Do you know what day today is?

It's the day that I 'THANK UNITY STAMP CO' for being such sweethearts and allowing the Growing in Unity hosts to give away one stamp set during their week!

So, it is the day to post my random WINNER for GROWING IN UNITY!

The winner gets a choice of one of these stamp sets:

Along for the Ride

or

Margarita Moments

or

Berry Good Life

 

or
Grow Yourself Extraordinary

So, I'm done with working today. 

I copied all my comments from this weeks Growing in Unity posts and

pasted them all out on an excel sheet. 

I printed them out. 

I cut strips of each comment. 

I put them in my blue empty box. 

I mixed them up and mixed them up and mixed them up and all around. 

I picked out one strip of paper. 

And the winner is...

Welcome to my Day 3 of Growing in Unity!

Tags, tags, and more tags...isn't this the time of year for tags? 

Well this week's Unity Addict's Challenge is 'tags'!

Go take a look at the Unity blog today for all the details to participate.

And, the current All Things Unity Challenge is 'tags'!

Go take a look at the All Things Unity blog for all the details to participate.

Can you guess what creation I'm sharing today?

Yes, you guessed it... A TAG!

For this project, I used this gorgeous background stamp from

the Unity December 2009 KOM 'delightful moments'.

I used the owls and sentiment from the Unity Hodge Podge stamp set. 

 I ink embossed, ink distressed, paper pieced, cut out, paper punched, popped up, Smooched, and ribboned (is this a word? heehe) on this tag:

Here's a close-up of the embossing and Smooch on the owls' eyes

(oooh, the close-up makes their eyes look creepy...kinda like zombies...eeek!):

So what do you think?

I think I might make more of these and send them to my sisters

who all live in a different State.

Oh....

will win 5 random Unity stamps?

That person is...

Day 2 of my Growing in Unity

First I'd like to show you a creation that I made...a 'Magic Card'!

Okay, so have you ever seen the tutorial that Beate has on SCS? 

You make a card with an image that is stamped in black with no color...

then, you pull up the card and the magic of color appears!

At first glance, there is no color on the tree image
(but I had to paste that cute little owl there).
The tree and sentiment are from Unity's KOM {delightful moments}, Dec 2009.

From Unity and {ippity} Projects

=================

Pulling up the card is revealing a polka dot background
and the paper pieced leaves
(the leaves show lots of color in person...and that Staz-on ink is really coming out dark on that acetate....hmmm, must be the photographer!heehee):

From Unity and {ippity} Projects

==================

Now the magic appears and there is color!
(Looks more colorful in person, trust me.)

From Unity and {ippity} Projects

================

So what do you think?  Have you ever made one of these?
You could also write a message on the blank space to appear when you pull up the card!

they are fun and her tutorial is step by step!

Okay, drum roll
for the winner of

{ippity} Kissmas & Mistletoe
