Crafting is something I do especially for me and I find myself more creative when everyone in the house is asleep, I am a midnight crafter! ‘d love to be your {ippity} Chick and answer any questions you might have about {ippity}.

Chick Challenge #32~

The school year is just about over...one more day and it's summer vacation here where I live.  

Are your kids excited for summer vacation?

Come join this weeks' challenge and be inspired by our 

(challenge week of May 24th-30th)

Aletha J. Williams

Tulsa, Oklahoma

Let's get to know a little bit about Aletha...

 My name is Aletha Jane Williams and I live in Tulsa, OK, or better known as “tornado alley.”  I am a self-taught artist and am still in the process of learning. I have been in the graphic arts/print production industry for many years. When I started in the industry we created everything manually, no computers involved. My 15 year experience in the “crafting/art” world is rubber stamp art, mixed media, and collage. In 2009 I became disabled and cannot work outside the home. Now I can concentrate on my health and my art. My creations will always involve rubber or digi stamps. I am an obsessive collector of stamps. I feel like I am collecting little pieces of art that I can turn into my own art. When I discovered Unity, and then Ippity, I knew that these were little pieces of art that I had to have. I am honored to be your “Hot” Chick for this challenge. Now, let’s see what you can come up with!

Visit Aletha's creative blog for some amazing inspiration:

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

Crystal Cantu

Altadena, CA

Let's get to know our Hot Chick Crystal...

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.
