Hip Hop Hangover...even though I didnt hip hop much


Good Morning!
I hope you checked out Hip Hop Thursday for Unity on SCS yesterday!! Angela went live two times yesterday straight from Unity Headquarters!!! So awesome! She is so sweet and generous!


There was two hip hop card challenges posted during Hip Hop yesterday and I didnt get to play yesterday so here are my cards today. One was a bling card..dew drops, rhinestones, etc. The other was a 2 layer Christmas card, a base and one other layer. I added a little white layer behind my red one so I cheated a little.
Head over to Angela's blog to see the list of HHH participants! Angela made a stamp set all herself! It is soo cute! Click the Unity link on the right hand side of my sidebar and go look at the Unity Stamp Company, look under products, then new releases!
Better post this now!
Happy HHH day!!
