It's GIU Thursday!

Doesn't time fly when you are having fun?

My share for Growing in Unity today are two mini bags that can hold gift cards:

I used my "Sweet Thoughts of Spring" set that you can find at Unity HERE.  I wanted some sparkle, and just had to pull out my Stickles, which I haven't had in my hand in a looong time!  

psssst....my photo's may be a little too dark, but I had to get the Stickles to shine on camera.

 I really love these little chevron bags!

Not sure about the 'green' bunny, but hey, we're all different right? =)
 And I really love these little chocolate bags that remind me of ding dongs (the swirl)!
I bought these bags from Kim's Endless Inkabilities on Etsy.

Add in: Thanks to Julie Odil @ Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers, I'm also including this in the
I didn't know there was a 'stickles' challenge blog!!!  Thanks Julie!

I appreciate that you came by today!
Don't forget to leave comments on this weeks' posts, and for every comment I will put you in the drawing on Saturday to win some Unity itty bitty stamps!

Have a beautiful day!
Jen

GIU for Tuesday~

So you know how you have a few camera cards...and all of a sudden you can't find any of them...you know where I'm going with this right?  Due to not having the ability to take a photo right now (yea, right now right now, this evening) for my Unity Stamp Co GIU Tuesday...I'm flashing back to a card that I really enjoyed making.



I looove this Unity stamp....Everlasting Romance!  I stamped it with black Staz-On ink on a TENseconds Studio periwinkle metal foil sheet. After it dried I decided to hand emboss (outline) the entire stamp with a stylus to give it some dimension.   Then I used my sanding block and sanded the top a little...to give it some interest.  Added some ribbon, and a sentiment and frame w/bird from a 'used to be ippity' set called Just Wanted to Say.  I love these colors together!

Thank you for coming by today, even with this being a flashback.  I'm so glad that I already have my Wednesday project picture done already! *wink*

Have a fantastic day and enjoy!
Jen
