You can read about the "kit" I used to make most of my projects this week in yesterday's post. Today, I used several stamps from this KOM on my layout -- I love the wide (almost random) variety in each kit -- so many options! By the way, I just noticed that this particular set is on sale at the moment -- for super-cheap!
I wanted to add more color to the upper corner of my layout, so I paper-pieced the banners using some scraps, while the glasses are just stamped right on my background. I know lots of scrappers fear stamping right on their layouts, but if you can stamp on a card, you can stamp anywhere -- plus, if you smudge or smear, well, that's what layering is for, right?
I also pieced the little camera for an additional colorful embellishment in the opposite corner. Simple! While I had that particular stamp set out, I made a relatively quick one-layer card:
The diamond background was pretty easy to use as a background (with the help of a stamp positioner). I added clouds from this Bella Blvd. co-brand set to house my sentiment (which, yes, is smudged a little...maybe I'll layer another cloud over it -- problem solved!).
Cute little chicks, ready to celebrate. Hope you've enjoyed today's projects, and be sure to comment today and all week for your chance to win some Unity goodness of your own. Have a great day -- see you tomorrow!

Great projects! My husband has learned if he does something goofy, it will likely end up on the Internet somewhere. I am one of those stampophobic scrappers, but trying to get over it. Baby steps.
Wonderful layout!!! I love how many stamps you manage to use on your layouts - very inspiring for me!

Um, I'm not sure it's the layout that's goofy. :D It's really a lot of fun! Great paper-piecing. And what an awesome one-layer card! It's really only you that's going to consider the sentiment smudged. ;)
Oh I love your layout! And the card is wonderful! Thanks so much for being our GIU girl!

So fun! LOVE how you are sharing a layout and card each day. That banner is fabulous, LOVE!
Two more wonderful projects - love how you are showing the versatility of doing both layouts and cards, and like you, I love the variety of stamps in the KOM.
WOW hun, these are both fantastic! I adore your LO. The picture itself is awesome and I love all of the fabulous details. Love your card too. I am feeling inspired this morning. Thanks for sharing!
Oh, I LOVE the goofy layout, it made me smile!! I also like how you made the whole background of the card using stamping!! I am learning something with each post, thank you!
More great projects - I love the card and LO every day! I love your scrapping style and all the embellies you layer on. I totally agree about stamping on a layout! Plus, smudging just gives it a little personality or the opportunity to layer!
Fun and colorful layout and a fantastic one-layer card. What's not to love here? You are rockin' your GIU week!
Love the layout, so clever!

How cute. I love that he's so goofy--it makes life fun. The glasses are perfect for this project--very fitting.
Your limited use of colors is great. It keeps the focus on what you want to focus on. Good job.
