GROWING IN UINTY DAY 5: You warm my heart

What?! My GIU week is over already?! :) Time flew this week! Thanks for hanging in there and for all your lovely comments thus far!  So encouraging! :)

I LOVED all the Wood slice Christmas ornaments made during the holiday season, but after I put those stamps away in January, I STILL itched to make gifts using the wood slices I had left over!! So here are a few of them!

With all this talk of my SON and his fiance, you may wonder if he's my only kid! He isn't! I have an amazing and beautiful daughter who lives in Texas! This day's project starts with something for her! We've had an old fashioned Western NY winter here...BRRR! The weather in  parts of Texas hasn't been all that warm this last month though...40 degrees on some days! Cold for Texas! So I decided I'd use my daughter's favorite animal to make and send her a cheerful gift. This is one of my FAVORITE Unity sets Scarf in Winter....so fun and so adorable! I love the sentiment, too, as my daughter and I both wear scarves a lot and she warms my heart! I added a lot of bright colors so the gift didn't get mistaken for a Christmas ornament. (Yes, at times I procrastinate in sending holiday gifts, LOL!)  I wanted her to think of SPRING (I have faith it will come!)

I used Gina K's Amalgam ink for stamping and I colored the images with colored pencils...no particular brand as I use many: Koorinor, Crayola, RoseArt, Prismacolors, etc. It's so easy that anyone can do it!

This next wood project is for a friend of mine who had a heck of a 2018....and 2019 isn’t starting so great for her either! I thought of her right away when I saw this sentiment while I was creating. Although I don't smoke or like the habit, I thought she could use a laugh! I used the set Your Fairy Godmother! For those of you new to Unity, they have a line of girl/guy images called Angie Girl/Guy stamps for which there are no faces. I personally LOVE this line, but some people prefer faces. That's cool! Unity has a bunch of gorgeous girl and guy stamps with faces, as well as a few faces you can purchase separately, so be sure to check them out!

These won't be my last two wood slice gifts by far...I have a dozen or so slices left, LOL! And Unity stamps are the perfect complement for them! Their deep etched rubber stamps stamp perfectly on the first try 99.999% of the time!  There's no room for error on wood...especially when you want to use both sides! And the images...SWOON!

So that's a wrap! REMEMBER! Make a comment on all of my GIU posts this week for a chance to win some UNITY RUBBAH! May Spring come early to your neck of the woods! We here in NY are waiting ever soooooo impatiently in our parkas, sweaters, high boots, mittens and scarves!!

 Wishing you warm blessings and sunny weather where ever you are!
