GROWING IN UNITY - DAY 1

Welcome to my Growing in Unity Week!!  I have been looking forward to this for months and I am glad you stopped by.  Just leave a comment at the end of my post each day (Monday through Friday) of this week for a chance to have your name drawn to win a $20 credit to Unity.  Two names will be drawn.

So, I recently heard Jennifer McGuire repeat yet again that red rubber is the best for stamping and gives the best impressions.  Thank goodness for Unity and their beautiful red rubber stamps!!!  We are the lucky ones who buy from this wonderful family business.

I have to say that the June Whit Kit totally caught my eye.  I saw the hydrangea theme and was smitten and placed my order.  I got it in the mail a few days later.  The paper pack especially blew me away!  The stamp set is great and the mica powders are very interesting.

And another thing about these stamps - Angela recently did a small post about the inks you need to use to get clear images from finely detailed rubber stamps.  I followed her advice and bought this ink and it worked beautifully.  Unity sells it but if they are out of stock you can find it anywhere.  I highly recommend!

If you missed the kit and only wanted that hydrangea stamp, you are in luck.  The June 2022 KOTM has a hydrangea that is the same size although it is a little different.  I had pulled it out because I wanted to paper piece the gorgeous dress in the kit with the hydrangea papers. This whole kit is amazing.

Here are some cards that I made with these two beautiful kits.  I absolutely love these kits and the papers are incredible.  So today I am sharing three cards I made with the June Whit-Kit paper pack and the dress from the June 2022 Kit of the Month.  I hope you like them and get some inspiration!  I also used some foil yardstick I had hanging around.  I am obsessed with it:-). Sorry for the images here - I bought a special white box to do these photos but when I transferred them to my computer, they don;t look too great.

A lot has happened since my last GIU week in November.  If you looked at the Facebook post, you'll see I have ovarian cancer and my PSA is that you need to get checked even if you've had a hysterectomy because those cells can hang around for 17 years before becoming stage 3.5.  Anyway, my prognosis is good and I am in a good place with good care.  Just wanted to share with other women that we need to stay up to date with medical appointments.  Please take care of yourself!

Remember to leave a comment for a chance to win a Unity $20 credit.

Have a wonderful day!!
