Happy New Years! and It's another hip hoppin' Thursday!

Happy New Years to you all!

I am so HAPPY that you've made your way over to my blog this year already!

Sorry for the absence since Christmas...

It was a hectic December for me, and think I needed a bit of time off :)

I feel so much more refreshed and my new papers and supplies are calling out my name... 

SO...

It's time to get back in business! 

I'm back in full creativity mode, and today,

is another HIP HOP THURSDAY!!!!

(If you have noticed, Carisa is our newest design team member, 

and it's her first Hip Hop Thursday post! 

So let her know how awesome she is and how it's exciting to have her on a Unity team!)

Today's all about PHYLLIS HARRIS.

She makes the cutest children's illustrations, and the stamps are so fun to color!

If you haven't seen the new releases yet,
(there's FOUR of them -
Beauty All Around You
I Wanna Hold Your Hand
I Will Give You My HEART
and
Easier with YOU by my Side 

See how cute it is?

As much as I love her art, I get so nervous, 'cause it's got to be colored!

I'm more of a paper piercer kinda girl.

Alright - we're not done yet...

I have two more cards to share with you - 

 one being this week's Stamp of the Week! It's sooo cute, fun and girly!

...and here's what I came up with!
Not the most flattering papers to use here,
(and for some reason - I've had the same problem in the past when I used these papers -
 I CANNOT get a clear shot...)
but thought that the idea was cute :)

 I was quite proud of using a pipe cleaner for the mascara :)

The last card (my favorite) is a card that I made from this month' KOM. 

Have you seen that yet? 

It's amazing! 

It's all to do with LOVE - 

so perfect for that special day coming up! 

I know I'm gonna be totally putting that set to use this month!

I stamped the electrocardiogram onto a transparency paper, 

and then backed it with a graph paper from Echo Park Note to Self papers.

 I even had a stethoscope to use as a prop!

That cute heart you see is a button that I made using Epiphany Crafts heart tool.

Alrighty - that the end folks.

Hope that you liked my projects today, 

and that you were inspired from the hop.

Make sure to leave some love on EACH of the blogs for your chance to win 

one of THREE $20 gift certificates to Unity!

I'll send ya back to the Unity blog - if you wanna let Angela know how much you've enjoyed this hop
