GIU Gal - Day 7
Hi friends! First of all I would like to thank Unity Stamp Co for giving me the opportunity to share my projects with such a great group of stamper’s. Waking up this morning I am a little sad. Today is my last day as GIU Gal of the week. This week has been so good for me. I suffer from depression and this week has given me reason to work on a project each day. It has really helped me and how I feel about myself getting the feedback from all of you. I would like to keep up with this blog for those of you who would continue to follow me! Today my first project is an 8x8 scrapbook page. My next project is a bonus and I tried to do something out of the box. A friend gave me a pile of wallpaper swatches and I challenged myself to choose one and use it in a project. My favorite was this textured one with fibers. I chose to use it as the background on a chipboard tag bookmark. I challenge you this week to think outside the box and use an unusual item somewhere in your project and share with others! Enjoy and have a GREAT year❣️
