Unity GIU Week - Day 1

 Hello friends and welcome to my GIU (Growing in Unity) week!  I am so excited to share my love of Unity Stamps with everyone!

My name is Jenni, I am a SAHMom to two teenagers!  My son will be starting his Senior year in HS and he's 17, my daughter will be starting her Freshman year in HS and she's 14.

I was introduced to Unity by a Scrapbooking friend at a crop too many years ago to remember and I was in love!

My first project is to showcase the Itty Bitty!  They are small in size but WOW do they have an impact!  Don't let the name fool you!  I will add some of my favorites below, but the first one I created specifically for you!  


I ink blended the background.  I had originally planned on just leaving her uncolored, but I just couldn't!  I stamped her on another piece of cardstock and colored her using my Tombow Art Markers.  Then I cut her out.  Nothing fancy, no watercolor or distressing, just straight coloring!  Added some twine and Gina Marie Designs acrylic dots in black.  Some foam adhesive tape and here she is!  This sentiment is one of my favorites!


Not Be Perfect

Here are some of my other favorite Itty Bitty's!!



(made this bookmark for my book club!)


Take a look at the collection of Itty Bitty's! I promise you will not be disappointed!

Please be sure to comment on my posts all week to be in the running for one of two Unity Stamp Co. gift credits valued at $20 each!

Thanks for the love and see you back here tomorrow! ;)
