January 2021Friends of Unity Blog Hop ~ Black & White


Hello, friends! Welcome to my January blog and welcome to 2021!

There is so much to be said regarding 2020 and our hopes for 2021. Let me just say; may this year bring you blessings beyond measure.

I love this months cue of Black & White. There is so much beauty in simplicity and b&w is the most beautiful of all.

My first card (and favorite of the 4) was made using the gorgeous swag and make you think senti from Start Anew. How appropriate. Maybe it should read, "last year was heavy, put it down". 




This next card is a beauty using the gorgeous window scene from Outside your Window. The senti is from the set Just Because.  This is one of those cards that is soooo much prettier in person!



This card uses the beautiful flowers and a happy birthday senti from the July 2020 Sentiment Kit called Aging Gorgeously. (The top panel die is from Gina Marie Designs called bit little chain.)


This final card uses on the gorgeous houses from Warm Wishes for you Home. This makes such a beautiful winter card.




I would love to know which card is your favorite!

I did not have good lighting today for theses photos. Poo!! They are so much prettier bright and white!

My hope is that you read through the entire blog. Makes my heart so happy thinking you do!

As always~

  3. Amazing and beautiful cards, Bobbie Sue! The sentiment on the first card is perfection! If I have to pick a fave... I'd say the last card. The cabins in the Warm Wishes for your Home stamps are my absolute favorite stamps right now and I love the card you created! Simply beautiful! Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration sweet friend!

  20. All four of these cards are beautiful, and we must have similar tastes, because I have all of these images too. I don't think I can pick a favorite, but I particularly love the embellishments on the Window card, and the way you just highlighted a few of the bricks. On the last card, I love the way you paired it with the plaid paper. Love all of them!

  27. I love all of your cards! I hate when the lighting isn't what you would like! I've had that happen to me. I am loving everyone's black and white creations! It is hard to pick a favorite but I think mine would be the last one, the house with winter scene!

  29. Sweet Ms. Bobbie Sue, gorgeous gorgeous cards! Each has their very own beautiful story... the welcoming warm Winter cottage, the fresh flowers of Spring, throwing open the windows to enjoy the clean Summer air, and the autumnal crisp beauty of Fall. Your black an white is brighter than rainbows! Stunning!
