It's October 1st and you know what that means...

...a new kit of the month for Unity Stamp Co!!!
Yeehaw!!!

Do you see how many adorable images this kit has? So much fun!!! And that incentive kit...Crazy for Daisies (shown at the bottom!) I am in LOVE!!!

When it came time to sit down and play with this kit last night, I was feeling really graphic so I went with B&W with pops of color. It makes for super fast cards with a great visual punch!

Supplies Used:
*Unity Stamp Co. Oct kom
*SEI Black Orchid papers
*Fiskars border punch
*Marvy Uchida circle punch
*watercolor pencils
*corner rounder

Supplies Used:
*Unity Stamp Co. Oct kom
*SEI Black Orchid papers
*large black brads
*Nestabilities labels 5
*watercolor pencils

It's another football Thursday for us and it is rainy... the trend has been that we have been good in the rain so I am taking this as a good sign (and so far, no one has caught pneumonia from standing out in the rain for 2 hours so we are good!)
