I'd hang out with you everyday! (BLOG CANDY!! WOO HOO)

Welcome everyone!  Today starts my Growing in Unity (GIU) Week of Unity Stamp Cards.  I am super excited to show you their huge array of stunning stamps.  There will be prizes this week, two commentors will be chosen to get gift certificates directly from Unity Stamps!  ALSO two more winners will be chosen by me to get a Unity stamp set (already purchased, so it will be mailed directly to you from me). The winners will be announced shortly after the week is over, so watch on Mon/Tues following the week as I have to turn in my winner's names to Unity stamps before announcing them!

This fun stamp is called Sloth Endearments and he's just TOO cute.  I love this stamp and the sentiments that come with him.  I made this CAS card where I think he really POPs right off the card.  You can find him on the Unity Stamp website HERE.

Come back each day this week and leave a comment for a chance to win one of four prizes!

Cheers, Holley


Did you see my Introduction from Unity Stamps?  Here it is:

Hi!  My name is Holley.  I am a HUGE crafting fan who's came across card making 23 years ago when I went into a little scrapbook store in the city of Austin, TX.  Man, was I hooked after that!  Who knew one tiny brass stencil set would bloom into a such a fun hobby?  I started my blog for stamping 13 years ago and I post a new creation everyday.  Wow is it fun to look back and see how I have changed and what I have learned. 

 I currently have the pleasure of working at my local Elementary School as a Special Needs Paraprofessional for the Deaf-and-Hard of Hearing Department.  I'm a former Electrical Engineer who worked for huge companies like Dell, NASA, US Military and I had to stop all that to have two brain surgeries.  Post successful surgery, I told my hubby I just wanted to craft and do art.  Every February I have a HUGE surgery anniversary celebration on my blog where I give away prizes to everyone for an entire month! 

I am a HUGE Unity stamp fan, I so adore all their amazing artists.  Their quality is top notch and they have the best variety.  I can't wait for you to see my creations this week.  In addition to the two prizes from Unity Stamps, I am also giving away two stamp sets so check out the blog each day and leave a comment

 Cheers, Holley


 p.s. that photo is at a scrapbook convention, I am standing with my mother and my dearest God Mother whom I hadn't seen in over 3 years.  I am grinning ear to ear!

Woot, woot! Congratulations, Holley! I was a GIU girl back in March and it was such a fun week! I love Unity Stamps too! Your sloth is adorable! I love the torn edge circle - thank you for reminding me about paper tearing as it's one of my favourite techniques! This is a busy week for me but I will plan to come back each day to see your cards!

I love the paper tearing. I haven't thought about doing it in that way. Great job on the coloring. Can't wait to check back in tomorrow.

I committed and it came up anonymous, so I'm trying again. Love the paper tearing. Never tried it on cards. The little sloth is adorable. Thinks for the inspiration!
