Growing in Unity, Day ONE

Morning all!  Sorry to have been dark all of this past week but between a sinus infection (better than the cracked tooth I THOUGHT I had- who knew they'd feel the same?!), a kid with out-of-control allergies, a planned vacation which turned into a cancelled vacation and a yard sale instead, and getting ready to post a project a day this week, I didn't get much in the way of posting done.  HOWEVER, this week I'll be posting a project using Unity and/or ippity stamps each day as part of my Growing in Unity (GIU) week.  At the end of the week, I'll draw a name from all of the comments and that poster will win 2 Itty Bitty stamps of their choice from Unity so don't forget to comment!

For today, I made a card using the "Brave Boots" Itty Bitty set.  This set was created with Melody Ross from the Brave Girls' Camp fame.  I think that's something I need to add to my bucket list actually- making it to a Brave Girls' Camp.
Don't forget to drop back by tomorrow to comment again- you may be the lucky winning commenter this week!

Paper: (Cotton Bloom Stack): DCWV, (Very Vanilla): Stampin' Up

  2. You've sure had a rough go of it - things are certainly looking up now! This card is adorable. Love the color choices and your coloring and shading is very pretty, yet rustic, perfect for the image.
