Ann Butler Designs Unity Stamp Company Blog Hop

My designer friend, Ann Butler, has created her very own line of rubber stamps with Unity Stamp Company!  I am so very excited to be a part of the hop!

If you would like to order some of these high quality unmounted rubber stamps there is a 50% off coupon deal offered by Unity for anyone ordering Ann's stamps between Thursday May 2 - Monday May 6 at midnight CST. Make sure to give the coupon code- Unity5.  Use this link to view the entire line of Ann Butler Designs Stamps!

In order to celebrate Ann's stamp release, she is hosting a blog hop, so hop around to see all of the uniquely inspiring projects created with these fun stamps.

These stamps are fun and easy to work with because everything is sized in 1" squares, 2" squares and triangles, so everything coordinates and fits together perfectly.  I definitely love quilting, but do not have the patience or skill to actually make one, but with these stamp sets you can create a "quilt" on any project you can imagine!

Now, on to my project!
