Let's get to know JenMarie: I was born and raised in Louisiana. Two years after getting married my DH and I moved to Illinois. A gal from the church we were going to invited me to a stamping workshop and I thought ~ well, I'll go so I can meet people.
Um, yeah... the rest is history! I met peeps AND found an AMAZING hobby!
We moved to Georgia four years ago and thanks to stamping and the internet/SCS I've made some amazing friends online and found IPPITY!
I'm hoping to meet MORE stamping peeps now that I have {ippity}!!

Jenny Johns
Phoenix, AZ



Here's a little bit about Jen: Happy {ippity} December!  It’s Jenny Johns here and I want to be YOUR {ippity} chick!
I have been an {ippity} chick ever since Unity Stamp Co started this program and I looooove my {ippity stamps!  The images are so crisp and clear and the Unity artistas have given us some fabulous sets to ‘bee-lieve’ in!  I live in the sunny state of Arizona and mainly do my stamping in the evenings, after work.  I work in finance, and am a part time taxi driver….LOL…I mean a taxi driver for my 15 year old son, that is!  And YES, he will get his license in January and I am so excited ‘cause then I won’t have to do things around his schedule!  I hope you can come join me in this sketch challenge, and I’ve created a gift bag for some inspiration.

Here's what Noelle shared with us: Hi, my name is Noelle Reese.  I live in Denver, Colorado with my husband of 15 years and our 2 daughters Morgan and Carlee.  I am completely addicted to Unity!  They are my all time FAVORITE stamp company, so I knew becoming a Chick was my only option.  I have been stamping and scrapping since 1996!  The quality of these stamps is the very best!  I try to ship orders out the same day.  For my day job I go to the post office every day.  I would LOVE to be your {ippity} chick!  I guarantee you will love these stamps!  Also, if you love to emboss, these are the stamps for you!
