Unity Rocks My Socks!

Unity Rocks My Socks, I could be down there, but here is my praise of this fab company. When my stamps came, I was so excited, and I gushed to Ryan "this ain't your momma's stamp club", this requires a small bit of explanation as Ryan hates Stamping Up with more fervid passion than anyone else I know. His mom was a demonstrator and she has more stamps (used and unused) than anyone I have ever met. But they just aren't quite Angie stamps, they lack a certain flair or funkiness and Unity seems to encompass everthing I ever wanted from a stamp company. Oh and did I mention that the packages they come in are environmentally friendly?

I got my Unity KOTM (Kit of the Month) and I just about died! It is sooo much fun and will go amazingly well with a bunch of retro Thank You's I'm working on for my friend.

Check it out:

Doesn't it just make you want to get them inked up and colored? OMG, I'm just sad that I don't have more time. And as I so lovingly said to Ryan when they arrived "this ain't your mother's stamp club" and while it was said in jest, its completely true, I don't have to buy everything to go with everything, everything already goes and is just awesome.

The possibilities are endless! And they are all really big, the words fit right in the houndstooth frame and its just all sorts of exhilirating! Also, today and tomorrow there is a special deal on the KOTM, if you join you get that one ($24.00 +$5.00 s.h.) and a choice of one of 5 kits for free!

Some other sets that are satiating my inky-ness:

Just My Type
I am going to cut them up into individual letters at some point but for now I like them as is.

"Be Owl Mine" with the upcoming Wedding Season, I have gobs of ideas and oppurtunities to use these.

"Flowers From Neverland" I'm thinking easy for a clean crisp quick card or using on backfround paper.

And last but not least, "Itsy Bitsy Giggles" and just as rockingly versatile.

I'll be back in a few days, I'm off to get my hands inky and hopefully (crossing fingers) with some pictures!

Wish me luck. Oh and does anyone else want to play with these items? I'm happy to do craft days.
