...at least in this format. The Unity crew is putting together a plan for all new fun. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us. But for today, we are going to enjoy this final hip hop!
Are you liking the sneaks of the new Sept KOM???
It's so darn cute, but we know that it could be nothing less!
Ben left for his five month (maybe longer) deployment so he was on my mind last night when I went to do my hip hop artwork for this week and this just came together....
I love that new little month stamp from the Sept kit...so much you can do with it. And hmmm, did I get some other kom stamps in this?!?
Supplies used:
*Unity Stamp Co. Sept kit- Go Ahead Wish
*Unity Stamp Co. Frame This Alpha
*Unity Stamp Co. Sending my Love (August kom incentive)
*Daisy D's papers
*Fiskars border punch
*corner rounder
*********
And here is just a shot from yesterday at the airport that just pulls at my heart, so I thought that you might want to see. We were very lucky in that they let Kat & I see him off at the gate...a very simple little blessing....
This an amazing LO - love how you used the stamps - and your photo at the bottom of your post - so touching! Hugs to you and your family and a big THANKS to Ben for all he does!
