GIU Day 1


This week is all about Unity stamp and what I like about the,  I am this weeks GIU girl "Growing In Unity.  I will share my art each day for 5 days and my also my thoughts on Unity Stamp company.

Here is the exciting part.  If you comment on my blog site you will have the chance to win  25 random stamps from Unity!  Yes that is correct, 2 random winners from the comments on the blog at the end of the week will receive 25 random stamps from Unity stamp company. 

So here we go... GIU Day '!'.

I have never considered my self whimsical when stamping.  Although I love ferries I buy them but have a hard time actually using them.  I always think stardust, moonlight and stars, which is not usually my style.  However, when I got the Unity Ferry stamp all of the sudden I could think of an adventure that was not about stardust but about inspiration, which is more my style.

I like to inspire and remind women of their strength, for we are a force of nature.  Nothing can stop us.  We must dream big and go after our goals.  That is what my GUI week will be about. The inner strength of women.

When I reflect on this card I see a fairy who is a gathering in the woods to provide for her family, but knowing she is powerful and not only beautiful.  She is understanding the dream of what will become her future.

I know that is so overboard, but that is just how the Gigi Zone operates.  I hope this makes you imagine what your future could be.



Don't forget to comment for your chance to win!

    1. EEK, you didn't mention who makes the paper, or the name of the pad of paper. Do you remember the details? I'm sure others are interested, also. THANKS
