Unity Hop and a Goodbye

Hello hello sweet Unity friends!!

Happy Thursday :D

It's Unity hop time once again, and you know what that means, SALE time!

But before we get to the fun hop stuff, I have some sad news..

You've probably noticed that there's been just about nothing going on on my blog lately. Well, I've got quite a bit of big stuff going on in life right now that has taken me away from this blog. And while I do want to go into more detail (which I will do soon! I'll have a catch up post very soon, promise!), I will spare you for today and just let you know that I have made the immensely tough decision to step down from the Unity design team :(

I can't tell you how much I have LOVED being on this team, and how AMAZING these sweet ladies are! I can't say thank you to Angela enough for giving me such an amazing opportunity! When I joined this teamed I never imagined the huge life changes that would be happening just 6 months later. So, because I want the Unity DT to be full of nothing but amazing ladies giving 110% to this wonderful company, I decided to step down and allow my spot to be filled by someone with more time than I have to give right now. BUT, know that this is not goodbye! It's a see you later. I will be keeping in close touch with all of the wonderful ladies at Unity!

Ok, ok, enough sap, on to the fun!

If you're just coming by today, be sure to stop by the Unity blog to start the hop! For today's card I used a recent Stamp of the Week. Check it out:

And now, for this week's awesome SALE!

AND, as always, be sure to leave a comment on EVERY stop along the hop for a chance to win an amazing Unity prize!

Alright sweet friends, it's time to hop on over to Erin's blog.

Have a wonderful day!

Season's Givings Blog Hop

Hey everyone!

Happy New Year!! I am SO excited to be kicking off the new year by participating in the second annual Season's Givings Blog Hop! You should have arrive here from Stephanie Muzzulin's blog!

This awesome hop was started as a way to say THANK YOU to our amazing followers for all your love and support throughout the past year. And what better way to say thank you than with giveaways?! That's right my friends, there's a giveaway at EVERY stop along the hop! Holy moly that's a lot of crafty goodness!

As you all know, the holidays are a crazy busy time for all of us, so I apologize but I didn't whip up a big shiny new project for you guys :( BUT I thought it would be fun to do a little year in review!

First, if you're just meeting me, I'd love if you'd stop by my very first blog post this year and read a little about me.

And, new follower or not, I'd like to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you for sharing in these big moments from the past year:

Winning the Unity creative contest

Joining the Sweet Stamp Shop design team

Joining the Unity design Team

The launch of Alyssa Lea Designs

NONE of these things would have been possible without YOUR support!

AND here are a few of my favorites cards from the last year:

Ok sweet friends, I HOPE that makes up for my lack of a new card!!
