Got KOM?

Today, the Unity Rockstars are celebrating KOM's, Past and PRESENT! If you've ever recieved a lovely envelope in the mail with your KOM in it, you know the joy it brings:D They come to your door, on an 8.5x11 sheet of rubber goodness, all laser cut for you so all you have to do is pop them out and stamp! Seriously, these KOM's get the most mileage of any stamps I own and I'm not just saying that! They're great for Scrapping and Carding!

For my first project, I created a layout of my sweet pooch Luke:

The "happy", "sweet", "loved this day", and the conehead (heehee) flowers are all from the May 09 KOM which you can STILL sign up for! I printed some digi papers from The Digi Chick for my layout. The cone flowers (which I shall forever call coneheads) were stamped and then cut out and popped up on dimensionals, it adds fun texture *I think!* The giant "&" is from my Slice cartridge. I really wish I hadn't got those huge blue recycle bins in the photo, lol! What an eyesore! Oh well, Luke makes up for it:)

I also made a card using the August 08 KOM:

The sweet birds and sentiment are from the August KOM and the stamped background is the Tea Time Pattern background stamp.

I hope you enjoy today's Blog Hop and all the KOM eye candy:) Remember to come hang out in the Unity Forum for a day full of fun, challenges, games, and prizes!

Your next stop on the hop is the SCRAPPING SUPERSTAR HERSELF, ***LYNN***

The May KOM is LIVE! and BLOG CANDY WINNER!!

Well ladies, the May KOM is now available for purchase, sign up today to get your KOM! They ship out on the 15th and they are HOT! You'll love every stamp! At the time of this post, the April KOM is still showing but anytime now the May KOM will replace it on the website so keep checking back!

I have one more sample today that I created with some stamps from the kit. I stamped the dragonfly in Soft Sky and then cute the wings just enough to pop them out and show the Blue Bayou underneath! Looks super cute IRL:) Don't you love that flower stem? So fun!

Everyone have a fantastic weekend!

HIP HOP and my 100th post!!!!!!!!

Well ladies, it's HIP HOP again! I have my husband well trained. So I was sitting here and I go OMG! I forgot what day it is! He goes "Hip Hop Thursday?" LOL! Isn't he SO SmART!? I'm so in love with that guy:) He had his fitness today and scored a 100%, if you know anything about the PT Program, you know that's a huge accomplishment! I get like an 80% on mine, lol! That guy can run like the wind though.

Anyways, sorry to get off topic, but I was so proud of him that he knew it was Hip Hop Thursday! Know what else it is? Day 4 of the Unity Celebration! Unity is turning a year old and we've been partying like Unity Rockstars all week! It's not too late to join in the fun, check out Angela's Blog and the SCS Forums for the breakdown of events today! Lots of fun games and challenges so be sure to join in...

Today's sneak peek is of this ADORABLE journaling block!

They are SO MUCH FUN! It's one long stamp and it's PERFECT for scrapping, so it gave me an excuse to scrap this week! Here's the page I created using these journaling circles:
This is my friend Jenny, and these photos are from 2007 on her FIRST pregnancy. She's now about to pop baby #2 out, lol! She enlisted me to make a baby book so this is just a page that will go inside it:) I really need to get better and taking pics of my layouts because I don't think this picture does the page justice! I think it turned out so cute, lol! The dp is all DIGI paper by The Digi Chick, the paper pack is called Tangerine Twist! I have been loving buying papers and printing them out, so fast and easy! Do you see the sweet journaling blocks? I love them, so fun! And I also added the birdcages from Day One. I cut them out and popped them up for some fun:) The title (26 weeks) and the "M" in the middle are from an older kit that was broken up and sold seperately. If you want to know what they are, just contact me and I'll find out, I didn't have time to search through and pick them out tonite:)

I also created this following card for this weeks Sketch Challenge on My Unity Place! If you haven't joined yet, you really should, you're missing lots of fun and inspiration:) Check the sketch out HERE! And here is my card using the coneflowers from yesterday's peek! Oh and by the way, some of you laughed at my "Conehead" remarks yesterday but I totally thought that's what these were called, lol! MY BAD! They're Cone FLOWERS! OH! Heehee:)

I also used the sentiment from the February 2009 KOM. I colored the flowers in with Copics and then cut a couple out and popped them up for dimension. I love all the dimension this card has, it's huge IRL, I don't know how I'll ever get it in an envelope, lol! Oh well...

In honor of this being my 100th post *YEAH ME!* I am giving away a brand new JUST MY TYPE alphabet set! It's sitting here WAITING to be mailed out to you! Just leave a comment by midnight tonite and I'll post a winner on Friday!

So I hope you're having an awesome time on the blog hop so far today! You still have plenty more to look at so I'm going to quit yapping and send you over to

***LAURA!***

Day 3 - Unity Celebration!

How are you enjoying the Unity Celebration Party so far this week? So many fun things going on, it's almost overwhelming! To make sure you don't miss anything, check in on Angela's Blog for the details of the day!

I'm peeking another fun stamp from the May KOM today! This stamp is a bunch of Conehead flowers, aren't they beautiful? They are tons of fun to color and I can see them in an array of DIFFERENT colors, most of which are not natural to that type of flower, lol! Oh well! I stuck to pretty natural colors, using my Copics!
I kept my card nice and simple so I could showcase those beautiful flowers! I had to have a couple layers though, you know me:)

Okay, gotta cut it short today, giving hubs a hair cut and then going to bed (my new swimming workout starts bright and early at 0530 tomorrow morning!), check out the girls' blogs for more coneheads!!!!!!!

We're at day two of this week long celebration of Unity's 1st birthday! There are so many fun things going on, you really don't want to miss any of it! Check out Angela's Blog and the Forums for details on what's going on today! I do know that Ms. Christi Snow is hostessing today's challenge in the forums and it's a FUN ONE! Go check it out!
-------------------------------------------------
Along with today's challenges and fun games, you feel like seeing another peek at a new stamp in the May KOM? Well okay then! I have a card just for you!

Today we're peaking this ADORABLE House and a co-ordinating Home sentiment drawn by the talented Tanis! I love this sweet house! It was alot of fun to paper-piece and the sentiment is equally fun!

I created that fun button embellishment after I saw the ones Mish made, aren't they fun??? I love it! Perfect way to use up ribbon scraps:) On this card, stamps I used are House and Home sentiment from the May KOM, the bird from the June 2008 KOM "Bliss and a Birdie", and the Tea Time Pattern background.

**EDITED: That bird is from the June 2008, not June 2009 KOM, SORRY!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Kyra for pointing that out;)**
