Happy Scrapbook Day!!! and check out my HAPPY ANNOUNCEMENT!

Okay, I've been waiting for this day for SOOO LONG! (If you are coming from a ***** blog, you already must know the 'announcement', but just pretend you didn't know - don't wreck the surprise for others!)

First of all - Happy National Scrapbook Day! How many of you are crafting out there? I know that there's many companies that are having challenges and sales, so hope that you all join in the fun!

I've made a layout (yup, it IS a LAYOUT!!).  For those of you that follow my work, you all know that I don't do that much layouts! But I thought that I'd get into the spirit of this day and contribute to it!

Anyway, so, you are CURIOUS about my ANNOUNCEMENT, aren't you?  or would you RATHER see my layout?  I don't know which you'd rather see, but I couldn't keep it in any longer, so I decided to make an annoucement as my layout.  Pretty clever of me, isn't it?  At least I thought so!

So... here goes!

Do you see?  So, you see?  I AM THE NEW UNITY GIRL!!! YAY!!!

I have been selected as one of six NEW very special ladies to join the Unity Stamp Company Design Team. The team is quite big and they are ALL super talented!!! I am just in awe with their creativity, and I am super blessed to be included in this team!  I have gotten to know the girls in the team a bit as well as some staff members that work at Unity, and they are all so welcoming and very fun! Just like how I'd imagined the Unity Stamp Company to be... the stamps are full of inspiring, positive sentiments and art, and reflects wonderfully on how they are as a company, too!

I used the {FABULOUS} line from Simple Stories (it IS FABULOUS!) and six different stamp sets from Unity to make this.

Here goes with my upclose pics!

DOCUMENTED.  Yes, I'm documenting this day.  It's my special day! :)

BANNERS:  Why wouldn't I put banners?  It's a celebration! I was tempted to put balloons and confetti, too! lol...


Photobucket

JOURNALING:  makes the layout so much more special :)   I never do scrapbook layouts as I never know what to write inside the journaling boxes.  But I love reading them.  I love the fact that you can write down your feelings, your thoughts, your reaction and your joy.

This is just a glimpse of the itty bitty's that I ordered back in December...  I love the packaging that it comes in!

I love the clumping of yummy looking embellishments! So fun!

... and of course, upclose of UNITY!

The stamps used in this layout are:
Sweet Paper Pals (Simple Stories Itty Bitty)


Boys Rule (Simple Stories Itty Bitty)


Monthly Circle (Simple Stories Itty Bitty)


year.o.graphy - best day (Simple Stories Itty Bitty)


Life Documented Banner (Simple Stories Itty Bitty)

So, this was a sketch that was designed by Angie Ibbott Blom (one of super duper talented Unity member - she creates fabulous art for stamps, too!) and here's your CHANCE to win some love Unity stamps ($100 value) and a chance to become a guest designer for the Unity blog in July!




You can use ANY Unity stamps, including ippity, and if you're not comfortable with making a layout, you can also do a card! It just has to follow this sketch! :)

You have until May 11th, 2012 to get your entries in, and the winner will be announced on the Unity blog on the 12th!

So....  for those of you that LOVE these stamps, you probably know about the AWESOME SALE already! If not, that's okay! If you don't have any Unity stamps, that's okay, too! Here's your chance to stock up this weekend!

 

You have to check out these stamps if you haven't been to their site! So amazing - all LOVE! and what's awesome about this?  If you purchase now, you'll get a coupon to use for the NEW RELEASE! (oooh, and they are YUMMY stamps! I'm seriously drooling over them!)

Okay, I think that's it! A little bit of a long post, but that's my news! Yay! I'm still head over heels over this - you should've seen me when I got the e-mail! and you know how HARD it was for me to keep this secret!

Head on over back to Unity Stamp Company to find out and to get to know all the rest of the DT members and see who the other lucky 5 new girls are :)

Oh, and I just wanted to thank everyone for your support over on my FB page - in case you haven't 'liked' my page, come see me here!  I JUST hit my 700 LIKES last night, so I'm super excited! I may have to do a little giveaway soon!
