Welcome to the UNITY HIP HOP for March 17, 2011 and Happy St. Patrick's Day!
My grandfather immigrated from Ireland when he was 15, and he just passed away a few years ago on St. Patrick's Day. We all saw it as a fitting day for him to go, he loved Ireland. It was in his blood. This was him at 92. And he was a Leslie too! Miss you Grandpa.

Today's Scrapbook Thoughts:
I took this picture by chance, when I saw my little girl waiting for my sister to get ready to take a group shot. She stood out, being so small, I was surprised. She just has such a big personality and you can tell in this photo! So I scrapped it and kept a denim feel to the layout.

Unity Stamps Used:
"Pose for Pics"
I used Iron Orchid Designs - Love Never Fails stamp set on this layout. It's a beautiful, feminine set. I stamped myself a background using Coloringz, kind of built it like a brick wall, then added my other elements on top.
I spritzed the ribbon with Mamma Sings the Blues Coloringz too! Love that you can buy white ribbon and turn it into any color you want. And there, do you see that Tim Holtz film ribbon? I love that stuff. I lost it, then found it yesterday.

TIP TIME:
Stamp with Coloringz! It's a new product by Shimmerz Paints. I used Anchor's Away to stamp the pattern over and over again in the background. Want to see a demo? Watch this weeks UnityTV Episode #2!
