Unity March HOP

WOW!   The end of March already.  Let's move on to April with warmer weather.  That's just what I have for you today with 2 new cards giving you an early sneak peak of the April KOTM.  Both of these are "bird-themed" and just in time for some spring inspiration.

First up, this adorable little bird and sentiment.

Next, what says spring more than a nest full of eggs just waiting to greet the world?

I hope I've made you curious to see the April KOTM.  You'll have to wait to Friday to see the entire kit.  (OR if it's now Friday or later, I will have added the link to it HERE.)

Remember to visit each blog in the HOP and you'll have a chance to win one of 2 awesome Unity prize packages.

 

 

All you need to do is click on each of the sweet faces shown below (and the Unity blog too).  Don't forget, after you HOP...go SHOP!

 

 

 

It's SPRING - time to HOP!

 

OMGosh!  Just pinch me!

Can't believe I was selected to be a part of the Unity design team AND to work with this wonderful group of ladies AND I get to promote my favorite stamp company - Unity!  So, I volunteered to jump right into the fire and take part in this week's hop.  You should have arrived here from Kassi's blog.  If you didn't, you should go to the Unity blog to start and do the entire hop.  WHY?  Because there is a chance for an awesome prize if you comment on each and every participating blog (don't forget to include the Unity blog).

In addition to a chance to win by hopping with us, you know what Thursday is (besides the first day of spring)...the start of another great sale weekend (ALWAYS 5-day weekends!!!) at Unity.

First up today, I'm sharing two cards using the March Kit of the Month.  I have been a subscriber for over two years now and I'm telling you that this is one of the best deals around.  To have 20+ high-quality stamps delivered right to your front door (does the post office still do that?) is heaven.  It's easy to sign up for any of Unity's subscriptions (KOTM, Smack Kit, Layers of Life, or Stamp of the Week)...just click here and look for your choice using the tabs at the top.

 

 

Next a card featuring what you can get for FREE when shopping this weekend.  This new little itty bitty (a $6.99 value) can be had for nothin' if you spend just $15 (before shipping and discounts).

 

Last is one of Unity's new fun PUN stamps.  You get a ton of PUN fun for just a little bit of dough.

So that's it for me today.

REMEMBER there are TWO amazing Unity filled prize packages being given away. Leave a 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 to recap...1) spring clearance markdowns, 2) free brand new itty bitty with $15 purchase, and 3) new pun kits and itty bittys.  Finish the hop and then go shop!

Now, head on over to Rachel's blog to see her awesome Unity inspiration.

 

 

Be Thankful

OMGosh! - two posts in one day.  I've wanted to play along with the Unity color challenge for this month all week but my mojo just wasn't cooperating.  I FINALLY figured something out and came up with this card.

I made the square card from ivory cardstock and die-cut a window from the front.  I then die-cut two frames and adhered them.  The leaves and scarecrow are from the August KOTM. They are colored with Prismacolor pencils, trimmed closed and adhered to the front of the card (leaves with glue dots and the scarecrow with foam tape).

I then adhered a piece of patterned paper to the inside of the card and stamped the sentiment (from the Donna Downey for Unity Advent set).  I fully recommend buying this set.  There are 25 little sentiments and/or definitions that have so many uses (along with the big numbers - it as after all, an Advent set).  Hope you enjoy!

Thoughts and Prayers

Made this card for a wonderful guy I worked with for over ten years.  His Grandparents were killed a week ago and he was the one to find them.  It’s a sad, sad story as the suspects are other family members.  I feel so bad for him.  Simple watercolor with the bird image from the Unity June KOTM and a sentiment from Unity also ...all About HOPE.
