Stampin' In Alaska

Unity Stamp Company  has moved their weekly challenge over to their Facebook page. Honestly, I kind of miss the  inspiration and camaraderie that was established among the players on the Unity blog. BUT I enjoy their great quality stamps! AnyWho -- I've used this adorable  image from Unity called "First Love". The artist, Phyllis Harris , was who  brought me to Unity several years ago. You can check out her line of  fabulous red rubber stamps  in the Unity store HERE .    The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils on kraft cardstock. The layout was inspired by the current Sugar Pea Mix It Up Challenge #13 I'm also sharing my card with the following: Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:  Anything Goes  Work it Wednesday:  August - Use Stamps Word Art Wednesday:  Anything Goes #246 - 247 Thanks for stopping by for a closer look!
