A Hip Hop Thursday!!! ACHIEVE!

Good morning and good day!  If you're here for the UNITY hip hop - a BIG WELCOME! 

Last week, I made a layout layered with embellishments and "stuff".  Today I bring you.....something a little more SIMPLE and STAMPY.  If you notice, there are no patterned papers on this layout. I rarely do this, but I thought the beauty of the stamps was enough to carry this layout off.

This layout is entitled "Achieve".

I started out with this picture and fell in love with this HUGE swirl flourish from the UNITY set **Where You Are**, a Donna Downey set.  I used an ink color that matched the background in my photo, and stamped it 2 times to frame the photo.

The quote is from **The Artist in You**, also by Donna Downey.  The date stamp is from a set called **Sweet Loving & Living**.

I bought some new watercolor paint by Luminarte called Radiant Rain.  I used it to make a backdrop for my TRUTH BIRD, from **She Did It Anyway**.

Don't you just love UNITY stamps!

Did you see the new stamps created for the SCRAPBOOKING LINE?  Here they are! 

Did you know that a whole lot of chatting is going on?  Don't forget to join us at Splitcoast Stampers (in the Unity forum) for chatting and giveaways - these awesome stamp prizes just pop up when you least expect it!  You just need to be there to win them.

Now it's time to hop hop hop on over to Jessica's crafty blog...
