Just Me

Welcome everyone to another hip hopping Thursday! This is the final stop of your hip hop for the day and I’m sure you must have gotten tons of inspiration from the amazing, fabulous DT girls at Unity.

For this week’s hip hop, I created 2 cards and a gift tag with some of the new Unity releases for the Christmas season. I’m no card-maker but I really wanted to show off these cute stamps.

The first is a card using Stocking of Elegance… a rather cutesy and colorful card.

Next is a card using Prince of Peace. I love this stamp! Also on this card are lovely rub-ons (snowflakes and title) by Tinkering Ink. They were too kind to sponsor us with some wonderful products.

And the last is a REALLY simple gift tag I did in like 2 mins using Unity’s Trinity Trio.

Both Stocking of Elegance and Trinity Trio are being released today, so head on over to Unity’s blog to find out what amazing deals are in store for you today. I heard there are some $2 stamps just for today, UNBELIEVABLE!!! Also, don’t forget to join the girls at the Hip Hop forum thread for more fun and giveaways.

This is also my last hip hop with Unity as Guest Designer and I just want to say….

THANK YOU UNITY for this awesome opportunity. I had TONS of FUN!!! The team is awesome and all the girls are the sweetest!!

So as a little goodbye ‘gift’, I have some blog candy to giveaway.

I LOVE this kit from Unity – Amazing Me! The large stamps are just perfect for scrapbooking and the sentiments are too fun! Here’s a layout I’d created some time back with this kit…

So leave a comment in this post and I’ll pick a random winner at 6pm (Central Time) today to win that ‘amazing’ kit!! Winner will be announced at the Hip Hop thread. Keep a look out!!

Have a great day and oh, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

is a rainy day here. Rather dark and gloomy. And the weather’s gonna get colder towards the end of this week with temperatures going below zero. But there was something that brightened my day, this…

YES!! I am so excited to be part of the Riff Raff team from next month onwards. I gasped when I saw the number of designs and sheer size of some of Riff Raff’s laser-cut chipboard. I’m SURE they’re gonna be loads of fun to play with. THANK YOU Kara and Ben for this awesome opportunity!

It just gives one such a sense of joy and ability to express one’s feelings. Here are 2 layouts I did today…

YAY!! I’m excited. I just signed up for an online class with Elsie Flannigan.

It’s a 6 week project class and hopefully I can get to make some Christmas presents this year. And with the cold coming, I think I need to find more stay-home activities.

It’s a big month at Inspired Blueprints. A couple of us girls just launched this challenge blog in October and the response has been overwhelming. We have a couple of sketch challenges and prizes to be won and the deadline is 31 Oct. We even have our own ONLINE GALLERY now. Yipppeeee!!!!

Here’s my layout for the Bonus Sketch challenge sponsored by our lovely sponsor Blueye Dezines. Really fun playing with their products.

Thanks Heather for your suggestion. Please leave your email address here if you’d like to receive email updates to my blog.

I can’t believe how quickly time flies, it’s week 4 of Hip Hop for me and just one more to go before I say ‘goodbye’.   I feel sad just thinking about it because of all the fun I’ve had. Anyway, enough of the soppy stuff and on to this week’s Hip Hop… make sure you started out at Unity’s blog. Angela will be releasing new stamps as well as great deals today, you wouldn’t want to miss. Here are today’s new releases…

And a big welcome if you’ve hopped over from AJ’s blog. I’m sure you’re super inspired by her creations. Here’s what I created for today…

A really simple layout with the title stamped and embossed using the “Believe” stamp from Unity. It’s a big stamp, 6 inches wide and perfect for those scrapbooking titles. I hope you like the layout.

Now, it’s time to hop on over to Jen’s to see what she has up for you. That girl churns out some rawking layouts!!   HAPPY HIP HOP!!!!

I’ve just posted new Flickr groups for 2 of my favourite brands – Sassafras Lass & Unity Stamp Co. They’re open groups so everyone is welcome.
