Inspired By Challenge Classy Desk

Inspired By Challenge
Classy Desk


The colors and the idea of a desk are what inspired me here. There is always a clock nearby when at a desk so I just went with that. Grasping here a little maybe. Lol.

Unity's SMAK kit- June 2017 has these amazing clocks and the sentiment in it. Crystal Minkler was kind enough to send me a stash of black and white paper. Isn't the paper with the clocks just adorable?!



Time is a fleeting thing... don't waste it watching tv; make an Inspired By card instead!

Inspired By Challenge

Inspired By Challenge - Back to School


(A Flair for Buttons) is hosting the giveaway for the challenge.


The chevron in the picture really spoke to me. I pulled many colors into my card and even some numbers found their way into the splatters. I used Unity's Apple of my EYE.

As a homeschooling family...it just never ends. But I'm OK with that. Sometimes we call summer vacations field trips. Lol.

August Friends of Unity Coffee/Tea Hop

Last month's winner: Brianna J. with her comment (Wow! I love that you showcased three separate & amazing cards with one stamp. Fantastic set and wonderful inspiration.) Please email me at jeaniehays00@yahoo.com with your mailing address so that I can send your Unity goodies.

Life Would SUCC Without You

Because I wouldn't be able to function ..... that's why life would SUCC without you. I love to smell you brewing in the morning. You pull me out of sleep, turn my brain back on (well, sometimes) and give me energy so that I can get stuff done faster. Without all that... My mornings would surely SUCC.

That is why my darling coffee friends this Uniquely Unity stamp was perfect to turn into a coffee cup; perfect to show my deep appreciation of strong coffee.


Succulents survive! They survive harsh desert climates; kind of like how coffee helps me survive the day.


Prismas on kraft with some Nuvo morning dew drops.


Unity Stamp/sentiment altered to a more appropriate SUCC as an abbreviation for succulent. I originally bought this to go with the vacuum stamp Unity has. But altered, it works for this.

I added the keys from Key To Joy in the background because coffee sure seems like a key part of my day!


No tag is complete without washi, a mess of ribbon, eyelash trim and twine! 

And there you have it... a succulent pot turned into a coffee cup because I love both!

I'm giving away a surprise coffee stamp this time around. Comment and be entered to win. Must claim prize within one month.
