Hip Hop Thursday!

It's Hip Hop Thursday again! Is it just me or did this week just fly by?!? I can't believe it's Thursday ALREADY! Be sure to check out the Unity website for the newest releases and latest happenings.

I was really excited to work with Unity's newest release Beach Days & Sun Rays (UK-359A) this week. Of course our weather here in New Jersey right now is the complete OPPOSITE of these beach layouts but I am just counting the days until winter is over. I am so DONE with cold weather! Brrrr ....

My first layout uses the adorable sandcastle, sun, and "day at the beach" images from the kit.


Every year my family rents a house down in Ocean City, NJ for a week so that we can all be together and enjoy the beautiful Jersey shore. My boys really loved the beach this year and they are finally getting old enough where they can entertain themselves a bit playing in the sand while mommy ... wait for it ... RELAXES! *gasp*


I also used the adorable tag stamp from the Amazing Me (UK-154A) kit for a little hidden journaling behind my photo as well as the "pull" stamp from Our Life, Our Stories (UK-343A).



A few more detail shots of these adorable stamps!

My second layout uses the sweet umbrella and starfish stamp from the kit as well as an image from the January KOM.


This is my sweet little niece Una 2 years ago during one of our Ocean City vacations - isn't she just a doll? I found this awesome new collection of papers from Making Memories called Chloe's Closet at my local Michael's store the other day and thought they were perfect for this layout.


Tell me that umbrella stamp is not the cutest thing you've ever seen! I LOVE it!


I used one of Unity's newest alphabets Just My Type for part of my title - I LOVE the versatility of this alphabet - such a classic font!

Well that's a wrap for me today. Now head on over to my gal Renee's awesome blog for even more Hip Hop eye candy!
