Another page for my Pennant album!

Hi Guys!  This is one of the 2 things I am submitting to Unity for their DT call!

I love this Pennant album!

I REALLY love this darling baby! 

I started with my new Unity stamp Memory & a Photo!  It is HUGE!  5 3/4" wide and 4" tall.  Unity stamps are PERFECT for scrapbooking!  I embossed it and it turned out PERFECT as usual! 

Here is a close up and in case you are as nosy as me, you want to know what it says!

title: What we do all day long!

location: The chair in the l.r.

date: every day!  all day!!

notes: 116 Days!  Thank you for being the object of my obsession!!  I LOVE You!

I added a bunch of bling in all the o's and under the picture.  The middle heart is a button, the other 2 I cut out of the card in KOM 01/12 Heart and Soul. 

Carlee loved to nurse and stare at us.  I promise you she never missed a thing.  This is still true today 4 years later! {Not the nursing part LOL}

If you are a fan of tickets get on over to unity and you will not be disappointed! {that link only shows the sets with Ticket in the name!  TONS of other sets have tickets in them!  A girl can never have too many tickets!

These 3 are also from 01/12 KOM!  The clip, brad and metallic heart are from my stash. 

I also cut this heart out of the same card from that Kit Of The Month.  I LOVE that banner, this might be my favorite stamp right now and honestly I have not used  it as a card yet!  LOL  The flowers, brad and bling are also from my stash.  Clcik HERE to see the current Kit of the Month!  I LOVE it!

Last but certainly not least, I also love this little cluster of hearts from an {ippity} set Loads of Love.  I embossed it in UTEE twice, it is so fun to see UTEE melt on these hearts!  If you order Loads of Love you will have to pick a chick to do so.  I would LOVE to be your chick!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

I am sick and a little grumpy and just talking about my baby, {ippity} and Unity made me feel better! 

30% off!! 10 free sentiment stamps!! AND a $10.00 off coupon code!! AND a DT call!

Seriously if you LOVE the best stamps on the planet and you LOVE a bargain, get on over to UNITY!!!

You will not regret it!



REWARDS???  *GASP*

OH HOW I LOVE UNITY!

It just keeps getting better doesn't it?

Have YOU seen THIS???

Unity's DT call?

Here is my take.  I spent like a week worried sick over the mere thought of trying out for the DT.  Ask  any of my friends i can't stop talking about it to anyone who will listen. [and possibly those who won't]   WHY?  It would be like a dream come true for this kid.  I have LOVED Unity for years.  I LOVE being an {ippity} chick.  I LOVE all the peeps inside of Unity. 

I have never tried out for a DT before.

I have never used a digital stamp before.

Hundreds if not thousands of other peeps just like me are going to try out.

Here is what I decided.

I can't get on the team if I don't try.

If I don't make it what will change?  Not a thing.  I get to keep my SMAK and KOM.  I get to still be an {ippity} chick.  I still get to do everything I do every day now.  NOTHING changes!  I am so on this!  I am EXCITED!!

You should join me!  If you are using Unity or {ippity} you have a great chance of getting on the team!

Here is my favorite part:

I know this is BACKWARDS - but I am going to be UPFRONT with what I am NOT LOOKING FOR.{please be honest with yourself when reading my thoughts below}
please don't apply if you are not up for spontaneous requests! CHECK!please don't apply if you run on rigid schedules and numerous TIGHT deadlines.  CHECK!please don't apply if you expect me to be months ahead of things. CHECK!please don't apply if you only do well with a leader, we are ALL leaders on the team. CHECK!please don't apply if you are not flexible.  CHECK!please don't apply if you love drama. CHECK!
hee, hee.please don't apply if you expect EVERYONE on the team to do the SAME amount of work. CHECK!please don't apply if you ask a million questions about every request i make.CHECK!i am ORGANIZED CHAOS.i KNOW what i want, when i want it - NOT MONTHS ahead of time.sometimes only days.YOU HAVE TO BE WILLING and HAVE THE TIME to work on things SPUR OF THE MOMENT.
I AM SO IN!!Come join me!If we make it we can dance on the table tops together and clink our beer bottles together!  If we don't make it we can still dance and clink and make whatever strikes our fancy anytime we want just like we do now!!

Growing In Unity WINNER!!!!

Sorry guys, Carlee Rae is FOUR!  Some days she acts like a GRUMPY four year old!  LOL

Today is that day!  She flat out refused to help me.  Something about she ALREADY DID THAT!

So I got busy on my own!  I'm not any where near as cute as she is but I can console you with this I am a LOT, A WHOLE LOT less GRUMPY!  LOL

I can not believe how many comments there were!  I did a TON of punching

I numbered them this time I thought the names would take far too long!  LOL 

I needed a bigger container, my Glimmer Box was perfect!  It is just a recycled Priority box.  It is so beautiful!  LOL  Some day I might cut it up and make cards out of it LOL  I wish you could see the shimmer!  LOL

CONGRATS JENMARIE!!!

