Growing In Unity - Day 3 - August 22, 2018

Day 3 - August 22, 2018


Hello All!. I can't believe that half of my week as a 
Growing In Unity Girl is over all ready. 
I hope that you have been enjoying what I have made using 
Unity Stamp Company stamps, and that maybe I
have inspired your creativity.

I was inspired to start a "Quotes Journal" recently.
I LOVE quotes and sayings, and after hearing about doing one 
I thought it would be perfect for me.

I love doing cards, etc using stamps because it allows me 
to show my own unique perspective. 
We could have the same stamp set,
and create all totally different things.

I absolutely LOVE Sunflowers.
 I loved them before I went to South Dakota back in 2015 
but after I went there I found a place in my heart 
that makes me smile seeing them. 
For my first two pages in my Quotes Journal I chose to
use Sunflowers from Unity.

Here is my two pages:


I really enjoyed doing these two pages.
For the background I decided to use my 
Tim Holtz Distress Crayons.
I was trying to make a sorta of plaid pattern using them.
I know its not perfect, but it is "colorful" - smiling.



For this page of my journal I used several Unity Stamp Kits.
I LOVE Angie Girls, and of course Rebecca Girl 
just had to be used. I stamped her with Sunflower in Staz On ink 
and colored her with my Distress Crayons and a few
Zig Colored Markers.

I decided to use the "Vintage Ledger" stamp and
distress the edges using "Vintage Photo".
I found a saying on the internet so I wrote it on the ledger.
Remember: Don't be afraid to use your own handwriting
for journaling. It makes it more personal that way.

For the caption on the top of the page I used 
one of Unity's MANY Itty Bitty stamps.
PLEASE don't let the Itty Bitty name fool you!.
You can do so much with these stamps.
I used the sentiment from "Struggle & Strength", as 
I believe this is a true statement indeed.

--------------------------------


I also used a second Sunflower Itty Bitty stamp
from Unity called "Turn Toward the Light".
Sunflowers indeed turn toward the light...
I smile whenever I see that saying.

The Sunflower image I took from a Sunflower that was
in the July 2017 - Kit Of The Month I saw that I loved. 
We all need to "Believe". Believe things will get better,
Believe that we deserve to be happy...
Believe we have worth and deserve to be loved.


I used the Vintage Postcard stamp for this page of my 
Quotes Journal. I used Distress Ink on the edges and a little
on the top of the Post card to make it look worn.
I found a Helen Keller quote I loved so it's now a "keeper".

I had so much fun starting this Quotes Journal
and look forward to adding more.
If you have a favorite quote for inspiration maybe you
can share it with me. 
I deal with anxiety attacks, and love Sunflowers,  &Tulips.
Maybe your favorite quote will end up in my journal - smiling.

Have a great day and Happy Stamping!!.

Come back tomorrow and leave a comment,
or if you missed a previous day its not to late to go and comment.
Remember I will be picking two people who comment
to win a Unity Stamp Company Grab Bag of 25 stamps!!.
After all....who can NEVER have ENOUGH Unity (smiling).

  16. Wonderful! I'm taking a series of classes on creating a junk journal and had decided to make mine a quote journal of favorite quotes & sayings about things I love -- coffee, wine, travel, books, my kids & grandkids -- using art products/techniques, my Unity stamps, & a little bit of memorabilia. After seeing your great pages, I'm super excited to do this! Thank you!

  19. What a wonderful 2-page layout. Never thought about doing just a quotes journal—love that idea now!! I’m always saving quotes in my phone, so I may have to get busy and put them down in a journal instead. These are great stamp ideas.

  20. Pretty pages! I likw to look at everyone's journal pages, but, personally for me, I can't find a passion to make one. I love your coordinating colors. Super pretty!

  27. Love love love the sunflowers and the concept of a quote journal! I don't have an art journal yet aside from my sketchbook, this is a great idea -- quotes can both inspire or just be an addition to art. Love it!
