Unforgettable Moments... FWF

Well first of all I must say that I just love getting Happy Mail.. any day of the week but when I got this Scrapbooking Kit in the mail yesterday I just couldn't wait to ink it up.. Unforgettable Moments.. this kit is full of great scrapbooking images that let your imagination flow out.. I just love everything in this one and those Basic Grey papers are fantastic. I didn't have to use anything other than some Brazill cardstock and some Bo Bunny letters.. everything came with the kit and lots left over to make another 4 layouts and some cards.. How wonderful it that!! It is a must buy and for the Price is it worth every penny.

Here is the Unforgettable Moments Kit.. all of this Just AMAZING!!!



Here is my layout... Lip Gloss
Lip gloss is the one girly thing that my daughter has to wear.. yes she is starting early.. I blame this on my sister Shari.. she is the head of training for Mac Cosmetics in Canada.. and Sydney got made over one night by her and that was it.. addicted to lip gloss, Everyday before school she needs to put some on.. and she has quite a collection of colours all Mac..all from her Auntie.. what a lucky 4 year old. Here her Cousin is making her up.. a sweet moment to have your big cousin putting make up on you.. I just love these girly moments.. truly unforgettable!!



Here is just a close up shot of the Details.



Now you must go check out the Unity Blog. The beautiful Angela will have a list of very creative participants , take a gander at all their creations and look for that blinkie.. leave lots of love for everyone.
Have a fantastic weekend, tonight my friend Tina is coming over for our monthly learn a new technique scrap/card making night.. it is lots of fun!! I can't wait!! She is also addicted to Unity!

Compensation

Volunteer

Personal satisfaction-recognition for being a Designer, Resume builder and being mentor & leader who inspires, shares & motivates others to create.

I am blessed to be surrounded with gals who are willing to share their time, talent and passion with others and not for compensation or $FREE$ what’s in it for me. I believe that what you give will be returned to you tenfold.

A brief overview- As a Design Team Member you are the pillar of the community. It is not just about creating "Award Winning Projects" but walking in professionalism, integrity, and honesty. You are not only to inspire the community but your fellow Design Teammates. The Team & members look up to you as a leader and follow your example.

I want to relinquish some of my duties and have the DT do exactly that. Design and Inspire.

I love Mondays for this one reason.. to hop with my friends on Ippity.. if you go over to the blog you will find lots of great participants with all their projects to share. Last week the challenge was to do a card with a shape.. I have only done very square cards so this was a first for me.. and GUESS WHAT!!! I was also featured in EVA's Sunday Fav's for this one too. I was so excited.. There were lots of great shapes that I am going to try.. great inspiration..

Here is my card.. Happy Birthday using the stamp from Life's Little Moments.



I also did this layout, using one of the background stamp form that same set.. I just love how this turned out. You only see the image slightly but it is there.. I love that number stamp.
