Happy Unity Friday Friends With Flair!!
Hope you are enjoying your Unity Stamp Company followers blog hop.
Let's begin our morning with a nice, fortifying drinky-drink! Ah, c'mon! "It's 5 o'clock somewhere."
This is for The Pink Ninja's prompt "drink of choice". The thing I love about our prompts is there really is no deadline for entry. We're all about the inspiration and whenever it grabs you is OK by us! Just get 'er linked up because we want you to inspire us!!!
It's really hard to see on the full layout, but I've got the {good times} stamp from the October '08 KOTM on there in all it's sparkly glory. Truth be told, I got this kit FOR this stamp. L-O-V-E it!!
So, once again I had a blast splattering my layout. Got paint EVERYWHERE in my dining room, but that's OK. My kids thought it was a "good time". It's also really hard to see in the pics, but in addition to the paint splatters, the background is also misted with pearl Glimmer Mist and hit with a sprinkling of that gorgeous Martha Stewart glitter. (Can someone please tell me the best way to photograph glittery elements while maintaining the overall integrity of the picture??)
My background was inspired by this Basic Grey print ad for their Lime Rickey line:
I had such a "good time" (Ok, too far, huh? I'll stop.) staging my little Sapphire photo shoot. No other gin will do me. It's so luscious with some tonic (diet if you have it) and lime. Mm mm good!
And can I say I am lovin' Picnik?? They make it so easy to play with your photos. I used the neon option for this layout:
But played a bit before I chose it:
"Lomo-ish"
Orton-ish with Matte
Helga-ish
So much fun!!!

OK, enough with the tantalizing drinks...how about some Halloween fun??
My inspiration for this card is THIS ONE made by the fabulous Leah the Orange for Humble Pie Stamps. They are currently having a challenge (ending tonight, Friday 10/9, at midnight EST) to lift any of their DT's cards on THIS POST. I pretty much straight lifted Leah's card. But, remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right??!! If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I am sooooo happy with the way this card came out. I love Halloween with all its black and orange. Super fun!! And this little rag dollie from the September KOTM is just perfectly creepy enough (in a totally adorable way) for Halloween.
How cute are those heidi grace pumpkin and spiderweb rub ons?!!
I love the way the spiderweb stamp looks embossed. So creepy.
