Crystal Cantu
Altadena, CA



Here's what Crystal shared: I am originally from Amarillo, TX but moved to Pasadena, CA in 2003 with my wonderful fiance.  I love southern CA but really miss Texas.  I got into scrapbooking after my son, Isaac, was born in 2005.  I took a cardmaking class at my local scrapbook store in 2008 and have been hooked ever since.  I work full-time as an office manager for a family practice physician.  I am also very involved in fundraising for my son's school and in my son's love for soccer.  I absolutely love crafting and all the wonderful people I have met along the way.

Joan Anderson
Kent, Washington


Here's a little bit about Joan:  I have loved crafting since I was a child; so when I was invited to a stamping party over 15 years ago, I was immediately hooked!  I have been stamping and scrapbooking ever since.  I was born and raised in Seattle, and still work and live in the area.  I am a CPA working in the technology industry, and my husband owns a local pet store... and we of course have just a few little furry friends living with us.  Thus the name of my crafting blog - tails in the stamp room - I always have lots of help from our little friends!  Stamping is my creative outlet and relaxation - and I love sharing it with others.  I am so glad you are joining me in our Ippity Chick Challenge this week!

You can see lots of fabulous inspiration here on Joan's blog:

Chick Challenge #12

Happy New Year and welcome to our first '2012' Sketch Challenge! 
Thank you for coming by and starting your 2012 with us.  To bring in the New Year, we have an awesome chick who is fantastic with her {ippity} stamps.  She is our latest 

(challenge week of January 5th to January 11th)

Jennie Kaderabek
Edgerton, Wisconsin
Jennie Kaderabek

Let's get to know Jennie:  so glad to be the Chick of the Week! I'm Jennie, a long time rubber stamper and scrapbooker. I've recently expanded my crafting to knitting and crocheting. Sadly, my paper craft time has been minimized! My family includes my husband of 11 years, Chad, and 4 1/2 year old twins, Chloe and Connor. I'm at home full-time with my twins, but was a registered nurse in ICU and cardiovascular surgery before becoming a mother. 


Crafting is my sanity, and I'm so glad to share a bit of mine with you! Since my craft time has been used up with knitting gifts for Christmas, I thought a yarn related project, using the sketch, would be fitting. I made a knit journal to keep track of my completed yarn projects. Please check my blog after Thursday for more information!

Please drop by Jennie's blog to see her fabulous projects (and leave her some love!):  http://jenniekader.blogspot.com/

You can get your very own {ippity} here at Jennie's Etsy Shop:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/JavaJennie

This week's prize from Jennie:
A $20 credit to use on Jennie's {ippity} Etsy Shop!

Play along with Jennie's challenge to use ONLY {Ippity}stamps
to create a project based on this sketch (CC12):

Jennie created this fabulous colorful journal from this sketch, and I adore how she used various pattern papers and yarn to surround and highlight our {ippity} stamps!
