Growing in Unity, Day by Day, All Week Long Day #1

I'm such a ditz! This was supposed to post this morning, but leave it up to Ramsey to screw it up! :)

Ok.

Hello again! It's my turn to post for Unity ALL WEEK LONG! I'm excited. I just love Unity. The company, the stamps, the actual word - LOVE THEM! :) And guess what?! We started this little everyday-posting-Unity adventure at the end of October and we have people signed up clear into THIS OCTOBER! That's a full year of Unity on the blogs! Isn't it amazing!

So...Unity just celebrated their 1st birthday on May 1st and had TONS of stuff for Unity addicts to participate in and win! It was so fun. So I never got a chance to post some of the things I created for the challenges, and some of them, I didn't want to post. Except this one. I really did like the turn out.

I did this for the Hip Hop challenge. The challenge was to create a one layer card. I am no good at these usually, but was actually surprised by the outcome. I also had a friend that asked me to make some birthday party invites for her little girl's birthday, so these were perfect! She asked me to leave the other side blank and she would write what she wanted on there, so it's just blank on back! My FAVORITE part - the stamp. It's from Cupcakes a'la Yummy and is my MOST FAVORITE STAMP SET EVER! I {heart} the heck outta it! :)

Supplies Used:

Paper: Papertrey Ink Stamper's Select White

Ink: Memento, Copics

Stamps: Cupcakes a'la Yummy
Embellies: PTI Raspberry Fizz Swiss Dot Satin Ribbon

Tools: Circle Nesties, SU! Scallop Punch

**If you, or someone you know :), would like to sign up to post Unity on your blog for 5 days (Mon. - Fri.) please visit HERE and leave a reply.

Have a terrific Monday! See you all tomorrow!

•Growing in Unity•Day by Day•All Week Long•Day Three

Day tres, baby, yeah! *said in Austin Powers lingo* :D It's my 3rd day of Unity all week long! I'm having such a great time with this! Here is the card I made for today!
This card is inspired by the Unity's Challenge Wednesday. The challenge is an inspiration challenge. Here's the inspiration.

So I didn't really follow anything, other than I was inspired to use a butterfly. Isn't it so prettiful? It's from Unity's Growing in Unity set. So basically I just ran Red Bazzill CS through my Divine Swirls Cuttlebug embossing folder, but only on the top and bottom. Then I stamped the butterfly and the decoration behind it, with Archival Black ink. Then I glued that part to black CS. I added some ribbon that I got from my Bella sistah, LeAnne, and voila! It's done! Oh! I used the scalloped edge punch on the sides, too!

A couple of other things......ARE YOU COMING TO HIP HOP, TOMORROW? Hip Hop, in case you don't know, is the biggest event of the week! It takes place in the Unity forum on SCS and starts at 10:00 a.m. Central Time and goes until MIDNIGHT! Unity gives away over $300 worth of prizes! It is such a blast! There's a blog hop that starts at Angela's blog at 10:00 a.m. and tons and tons of fun! PLUS, if you are a BRAND NEW customer and order $25 or more, tomorrow, you get a Growing in Unity Tree stamp! Here's an example of what the stamp looks like! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?! Angela is amazing!

ETA: I forgot to tell you.....I GET TO GIVE AWAY A FREE SINGLE TOMORROW AT HIP HOP TO SOMEONE THAT HAS BEEN COMMENTING ON MY "GROWING IN UNITY" POSTS! BE SURE TO STOP BY TO SEE IF IT'S YOU!

Speaking of Angela and her blog.....be sure to check her blog out each week. She added an icon in the top left corner, showing the person that is showing Unity all week long on their blog.

So I hope everyone is having a GREAT Wednesday! Be sure to check back tomorrow for Day four and some HIP HOP creations.

**DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE COPIC GIVE AWAY! COMMENT ABOVE BY NOON (MDT) FRIDAY****

•Growing in Unity, Day by Day, All Week Long! Day Two

Happy Election Day! Did you vote, yet? I didn't! I left my wallet at my mom's house, with my i.d. tucked snugged inside and I haven't registered yet! UGH! I've been kicking myself all day long!

Onto more important things....today is Day 2 of my all week long Unity posting. Here's my card!
For this card I used Unity's Oct. KOM. Isn't this house so cozy looking? I used Amber's weekly sketch for the card. The base is Bamboo CS. I also used Orange CS and Clover Meadow. The image is stamped on PTI Stamper's Select White and colored with Copics. Speaking of Copics, have you entered to WIN 12 FREE COPICS? Do so in the post above although I'm sure you saw it before you did this one!

• Growing in Unity -day by day-ALL WEEK LONG! Day ONE!

So, for those of you that don't know, I started a sort of blog hop - I guess you can call it. Michelle challenged herself a couple weeks ago to post a Unity creation all week long. This gave me the idea to do it myself, but have other join in doing so. So I am starting this week and next week I will pass it on, to one of my Unity peeps and the next week they pass the torch to someone else, so on and so forth! Unity is going to be showcased on people's blogs, EVERYDAY, through March! Isn't that FANTASTIC! So here is my first day's card:


This card, I made for a special friend and Unity DT member, Amber. Amber had to have surgery on her ankle! This is for her!



For this card I used PTI Spring Moss CS and ribbon. The butterfly is from Unity's Sept. Kit of the Month. Did you know you can now get past KOMs? Check them out HERE. The sentiment is from October's KOM and is stamped in Spring Moss Palette Ink. The DP is also PTI. The butterfly is stamped in Archival Black onto Baby Pink CS. So there you have it! Stay tuned for another Unity card tomorrow. Also, on Thursday, during HIP HOP THURSDAY, I get to choose someone that has commented on my blog all week to receive a free single, of my choice. I'm not telling you which one, but let me just say, it's from Unity, therefore, you won't be disappointed! :) HAVE A GREAT MONDAY!
