GIU Blog Hop

Hello.  Welcome.  Today I am excited to be the first stop on the Growing In Unity blog hop.  At the end of April I was GIU, showcasing Unity stamps, and I had the pleasure to give away two Unity grab bags to two lucky people.  Today some of the GIU ladies from the past few months are hopping and there are two more chances to win some Unity stamps.


All you need to do is hop along and leave a comment on each blog for a chance to win some lovely Unity rubber.

I made a CAS one layer card using this gorgeous image from Unity Stamps Free Your Dreams (KOM 5/17).  I stamped it on a blue card base using black archival, coloured the flowers with sharpies, added some white gel pen highlights to the vases and added the sentiment.  I covered the vases with crystal glaze.  

Thanks for dropping by.  The next stop on the hop is Teresa.  You can find the whole hop order on the Unity blog.  Have fun and good luck.  Hugz
