Congratulations!!!
Fun, right? I LOVE pattern paper! I have bags and bins of scraps I can't throw away and try to use each month, but it keeps growing. And this theme is great for using up those scraps. So, my biggest challenge is going to be "what" to use and "how" to use it.
So here's what I came up with...
Let's Get Started...
Card #1: Happy Birthday
Did you know Unity has it's own line of pretty pattern paper packs? They do! And it's gorgeous, thick, slick and good quality too! So, I decided I was going to use my Unity pattern paper (and scraps) to do some paper piecing for this months theme. And the Angiegirls line of Unity stamps are perfect!
Believe it or not, I just got this fabulous "Remi Girl" and couldn't wait to dress her up! Her sign and outfit are so fun to decorate for many occasions all year long!
A very sweet friend of mine is having a special birthday this month and she's sassy, classy, and almost always wears heels. So this card is perfect for her! I hope she likes it!

Card #2: Marvelous Whale
I continue with another Unity pattern paper pack (and scraps) to do some more paper piecing with this fun stamp set. I LOVE whales and I've had this set for a while and have never used it either. I know, crazy, right!?! So today is the day! It too is fun for many occasions.
I love how the big flower blooms on top mimic waves in the ocean and the whale blends into the sea. He almost looks transparent, but he was stamped separately on coordinating pattern paper, fussy cut, and popped up with foam tape to complete this unknown marvel.
Unity Other Side of Fear stamp set (whale & sentiment)
Unity Scallop & Rectangle (nesting dies)-I used large scallop die
