BLOOMing with Inspiration

I'm a reader, I don't think this is a secret.  In 2022, I found myself accidentally obsessed with Colleen Hoover's books.  I'd read a few over the years, but I really got obsessed with them then.  I discovered It Ends With Us a mere few months before It Starts With Us was published.  I, of course, loved both books and was obsessively waiting for the movie to open.

I saw it last Saturday, and it didn't disappoint. I'm hoping to see it again while it's still in theatres.  I find that whenever I see a book-to-film adaptation, I have to see it more than once to really absorb it.  The first time I watch it, I'm so worried about what they cut and what they will or won't change.  I really felt that the movie did the subject matter justice.  Justin Baldoni did an amazing job and he should be very proud of himself.  I won't touch too much on anything here, but I would encourage everyone to read this fabulous book.

The protagonist's name is Lily Bloom, and she's a florist, so it inspired me to make this card.  I didn't think I was going to make something for this movie, but I haven't been able to get it out of my head.  So here it is.

The sentiment makes sense to the book readers, and probably if you've just seen the film, as well.  I layered vellum stickers to create the flower background and I am NOT a sticker person, but I have to say that all in all I LOVE how it turned out!!!

**SPRING INTO CARDMAKING IG HOP** Week One - Birth Month Flowers

We're back!!  Welcome to Week 1 of the Spring Into Cardmaking Hop hosted by @kellysantidesigns!  Each Wednesday we will share a themed card focusing on the joy of spring.  This week's theme is Birth Month Flowers.  If this theme inspires you, please share your creation on IG using the hashtag #springintocardmakinghop.

I actually had so much fun making this card.  I had to research what November's birth flower is, and it's chrysanthemum, and then I had to raid my stash for something I could use.  I got this set from Unity Stamp Co. along with some astrological stamps last year and had forgotten all about it.  The stamps are TINY but I made it work.  And I just love this card sketch, you might see different variations of this card in the future :)

Unity Blog Hop!!!

Happy Sunday all!  I'm hopping along with some other former GIU girls today and the Unity Stamps blog!!  If you stop by each blog and leave a comment, you could win some incredible Unity stamps!!

We were asked to create with our favorite Unity kit, but I could no sooner choose a favorite Unity kit than I could choose a favorite boy band!!  So I decided to use my CURRENT favorite kit, which is the December KOM, Always Been You.  I'm especially obsessed with this rose stamp in particular because it reminds me of Beauty and the Beast.

If you've come here from the Unity Blog then you're in the right place!!  To keep hopping along for a chance to win some Unity goodness, here's the full hop list in order:
