Friends of Unity August Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our Friends of Unity July Blog Hop. This month the theme is coffee or tea. Your guess is as good as mine as to what my Angie girl is drinking... it could be either! I am a fan of both, so your guess is as good as mine. This month I am the host of one of the giveaways. You will receive the beautiful stamp you see pictured in my card PLUS a repurposed library book, like the one used in this card. All you need to do to enter to win is hop to all the blogs (they are all linked below) leave a comment, and the winner will be announced next month on my blog. The book pages can also be colored on, as shown HERE. The typeset also makes excellent background paper as seen below.



Hop along with the other Friends of Unity and see their creations...Pssst! There is another giveaway too!

    Oh I love this card could not have come at a better time. I need a special doctor card and the way you have paper behind from book gives me an awesome idea for his card too. I love the paper instead of a stamp. I am thinking you could even use newspaper as there was an article about them in paper
