I have a couple more <a href="http://theunitystampco.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Unity WCMD challenge</a> cards. I pulled out some of my OLD FAVORITE stamps for these two. I used the Sept 2009 KOTM; Sept 2010 KOTM & May 2011 KOTM!! The first card is for the Color Challenge and the second card is for the Texture challenge.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M3pcl-It48M/UHnnNdTPNFI/AAAAAAAAC2M/28UsjBmVdiM/s1600/013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M3pcl-It48M/UHnnNdTPNFI/AAAAAAAAC2M/28UsjBmVdiM/s400/013.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

Today I was inspired by <a href="http://closeyourears.blogspot.com/2012/07/hard-core-crop-challenge.html" target="_blank">Ellen's Pinterest challenge.</a> I am so ADDICTED to Pinterest!! and a new favorite board... <a href="http://pinterest.com/coredinations/hard-core-projects/" target="_blank">Hard Core Projects!!</a> </div><div style="text-align: center;">This is the<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/163044448980325630/" target="_blank"> card</a> that inspired me</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8VY0jLYzjw8/UAr5q68gczI/AAAAAAAACfc/N8l2l3fTj_g/s1600/PinterestChallenge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8VY0jLYzjw8/UAr5q68gczI/AAAAAAAACfc/N8l2l3fTj_g/s1600/PinterestChallenge.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">and here is my take on it!! I adore this Simple Stories paper! And since Core'dinations has so many fabulous colors of cardstock it was easy to find some that looked great with the patterned paper. (I believe these are all out of the Tim Holtz Distress and Adirondack packs) </div><div style="text-align: center;">I used <a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/48-ippity-by-unity.aspx" target="_blank">Ippity set Now and Always</a> to stamp my flowers and leaves and then cut out and layered. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The card stands up on it's own because of the folds at the bottom of the flower pot. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The flowers pull out of the flower pot to write a note.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wamzp1FQMdc/UAr6ZrZdapI/AAAAAAAACfk/_GT7LEmPPvQ/s1600/017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wamzp1FQMdc/UAr6ZrZdapI/AAAAAAAACfk/_GT7LEmPPvQ/s400/017.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><br />

These cards are also for Michaella's collection to use at school. (I mean if you have to send a note home with a kid because of discipline issues wouldn't it be easier to take with a super cute card?!) Well at least I think so! LOL <a href="http://debbiestandard.blogspot.com/2012/07/happy-wednesday-day-two-of.html" target="_blank">Debbie's All Cardstock challenge</a> inspired me.<br />

I used all Core'dinations Kraft cardstock for this challenge. Love the kraft and the way it looks sanded!!! It is also perfect for the inside of a card because it is not too dark to write a note! I love it for fall cards! So I stamped up these adorable pumpkins from <a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/48-brand-new-ippity-6132012-pick-a-chick-shop.aspx" target="_blank">Ippity set Fall for You</a>. I cut out the large pumpkin layers 3 times and sanded the edges to give it a great shaded look. Then used pop up foam to give it a nice look. For the short pumpkin I cut out the center oval 4 times, sanded, folded in half and glued together to make this a 3-D pumpkin!! I added a little American Crafts ribbon (a little twine) and a few Prima Flowers to embellish. I sanded the orange top layer of cardstock then stitched it to my yellow and layered on top of the brown. The sentiment stamp is from <a href="http://unitystampco.com/shop/48-brand-new-ippity-6132012-pick-a-chick-shop.aspx" target="_blank">Ippity set Just Wanted to Say</a>.<br />

I have been helping my daughter (who is a first year teacher) with her classroom. We have made lots of fun things and I am wanting to make her a bunch of cards so she will have them on hand when she needs them for her students, etc. <a href="http://www.3dfoamandasandingblock.blogspot.com/2012/07/strip-it-challenge-hard-core-crop.html" target="_blank">Jennifer's "Strip It" challenge</a> inspired me and I came up with these cards. (I made 6 because teachers always need a few thank you's ready!!) <br />

I used strips of the Core'dinations Fancy Pants collection with this fabulous texture and sanded over the top to show off the texture. (all cardstock is Core'dinations) I added twine from the Twinery. And stamped the sun from <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/ippity-chicks/default.aspx" target="_blank">Ippity set Quotes a'la Happy</a> and the sentiment from <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/ippity-chicks/default.aspx" target="_blank">Ippity set Music of my Heart</a>.<br />

I just love features like that so you can see the same set used in lots of different ways!! So much fun. Here is my entry today for Born in my Heart. I used a ric rak die to cut the simple stories background paper several times. Then stitched it to the dark brown paper. Then I cut a heart (free-hand) from the simple stories quilt paper and inked up the edges. I used little cutouts from the same simple stories 6x6 pad and stamped my sentiment from the Ippity set on one and die cut using a spellbinders die. I colored my ribbon with a copic and added some cute little pins to finish it off.<br />
<br />
If you would like to order this set (or any other Ippity sets) you can email me or order straight from the <a href="http://unitystampco.com/ippity-chicks/default.aspx" target="_blank">Unity website</a> (and I would love it if you would choose me as your Ippity chick my picture is on the last row - in the middle!!) Have a great day!!<br />

