Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving! I was supposed to be posting today with a winner but I didn't have ANY entries!! :( So how about 1 more week to show me what you did with your new Ippity kits. I know somebody would like to win some FREE stamps!! Comment here with a link to your creation or on the original contest post (or send me an email). Happy Stamping!

Black Friday Friends with Flair

How about Brown & Blue Friday Friends with Flair instead?! I am happy to have stayed out of the crazy shopping this morning and made a card and did some laundry instead! Check out the ippity blog if you haven't already - there is a design team call!! And if you don't have some of these fab ippity stamps yet - EMAIL me I can get you started!! Have a great day whatever you're doing. It is hard to see the glittery embossing powder on my snowman - but this is my card for the cuttlebug challenge #59.

Thank You for stopping by

the Craft Show - it was soooooo much fun to see so many people I hadn't seen in so long!! Getting to catch up was the highlight of my weekend. And to all of you who also purchased the Fun New Ippity Stamps I hope you are loving them as much as I am!!! I promised a CONTEST so here we go... show me what you have done with your new stamps (you can upload to splitcoast stampers and use the keyword ippity) or just load to your blog or other site and then give me the link in the comment section here. If you do not have a way to upload it send it to me by email and I will link it here. You have until next Sunday, November 29th to send me the comment with your link. Wanna know what you will win? How about this adorable set from Unity Little Me. Even if you do your card using the sample that was in your kit that is totally fine - I just want to see what you have done!! HAVE FUN!!

I have also seen some other fabulous inspiration using these stamps so I thought I would share a few links so you can be inspired as well!! Kim Bell made these adorable little bags! Love this adorable card and this one that Heather Rolin made using Simply Home (and I still have this kit in stock!!) Heather also made this clever card using Devoted (which I love and am reordering today!!) the branch is a tree isn't that perfect!! Love it!

Happy Stamping!

More samples from the Ippity Kits!!

Today is the day!! Craft Show Day!! I am super excited and a little nervous. If everyone loves this great new line of stamps from Unity as much as I do it will be an amazing show! I have more projects that were used in the Kits I put together for the show. The first 5 are using my favorite stamps Devoted!

I worked on this layout until 12:30 last night :) I LOVE this set as well Life's Little Moments - it is perfect for scrapbooking. I wish I would have had time to put my pictures on the layout. It will have a 5 x 7 black and white picture on the right side and 3 small photos on the left side. These stamps are amazing they stamp up so nice even on textured paper!! Click on any of the pictures for a better view.

Who's Ready for a CRAFT SHOW?!?

Okay, so I am definitely not ready but I have a start!! These fun bags will make a great little gift and for those who like to give a gift card or ornament - this would make that gift even SWEETER!! I used the new Ippity stamps on this first bag (the stamps will also be available for sale at the show!!) Click on the Ippity Blinkie over on the right to see all the sets available. I will be at the Bavarian Hall (which is right by the Drury Inn between Jackson and Fruitland) this Friday 5-9, Saturday 9-6 and Sunday 9-3!! I hope to see you THERE!!!
Please click on any photo to see it more clearly.

The items I am most excited about are my Ippity Kits!! I have taken these fabulous new stamps from Unity's new line Ippity and put them in kits with paper, embellishments and IDEAS!! You will receive a fabulous set of stamps and at least $10 worth of additional products to get you started all for the retail price of the Stamps (or less)!!! It's like getting all the paper and embellishments FREE!! This is what I came up with for the "Just Wanted to Say" Kit. You will have enough "stuff" in this kit to make at least one but of all of these cards - and much, much more!!




And I'm putting this fun little card in here just to show what I did with my last month's KOTM from Unity. I truly love these stamps and this company! I may have this for sale at the show as well. (I can't decide I may want to send this to my niece for her birthday because she does definitely rock!! LOL) I will be bringing lots of cards to sell to help raise money for a ministry project that I am supporting!


Take a peek back here on Friday - because I hope to have lots more examples of the kits!! and then you will want to run (not walk) out to the Bavarian Hall!!!

Lots of cards to share with my Unity Friends with Flair

I made several of these cards using this lovely poinsettia from Hodge Podge of Happiness & the quote from Bright & Merry Winter Wishes. Printed paper is Cosmo Cricket and cardstock is Lasting Impressions. On the next card I "missed a little with my stamp so I punched a little heart and stamped on it and placed it over my mess up and it "saved" my card!! I think it turned out super cute - can you tell I was fixing a mistake?

I LOVE how these turned out and they were super easy!! This stamp is also from Bright & Merry Winter Wishes - I'll be using it for years to come I love it!! Printed paper is Fancy Pants.
Don't you just love this quote from last month's KOTM!! I haven't used it nearly enough yet!! Paper is Sassafras.
I think this one is my favorite!! I love these stamps from September's KOTM and it was such and easy card to make!! I love using black and brown and I think it worked on this card with the distressing and stitching. And who doesn't love a little sparkle with some stickles!?!
Another super duper easy card. I think I made 3 of these this week and have already sent out two!!
Had to use the new scrapbook kit Capture Life!! I love these scrapbook kits!! I haven't scrapbooked anything YET but look how cute it is for a card!!
And last but not least are some sympathy cards. I had to send out 4 this week :( It seems as though my prayer list gets longer and longer the closer we get to Christmas!!

Have a great weekend everyone!! Some of these cards will be for sale at the Bavarian Hall next weekend during the craft show. All the cards I sell will "add to" a ministry project I am supporting!! I will also have Ippity stamps at the craft show :) See two posts down if you would like to see the sets available.

Unity Friends with Flair

I haven't had time to spend a lot of time on fun cards lately - the programs for Mindi's wedding are almost done (I should have put a picture on here - maybe tomorrow if I have time after I get them all done!!) The wedding is tomorrow - the weather is supposed to be beautiful and as far as I know everything is falling into place!! Michaella wants me to help her with her "maid of honor speech" after the rehersal tonight!! and Mindi is spending the night with us so WOW nothing like coming down to the wire right!!!

These two cards use my favorite stamp from Unity's Hodge Podge of Happiness I just love that poinsettia and how it looks so perfect with this paper from Cosmo Cricket!! Have a great weekend!
