Growing in Unity - Day 5

Hi!

Wow! I can't believe my GIU week has come to an end. It went by so very fast! I would just like to give a little thanks to Unity Stamp Co. for giving me the opportunity to share my projects for an entire week with everyone. Unity is the best, from Angela and her awesome staff, to the quality of their product and the thousands of followers they have.

My style is rather plain and simple. Hopefully I have been able to inspire someone to create a project this week.

I was having a hard time trying to decide on my 5th project to share, but then my mom asked me if I would make her something and there it was! My mom and her lady friends get together every month for card club. My mom is the hostess for October and it is the week before Halloween. She asked if I would make her some cute score cards. She hasn't seen them yet, I'll be dropping them off this week. I am pretty certain that her score cards will be the talk of the game, lol.

Kit used:

Little Boos - Stamped with Stazon Black Ink, colored in with Chameleons and fussy cut

Paper - Card Stock Recollections, 

Design Paper - From my stash, thinking a DCWV Halloween stacks

Washi Tape - Martha Stewart

I would like to thank everyone who stopped by and left kind words. I greatly appreciate them.

Please don't forget to comment below. I'll be choosing 2 lucky winners for a fantastic Unity Prize Pack.

Growing in Unity - Day 4

Hello!

Welcome to Day 4 of me being a GIU Girl.

Today's project is all about Angie Blom and those fabulous Angie Girls/Guys she creates. I love all of them! To me they are like a grown up version of Paper Dolls.

We're celebrating today. I came up with this cute paper pieced card and little gift bag which is the perfect size for a gift card, a piece of jewelry, a little trinket or candy.

The kits I used:

Margaret Girl

Best of the Best for the sentiments

Colored with Chameleon Markers

Paper pieced skirt with a scrap piece of paper from my stash

Top and shoes colored with a Pentel Silver Gel Pen

Inked up with Stazon Black

Designer Papers - Echo Park

Gift Bag - I used my Cricut and the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cartridge

Please remember to comment below. I will choose 2 random winners at the end of the week for a lovely Unity Prize Pack.

Growing in Unity - Day 3

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Sharon and I am your GUI Girl for the week. I can't believe today is day 3! My week is flying right on by.

Today is about the military. I have had many, many family members and friends in the military, all branches. At one time 3 of my uncles, my mom's brothers were serving in the Marines at the same time during the Vietnam. My grandma had 2 of her sons come home, we were waiting for the 3rd. That year my Grandma said she would not take her Christmas tree down until her 3rd son was home safe. Grandma's Christmas tree stayed up until April, he came home. I was 3 years old.  This past spring my mom handed me a large manila envelope filled with letters written by her brothers and brother in law while they were in Vietnam. I stayed up all night reading those letters. 

If you have a friend or family member that has served or is currently serving, thank them. If you see a vet on the street, thank them. Thank them for the freedoms we have because if it weren't for them, we wouldn't have them.

Kits used:

Amber Girl

Charles Guy

Stamped with Black Stazon Ink

Card bases - Recollections

Washi tape - Recollections

Echo Park Paper

Colored with Chameleon and Spectrum Noir Markers

After I stamped the images I just stared at them for a very long time. I was stumped on how to color them. I went through my markers and picked those that I thought would go together to form a Camo Pattern and so be it. Sometimes I even surprise myself!

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you liked today's creations that I am sharing.

I will be choosing 2 winners at random for a nice prize package from Unity. For a chance at winning please comment below.
