My Final Day of Growing In Unity's Artist of the Week

On my final day of Growing In Unity, I wanted to share how I use this delicious red rubber in my art journal. Here is one example: I pulled out Lux Girl and set her in a wilderness of Your Season and Layers of Life musical trees ~ the Layers of Life “magic” sentiment, along with a PERFECT Life is a Dream sentiment, which I was lucky enough to acquire from a grab bag, rounded out this move into the new year!! Using rub-ons, stencils, Washi, sprays and pen-made scratch marks, my page was completed!! Thanks so much for your wonderfully encouraging comments all week ~ you’ve all been so very kind!

Growing In Unity - Day Four

Day Four of my Growing In Unity journey takes me down a completely different and amazingly fun path!! I pulled some of my favorite Angie Girls and Guys and put them on a 16”x6” craft board, that I mounted onto a canvas that I painted and decorated. Sawyer, Best Girls, Dallas, Forrest, Kara & Melissa are showcased on this piece with the floral from the Simplicity set in the background. With some fun stenciling and spraying, the piece was finished!! I hope you’re enjoying my GIU trip as much as I am!! Gosh, I love Unity so much!!

Growing In Unity - Day 3

My Growing In Unity Day 3 is all about mixing components from various kits. The beautiful girl from Moving Forward was popped over the Love Story background ~ the background was very lightly blended so as not to distract from just how pretty this Angie Girl really is!! Next, I chose to emboss a sentiment from Smile You Are Loved, which just seemed to make this into a “picture”, so I finished up by popping the frame from Possible, Not Easy to frame-up the girls. Picture Perfect!! Thanks again for following along on my week of fun!! Don’t forget to comment below for the chance to win something wonderful from Unity Stamp Company!!

Day Two - Growing In Unity

Day Two of my Growing In Unity week took me to the boring cover of one of my lettering journals ~ it needed a little sprucing up AND some sparkle in order for me to find it the least bit inspiring. Soooo…off to my Unity stash I went!! ❤️ I used the Layers of Life kit for the sentiment and Sunflower wishes for this gorgeous flower!! Using Kuretake glittery watercolors I painted the sunflower petals and then used a few acrylic colors in the center to add texture and just some fun details. Popping the INSPIRE sentiment over a “booboo” was a perfectly happy accident which turned out to work in my favor. (Now go back and see the smudge 😉) Now my journal is happy enough to pick up AND even carry along with me to use more regularly!! Thanks for following along ~ remember to comment below for the chance to win something wonderful from Unity Stamp Company!

Growing In Unity - Day One with Cora Girl!

Using a 6"x6" square card base, I had some fun layering the Alpine Wonderland background stamp, and blending a beautiful sky behind the tree line. I chose to stamp and fussy-cut Cora so she could be "popped" in the foreground. Colored up and added fun accents to finish up!
