GROWING IN UNITY - DAY 1

I hope everyone had as much fun during National Scrapbook Day weekend as I did. I just got back from a three 1/2 day retreat with my LSS, Cat's Creations Scrapbooks. we had so much fun!! Non-Stop fun, classes, make-n-takes, food, merchandise to purchase (which we did), and so very much fun and craziness. I am a scrapbooker at heart and was thrilled when Angela came out with the SMAK kit of the month. So this week, I am going to feature them in a mini album I made for the Ali Edwards "Week in the Life" project. This is the cover, featuring paper by Simple Stories and Fancy Pants. Love the vintage-ness of this collection. I used the clock stamp from The Time Is Now kit from Unity Stamp Co.com.

I was going to post the next page but I'm having computer issues...or maybe because I'm exhausted from all of the fun this past weekend. Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win a Unity prize.

WORDS TO LIVE BY

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you!