<br />
I MADE time to play this week and I can't wait to see what everyone else created too!!<br />
<br />
I have two little cards using Unity Itty Bitty <a href="http://unitystampco.com/product/1448-let-the-spoiling-begin.aspx" target="_blank">Let the Spoiling Begin</a>. I have decided that when I make one card it's silly not to make at least two!! It doesn't take much longer and I never have enough cards when I need them!!<br />
<br />

I also made a layout yesterday. (no pictures on it yet but I know what I want to use!!) I made up 6 extras of these for kits and will be selling them (not put together - you do that part :) - if anyone is interested leave me a comment. I really love the Octagon/Hexagon's lately so I stayed pretty simple with that. I used SMAK kit <a href="http://unitystampco.com/product/1595-true-story-smak-mar-2012.aspx" target="_blank">True Story</a> on this one. <br />
<br />

I know great artists never have to explain their art - but since I am not a great artist I'm giving you my super deep, in depth, symbolic meaning for each step of my card! LOL<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qvJ3aGsW7xM/T6v9RaFcp8I/AAAAAAAACTw/ydiIyb7MxK4/s1600/011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="310" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qvJ3aGsW7xM/T6v9RaFcp8I/AAAAAAAACTw/ydiIyb7MxK4/s400/011.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>I <u>LOVE</u> this sentiment and believe it with all my heart! So I started with that. I cut it into a pretty shape from Spellbinders and then used Shimmerz Vibez in Blue Jean and a waterbrush to swipe color over the sentiment. I didn't feel like "splatter" reflected the "pain" but the soft swipes (some darker than others did). Next the butterfly. I colored mine with plain yellow because in the midst of pain we don't always feel multi-colored and beautiful...But a sparkle of hope is ALWAYS there! (the sparkle is red spica pen and then I spritzed the whole butterfly with Shimmerz Vibez in Egg Noggin). My hope is in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the patterned paper (Cosmo Cricket) in the background reminded me of lots of pretty picture frames which for this card symbolized snippets of painful situations from my past that Jesus has brought me through and that now I can look back and be reminded that I AM STRONGER because of it!!!<br />
<br />
OK if you made it this far, you can laugh or just think I am silly - but it felt very good making this card today and it really makes me happy looking at it!!<br />
<br />
Now have a fabulous time with the rest of the hop and don't forget that you can purchase all of these new stamps on the <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/ippity-chicks/default.aspx" target="_blank">Unity Website</a>. I would love for you to choose me, Rona Mallard as your Ippity chick and then have fun shopping!! Unity and Ippity can be ordered on the same order. And there are lots of fun new Unity stamps being released today too!!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bloomingpink.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Rebecca is next and I know she has something fabulous to share with you!!</a><br />
<br />
Enjoy.<br />

I love to just sit down and create without having to worry about 50 other things to do!! A rare and happy day :)<br />
<br />
So I have 3 cards to share today!!<br />
<br />
My first card is for the Paper a la Mode challenge at <a href="http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/saturdayscarpbookingchallenge/forum/topics/paper-a-la-mode-challenge-april-21-happy" target="_blank">The Outlawz!</a><br />
Our challenge this week is to use Happy on your card or project.<br />
I used the new Ippity stamps called Bloom & Simplify. LOVE these sets!!! The paper is from the Sugar Chic 6x6 pad by Heidi Swapp. I used my Tim Holtz Distress markers to color! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aqYD5ompnC4/T5MGdMw4H4I/AAAAAAAACSU/6St9A6JbSVM/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="368" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aqYD5ompnC4/T5MGdMw4H4I/AAAAAAAACSU/6St9A6JbSVM/s400/005.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
On the inside I used Ippity single Happy are Those. These Ippity stamps are available on the <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/shop/48-ippity-by-unity.aspx?pageindex=3" target="_blank">Unity Website</a>. {please click my name - Rona Mallard as your Ippity chick}<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IXzPNRLJ2L4/T5MH6KHLKgI/AAAAAAAACSc/p92jM4vgya0/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IXzPNRLJ2L4/T5MH6KHLKgI/AAAAAAAACSc/p92jM4vgya0/s320/003.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
My next card is for the Unity Kit of the Month Sketch challenge. <a href="http://theunitystampco-kotmsketch.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Click here</a> to see April's Sketch. I used Simple Stories Happy Day 6x6 pad and stamps from my March KOTM.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1senMLl9suA/T5MIGhEkVNI/AAAAAAAACSk/UZRtsvJRH3k/s1600/003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1senMLl9suA/T5MIGhEkVNI/AAAAAAAACSk/UZRtsvJRH3k/s400/003.JPG" width="307" /></a></div>
<br />
My last card is for the Unity Challenge - which is a color challenge to use Pink, Green and off-white. I choose my paper first - this one is from Cosmo Cricket Tea for Two 6x6 pad - perfect for the color challenge. And because this paper felt a little vintage I decided to use this great Unity set called <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/product/1110-for-the-record.aspx" target="_blank">For the Record</a>. And the sticker letters are from the Echo Park paper set that matches these stamps. <br />

