Unity Stamps Friends with Flair Friday

Happy Friday All!  If you're visiting from the Unity blog ... thanks for stopping by :)

I've only recently started playing with Copic markers and am thoroughly enjoying them.

My card this week uses the "My Sunshine" Itty Bitty.  You're also getting a peek at the August kit for Up The Street Scrapbooking ;)

As a novic Copic user, my shading needs a little more work, but I'm pleased at how it has been coming along.  My favorite bit of this card is how the "sunshine" shading came out using yellow and orange copic markers.

I also added a bit of Glossy Accents to the title letters, the hearts, the sun rays and the border.

Supplies used:

Stamps ... My Sunshine Itty Bitty

Patterned Paper ... We R Memory Keepers Travel Light All Aboard

Cardstock ... Bazzill Kraft & Copic Illustration Paper

Ink ... Memento Tuxedo Black

Copic Markers ... BG10, BG70, BG72, R24, YR68, Y15

Die ... Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities Labels 1

Other ... twine, Creative Imaginations Real Wood Thin Birch, Ranger Glossy Accents

The other item I wanted to share today was the method I use for organizing my Unity stamps.

I recently moved them all to 3 ring binders using Stamp 'n Store panels.  While I was pleased with the storage, it was difficult to know what was where.

So I made a wee book :)

 I little cover page using one of my recently aquired stamps ...

 For the sets that came in the Unity cardboard packaging, I simply cut the packaging down to roughly 5 1/2 inches by 4 3/4 inches. 

The rest of the album is done in 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 sheets of kraft cardstock. 

Itty Bitties ...

 Random singles ...

 Monthly kits ...

This system has made it so much easier to see what I have.  The sheets are simply done in the same order as the storage sheets in the binder.
