Day Five.... Wow What a Week!!
Hope everyone has had fun stopping by the blog this week. I have had a lot of fun creating some great projects with Unity Stamp Company Stamps. This week I will randomly choose two people to receive a special gift from The Unity Stamp Company and I want to give a HUGE shout out and a BIG THANKS to the folks over at The Unity Stamp Company. They are a small family owned business and they have the best customer service around. Stop by their site and see all the wonderful creative things they have going on over there and check out their blog to be inspired and encouraged to CREATE.

Ok Day Five, here we go......
This mini album was a mini chipboard album rescued from a clearance bin some Saturday afternoon. Might have paid $2.00 for it. Had been neglecting my scrapbook heart and decided to print some photos from my phone and have a little fun with my favorite stamps!!
Now I will admit, that little window you see there? Totally NOT worth it.... I was not experienced at wrapping a piece of chip board (and let's just say I did it all kinds of wrong and just move on..lol) Next time, do not cut the pre-scored window out. Cover it with paper, you can fake everything else with paper. Your Craft Mat will thank you.

Ok.... so first up, the Cover, Using the TESS GIRL Stamp Set
Wrapped the outer cover with some paper and attached the Tess Girl I had colored with alcohol markers. This girl gets a lot of mileage in my journals.

Next we have a page of me with my beautiful daughters, using the
SHINE BRIGHT GIRLS Stamp Set.

Here we have a page celebrating my beautiful daughter's Graduation,
using the GRADUATION WISHES Stamp Set. This set is so awesome, I love that I can color the gown to match any school and they offer two different looks.
Graduate Girl
Also on this layout above I used an older Alphabet Stamp Set to make the 2020 Banner but I could not find the name so if anyone can identify it, please let me know.
I did not have enough space to use the entire stamp with the frame so I got creative with a sticky note. I cut out the size of the number and only inked inside.

This was a fun layout using the DREW GIRL Stamp Set.
The photo pockets each hold a journaling card with white cardstock on the back. Each card has a different sentiment using Unity Stamps (sorry, I do not know the names of these stamp sets yet. If anyone knows, please let me know and I will update this section.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This page is also a work in progress, still struggling with the small photo pockets so the tags are not done.
Used the SHE NEVER SAYS NEVER Stamp Set here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This page will eventually have some Planner Girls on the journal Tags but I didn't get them finished before I needed to get this posted. Stay tuned and I will update these photos in a few days .
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Love this Itty Bitty set I used here on the Beach page.
The LATER GATOR Stamp Set
and the beautiful SUNSET PROMISE Stamp Set
Each photo has a journal tag tucked in. I got smart half way through the book and started using foam tape to make the photo pockets. A lot easier to get tags in and out, especially layered things! #AlwaysTryingToDoItWrong Haha
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This page turned out so awesome, just like my Big Brother there. When I saw this Kit come out, I knew I had to have it; The Motorcycle in this kit just screamed my Brother.
Miss him so. Love You Bro
I used the Motorcycle from the
JUNE 2018 KIT OF THE MONTH
Two journal cards are tucked in here and the pocket was made from some white cardstock with tissue paper attached then torn and inked the top edge.
The two journal cards will eventually look like concert tickets and the back of them will have journaling about the many concerts we enjoyed over the years.
First I stamped the Motorcycle on the blue tissue paper using black pigment ink and I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. The funny part here, that was NOT the original pocket I had in mind. BUT, when I went to make the first pocket, I didn't notice I glued it down backwards...yeah,,, the pretty embossed side was UNDER the tissue paper AND it was now going the wrong direction... but like I always say, Blessings come in ugly little boxes sometimes. I luckily knew myself well enough to have stamped two motorcycles on to the blue tissue paper JUST IN CASE I messed it up, well, we see where that got me...LOL the original is below (I know, I know, what was I thinking?) The alternative turned out ten times better and the edges done in black really make it pop.... now for the mess up...
I know, I know! Just laugh with me and move along, just movvvvve along. lol
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Fairy always has a special place for me... I used the
May 2016 KIT OF THE MONTH on this page and the sentiment
comes from that same set as well.
This is the last page of one fun little project!
