A few things happening today -

1. NEW Sentiment kit

2. NEW Unity {be inspired} challenge

3. NEW Snow Peeps (4 sets!)

4. ... and of course SALE (and $1 from each sale goes to Phillipines)

So...

... I AM WOMAN.

(Yes, I know that!)

...and I'm a strong woman.

I was so inspired by these fabulous quotes Erin had made -

(oooh, Erin just gave birth last week to a precious boy - 

and apparently he's a mama's boy already!

Congrats girl!)

... and made FOUR things from this kit to share today!

This kit is on sale for $12 for the month,

and then it goes up to $26 - 

so get yours now!

My first card I'm about to share with ya, I must say, is my favorite!

I was inspired straight from the movie -

'You've always had the power my dear,

You just had to learn it for yourself.'

- Glinda, Wizard of Oz

I found THE PERFECT LEG/SHOE CARD...

and it's actually a witch leg one, but hey - 

totally worked!

Hope you like this as much as I do!

The next up is a vintage wall hang...

Thought that it would be a neat twist to have a brick paper as a CAMEO background.

Subtle, but think it works!

Moving along to the next one - 

another one of my faves!

Here's to strong women.

May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them.

... and I think that these SILHOUETTES just speaks for itself!

I added a couple of little Maya Road flowers to give it dimension and focus.

Lastly but not least...

I made a card to go with the new {be inspired} challenge.

Be inspired by these color palettes!

Be inspired by these sketches!

It can be either or both!

The only rule is to use Unity stamps!

So... here's my take on the challenge - 

both using the colors and the sketch!

I made this adorable SUPER BEAR - 

in the lovely inspiration colors!

I used Stars of Worn as a background, 

and embossed in Pewter to add in that color.

You can see I used some foam adhesive to bring out the pieces 

and it looks super cool in person!

So... one other BIG RELEASE is the SNOW PEEPS... 

and I unfortunately didn't have time to make them!

(but you will see a sample next on Renee's blog!)

...and lastly but not least - 

is the SALE!

Do you see?

You can help out those victims from the Phillippines tragedy - 

by shopping at Unity!

This is for a great cause and I hope that you'll help out!

Oooh, and don't forget to leave some love here..

this week's hop prize is...

June 2012 Kit of the Month

2 WINNERS!

Okay, think I've got everything!

I'm now sending you off to our talented Renee!
