As promised, here's a layout featuring Unity -- in two ways: the stamps (of course) AND the photo!
As I mentioned in this post, meeting Maren was a total treat. This is the first of many CHA photos you'll see scrapped over the next couple months, I'm sure! I stitched on a twine "wire" for my birds, which are embossed -- as is the swirl in the lower-right corner. Note to self: next time, stitch the twine AFTER embossing. That was a "duh" moment, for sure. ;)
Peek closer:
The birds and swirl are available as part of the Donna Downy Unity set Embrace You. Love the large scale -- perfect for pages! Embossing on textured paper gives a more rustic-looking texture, which I like. The ticket behind the title is from Here's the Ticket.
More embossing here -- I selectively inked a sentiment from May's KOM, think HAPPY thoughts, and added in some tiny type stickers to complete the thought. This was a great chance to use papers from my July Scrappy Chic goodies -- Pebbles's Floral Lane collection, which is super-cheery. Grunged up the cheer a bit with layers of tape from 7gypsies and American Crafts. Cheerful grunge: I like it!
Hope you do, too! Remember to comment all week for a chance at some Unity goodies! I'll be back tomorrow with more. Enjoy your day.

This is ADORABLE! Those white birds are perfect!!! I'm looking forward to meeting Angela and the other Unity gals at Scrapfest in September.
Great layout - love the embossing directly on the cardstock.
Love this layout! I love the large stamps, too. Thanks for sharing.
Great stamping inspiration as usual :) Love the color combo. I think you need to coin the term Cheerful Grunge - I like it! lol.

Love the bright fun look to this page! and all on the brown polka dot paper, LOVE it!
Also loving that twine "wire" for the birds.
I do that all the time because I am so bad at planning out my cards. I often have to rip some thing apart or start over. You made it work. :)
Oh, fabulous Unity within a Unity page! The colorful grunge is great and the stitched wire for the birds? Genius (well, except for getting the correct order of steps...)!
Love the colors you used on your layout and the stamping on the pattern paper...thanks for sharing!
Oh, Ang, this is fabulous!! I love how you switched up the sentiment with stickers. I'm not a pink girl but I love all the pink on this! It works so nicely with the teal and brown...ooooh, washi tape, too. ;)
SUPER fab LO! LOVE the way you stamped the tickets for journaling! FUN!
A fun layout to commemorate the fun occasion! One of the first details I noticed was all the great tapes you used -- and you better trademark "cheerful grunge" right now before someone steals it. :D
Great layout, love the birds on the line!
