Scrap the Boys May Challenge

Hi There Everyone,

Doesn't everyone like to get a little down and dirty sometimes?  Well this months challenge at Scrap the Boys is all about just that!!!  

This month the challenge is:


You need to use a photo of your boy(s) getting dirty, this could be anything from mud, paint, dirt, cooking, eating and so on...
I also want your photo to inspire your layout is some way.

Here is my layout:


Had loads of fun with this making the background messy.  I used lots of stamps on this layout and lots of running mist.





I used loads of Unity Stamp Co. stamps:
A Bit of Burlap
January SMAK Kit
Boys Rule
You Did It
Splatters and Stars - All Boy

There are so many things you can do with a stamp!

There is still time to get your entry into this months challenge.
Head on over to Scrap the Boys and give it a go!!

Thanks for stopping by!

I am a Unity Girl!!!

Hi there,

First things first, HAPPY NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY!!

Next BIG NEWS, I have been keeping a little secret. I AM A UNITY GIRL!!  Woot Woot.  I have been such a massive fan of Unity Stamp Company for such a long time. I think I harrassed Angela for months on when they might have their next design team call. 


I waited patiently, and then in late February she announced her first design team call
in a long time.

I thought I am going to apply and put it out there and wish upon a star and hope
my dreams come true.

AND THEY DID!

I am on the UNITY DESIGN TEAM!!!!!

Here is my first assignment:




This is Lucas each year over the last three years. 

We were given this amazing sketch from Angie Blom to play with as a salute to
National Scrapbooking Day.


I rotated this sketch just to do something a little different.

I used the following AWESOME stamps.


I used lots of stamps off this December SMAK Kit.  I have been a subscriber of the SMAK Kit for a long time and I love receiving these kits every month. 

I also used the numbers off this January SMAK Kit


and the Ruler for the journalling off February SMAK Kit.


AND FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER
THESE SMAK Kits are on Sale for $26
ends Midnight Sunday.

How cool is that?


So head on over to the Unity Stamp Co. website and grab yours now.

Also, another amazing opportunity:


This is your chance to become a guest designer and get $100 in FREE STAMPS!!
Just head to Splitcoast Stampers and give the sketch a go yourself!

It is a Dream come True for me to be on this team.
I look at all the talent and cannot believe I am a part of it!
But I am!!!

Thank you Angela for believing in me.
I will be forever grateful for the opportunity.
I hope I can make you proud.
