Fall Flair
September 4th, 2009
Is it Friday yet? It’s just been one of those weeks, and setting down to stamp with some Unity lovin’ rubber was just what I needed.
I used the Weekend Sketch by Beate and a new Unity set called Simple Blessings. Love the distressed patterns in the pumpkins of this kit. For the first time in ages, I stamped my backgrounds. I’m gonna start using some of those backgrounders, again. I like that. 
I pulled my colors from Dawn’s color combo of the week - The whole thing was easy peasy. Hey, it was just like old times, I even used a sponge dauber.
The Unity set is available to retail stores only right now. You can find it at Paper Maniacs, celebrating their grand opening this week. Psst - they have the Unity September Store Kit of the Month, Everything Extraordinary there, too. Use the coupon GRAND15 to save 15%, and check out the great product selections.
Now, it’s time for me to go see what the other sketch girls cooked up. I’m in need of paper-therapy today, and they never disappoint. You can see them to:
Cambria Turnbow, Charmaine Ikach, Jenn Balcer, Laurie Schmidlin, Mary Jo Albright, Sharon Harnist and Beate Johns - enjoy!
- Stamps: Simple Blessings, Distressed Dots Background, Victorian Background & Hodgepodge of Happiness - from Paper Maniacs for Unity Stamp Co.
- Cardstock: Ivory, Kraft, Chocolate cardstock
- Ink: Pumpkin Pie Spice, Ivory, Jumbo Java - chalk ink
- Accs: Golden ribbon & button - PTI
