Growing in Unity - Memorial Day

It is Memorial Day, a day for somber reflection about the heroes who have sacrificed everything for our country's freedom.  I am proud to be an American, even with all the work we have to do as a nation.

This is also the weekend for the Unity Memorial Day sale - lots of goodies over there so check it out!   The sale ends on May 31.  I am honored to be the Growing in Unity host this week.  Remember to leave comments this week on each post for your chance to win $20.00 at the Unity shop.

A little history - this is also my Stampversary.  I discovered stamping and Unity on Memorial Day Weekend of 2009 when my husband and stepson decided to go camping.  Once they were out of the house, I came across the OWH (Operation Write Home) blog and Memorial Day blog hop and found someone using Unity on one of the stops.  I raced over to the Unity site and placed my first order.  I do order a few things from other companies now and then but no company speaks to me like Unity. I love their stamps and amazing design team and, of course, the beautiful people of Unity. Angela is such a positive person and I love seeing Nic and Whit getting really involved in the business.  And the employees are the best - customer service is unmatched!  Of course, it all stems from their beautiful red rubber stamps.

It has been a while since I had a chance to make a card and I am a little rusty so bear with me.  Although these cards are not perfect, I sent them out anyway.  Everyone appreciates a card you made yourself!

As you can see, I am not the greatest at coloring, but I love these cacti.  Even I couldn't ruin this fabulous image from a past Kit of the Month. These kits are an amazing value and the images are huge!  I mean, look at this kit!  I had to stop my subscription because I have no more space to store them and refuse to part with any. You'll feel the same way - won't want to part with any!

I have some favorite artists at Unity - okay, well I love them all.  This is from a Graciellie set - I absolutely love her images - they are beautiful.

Again, not the best coloring but this image I stunning.  Here is the set it is from.  The "thanks" is from another set - these beautiful sentiments didn't fit on this card but I will be using them!

I hope you get some ideas from this post and I'll see you tomorrow!