We did a little bridal shoot this week and I can't show you everything but I have one little peek to share today.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SCmjP-qxh6o/T4T2Zev4XDI/AAAAAAAACRU/yMFgPBMmcrs/s1600/DSC_0539.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SCmjP-qxh6o/T4T2Zev4XDI/AAAAAAAACRU/yMFgPBMmcrs/s400/DSC_0539.JPG" width="265" /></a></div><br />
<br />
OK so are you ready for an Ippity Hop to CELEBRATE this fabulous new release!! I have to tell you Angie Blom is THE BEST!! She is so sweet and such a wonderful friend!! I couldn't be happier for her and her dreams coming true through Ippity and Unity!! I am so proud to have these stamps that she designed!! This is my FAVORITE new release!! I have worked on wedding stuff for several months (some days 12 and 14 hours A DAY!!) but I HAD to put it down and pick up these stamps for a bit!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-odMSNlCU0rY/T4Yzj9MTNFI/AAAAAAAACRk/OnrVbp-7H70/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-odMSNlCU0rY/T4Yzj9MTNFI/AAAAAAAACRk/OnrVbp-7H70/s400/001.JPG" width="331" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
I used watercolor paper for my base. Then stamped the floral stamp in glimmer glaze (Island Spring; Purple Passion and Wicked). After stamping the flowers I spritzed the entire thing with glimmer mist (Cherub Pink and Electric Blue). Then I stamped the girl (isn't she GORGEOUS) with black ink and then added some color to the dress using the same glimmer glaze. I used the twig Ippity stamp from the Sing a New Song set to stamp using the green glimmer glaze along the bottom. I stamped the sentiment with black ink. Then matted in black to finish. (finished size is 6x7). The real life picture is so glimmery and fabulous - I love it!! I may frame it or put it on a canvas later! Now check out all of these new RELEASES!! LOVE THEM DON'T YOU?!!! I can't wait til next week when I have time to give them all the attention they DESERVE!! <br />

I used one of the BRAND NEW release stamps for April - we can only show little snippets and not the full set but Oh My Goodness I am in LOVE with these new stamps!! Angie Blom designed them all and they are GORGEOUS!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T1FcnsRtpdA/T3Z-zfSqwlI/AAAAAAAACQo/RjMP047rjS4/s1600/006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-T1FcnsRtpdA/T3Z-zfSqwlI/AAAAAAAACQo/RjMP047rjS4/s400/006.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I realized (after) making an oval card - how hard it is to photograph!! Luckily my little neglected Easter bunny planter does not have a plant in it - so he held my card :) I used paper from indigo blue collection by LYB and my newest spellbinders die (can't think of the name). Check back on April 12th for the whole release and REMEMBER you can order Ippity stamps directly from the <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/ippity-chicks/default.aspx" target="_blank">Unity </a>website by clicking my name (Rona Mallard)!! And there is a fabulous sale going on right now!!<br />
<br />
Have a fabulous weekend!<br />

This week our challenge is a SNOW challenge (I always love at least one snow deep enough for some sled riding but it has been such a warm winter here in Missouri that I am beginning to wonder if that will happen for us.) <br />
<br />
The challenge is: S - stitching (real or faux)<br />
N - newest stamp you own (I used my <a href="http://unitystampco.com/product/13-kit-of-the-month.aspx">January Unity Kit of the Month</a>)<br />
O - Oval<br />
W - white space<br />
<br />

Thanks so much for all the sweet comments! Makes me want to blog everyday LOL - I have been very bad about that lately!! For my project today I made a shaped card using a spellbinders grand calibur die. I also used a new spellbinders die from <a href="http://blitsy.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/14700/%20">Blisy</a> (it was a GREAT Price) to make the black frame. I used my favorite scripture stamp from Ippity set <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/product/1041-devoted.aspx">Devoted </a>and the heart from Ippity set <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/product/1041-devoted.aspx">Straight from the Heart</a>. I used a red copic spica pen for some added glittery fun!!<br />

I used my <a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/product/13-kit-of-the-month.aspx">December Kit of the Month</a> for the sentiment which worked GREAT with these Ippity stamps.<br />
