Hi my name is jeanie and i joined the Unity Artisita's this past summer. i have made a mixed media block using 2 of the stamps from our newest quote set.

i also added miracles happen everyday that i created to the front of my journal cover.  I also created a tag and i plan to create tags with all the quotes so i can but a different one up every week of 2014....in fact i think i will do a tutorial here on my blog as i make them next year to share with you. i love a good quote and i think this set would be a great jump start for this project along with some of the quotes i already have like from this set the-strongest-people
