Rainy days in June...Unity Hop

Hi everyone!

It's been a dreary, rainy couple of days here in Cranbrook.....
not exactly summertime worthy.
The upside - perfect weather for curling up indoors and creating!


Our new June {be inspired} challenge just started a week ago...

And with all the "indoor" weather around here, I had time to play along.
I used the color inspiration to create a couple cards:

Grow Through Dirt


Many Wishes



On the first card, I also used the new sentiment kit {hello thank you}
created by our very own Lisa Arana!



Besides playing along with the challenge, I also created this masculine card recently....
I love how it turned out...simple but just so "me"!

Missing You Dearly

Supplies Used: Bazzill Cardstock; October Afternoon Fly A Kite - Picnic Table; October Afternoon 9to5 - Italics; XPress It Cardstock; Copics; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Antique Linen, Vintage Photo & Walnut Stain; Spellbinders Nestabilities - Classic Ovals; EK Success/Stampin' Up Three Hearts Punch; EK Success Slim Edge Punch - Postage; Button - Misc.
