Authentique & Unity Blog Hop


Welcome to Day 1 of the Authentique Paper & Unity Stamp Co blog hop! If you came here from the Unity blog, you're on the right track! Make sure you hop along with us today and tomorrow (leaving unique comments along the way) for your chance to win some Authentique & Unity prizes! 


For my project I paired the Life is a Verb itty bitty from Unity with Authentique's Lively collection. This is probably my favorite collection to date from Authentique. I love the colors, and the overall theme of the collection just makes me happy. 

I used a photo of Sam (Authentique Paper's fearless leader) and myself from this past summer at CHA in Chicago.  I wanted to make a little altered canvas that I could display in my craft room. 


Now hop right along to see what the fabulous Eryn Hagen has in store for you! 

In case you get lost... here's today's hop order:
