your shopping pleasure, here's your link to the Unity website. Always fun to check out the latest Kit of the Month, as well as all the great companies that co-brand with Unity. And don't forget to check out the sale items. There is literally something for everyone!
My card today: Just like the kid in Sixth Sense, I see "things," too. But I see "cards" in my head. Lol. I sometimes know just what I want to make. I screeched to a halt though when the 12x12 dp that I wanted was all gone except for a variety of scraps I had from the last time I used this particular sheet. So, it was a challenge to maneuver the scraps into the pieces I needed, but I think I was able to produce my "vision" after all. (Remember, the tutorial for this tri-shutter card is up on my left sidebar.) In order to enter it into the current All Things Unity challenge, I decided to decorate the cake with button icing. If you squint, they look like little icing florets, lol. The woman, the cake and "Eat Cake" are from Melody Ross' Domestic Bliss (love this set), "Today is the Day" (I love that it's in script) is from Melody Ross' She Did It Anyway and the "Happy Birthday" is from Party Hat Wishes (an Ippity set). The highlighted words will take to a site where you can purchase each. (I've also entered this card in Simply Scrapping Crafts' color challenge HERE, too.)
Before you ask the question, I don't know what the source of these tiny buttons is, they've been in my stash awhile, but you can bet I'm going to be on the hunt for more soon. Also wanted to let you know that I came across these unbelievable Micro Gluedots on www.Joann.com and snapped them up.
That's it for today. If you come back tomorrow, you'll see the cute mini-book I made that features a paper pieced Ippity stamp.
Smile... 365 days til the next Tax Day!

Your card is amazing! I love it. I need to try out your tutorial. And I love the idea of those micro glue dots -- even smaller then the mini (which are never quite small enough). I am going to be on the lookout for those! Thanks for the inspiration.
