Unity Blog Hop 10.08.15!!

HAPPY Thursday Hop lovelies!

Today I’m sharing a tag I put together using a couple of Unity’s Kits of the Month.

The focal image of the couple is from the January 2015 Kit of the Month, Magic of Beginnings.

Both of the sentiments are from this month’s NEW Kit of the Month,
Beauty Comes from Being Yourself.

I love to mix images from different kits of the month. For me, I never know when or how inspiration is going to hit, so having these kits on hand and being able to mix them gives me great pleasure and makes it easy to put a project together when inspiration hits.

The inspiration for this tag came in part from seeing the sentiments from the NEW kit of the month. I couldn’t wait to use them. The weather, (or lack thereof), was the other part of the inspiration. I live in California and as everyone knows, we’ve been living in a drought forever. I’m a rain LOVER. Rain makes me feel good, comfortable, and well, romantic. Romantic is definitely a feeling I get when I see the couple’s image from the January Kit of the Month. I LOVE THIS IMAGE!! In a quest for rain sprinkled with romance, the tag was put together pretty quickly, especially with the newsprint-looking background and the vibrant paper piecing I added to the couple. When I look at it, the tag reminds me of a romance novel. Great. Now I NEED chocolate . . . and rain.

NOW . . . on to the good stuff!!

Tonight, I’m sharing a 5-x-7-inch canvas I put together using a new set by Angie Blom called, “Rebuild Yourself”.

Don’t you just want to HUG her?! I do. Sometimes all I need is a hug and some direction, ya know? Here’s a peek at the kit with the sentiments that come with the kit.

The next share is a holiday-themed scrapbook layout I did of my kids from last year. I used the NEW-est sentiment kit by Lisa Arana called, “Believe in the Magic” Sentiment Kit.

Here’s a peek at that kit along with ALL the sentiments that come with the kit.

Here’s a little card I put together using a new set by Lisa Arana. Don’t you just LOVE them! Wait till you see the inside sentiment.

Here’s the inside with the BEST sentiment ever!

I’ve told my children this same thing over the years. The kit is called “Christmas Brief Kit”.  Here’s a peek at the kit.

For my sample above, I “masked” off the candy canes and Christmas trees that are on the underwear digitally and paper-pieced them using a digital kit from Simple Stories called December Documented. To do this digitally, you stamp the image onto white paper or cardstock, scan them into your computer, and use an eraser in a photo editing program, like Photoshop Elements, to clear the image. If you don’t want to be digital about this and stamp organically, I’m sure you could mask off the stamp with masking tape, ink it, and then stamp and paper-piece, etc. Personally, I love technology and I’m going to use it.

Here’s a peek at some Christmas tags I made recently using the Kit of the Month, Our Hearts to  Yours.
