FWF {Jan. 28}

Hello, friends;} 


It's Savannah on the All Things Unity blog today! I have a fun tri-fold card to share with you--it's perfect for the NEW ATU challenge! I used my Unity Sew Sweet stamp set for the spool on the front and the sentiment. I used the scissors image from Unity's Material Girl set to help hide a small tear in the paper! I love how this tri-fold turned out. **NOTE:: I should probably tell you I was inspired by Kelly Rasmussen! She is fab! And I should tell you that this is only my 2nd easel or tri-fold card! I'm a newbie!! I would also like to enter this into the Wee Memories {anything goes} challenge! LOVE it!!
I tried to get as many pics to share how each side looks. LOVE it! Simple--but with detail


Click HERE for all the details on the All Things Unity challenge! I hope you will join in the fun! There is still time to link up to win our monthly prize...and NEW blinkies and badges!! 

Don't forget to stop by the Unity store for some amazing deals! PLUS--if you are at CHA--go check them out at their booth! I can't wait to see pics of their amazing decorations! That would be the FIRST booth I would stop at! LOVE Unity! And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take pics for me!! I want to see it all:}
