Unity FWF Blog Hop {Feb 11th}

Welcome to the Friends With Flair blog hop! Be sure to start at the Unity Blog so you don't miss any of the wonderful inspiration today's participants have prepared for you. Look for the FWF blinkie as you hop along and leave a comment on that blog for a chance to win 25 random Unity stamps!

I've been meaning to try this simple frame tutorial by Birgit Edblom for the longest time and finally came up with what I think is the perfect scene for it. This gave me the opportunity to ink up My Dear and use a sentiment from the Loolah Collection. While creating the frame, I stamped on the frame itself before adhering it in place. For the centre, I stamped the large rose in pink before stamping the cyclist and sentiment in navy. The lovely vines that are wrapped around the edges of the white frame is the same image stamped in white on the navy card base. I love this navy and pink combination and will certainly be using it again!

Ah, this is so Parisian...I can almost hear an accordion playing in the background (you know, you should totally add accordion music to your blog). Love the subtle look of the stamped rose and of the white stamped on the navy. Speaking of which, navy and pink? Hmmm...may have to try it!

As a sign of gratitude on how my son was saved from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) , i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
My son have been suffering from ADHD since the year 2016 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he always have difficulty with communication,and he always have problem paying attention . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and they left the contact of this doctor who have the herbal cure to ADHD. I never imagined ADHD has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my son will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my son used it and in one months time he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.ADHD has a cure and is a herbal cure,you can contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get this medication, Thanks.
