Life Measured in Moments & GIU Blog Hop

This is part of the Unity Stamp Co. blog hop featuring recent Growing In Unity guest designers.


Front sentiment:
Life is not measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.

We were asked to create something new with our favorite Unity kit.
My favorite is Happy Love Day December 2013 KOM.

Unity is giving away a grab bag filled with 25 stamps to two random winners from comments on all of the blogs in this hop.  Winners of the hop giveaways will be announced on the Unity blog Wednesday, October 28, 2015. Be sure to visit and leave some love along the way.

I also have a separate giveaway on my blog on another post and that winner will be announced here on my blog on 11-2-15. ENDED.

The first image is also included in Unity's {be inspired} sketch challenge 33 and Friends with Flair.

Guest Designer for Paper Girls #90 AND Giveaway

Here is a set of funny Halloween treat wraps in the shape of bats.


Sentiment:  Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!


I like to include a handmade touch for our Halloween candy each year.  The theme for this week's challenge was the inspiration for these bat wraps.  
This shape was cut and scored from Cricut Artiste.  The cute face and funny sentiment were stamped in white craft ink, then heat embossed.  I added a sentiment tag and twine bow.  The sentiment is meant to look a little spooky and imperfect.  Small treats work best for this favor wrapper.

This is my second week being featured as Guest Designer on The Paper Girls Challenge Blog.  You are welcome to link up on their blog any Halloween projects you may be working on for Challenge #90 Get Ready for Halloween.
