Growing in Unity Week!!

 I am so excited to be the Unity Growing in Unity girl this week!! It's been a busy busy year and this week is probably the busiest! Last minute things, dance winter performance, college student coming home for winter break, high schooler getting ready for semester exams, Christmas projects need to be finished! Panic in full swing! LOL 

With that being said, most of us (hopefully) have all the Christmas cards and holiday craft projects either finished or in the final stages ready to be given! Once that's done and out of the way, my mind immediately turns to Birthday (Mom's birthday is January 14th, BFF birthday is January 8th) so there is little time to rest, not to mention the thank you cards! 

Today's post is all about the birthdays!! I occasionally make backgrounds for no specific purpose! Either to clean my brushes or to try a technique I've seen or to use up scraps! Let's make some Birthday cards!

I think I may have made this background in July after seeing Crystal's Technique Tuesday post about using two different background stamps together and lots of colors. This is the Wings and Petals Ledger background stamp from Unity using multiple colors kind of dabbed around the stamp randomly. Along with the Background of the Month from 12/22 called Criss Cross Grunge. I used the Scallops and Rectangle Nesting Dies to cut the main panel, then used the smaller two to cut the center out and then a piece of kraft (also from Unity). That panel was attached using foam tape! The sentiment is from ...extended celebration which is a sentiment kit from May 2022.  Jute twine is from may arts ribbon and the natural bakers twine is from BellaCreationz. Pearls are from Gina Marie Designs and the chipboard butterfly has been in my stash for quite a while! It's from UmWOWStudio.

Please don't forget to comment! At the end of my week, I will chose two commenters at random to receive a Unity store credit!
