Friday Friends with Flair

Time for another Friday Friends with Flair!  Right now, I am in Washington DC so let's hope my post appears today!

I have been working on numerous easy birthday cards - I have a DAR chapter of 277 and I decided that this year I would send each a card on their birthday.  I didn't realize how many people have birthdays in July!  This is the reason I have been so head over heels with the Simple Stories pinwheels. So easy to mass produce and they each look a bit different:-)

I hope you like them and I hope you all get to go on a July vacation:-)

Remember to buy some Ippity and select me as your chick....

P.S.  This is an older picture of me in DC - you can see the White House in the background:-)

TGIF!!!  I am on vacation now!!!  Here are some cards I made for my "graduating class" of DAR members who will be getting their national numbers in a few days!  Since it happens around the 4th of July, I used red/white/blue papers and "washi" tape from Target.  A recent FWF participant told me about these - they are hidden in the office supply section and they are fabulous - $4 for 4 rolls - how can you beat that?  I put these up for the Facebook challenge at Unity and was sure I would win:-)  But I didn't....however, I am in love with these Simple Stories pinwheels and I know my fabulous new members will love these cards!  The banner is from this Jillibean Soup itty bitty that is on sale at the garage sale today!

 I hope everyone has a great weekend and I see that Unity is having a garage sale so you might want to wander over there.....  And, remember to visit all the other friends today!!!

Be sure to buy some Ippity, too , and please select me as your chick!

Can you say TGIF?!  I mean it this time....these cards are  a combination of Unity and Ippity - "Enchanted Garden" and "Just a Note."

It is Friday and time to spend time with the Unity peeps and gawk at all the fabulous creations....

I am in love with the fantastic Unity and Ippity stamps, each and every one.  Seriously, have almost all of them and want all the new ones!  There is a fabulous sale on the Unity site.

Rermember to pick me as your Ippity chick - here is my picture:-)

Have a great weekend!

This fantastic button background is part of the new Ippity release - I am in love and wish I had some buttons on hand to put randomly on there - how about that great yardstick ribbon?  I can see combining this with some of the Material Girl Unity stamps too!  Not the greatest photograph but the card really is cute.

This is Miss Hissy - she is a furball who recently stole my husband's chair when he got up.  The first time she has ever done that:-)  She looks very innocent, though....

This is from a previous Ippity release and I have shown it before but I love this stamp!  

Finally, this is me so remember to click on my picture to order your Ippity,  I would love to be your chick!

Enjoy the hop!  Next up is my crafty creations.

TGIF!!!!! It's FWF Time....

I can't tell you how excited I am that it is finally Friday....my life is insanely busy right now and I am waiting for vacation!  I have a couple of cards today that use an Ippity birthday sentiment from "Just Wanted to Say"...the first card also uses a frame from "Enchanted Garden" from Unity's My Little Shoebox line. Love this beautiful set!

I have to run - it is going to be another crazy day.  Please pick me as your Ippity chick when you make your purchase and come back next week when I am sponsoring the Chick Challenge and for the Ippity blog hop!

Unity is celebrating Operation Write Home this weekend with a fabulous sale!!.  This amazing organization gets cardmakers to work for our military, providing handmade cards for soldiers overseas to send back home to their families.  It is also the organization whose blog hop started my stamping hobby, three years ago.  Please consider using all your sample cards for this great mission! Remember - no glitter!

This is my last card - I love this clock embossing folder and the pocket watch from the April SMAK kit.  The "Happy Birthday" is from a "Party All Day."  I love this paper - it looks like an argyle vest!

So, remember to go over to the Unity website and pick me as your chick to score some Ippity at a great price~and happy Friday, TGIF!!!!!!!  And, then make some cards for soldiers!!!

Finally Friday and FWF!

I am so happy it is finally Friday!  I have a busy weekend planned but I won't be at work:-)  I haven't had much time to create but here is something I forgot to share at Christmas.  Forgive the photo - took it with my phone but I love this frame.  It was $1.00 at Michaels'.  I used two sheets of gorgeous Authentique paper that I tore randomly and mod podged onto the frame.  I distressed a Santa image I had and added the stamped Unity Christmas tickets on the bottom.  My friend, who collects Santas, loved it!!!

Sorry for the poor quality of the photo but I wanted to share this:-)

Remember, pick me as your Ippity chick.  Ippity has so many fabulous stamps!

TGIF and FWF!!  I am so glad the weekend is here.  I overslept for the first time in years - forgot to set the alarm so the day started off with a little adrenaline:-)

I haven't had much time to create but here are some of my favorite Ippity creations of the moment...

until last week's release, Regal Greeting was my all-time favorite but these Angie Blom stamps are amazing!

Remember to go to Unity for the warehouse sale - some great deals there!  And always remember to select me as your chick!

I hope you have a great weekend!!

It is finally Friday!!!!  I am a little tired from the Ippity release party last night.  The new release was designed by Angie Blom and it is amazing!  You can buy these fabulous sets in a bundle pack, too!

And remember to go over to Unity - Angela is running some amazing sales!!!

I was thrilled when I received these sets in the mail!  The stamps are huge and the sets are magical!  Even my projects look artistic.  I made my first canvas a la Angie Blom and I think it looks pretty cool!  I also painted and stamped a wooden block - also a first for me:-)

See my post from last night below for a few other projects.  I cannot tell you how much I adore these stamps!!!!

Happy weekend and when you are shopping at Unity, please select me as your Ippity Chick:-)
