All Things Unity Challenge # 36- Summertime Inspiration

It's time for another challenge for All Things Unity.  This week's challenge is to make a card or project using Summer as your inspiration. It shouldn't be too hard since it's a BAZILLION degrees outside!  Yikes! You can't mistake this weekend for Spring or Fall, that's for sure. Summer is here in full force.

 Summer is time for flip flops, picnics, boating, beaches and the pool!  Watermelon, fresh corn and veggies from the garden and barbecues!  Yep- I LOVE Summer and it's great for inspiring projects. Here is my project below using Unity's stamps set Watermelon Gazpacho Soup and the coordinating paper from Jillibean Soup!
This month's sponsor is The Twinery.  The winner will get the sampler pack shown below.  It's a really great prize!  I used Lemon Drop and Pea Pod on my card above.  The sampler pack has a color for every project.
 If you didn't play along on the last challenge, don't fret- you can still play this week's challenge (you have 2 weeks) for a chance to win the prize!  Be sure to check out the All Things Unity Blog for all the details. I can't wait to see what you make!

All Things Unity Challenge #35- Wrap It Up with The Twinery

Surprise! I am one of the Guest Designers for All Things Unity for July! It's very exciting as Unity Stamp Co is one of my favorite companies so this challenge is so much fun!  If you are not familiar with the All Things Unity Challenge - it's a bi-weekly challenge where you use your Unity or Ippity stamps (you know you have some...) This week's Challenge is to to "Wrap It Up" using Twin or Ribbon on your card or project.  You have until July 23rd at Midnight to play.  Check out the All Things Unity Blog for all the details and more inspiration from the Design Team.

And the sponsor for this challenge is The Twinery! If you choose to play along this week, you can win a Sampler Pack from The Twinery. 

Don't you want it?  I know you do....it's enough to make you giddy with delight- I can tell you from personal experience. I got mine in the mail and just about went nuts! It's like Heaven! It's almost embarrassing how silly I got when I opened my package....you will love it, I promise!
Here's my card featuring Unity's Pirate Madness and Twinery twine Charcoal and Caribbean (both are in the sampler pack prize..) I made it for my friend Jimmi's husband's birthday..I swear it seems like yesterday he turned 30........but I guess that's what happens when you're having fun! Besides, all of us still look like we are 30.....it's true!

Thanks for stopping by today - I can't wait to see what you create!  Good Luck! (you really want to win this prize, I promise!!)
