First HOP of April

WOW!, it's April already.  Can't  believe how fast this year is going.

Speaking of time flying, that's the theme of today's card using the new April Layers of Life kit. 

Remember there are FOUR special Unity subsciptions - Kit of the Month (always an awesome selection of stamps for every purpose imaginable), SMAK (scrapbooking, mixed media, altered art kit), Layers of Life (art stamps), and Stamp of the Week (something special in your mail box every week).  Visit the Unity site here to check all of these great deals.

Here is the April Layers of Life Kit and then my card.








































Next is a card I made following the sketch and colors for this month's Unity {be inspired} challenge.  You still have one week to get your entry linked up and win those fabulous prizes.  Who wouldn't want 3 kits and 10 itty bittys of your choice?





























































So hopefully you've arrived from Karen's blog and you'll be traveling along to Laurel's blog.  Just use our cool new linky tool at the bottom of this post (click on Laurel's sweet picture) and after you've finished hoppin', remember to go shoppin'.

This weekend's sale is awesome - time to stock up on everything you've been wanting.















Don't forget to leave a comment on each blog in the hop today (including the Unity blog) for your chance to win a super-sweet prize.

    I love your butterfly card and the crackle background, and where did you get that paper that matches the challenge perfectly? If I had that I might have time to join in.
