HHH-post #2 (scroll down to see the Stamp Something Challenge)

What's HHH you ask? Any Guesses? Yeah, yeah, you know it if you've been here before on a Friday. It's Hip Hop Hangover day and it was created for all of us who can't get enough Unity! Thursday's, the Unity DT holds their blog hop and Friday's the dedicated Unity addicts, um, I mean customers get a chance to post their Unity creations. Any one can join the blog hop, you just need to link your blog to the thread in the Unity Hip Hop Forum (you can go there for the list of participants or to Angela's blog). I always try to play along in the Hip Hop Challenges and this is where I like to share them. Here are the two I did yesterday. This was a challenge to use a light blue on your card. Light blue just says BABY to me, so I made a baby boy card with these cute images from the November KOTM (kit of the month).
You can't really tell in this photo, but I used acetate on this card, that row of flowers in stamped in white stazon along the bottom of the acetate. This card just makes me happy! I even was inspired to do up the inside of the card. The inside sentiment comes from PTI, Year Round Puns. The next challenge was to use Unity stamps (of course) and create a matching envelope. I try to always stamp a coordinating envelope when I mail out a card, but I almost never share them here. It is usually a last minute detail I add just before I walk the card down to the mail box. Now I've got one ready to go. I'm trying hard to resist the beautiful stamp that was released yesterday. Did you see it? Did you see what the DT did with it? OMG, gorgeous stuff I tell ya! Anyway, I was inspired by the DT and used something I had that was similar and came up with this card. The colors are from PTI-Ripe Avocado, Melon Berry, and Springs Moss! I'm having fun with my buttons and sewing machine can ya tell? Been using them both a lot lately! Thanks for being here again, today. Be sure to see what the other HHH participants do. Hugs, Lisa
