Earlier this week, I got a Facebook message from Angela at Unity Stamp Company asking if I wanted to participate in a Unity Friends Blog Hop she was hosting. After I picked myself up on the floor and did a major "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAL!!!!" I said, YES! OMG, how ExCiTiNg and FuN is this!!
My first project is a card featuring Candy Hearts along with a sentiment from Hello Little One. The paper used is Carta Bella Devoted.
Next, I created a card that I hope I never have to send.....but unfortunately, it is part of life. I used SORRY love and prayers and some paper from Fancy Pants Country Boutique. I also used Tim Holtz Distress Paints and some UmWow Studios confetti hearts.
Thirdly (is that a word?), I used Everything More, to make a thank you card with some Bo Bunny papers. The flower is a Stamp of the Week, Each Moment is Success, with distress glitter.
And FINALLY, I made a canvas using a FABULOUS quote from Lasting Thoughts. The heart hands are UmWow Studios chipboard, and I used their circle mask on the background.
I love the "promise not to let go" part the best.
You still with me?!?!?! THIS part is super-iffic COOL! LEAVE a comment on my BLOG Post and you have a CHANCE to WIN a GRAB BAG of 20 STAMPS from Unity! :) Winners will be picked and ANNOUNCED on the Unity Blog and FACEBOOK PAGE on Tuesday Morning!
