Growing in Unity...Summertime Trees

Wow, has this week flown by or what?  Today is Unity's Hip Hop...have you see the AMAZING creations by the Design Team using Unity + Graphic45?!!!  You've got to see it all...visit the Unity blog for the DT hop...you won't be sorry!

Did you realize that for Growing in Unity this week, the random winner could pick any one of these stamps sets from Unity...Margarita Moments....or Which Direction....or Berry Good Life...or Grow Yourself Extraordinary...how awesome is that?!!!

For today's Growing in Unity, I have altered a pail.  It's for a friend's daughter, it's her birthday and I have some fun jewelry to place inside. I filled it up with white confetti for now, to try to prevent the glare from the camera. Since it's 'summertime', I thought I'd use my favorite Unity trees and papers from

Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety:

From Unity and {ippity} Projects

Here's the lid:

Here's the tag:

Here's a view of all angles of the pail:

I did a LOT of paper piecing on this and the paper strip was almost 14 inches long...the bottom 'chick's border' is from the Cosmo Cricket paper strips, I cut

grass into it and then adhered it to the paper pieced tree scene. Here's what it looked like before I put in inside the pail (just a quick observation from me...do the Hackle Berry Point Trees look like pickles?...heehee, I used some misc SU papers on those):

Stamps:  Unity Wood Slides: Oaky Doke Tree, Burberry Tree, Hackle Berry Point Tree, Shurberry Tree, Shade Tree; bird and 'sunshine' from Flirty Flower set

C/S: Cosmo Cricker Garden Variety papers and stickers; misc SU DSP

 
And one last thing for today...I HAVE AN EXTRA UNITY SET OF MY OWN TO GIVEAWAY...

Time for Travel:

I will pick a random winner for this set from TODAY'S comments and will announce the winner on Saturday!

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by my Growing in Unity today!  Have a sunshine of a day!
