Chick Challenge #26

Today is an exciting day for the {ippity} chicks-and you know we always like to share our excitement with you!  First off, today is the day when we can share {ippity}'s April release with you!  There are 4 fabulous new stamp sets-including some designed by one of our favorite Unity gals, Angie Blom!  The full release happens at 8 PM tonight (EST).  Here is a little sneak to make you drool: 

Not only can you see the full stamp sets at that time, but the chicks are also having a blog hop sharing projects made with this gorgeous new rubber!  This is a party you won't want to miss! :)

We have an amazing sketch for you today...one that uses uber-trendy chevrons as a major design element.  Our talented {ippity} chick put an elegant spin on this trend-wait 'til you see her project!  Welcome this week's

(challenge week of April 12th-18th)

Barbara Bruder

Villa Hills, KY

Barbara is so sweet-here's a little bit about her: My name is Barbara Bruder and I hail from northern Kentucky. Being an ippity chick, I love to show off the wonderful and diversified ippity stamps. {ippity} and Unity stamps are so well made and so vesatile and each line compliments the other. What a great find for me when I happened upon ippity and had the ability to become one of the select few chicks.I've been stamping for 15+ years and have a great time. What a wonderful way to express yourself, give inspiration to others and to give joy to a card recipent. Sign up to be a follower on my blogs and don't forget to visit my blogs for inspiration.
