Unity Blog Hop 07/30/15!!

Whew!! Did you see that? That was July flying by . . .

It’s Thursday and together we’re hopping with the Unity Stamp Company Design Team providing some inspiration, showing a couple of NEW stamp sets from Tifany DeGough, and Unity has another HOT sale!!

Here’s a peek at the NEW stamp sets, Little Ladies & Little Lads—SUPER cute!

Today I’m going to share a couple of projects I’ve done recently (using Unity’s Kit of the Month and Layers of Life Kit) with videos to show you some quick tips to help put your Unity projects together.

First up is a QUICK TIP video showing you how to create texture using masking tape. We probably all have this lying around the garage or in the office. It’s easy and fun to use.


Here’s a still picture of the tag I put together in the video.

sweet birthday wishes

Next up is an 8-1/2-x-11-inch scrapbook layout I put together showcasing a few pictures and journaling from our family’s trip to this year’s California State Fair in Sacramento, California. Around this time of year, we’re all visiting our county and state fairs. I think my favorite part of the fair is strolling the carnival area and holding my hubby’s hand while we watch our children take it all in. OH—and I love the deep fried moon pie!

I did a quick little video, so you can see how it came together. Please watch!


I used Unity’s Kit of the Month, Halo Dirty, to embellish the tag and the scrapbook layout. I promise you will have so much fun coloring or paper piecing the ice cream/cone. You can literally put that camera on anything scrap related and call it DONE! The zigzag ribbon is another staple embellishment to add to your rubber stamp arsenal that you can use over and over again.

I also used the background stamp in this month’s Layers of Life Kit, Devotion and Faith, on the tag above.

Unity Blog Hop 07.16.15!!

We’re hopping with the Unity Stamp Company Design Team showing off some NEW AngieGirl stamp sets. Unity is also putting together one HOT sale!! Be sure to LOOK!

Today I’m going to share a scrapbook layout I put together using a couple of sentiments from one of the NEW AngieGirl sets.

you are all kinds of wonderful

The above picture in the layout was captured at Evangeline’s Costume Mansion in Old Sacramento, California. It’s summer and we’ve been hitting the sites around here and there and everywhere. That’s my daughter, Gwendolen, who loves to wear costumes and props. She loves steampunk stuff and we just had a great time visiting Evangeline’s. We MUST return--especially around Halloweentime.

Here’s a peek at the set I used, SummerGirl.

I also used this month’s SMAK kit for some background stamping on the layout.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a mini album project on the Unity blog where I shared a little tip through a video I had put together making a travel-themed album highlighting our family's recent trip to Universal Studios Hollywood. I wanted to put together a quick album in project life style but without ALL the pockets, so I trimmed a few of the page protectors to make a mini album which was the perfect size for me.

Here are a few photos of the mini album in case you missed it.

Unity stamps are the PERFECT way to supplement your project life journaling cards and photos. I used quite a few SMAK kits for my album. Here's a list (with product links) of the SMAK kits I used for my pocket page mini vacation album:
