Wow I am so excited that it is my week for Growing In Unity!! :o)
Anyone that comes to my blog knows that I **LOVE** Unity Stamp Co! From the fabulous crew at the company, to the amazingly talented design team to the yummy delicious red rubber stamps all the way down to the crazy talented Unity artists and customers!!! :) I have made some of my best friends through Unity which to me is an incredible part!

Unity is going to be at CHA so if you are going(I am so jealous if you are!!) make sure to stop by the

I found Unity in October of last year. I have been in love ever since. I can't remember the last time I used stamps other than Unity! Especially now that I am a Kit of the Month Member! (if you don't know what the Kit of the Month is.. go check it out... tons of stamps every month for only 24 + 5 for shipping= best deal EVER!)

So for today I am going to show you a layout I made using my Unity stamps :)

And 2 close ups:


Journaling Close Up:



The Unity Stamps I used on this layout are Bar Tabs, No Regards where the journaling is, Worn Music behind the top of the photo and in the heart and circle embellishment, and the heart from You+Me=Happy.

Make sure you stop by every day through Thursday this week for a chance to win a Unity single of your choice! All you have to do is leave a comment(if you leave one every day you have more chances). :)
