Unity Hop

Happy Thursday everyone.  So glad you could join us for another huge hop with tons of new releases.

It is also time to start our December-January {be inspired} Challenge.  If you haven't played along before, you really should.  It is a great opportunity to win over $150 in Unity stamps.

In addition, the winner gets to hop along with the design team when the next month's challenge starts.  Please leave some extra-special love for Brenda Turner hopping along with us today.

I usually like to play along with either the card sketch or color challenge.  However, this month the sketch for a layout really jumped out at me, so I used it to create a 5x5 card.

My cards for you today took inspiration from both the color

combination and the card sketch.  These colors are just so elegant.

Hop-Along

 

It's Thursday and time to hop!

So much going on today, so let's get started.
 

Today is special because not only do we have some fabulous new
Susan Weckesser stamps, we're also hopping with her today.

Watch for the special mixed links below.

We have 2 super new kits from Susan releasing today.  Her little houses
are iconic and the Garden Gnome kit is so adorable.

 

In addition, we have a brand new Unity {be inspired} Challenge that begins today.

 

Both of my cards also use the June KOTM.

 

 

The first one also uses the fun sun rays from the June 2013 SMAK kit.

 

 

 

First up is the color challenge.  Aren't these the perfect summer colors?

 

 

 

My second card uses the new June sentiment kit from Lisa Arana...

...and the card sketch rotated 90 degrees.

 So, enough from me.  Continue through the hop and remember...
We have FOUR amazing Unity-filled prize packages to giveaway.

Comment on EACH blog in the hop (including the Unity blog) for your chance to win.
The winners will be announced Saturday night on the Unity blog.

AND of course, there's a fabulous sale going on this weekend.
Don't forget to shop.
