New Arrival!

I was scheduled for a repeat c-section on 1-11-11 but my son had other ideas for when he wanted to come into this world. On 1-7 I went into labor while debating whether or not to go to a friends get together. Luckily we had multiple people to help us with our 2 year old since my mother in law wasn't set to arrive until 1-10.

So, on 1-7-11 at 11:23 PM, Dominic Vincenzo Hunyady was brought into the world. :)

One Little Word ~ January

This is my self portrait for January for the "Beginnings" page for One Little Word with Ali Edwards. I thought it was appropriate for a self portrait since the only thing I can think of or feel right now is super pregnant! Less than a week to go til we get to meet the little boy in my belly. I am very excited!

I hope the new year is finding you well and motivated!

One Little Word ~ January

This is my first page for "One Little Word". The quotation I found to go with my word is from Les Brown, "We must look for ways to be an active force in our own lives. We must take charge of our own destinies, design a life of substance and truly begin to live our dreams."

Here is to being ACTIVE in 2011.

One Little Word ~ Ali Edwards!

What are you wanting to change in this New Year? I really love Ali's idea of not making a resolution list, rather choosing a word to guide you and motivate you throughout the year. I'm so excited for this class done with Ali Edwards at bigpictureclasses.com. My word for 2011 is ACTIVE! I am looking forward to becoming more active after this pregnancy is over. I will have a 2yr old and a newborn, needless to say things will be more active naturally but I will be making an effort to be more healthy for my family and myself. This is my title page for the project....kind of matches my blog...lol. I will be working on the assignment for January today and hopefully will post another entry.

Happy New Year!

One Little Word ~ Ali Edwards!

If you are a fan of Ali Edwards, then you know she chooses one word for the year that she focuses on. 2010 was the year of "story". 2011 will be the year of "light". Usually she shares her journey with us via her website but she is now offering a class with Big Picture Classes! I am super excited and just signed up! I will share my experience with the class on this blog. Just a few more weeks til the class starts and I'll announce my word 1-1-11.

Unity's Friends With Flair Friday!

Hello Unity Friends! My current project is the December Daily inspired by Ali Edwards, check it out here. For my December Daily Album, I am using page protectors from scrapbook.com and I have about 6 different styles of these throughout the album. I decided to use the protectors because I live in Arizona and the dust is ridiculous, no mini album stands a chance of surviving without protection. These are a few 4 x 4 embellishments I made with Unity Stamps, they will find a home on a page protector of 9 4x4 squares.

The first is an Itty Bitty, "Find the Joy" and the next is from a previous Kit of the Month. I stamped the images and had some fun coloring with markers. My favorite thing right now is this random sparkle pen which I used on both embellishments on the lettering.

Don't forget to check out all the flair at http://theunitystampco.blogspot.com/. Also, Unity has a new website that rocks and a ton of new co-brand stamps! My favorites are from I.O.D., check them out here.

Enjoy the day and remember to get crafty!
