Just Because it's my last day....

of Growing In Unity.....I thought I'd share a card with you using the new Bella Blvd. set, Sunny Happy Skies!

When I look at this set, I really think more along the lines of bright fun colors, however, I thought I'd go for a different look with more natural muted tones. Okay, I have to admit, it was more about laziness, because these supplies were with me in my living room and everything else was 2 floors up in the disaster I sometimes call my craft room!

All in all, I like the end result.

Thank you for all of your kind comments this week, thank you for taking the time to stop by and don't forget it's not too late to comment for a chance to win a prize from Unity! I will be announcing the winner tomorrow sometime!

Your next stop on the hop today is Lynn at the All Things Unity blog.

Have a great weekend!
