Exclamation **Unity's FIRST Birthday Challenge- 4/28** CHATTER HERE!

Congratulations to Gina H. who won this challenge with this gorgeous creation... Happy Birthday Card

For today's challenge, you need to use the acronyms of FIRST for Unity's first birthday.



1. the project MUST include Unity stamps since we are celebrating Unity's FIRST birthday. (NO OTHER STAMP COMPANY's STAMPS!)
2. F is for flowers...include some sort of flower or flower image in the project
3. I is for insect...think butterflies, dragonflies, ladybugs, etc...
4. R is for ribbon
5. S is for scallops.
6. T is for turquoise or teal so you must include one of these two colors in the project.


The Unity stamp requirement can be combined with any of the other requirements and you may add anything else to the list. You just have to have the 6 things here on your project too.


The details:
1.) You have until May 5th at 9AM Central time to post and link your projects.
2.) Please link your projects to the FIRST Challenge Thread.
3.) Please use the keywords: USAC2, Unity when you are uploading.
4.) Feel free to create cards, layouts, or 3 dimensional projects for this challenge.


Here is my sample using Amber's sketch for this week...

This is a WONDERFUL challenge which I think I will attempt again, later tonight!!

I tried and couldnt find an insect small enough for the card I made for today's sneak peek...I thought about sneaking one on the inside but didnt think that was fair

I'm loving the cards ladies. I'm hoping I get the chance to take part in some of the challenges. At least I know which stamp I'll use for today's challenge...since I only have one Unity stamp so far LOL.

I honestly found this challenge a bit easier than the first one (color challenge). But oh well, it's just me. Great challenge Chris!

HERE is my card.

F- Flowers (stamped image)
I - Insect (butterfly)
R - Ribbon (made a flower out of it too)
S - Scallop (Cut my frame & bottom edge of my background paper using scalloped scissors)
T - Teal (background patterned paper has teal in it and the button too!)

Thanks for looking!
