Growing in Unity Day 1

Good morning!  Wow, it feels like forever since I have blogged..... I just checked and my last entry was last October.  Thankfully, it hasn't been that long since I've gotten crafty, I just haven't been taking pictures and posting them.  But what better way to kick start my blogging again then by participating in Unity Stamp Company's 'Growing in Unity'.  Each day this week, I will post a project using Unity stamps, and then at the end of the week, I get to pick one lucky winner from everyone who comments to win two free Itty Bitty stamps of their choice from Unity.  Pretty sweet deal!  So let's get started.  When I sat down to create my projects for this week, the January Kit of the Month, Be your own kind of Beautiful, was sitting on my desk, so I thought it may be fun to make all my projects from this kit to show how versatile it can be.  I always love the look of white on kraft, so I stamped the background image of flowers and text on white and embossed it.  I added some pale green card stock and ribbon for some subtle contrast.  Leaving it with no sentiment will make it a very versatile card.  Hope you like it.



Make sure you leave a comment everyday this win for your chance to win two free Itty Bitty stamps from Unity Stamp Company, and be sure to check out their current sale.

See you tomorrow,
Michele
