Unity Blog Hop 06.18.15!!

It’s Thursday and we’re hopping with the Unity Stamp Company Design Team AND I have a couple of projects with videos to share with you.

Today I’m going to share a DIY project I did recently using this month’s Kit of the Month, “She Found Joy”.  One of the images really stood out to me--the French label with the bee as the focal image. I just really wanted to use it to adorn something I use, so I did--my old, beat up coffee table. Unfortunately, I got started on my project so fast that I didn’t get a “before” picture.

I hope the “after” picture will do.

Summer usually inspires me to do projects that require a little more time or effort, and I just couldn’t wait to get started with a NEW summer project. In fact, I jumped in with all I got.

Here’s the link to my SUPER quick video showing the process of how I accomplished this DIY project:

Unity Blog Hop 06.04.15!!

It’s Thursday and we’re hopping with Unity and new DT members, NEW releases, and an awesome SALE!

I’m going to share an 8-1/2-x-11-inch scrapbook layout I did Wednesday showcasing my youngest daughter, Gwen, who became a 12-year-old that day.

twelve tomorrow

Every year I try to get a picture of my children the day or night before their birthday, so that I have the very last picture of them at the age they are that day. I’m sentimental I guess--to say the least. This picture of Gwen was taken just before she went to sleep on Tuesday. She was still eleven but was very much looking forwarding to being twelve the very next day.

I used Unity’s NEW Butterfly Birthday Cupcake Itty-Bitty by Angie Blom which was perfect. I used the cupcake with butterfly as an embellishment and then repeated using the butterfly a couple more times as embellishments. The sentiment was perfect for “journaling” on the tag for the layout. It’s just how I felt.

I also included on the layout the sentiment from Brave Spirit Diamond Stripes {textured feelings}.

Unity Blog Hop 05.21.15!

It’s Thursday and we’re hopping with Unity—new releases and a SALE—Yippee!!

Here’s a canvas I made using the NEW Textured Feelings set (with an image from May’s SMAK).

create everyday

The sentiment and background are from the NEW set and the butterfly is from May’s SMAK. I repeatedly stamped and overlapped one of the Textured Feelings stamps to make one big background for this 5-x-7-inch canvas.

Now onto a recent scrapbook page I put together using two stamps from this month’s KOTM, “Spread Your Wings”.

love laughter and happily ever after

It was a super quick and easy scrapbook layout to put together. This selfie picture was taken by my daughter, Brandi, when she and her boyfriend were soaking up some rays at Venice Beach this past April. I used one stamp from the kit for the title and the other stamp from the kit to embellish the layout by coloring and layering the stamped flowers and using pop dots here and there for dimension and interest. You can’t tell by the picture, but I added some Wink of Stella to the stamped flowers for some magic.

My final share will be a card I put together using both of the NEW patriotic-themed ANGIEgirls being released. I just couldn’t decide which one to use, so I designed my card to use both images.

Here’s a peek at the front.

we salute you front

And here’s a peek when it’s opened.
