OWH! Midweek Throwdown

I had to take some time to participate in the OWH mid-week throw down.  It was to make a Mother's Day card.  So I did!  I made a few of these for my box that I sent to OWH.  Can I just tell you that I had a super warm fuzzy feeling all day yesterday in preparation to send the box and was super pumped after I actually sent it on it's way!  If you are looking for a warm fuzzy feeling I highly suggest sending some cards--or maybe even a check to help out with postage!  I already have my next box started.

Paper: SU! and DCWV

Stamps: Ippity by Unity

Colored with a Copic marker

Chick Challenge #19

Well...so far no snow yet here in MN...but they are predicting lots and lots.  I am hoping the snow bypasses us completely!  But we shall see.  I did find some time however to do some stamping.  Hello LOVE this new stamp from the Ippity collection from Unity.  And I knew it would be the perfect stamp to use for my card for the sketch challenge over with the love chicks at the Chicks challenge with Ippity blog.

The Deets:

Paper: Mostly SU! and DSP I believe is MME

Ribbon: $Tree

Stamp: Unity!!  Ippity Itty Bitty

Chick Challenge #13

Why on earth are the simple cards the hardest to make?  I love this sketch but I just could not create a card that looked decent.  Ugh... if I cut out 3 hearts I bet I cut out 30 until I was satisfied with the color-- and well I am still not really sure I like the polka dot hearts.  But regardless I am linking this up with the Chick Challenge #13.  If you don't have an Ippity stamps-- well you need some :)

Chick Challenge!

It is time for another Ippity Chick Challenge.  Love the challenge this week!  Soooo fun!  I love my new Ippity set and I can't wait to find out more about the changes that are happening in the Ippity/Unity world :)  I love that I can now purchase them right from Unity-- NOT that my Unity gal didn't rock my socks off...perhaps she will remain my chick-- guess I will have to do some research!

Loads of Love-chick challenge #11

Happy Wednesday everyone! Hope you're all having a great day.  I hope you love the card I have created for the 11th Chick Challenge.  If you've not stopped by and pulled out your Ippity stamps to play you totally should!  Chick Challenges with Ippity is one of my favorite places to stop by daily!  Love to see how creative soooooo many people are!  Love it.  Hope you enjoy my card-- love this set.  It's called Loads of Love!

I am also starting to keep myself accountabe and I want to make a goal to send 100 cards to OWH so I am going to use a counter on my blog to keep me a little bit more accountable!  So I have some cards ready to go but I am going to start my counter over fresh today!  And this card will go in the box. I hope the twine on the side won't be an issue-- please if I have any OWHers who see this-- please let me know if that makes the card too bulky!

Chick Challenge #9

Hi friends!  Hope you're having a lovely weekend.  It's been a long weekend here as we had a friend who was quite ill but he seems to be on the mend now-- so definitely hoping all continues to move forward in a positive healthy direction for him and he can be released from the hospital soon.  I did find some time to do a little bit of stamping today and decided to try out Challenge #9 at Chick Challenges with Ippity.  I must admit I love me some Ippity stamps! well and I love me some Unity stamps too :)  Hope you enjoy my take on the sketch challenge. I even made my own background paper!

I can't believe it's only Tuesday...ugh all day I kept thinking it was Wednesday...but alas it's Tuesday.  I found some time tonight to enter one of my favorite challenges.  I simple had to join my friends over at  Ippity Chick Challenge.  This week's sketch challenge was super challenging for me... I kept looking at it but was never able to get a card put together.  I hope you like what I ended up creating!

Friday!! Whooooo hoooo!!

It's finally Friday... but I must say this week went by super fast!  I am soooo far behind on quite a few things it's almost maddening!  I am hoping I can catch up this weekend.  I've spent far too much time on pinterest that's for sure...and well my bestie spends too much time on there as well...so tonight I made laundry detergent.  Yep...you heard me :) 
I did also take some time tonight to make a couple of cards-- one I will be posting here is from my newest Ippity by Unity set...ummmm hello it's super cute.  My wonderful friend Jen sent it to me for my birthday-- super sweet huh!  And thanks all to her I am now fully aware of what Unity is and how super great it is... before I met her I didn't own one single Unity stamp...ummm well I can assure you all that that has changed!  I of course had to join my own fabulous friends at Unity for Friday's Friends with Flair!  I hope you take some time to peek at all the other awesome cards!

On a sad note...well not too terribly sad... I had planned to add this card to my OWH box...but I got a little carried away in my crafting and added glitter :( boooo glitter is a HUGE OWH no-no!  So I will simply have to create another one sans the glitter.  Okay enough rambling!

Yay!  It's Thursday and that means it's time for an Ippity Chicks Challenge!  Pull out your Ippity stamps and join in the fun...and believe me it's so fun.  If you aren't familiar with Ippity... I recommend that you check them out too-- Ippity is a Unity company--sooooo fab!  Love their stamps.  This stampset was just released last Saturday and I had to ink it up...tooo darn funny!  I love the sentiments that came with this set.

Wine Time

Good Morning friends!  I had to create a card quick before getting on the road and I "had" to use the sketch at Chicks Challenge with Ippity.  It was a lot of fun!  I love having a sketch to go off of it helps me not to stick with the same sketch over and over :)  I adore this new stamp set from Ippity---super cute!  If you don't have an Ippity chick please let me know and I can highly recommend one for you--she's awesome!  I'd couldn't fit a sentiment on like I planned but I do enjoy how this turned out.  I think the cork was a great idea ;)  hehe!

Chick Challenge #2

Friends...ovals are NOT my friends!  I had a really hard time creating this card... I apparently do not mesh well with ovals!  But I had to use an oval...well had to is a bit extreme but I wanted to so I can join the other chick over at Chick Challenges!  If you've not checked out these chicks I highly recommend you peep on over and see what all the fuss is about!  I didn't think I'd love new stamps as much as I love my Unity and Ippity stamps...oy!  They are sooooo much fun to use.  So pull out your Ippity stamps and join the fun!!

{Ippity} Challenge!

Hello blog friends!  I hope you are all doing well on this crazy windy day here in MN.  I think I've finally chat the ick that has been going around here for weeks!  My head feels like it weighs 9,000 pounds. So I haven't had much time to create-- soooo sad.  I did do a little blog surfing the last couple of days and if you've not checked out the new Ippity Challenge blog I highly recommend that you do so ....here check em out  Ippity Chicks Challenge! 

I have a new round love for Unity and Ippity too!  I decided to play with the Ippity Chicks and because it's Friday...that means it's a Unity Friends with Flair.

Loads of Love...

Love this new stamp!  My super creative, talented and generous friend Jen sent me this cutie!  It arrived in the mail today and I just couldn't resist inking it up.  I again used some watercolor paper and did some watercoloring with my aqua painter.  I am quite pleased with how it turned out.  And you will also notice...no twine was injured in making this card :)  I wish I was a super photographer...that way I could capture the sparkly pen I used on the iron--lots so fun in real life!
