Lisa Wallace

Lansing, MI

We've been lucky enough to have Lisa sponsor our challenge before, but we have gained lots of new followers, so let's chat a bit more with Lisa:  Hiya! Michigan checking in....I'm happy to be your Lansing based {ippity} connection! :) Why {ippity}? They speak to me! No, I'm not mental..the {ippity} line of stamps is totally fabulous, and completely filled with possibility! I foster for a local all-breed dog rescue, and live with an assortment of furballs...schnauzers most definitely represented here! All of my {ippity} endeavors go to support the "stuff" that my fosters need that the rescue can't provide....toys, treats, any special food....love and snuggles handed out for free!

Visit Lisa's blog for some fabulous inspiration:

AND Your friendship-my cup of tea!  What an AMAZING PRIZE PACK!

Play along with Lisa's challenge to use {Ippity} and/or Unity stamps

to create a project based on this sketch (CC24):

Chick Challenge #23

Happy spring, {ippity} fans!  I hope you are enjoying some warm spring weather where you are.  We are enjoying 80+ degree weather here in Maine right now-unseasonable, to say the least!  But we won't count on the warm temps sticking around just yet.  New Englanders know what I'm talking about!  Our sponsor this week probably knows exactly what I am talking about...meet this week's

Fairbanks, Alaska

Here's a little bit about Cheri: I am the only {ippity} Chick in the state of Alaska. My husband and I share our home with a furbaby named Lex. We are currently working on adopting a newborn to add to our family! I love lots of different kinds of crafts in addition to stamping. My day job is being a teacher, but in my spare time I like to read, knit, sew, crochet, cook and spend time relaxing with my hubby. I first started using Unity stamps in 2009 and have been hooked ever since!

Chick Challenge #22

Welcome back, {ippity} lovers!  Since our last challenge, {ippity} has had a new release, and the chicks are so EXCITED about it!  Some seriously cute and wonderful images-all with the great quality that you know and LOVE!  In case you haven't seen the new sets, here are all 5:

I know-adorable, right?  Adorable is a great word for our sponsor this week, too! (Hee hee!)  We are so proud to introduce you to this week's

(challenge week of March 15th-21st) 

Andrea Cloutier

Sunrise, Florida

 

Let's find out more about Andrea:

I absolutely love Ippity and Unity stamps! I’ve been an Ippity Chick since the beginning, knowing that this was a great opportunity to express my love of stamping and using different techniques. Working full-time as a Mechanical Engineer allows a limited amount of creative fun stamping time, so I often stamp images before I go on a business trip and color them while I’m on the plane! I absolutely love sketches – please enjoy this week’s choice as I think it offers lots of room for everyone to express their creativity. 

Have a wonderful & fun week! 

Stampingly Yours, Andrea 

Visit Andrea's personal blog and {ippity} store for some fabulous inspiration:

You could win a fabulous {ippity} prize from Andrea, just for playing along:

ANY Ippity stamp set 

(with free domestic US shipping, OR $5 shipping anywhere else in Canada or International)

Chick Challenge #21

Good morning, {ippity} fans!  If you are counting the days until spring (less than 2 weeks!), then you are going to LOVE this week's sketch and inspiration project!  It just SINGS spring!  First, let's meet our brand new

(challenge week of March 8th-14th)

Jen Mitten

Dallas, Texas

Want to know more about Jen?  I am the only Ippity Chick in Dallas but I am originally from Boston.  I married a little later in life and have a wonderful husband, and an incredible stepson and daughter-in-law.  I've been a stamper for nearly three years now, ever since I stumbled on a Memorial Day blog hop for Operation Write Home and started seeing everything a person could make with stamps.   On that blog hop, I found Unity and the rest is history. I never considered myself an artist but I feel like one when I am stamping!  When Angela announced Ippity, I knew I wanted to be part of it.  I told my husband I would buy stock if it went public.  Now he probably figures we own it outright since our house has so many Unity and Ippity stamps in it!

Visit Jen's personal blog for some fabulous inspiration:
 http://jenmitten.blogspot.com/

You could win a fabulous {ippity} prize from Jen, just for playing along:

 {ippity}'s Sweet Thoughts of Spring Set!

Play along with Jen's challenge to use {Ippity} and/or Unity stamps

to create a project based on this sketch (CC21):
