It's a Hip-Hopping Kind of Day!!!

Happy Unity Hip-Hop Day!!!

If you haven't come here from Laura's inspirational blog, then you need to head over to Angela's Unity blog to start off on your blog hop journey.

I have a couple of projects to share with you today. This first one is a card that I made using one of the new releases for this week, US-542A Wee Forest Shanty (I love the name as well as the stamp!!!) The card was designed using Amber's card sketch for this week.

For this stamped image, I used my watercolor pencils for the coloring and then just added a bit of white glitter to give it that frosty look. I think that this stamp is so adorable!!!

Supplies Used:
*Unity Stamp Company Wee Forest Shanty
*watercolor pencils
*black StazOn inkpad
*K&Company paper and chipboard
*American Crafts ribbon
*brads

**************************************************

For my layout, I took one of the photos that I took of Kat from the weekend and blew it up to 5x7. The design of the layout is based upon the Inspired Blueprints Sketch #3.

Supplies Used:
*Unity Stamp Co. Butterfly Beauty Kit (this kit is only ONE PENNY today with a $100 order...WOW!)
*Unity Stamp Co. Mix Up of Cuteness (simply adorable sentiment)
*SEI Chocolat kit
*Martha Stewart border punch
*watercolor pencils
*Memories brown inkpad
*buttons
*scallop circle punch by Marvy Uchida

If you missed it yesterday, I posted a quick tutorial using these butterflies on how to use watercolor pencils. Just scroll down to yesterday's blog post.


Now you need to head on over to Jeanne's blog. I know that she will have some incredible gorgeousness to share with you...

PS...A really quick reminder that my 12 Days of Christmas Creating will start November 15th.
