How about a little inspiration before our next challenge?

We have a guest Unity Design Team member,
Lisa Arana today.
Lisa has really showcased some of our {ippity} stamps fabulously.
Love her style...let's take a moment to enjoy:

Lisa uses {ippity} pain and pride, 
look at this awesome paper piecing:

Lisa uses {ippity} time for...friends and wine 
and this one is so creative with the bottles:

Lisa uses {ippity} shine, shine, shine, and {ippity} The Best, 
what a great banner:



Lisa uses {ippity} shine, shine, shine
love this CAS look and her paper pieced bulbs:

and with Spring just around the corner (yes, I said that), I thought this one might stir up some ideas
Lisa uses {ippity} Sweet Thoughts of Spring
...isn't this a cute magnet?

If you have a moment, please feel free to visit Lisa's blog at
and let her know you enjoyed her marvelous inspiration!

Thank you Lisa for allowing us to share your {ippity} goodness!

Rona Mallard
Jackson, Missouri



Here's a little bit about Rona: Hi, I'm Rona and I have been crafting for many years. I started scrapbooking about 16 years ago and stamping shortly after.  I "found" Unity stamps almost 3 years ago and have not looked back (seriously I have not purchased any other brand of stamps since)!!!!!  I love being an Ippity Chick and sharing this amazing hobby with others!!  I celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary this summer and my amazing husband and I have two gorgeous daughters.  My oldest will be getting married in April!!  I work full-time at an Autism Center.  Life can be crazy busy but crafting is my calming - relaxing - stress reliever!!

(challenge week of November 3 to November 9)

Barbara Bruder
Villa Hills, Kentucky



Here's a little bit about Barbara:
"I have been stamping for 15+ years.  Yep, and it all started when I walked into a stamp store.  The rest, as they say, is history.  Having owned my own rubber stamp store, I have dealt with various stamp companies, and {ippity} stamps are among the best.  They are deeply etched stamps and the images are great and so versatile.  I live in the Greater Cincinnati area and I am the only {ippity} chick in the tri-state area.  I would love to be your {ippity} chick, so stop by and visit me and my store."
