#spreadjoynotgerms Blog Hop!


I'm thrilled to be a part of this amazing blog hop. We definitely need JOY right now and what better way to make people smile. There are tons of wonderful sponsors participating and offering amazing prizes! Check out this great group of sponsors:




I created a few cards using new digi stamps from Unity Stamp Co. Unity created some digi stamps available for a limited time during this crisis.

This beautiful flower is from the set called In this Together. I used watercolors from Jane Davenport to color and added some sparkle to the middle using Nuvo Drops.




Thank you to all those on the front lines during this time.  To honor them Unity created a few wonderful sets called Part of a Miracle and Work of Heart



And this cutie pie is from a set called Nurture Your Soul
