I have to admit, this is one of my
all-time favorite sentiments from Unity Stamps.
I received this set as a birthday gift from my
dear friend and fellow PDCC designer,
It's a bittersweet week for me as I was supposed
to be celebrating my 50th birthday (this Friday)
with her and her sweet husband this coming
weekend...but scheduling just wouldn't allow it.
But for now, she and I both believe the above quote.
This is already Day Four of hosting 'Growing in Unity'.
This week has flown by so quickly, but I have enjoyed
every single minute of creating and sharing with you.
At the end of this post, don't forget to leave a comment
to be eligible to win a set of Unity stamps.
You must leave a comment on each GIU post,
which began on Monday and will go through Friday.
This set is called 'Where You Are'.
The stamp images in this collection are really large and substantial.
I love the elements of nature and enjoyed using subtle shades
from Memento and Ranger to achieve the various greens.
The sky shades were done with VersaMagic and
Tim Holtz Distress Inks.
While I worked on this project, I continued to layer
the soft tree branches to give the idea of being
alone in the wilderness ... knowing that
in that moment, I am right where I should be.
Well....one more day of 'Growing in Unity'
and a special day for me as I reach the milestone of
50 years old.
I hope you will plan to stop back on Friday, say hello
and check out my next project...see you then!

I must tell you, I didn't pay much attention to this stamp set when I saw it on the Unity site, but it is fabulous on your card, I love the layering of the trees with different shades of green, love the sentiment, but that red bird just absolutely makes the card! I love your work - and I think it is going to make me reevaluate putting that set on my wish list!
