Unity Blog Hop 10.30.14!

YEP!! It’s THURSDAY and Unity’s got NEW releases—a SALE, a blog hop, and I’ve got a NEW video for you, too.

That’s my daughter, Gwen, and her very best friend, Jenna. I took this picture of them last week just before they headed off to their first Jr. High School Halloween Dance and I’ve been in the mood to scrap all week!

In my new video, I assemble the layout, using this sketch from Studio Calico (http://www.studiocalico.com/blog/2014/10/26/sunday-sketch-natalie) as inspiration. For the layout, I use the following two stamp sets from Unity Stamp Company.

TIP:  I use an ultrafine black sharpie pen in my Silhouette to help “sketch” the layout, so that I can lay down my picture and embellishments. In the video, you will get an idea of what I mean. This is an excellent tool to use as you won’t have to measure or worry if your placement is off when adhering your photos and embellishments, etc.

Using Suzi Blu’s Mademoiselle and Joslyn Nielson’s Be Spooky sets from Unity!
