Hi everyone.....I know every month we say how each month that is our favorite kit and I am going to say it again! THIS KIT ROCKS!

Ok so here is a few things I created....I just {heart} this shadow box...it is so fabulous...when I saw it I knew exactly what I wanted to do...I used teh Kaiser kraft Up, up and away line and the wonderful Fabscraps sign in the kit. I also used the terrific water color paints to paint the shadow box, the KAsier wood flower and the sign....look at that shimmer!

the flowers and 'family' are from my stash

I also created a few layouts

'For Up on Daddy's Shoulders' I wanted to keep the design simple and really focus on the photo. To add some contrast I inked the edges of each paper, and the butterflies.

here is a close up of those awesome manor house flowers

I just adore the colors in the KAsier papers...soft without being overtly feminine. I think they were perfect for the photo of my Godson...I cut the bird out of one of the tags, made a few flowers and voila!

June GCT! Gabrielle Pollacco!

OH MY GOSH - Do we have a great surprise for all of you this month ... wanna know? We have brought Gabrielle over the border for the month of June as our Guest Designer! Yes we did !! Now, we all know anything she touches turns to a magic and what she has done with the Kit this month will blow your socks off .. but you will have to wait till the 3rd of June to see ..

I am still in awe that we have captured her ... and without further delay may I present the one and only Gabrielle Pollacco ... ( PS do not forget to congratulate her on her first scrapbook cover - what an accomplishment!





My name is Gabrielle Pollacco, I live in Cambridge, Ontario (Canada). I
started scrapbooking about 7 years ago and fell in love with this art form from
the very first page I made. I love that this art form is ever changing and find
myself constantly inspired by all the wonderful new products that come out each
year. My favourite thing to scrap about is my family, my dear husband and my two
girls, as well as my extended family.

I've had the honour to be on a number of wonderful design teams over the
years, some of my past design teams being Daisy D's and Zva Creative and am
presently on the Bo Bunny, Webster's Pages, Dusty Attic, The Color Room and
Scrap 365 Magazine (UK Magazine). I've had my work published in Memory Makers
Magazine, Creating Keepsakes Magazine and Scrapbooking & Beyond Magazine as
well as a number of online magazines. I worked for a Tradeshow Design company as
a project manager before I had my babies and now that I'm a stay at home mom I'm
fortunate enough to have a little time to enjoy this amazing hobby.


I'm delighted to have been asked to be a Guest Designer for Flying Unicorn
and join in with the talented group of designers here for this month!


Gabi xx
