Friends of Unity Hop, August 2022, Holidays

 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: We have a new Friends of Unity member. Give it up for Gaylynn Martling! I love her art. It is always so inspiring. She is an amazing addition to our team. Welcome Gaylynn...so wonderful to have you join us!

Yikes! It's August already...how is this possible? Time for back to school and back to work for my fellow colleagues in education. It is also time to start thinking about the upcoming holidays. They will be here before we know it. Check out our fantastic graphic:

 

It's hard for me to think about the upcoming holidays right now. I'm stilll in a summer state of mind, but here we go:

Ok, I realize that the above card is not what you generally envision when the theme is holidays. But for me, taking a mental health day or self-care day is a holiday. Check it, on a couch day you don't have any commitments, deadlines, places to be, things to do or people to see. You are straight up...just chillin'. So technically, a couch day does fall under the category of holiday. It's a free day to do as you please. Plus, I have been dying to use these two stamps together ever since this kit came out in April 2022. The sentiment and couch scene are both from the April 2022 Kit of the Month, true colors. I can't wait to play with more stamps from this kit, i.e., paint brush and owl.

Next up:

This card is in honor of all those who have served or are serving to protect this country we love and call home.  It's perfect for Veterans Day. Three Unity stamps were used on this card. First, the heart is from Ragged ol' Flag; sentiment is from Amber Girl; and unfortunately I do not remember which set the row of stars is from. I'm still looking and hoping to have the name of the kit, by the time I share on the Unity Show & Tell page.  For this card, I also used a couple of freebies from Unity, gray tag and pattern paper the sentiment is stamped on.

I am giving away a prize this month. Up for grabs is Celeste Girl. If you do not have this Angie Girl and you want to add to your collection, comment on all our blogs for a chance to win this set or others from different team members. 

That's going to do it for me today. Next up is the super talented COLLEEN. Here is the blog hop order so you can keep hopping:
