SCS Challenges

I entered two challenges over at SplitCoastStampers. After entering them into the challenge, I then took them and entered into the Unity Showcase where they offer a random drawing prize to someone who has entered into that weeks challenges and then posts their entries into their forum thread... I really like Unity Stamps, which are the stamps I used on the following two cards:
