Unity Blog Hop and Release ~ Owl Graduate

Hi there, it's Gaylynn.  Today we are hopping with the Unity Stamp Co. design team and featuring lots of new release projects.

This is a special graduation invitation project.

My baby girl is graduating college.  I am a so very proud of her.

This is a sample of her party invites.

I made a video tutorial sharing ways to attach vellum.

There is a lot going on at the Unity store.  Don't miss out.  I used this cute kit called Owl Graduate.

And hop along with us for lots of inspiration.

Something Big Encouragement Card

This is a card going out to my daughter for working so hard in college and having big dreams.

Sentiment:

She always knew she could do something big.

This little girl is adorable and she goes perfectly with the sentiment.

I just love the sweetness of it.  But I had to make it with more of a grown up style.

Owl Mini Cards & Tags

Here is a set of four owl mini cards for gift tags or bags.  These are 3" x 3" and have decorative envelopes.  This little owl is brown and gold and sits on a green branch.  The front sentiment is "It's all about YOU".  I think these are great for birthday, thank you, teacher, student, graduate or even Father's Day notes and tags.  And it is fitting for a guy or gal.  These were inspired by Miss Gloria's critter themed 3x3 card designer challenge over at My Creative Time and will be included there.

Tools used include:  From My Creative Time It's All About You stamp set & 3x3 Fancy Envelope Die.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you will leave a comment and follow my new crafty blog while you're here. Have a wonderful day.

Liebster Award ~ Such an Honor!!!

I am excited and honored to share that I have been given the Liebster Award from Chris at Chrispy's Creations.  She is an amazing person and loves to share her love of crafting as well.  Thank you Chris and I will pay it forward.

This award was designed to promote blogs that have less than 200 followers. Once the award is accepted, the idea is to pay it forward to five other blogs you enjoy, encouraging others to visit, leave comments, and hopefully follow.

To accept the award: Thank the person who gave it to you and link back to their blog. Post the award on your blog. Give the award to five other bloggers who have less than 200 followers.

Write a comment on their blog letting them know they have been nominated.

This was such a difficult choice.  I have met so many talented and kind people who are deserving of this recognition.  Here are five wonderful bloggers:

Angela at Angela's Crafty Spot. She loves her family. She also loves crafts and I see her enter challenges often with her wonderful creations.

Donna at Created By ~DonnaK.  Donna is a nice person and always has something pleasant to say.  Loves her family and crafts.  She is incredibly talented in paper crafting.

Amber S. at ...Pieces of Me. She is very talented and creative. Love to see her use of different products on cards and layouts. 

Maureen at Glitzzys Place.  She is creative with stamping and mixed media.  It's always fun to see her unique creations.

Amy at Crafting With Amy.  I like how she uses diecuts from cutting machines and stamping.  It is refreshing to see her work.
