~ Friends of Unity May Blog Hop ~

Hello crafty peeps!!

Can you believe that it's time for another Friends of Unity blog hop?! I cannot!! 

Time just zips on by!! It's so crazy... well, this month we have another fun cue... 

Isn't that a fun cue?! I love it!

I thought I'd stick within the citrus fruit family and play with some lemon stamps but... with a twist because I want my card to also work for the fabulous Spring / Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop so here's what I came up with... 

My favorite drink, any time that we go out to eat, is an Arnold Palmer... a yummy mix of iced tea and lemonade!! It's a great way to have iced tea without having to add sugar or sweetener... LOL! I know some of you are thinking I'm crazy.... iced tea HAS to have sugar! I'm cutting back on that stuff sooo... anywho, I thought it would be fun to combine the sweet jar from the new May 2019 KOM called Sweetness, Miracles and Wishes from Unity Stamp Company with the beautiful lemons from the July 2018 KOM called Stand Tall. 

I stamped my images onto Canson XL watercolor paper and colored them in with my ZIGs.

I trimmed my layers and adhered them to a white card base. I fussy cut the jar and popped it up on the card. I couldn't find the right yellow to back the sentiment so I just used the yellow ZIG markers to color the edges... easy peasy!

So I'm not only playing along with the Spring / Summer Coffee Lovers Blog hop... 

I used the Freshly Made Sketches #386 for my card...

AND... I'm also going to enter my card in the Three Amigos Blog Hop Challenge... 

Do you ever play along with challenges?! I think they are a great way to get inspired!

So, I think it's about time to get hopping... but before we do that. It has been a

good long time since I've done a giveaway for our Friends of Unity hops... I think we're a bit overdue! I'm not sure how it happened but I accidentally bought two of the brand new Cuddlebug Fawn stamp kits for my latest order with Unity Stamp Company so

I'll be giving away one of those kits to one lucky winner!!

All you have to do is hop along with us and comment on each of our blogs! 

I'll use Random.org to choose one lucky winner that I'll announce next month during our June hop!! 

Thank you all again for your lovely comments and support!! 

Happy Hopping!
