Chick Challenge Sketch #40!

Woohoo, get ready for our sketch challenge # 4 0 !!!

This week's Hot Chick is kind of a big deal 'cause she is celebrating a 'PRE'-40th birthday too!

So who is our...

(challenge week July 19th to July 25th)

It's 

Maria Levine

Fairfield, CT

She really is a birthday girl!

Go visit her blog and tell her 
Happy Happy Birthday!

Maria is no stranger as a sponsor and we certainly enjoy having her here!

  In case you are new to Chick Challenges, here is a little bit about Maria:  

Hey there!  It's Maria Levine here this week as your {ippity} chick sponsor this week.  I am a SAHM to twins a boy and girl who just turned 6.  I have been stamping for about 12 years now and have loved every minute of it.  I was thrilled to have found Unity a few years back and even more thrilled when they started {ippity}.  I'm proud to say that I am an {ippity} chick and always proud to support all things {ippity} and Unity!  I would love to be your {ippity} chick!  Come follow me on my blog: Ria Creations  and join my Facebook fan page.

Visit Maria's blog for some fabulous inspiration:

Don't you love how that lace border gives this card some 'wow'!
