Hi again! Here we are with the weekly Unity Friends with Flair blog hop. You'll find the other participants HERE. Also, don't forget to visit the Unity website because there are lots of new post-CHA (Craft & Hobby Assn. show) goodies for sale now.
For FWF this week, I was inspired by a Die Cuts With a View (DCWV) stack that I recently picked up called "Playtime". Aren't patterned papers getting just so cute these days? The papers are so glittery and whimsical... I thought I'd make a summer mini album by cutting up a few sheets and adding little Unity images and sentiments. (A My Favorite Things cloud die came in real handy, too.) I positioned all the additions in such a way that cropped photos can be added to each page without a problem. (I even cut around that adorable flamingo so that the photo can tuck in behind him.) Lazy me, I just attached the pages to each other with one staple from Tim Holtz' Tiny Attacher. After you browse the pictures below, check out how you can get a chance to win this album! *smile*

Pages 1 & 2:
Pages 3&4:

Pages 7&8:
I had lots of ideas for more pages but ran out of time... but see how you can take patterned papers and cheat a little? Let their art shine and just embellish! *smile*
Now, here are all the sets I used (with links) in this album.
