GIU Growing in Unity 2020 - Day Three - Naturally Obsessed

Hey Crafty Crafters! 

I am So Excited to get a turn to be a GIU- Growing in Unity Girl! :) It is a real honor to get the chance to share a few lines and a few images, about THE BEST Red Rubber Out There, brought to you and to me by our friends at Unity Stamp Company. 

Today is where I share a little more about me, with one of my Crafty Obsessions Confessions...how many times have you passed by the opportunity to buy as a new release (new release also=best price) one of the Unity stamp sets that you REALLY want to have? You watch the wonderful Unity design team, and Whitney and Angela, and that stamp set shows up again and again in the GIU and the Show and Tell feed on Facebook and elsewhere. Each time you see that stamp set in action, beyond the swooning, there is a deeply embedded response, "I really LOVE that stamp, I wonder why I haven't bought that stamp, I NEED that stamp, I will get it the next time it is on sale!..." and so on. You have seen Whitney color it up on a Live. You are ready to try! But somehow it jumps in and out of your cart when it is time to buy!? (Crafters on a Budget are especially likely to experience this syndrome). 

One of the Unity sets that has impacted me that way is called "Naturally Beautiful" a fabulous rubber stamp set by Graciellie Design. I loved that set in much the same way as just described, from back in 2019 when it was originally released. LOVED IT! Back in June of this year, when the sweet, talented, Unity design team member Crystal Thompson announced she was doing four weekly Color Combo with Crystal installments on the Unity Blog featuring that very same set, I just couldn't take it any more! :) It was time to ACT! That Beauty popped right from the Sale section: Featured on the Blog This Week, into my cart and finally headed home to Casa Vigil! (You can click here for a link to the first in Crystal's series of four posts featuring this set). Here are some takes I made on a primarily stamped images style card from her series....I just LOVE it!



I'd love to hear from you, so please make a comment below to be in the drawing from all entries this week's sweet treat from Unity, you may win one of two Unity grab bags. I Love to Win...Good Luck to you!  

Thanks for stopping by, Have a Wonderful Day!

    Both of those are great cards. My confession is that I do purchase the stamps, but then they get to my house and don't get used for way longer than should happen. I have such a huge stash of never before used stamps and yet the new ones still call out to me.

    I too know the feeling of obsessing about a stamp set, put it on the wish list, wait for a sale and then numerous other stamps are available to me - what to do - living on Social Security limits my purchases but the sales at Unity make purchases affordable. This stamp set has so many uses from summertime lemonade to cocktails

    I have that syndrome too! This 2nd wave of Brown Thursday is KILLING me! I love those refreshing looking cards you created and can see why that set was calling to you.

    Lovely cards! I leave items in my cart and whittle it down each day until the price is where I need it. And I still will go back and forth putting something in a taking it out before the final decision.
