Friends of Unity Blog Hoppers, December 2019, All Is Calm

Hey friends! We are celebrating our two year anniversary! Woot! Woot! We are so excited and we appreciate each and everyone of you. Thanks for all the love  and  support over these past couple years. We couldn't have done it without you and of course UNITY! Guess what? We have several guest designers joining us for our very special hop. Welcome Donna, Shannon, and Jessica! So glad they can join us. I love all of their ART! Also, we are letting you in on our celebration BIG TIME. You are so going to want to leave a comment on all of our blogs for a chance to win one of two enormous prize packs from our favorite stamp company. Check out these lovelies right here:

Here is our cue:

For this card I used two kits, A Christmas Hello, and the October 2019 SMAK kit, all bundled up.




I am so in love with this cabin. I want to be a guest. Who's with me? Well before I go I want to share a wacky crafting story. First of all, my plan was to make two cards for this hop and then this happened. I am preparing my metal hardware to be attached to a khaki die cut circle when whoa, it goes flying. I have no idea where my little metal piece went. It was perfect too. I searched and searched and never found it. Thus I went with what you see here. It's not the 'perfect' one, but it's growing on me. I plan on adding a second card later, so be sure to come back.

Here is the hop list again. Take care and embrace your crafting journey.
