Growing In Unity Day 1


This is an AWESOME day! I've waited and waited for this day to get here... literally for months! I am giddy with excitement!

Why? Because this is my week as a Growing In Unity gal (GUI)! Monday through Friday this week here on my blog I'll have a post featuring a Unity stamp set. 

Come often - every day. Leave a comment! Because... and this is very important... someone who leaves a comment is going to win a PRIZE from Unity! Everyone loves prizes, right? Especially Unity Stamp prizes! So... comment!

Today's card features a gorgeous stamp set - Dream of Being (so loved) Oh my goodness... I love that image!





On the inside of my card I used a stamp from the Unity One Sip at a Time stamp set...


I start off the day with coffee and you on my mind.



Thank you for stopping by my blog today!

Beautiful card! I love that the inside has special details too. As a card maker I don’t think I concentrate enough on the inside of the card. I always have a sentiment, but you have inspired me to add some color and pattern.
