Friends of Unity, December blog hop!



This is a BIG month for us here at the friends of Unity blog hop!    Sit back, get a cup of coffee and hop with us. 


First before we get to the cards, I'm gonna share this great news, after all I am sure this is what brought you here!  

This is our two year anniversary of hopping with friends of unity.  Although I am new I am so happy to be part of this amazing group.   We are not sponsored by unity, but Angela wanted to help us celebrate by offering you TWO HUGE prize packages    Just look at how awesome these prizes are.   Be sure to leave a comment on each blog in the hop for your chance to win.  Also, there are even more chances to win smaller prizes from a lot of us.   IT's Christmas time and we want to thank you for hopping along with us for the last two years! Winner will be announced on Crystals blog on December 14, just in time for Christmas.
Prize #1

Prize #2



Noe my winner from last month is...   Phaline Mills  Thank you for hopping along.  If you can email me at I will message you through facebook and mail your prize out right away.

Now lets get the the projects.   Now, our theme is all is calm.  And of course that make me think of silent night.  Unfortunately I don't have many stamps that would fit this, so I went in a different direction.   Just think of how peaceful your back yard is during a snow storm.  Those quite moments when the snow just falls and for a brief moment everything seems calm and beautiful.   That peace led me to snowmen.  One of my favorite things.

My cards are super simple this month.  I hope to bring you a little more in 2020.  I hope you enjoy the simplicity of these cards.


This card uses Love to my heart, that can be found HERE!  I used a snowflake border die From Simon says stamp.with some My Minds Eye pattern paper.   The bottom is lined with glitter.   I hope Santa brings me a light box for Christmas, I am struggling with natural light this time of year.  Crafter struggles ;)

My second card used Wonderland, I love the altered look to this guy, I use him often.  He can be found HERE!

The cloud die, (which I love) Is from My favorite things, and was purchased at Simon says stamp.

I hope you enjoyed my simple cards, and try using some of the patterned paper I know you have for simple backgrounds.   We should all make 2020 the year we use up some of our hoarded paper. You know who you are.  (looking in the mirror)

I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a happy and healthy New Year, May 2020 be filled with lots of mojo and many crafty days.

If you stumbled here and would like to start at the beginning please Visit CRYSTAL!

Next on the stop is the lovely Alaine!

Merry Christmas,

Dawn
