Friends with Flair!

It's Friday! Once again I decided to play along with all the creative people over on the Unity Stamp Company blog!
 
Here is the card I made today...along with a close-up!  The butterfly came in my grab bag of goodies that I won for last week's Friends with Flair!  The greeting is enjoy. explore. believe.
 
I also included a quick & simple card I made the other day using Unity's {just a little...clicky} background stamp & a greeting from {insta-live, love, dream}.
I hope you're enjoying my creations as much as I am enjoying making them! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Something Different: Friends with Flair

Just wanted to try something a little different today & decided to jump into Friends with Flair over at the Unity blog.
 
I'm still on my phone instead of the computer... which makes posting a bit of a challenge but I really wanted to share so... you gotta do what you gotta do, right!?!
 
I used a stamp set I just got from Unity Stamps, along with Stampin' Up!'s amazing cardstock & Blendabilities...if you have questions about any of the products I used, just ask!
 
Here is what I created this evening...I hope you enjoy! (& I hope this works too!)

Still no computer...really...

Have you ever tried to do any work on a computer set to factory settings with no programs installed or software updated? I can tell you it's no picnic! Every time I try to do the simplest thing it wants to install an update or do something else that keeps me from doing what I need to do. I haven't had time to sit & deal with that yet.
While I can write short posts on my phone, I'm never sure what to say. (The stuff I want to share involves more time to write & sharing things that I just can't access from my phone.) I'm still working on getting my computer back up & running...although I haven't had much time for that this week. I'm participating in 3 swaps using products from the upcoming Holiday Catalog & they are scheduled to go in the mail tomorrow...which means when I'm no longer stuck on the couch nursing my son, I'll be spending every free minute I can find today trying to get them done! I can't wait to share them with you once I can. (In the meantime I will try to share the cards I got back from the last swap I participated in... but not until I get these in the mail!)

I hope you are all having a great weekend! It's been a flurry of activity here...with some new experiences too! I love weekends!

Have a crafty week...time to get started on Halloween stuff soon too!

Technical difficulties...

Due to many technical issues, I had to reset my computer to factory settings. Of course, this couldn't go as easy as I would have liked...& it's taking way longer to get everything back to some sort of normal. (When I say 'normal', I really mean 'useable'...) So... while I work on getting things to a point where I can actually use the computer & get back to posting, I will try to update you from my phone when I can.

I hope everyone had a great weekend & that you're going to make this week AWESOME!

Adventure...

Spencer got to go to the Magic Kingdom for the 1st time last Wednesday!
We watched the Festival of Fantasy Parade, took a few pics & headed back home.  It was extremely HOT for me & the kids...which makes it difficult to tolerate some of the more aggressive guests in the parks.  We had a good time though...even if we didn't stay long!
 
It was a trip I am proud of...since I usually just opt to stay home with the kids.
Here are a few quick pages I made using MDS to show our adventure...





 
 I hope you enjoyed these super-simple pages!  I love MDS for this reason...no complicated scrapbooking necessary & I can just print them out when I'm ready to put them in a book!

Have a great rest of this Monday & I will see you all again later this week!

Please show some love...today is Saffron's 2nd Birthday!
