Unity Sentimental Thursday!

Hey everyone!

Graduation and end of the school year...

Good byes, and beginnings of new venture...

It's all quite sentimental,

and Unity is getting SAPPY this weekend!

You should be arriving from Shemaine's blog (as always :) )

but here's a whole list for your reference.

We've got a special guest today (she won our last month' challenge) starting us with the hop,

so make sure that you swing by and leaving her some welcoming love!

Make sure to leave a comment here for your chance to win
one of three $20 gift cards to the Unity store!

Anyway, first up is the NEW June/July be-inspired Challenge!

...which means there's a new Sentiment Kit!

I love this one... probably my fave so far!

It's all about BIRTHDAYS!
Again, for a limited time, you can purchase this kit for $10 instead of $26!

...and with that, is new challenge layouts and colors!

Aren't the colors beautiful?

It's definitely a combination of colors that you don't come across often,

so I'm looking forward to your entries!

Anyway, here's my inspiration card!

The colors from Echo Parks' For the Record collection pretty much was perfect for this!

Oh, and I have a little project from the current stamp of the week which I forgot to share!

Isn't it such a cute stamp?

I decided to be a little adventurous and add some peanut texture on to it!

The front peanut was given dimension by foam tape underneath.

It added to the cuteness factor!

Alrighty - now onto my two fave cards I made for this hop,

both are newly released sentiments!

Totally loving all these sentiments -

the font and the layout of the quote is so well done and so fun to play!

When I saw this sentiment -

 I knew that it would be perfect one for my Carta Bella True Friends collection.

I had to add a little spinner onto this :)

...and my last card (is my fave!) comes from another sentiment kit!

This is the EASIEST card, 

and these cards are personally more stunning, I think :)

It's always so hard to keep it simple though -

as I love to add and add and add...

love clumping embellishments, 

and love layers.

This would be a perfect GUY card, too!

(My hubby loved this one!)

There's a Graduation Party Sale going on over at Unity this weekend, 

so make sure that you go check it out!

Alrighty - hope that you were inspired today 

and that it was worth it for you to spend a moment of your time visiting me today!

Have a WONDERFUL day!

Now, I'm sending you off to the wonderful Angie's blog!