Please email me your mailing info and the two itty bitty's you would like and I will forward it on to the fabulous Kelli! noellereese@q.com

THANK YOU everyone for coming to my blog all week!  This has been BIG FUN and I appreciate all of your comments and compliments more than you know!

If you ordered and chose me as your chick an even BIGGER THANK YOU!!!

Truth be told.... we are ALL winners for loving Unity/{ippity} so much!!



Winner time from the L.O.V.E. {ippity} blog hop!

Miss Carlee Rae does not do anything half way!

She picked out pretty paper!

She punched 10 out.  There were 9 entries on the hop and one more the next day! 

I wrote all the names on them. 

I forgot to leave out my fellow chicks.  You girls get Carlee's LOVE!  She absolutely did not like like pulling your names!  Truth be told I have not seen these again you are tucked away some where special to be held onto by these darling paws!  LUCKIES!! 

I swear I am going to unmount that awful pile of SU stamps just to clean up my scraproom!  LOL   Maybe I'll just put them away and use them as they are instead of leaving them out to try to make myself unmount them.  It hurts my fingers!  I do not like doing it and it took me a LONG time mounting all of them.   LOL 

These are all the toys I talked about.  They are everywhere!  Carlee is without a doubt the messiest kid I have ever met and I love her any way!  Even as I hit the floor tripping over all of them  LOL

Where Carlee goes, MY cat goes.  I've been replaced.... 

Pam you won!

Pamsaid...

Love it Noelle!!

Growing in Unity Day FIVE! Along with Friends With flair!

Oh How I LOVE a fun FRIDAY!  :)

Today is BIG!

First, it is my sister's birthday!  I love her like no other.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARLA! xoxoxoxoxoxo

Second, Growing in Unity!  The final day!  Thank you all for visiting my blog all week!  I have had a super time and I hope you were inspired by one of my cards or laughed a little more!  I am going to go follow all of your blogs and see what you are all up too VERY soon!

Third, it is Friends With Flair!   Another chance to win more stamps!  RUN!  Go link up your Unity/{ippity} project!

I LOVE Fabulous Girl!  Embossing it, coloring it and cutting is out is BIG fun!

I also love that wide ribbon more than I should!  *snicker*  It's from Michael's.  The brand is Celebrate it and it is 5 yards and 1 1/2 thick it was on clearance and I had a 20% off ribbon coupon SCORE!!!  The bling is Recollections.

You want to know what I love about this {ippity} itty bitty?  TWO sentiments!  Seriously?  You are fabulous can be used a million different ways.  The other good thing is Carla can see her birthday card on time here!  Once I mail it she can see it in real life!  LOL

Thanks so much for spending the week with me!  I've had a blast! 

Good Luck on the stamps!  Miss Carlee Rae will be picking a winner on Saturday some time!



Growing in Unity Day FOUR!

WOW!  I had no idea how much fun I would have this week.

Thank you all so much for visiting my blog and laughing at all the shenanigans that go on around here!

Today I got to watch my neighbors baby.  He is so yummy. We love him like he is ours.  We watch him every week.  Carlee and I were singing Row, Row, Row your Boat.... he scrunched up his face and burst into tears!

So please add singing to the list of things we can't do.....  LOL  If you want to hear awesome singing go buy an Adele CD LOL

Now if you want to eat some of that cookie or play with my stamps come on over, I'll even make you a sandwich  LOL

Friendship Rainbow makes me HAPPY!  Anything to do with friendship is a bonus in my book! 

I have the BEST friends.  Isn't it funny how when you are just about to crack a text, email, or call can save you?  I embossed this, shocked?  I piled on so much stickles and glossy accents it almost curled perfectly!  I bent it just a little put on a pop up dot under the exact middle of the stamps and let it dry.  The 'wave' I wanted is perfect!

It takes all I have not to slather ink over everything.  My guess is if one was asked to describe my style it would not be clean and simple.  Simple yes!  The clean throws me off.  But adding all the color made it work for me.  Clean and colorful I can do  :)

Start stalking Unity, That Ang can't stand to not have a killer sale. 

I would love to know, if you are loving the new way of ordering or if you prefer to order straight from your favorite {ippity}chick?

This is the first release I did not stock all the sets.  I'm uncomfortable   LOL

Please be honest and let me know!

Thanks for stopping by today.  You guys ROCK!

Growing in Unity Day THREE!

Hi Peeps!  How was your Valentines Day?

Mine was PERFECT!  I have to share how funny my husband is!

He is a jewelry man, he has given me so many pieces of jewelry and I always LOVE them.  He then went to buying gift cards to scrapbook stores [until they all closed] to now saying Just check out at Unity LOL  That man KNOWS what I LOVE!!

Well today for fun, he wanted to surprise me!

I can not tell you how big this cookie is!  It must be like 16 x 16!  It is the largest cookie I have EVER seen!  I find this so romantic, the gesture is so sweet.  I am not much of a cookie fan truth be told.  He knows this.  Honestly in the last 16 years I am not sure he has ever even seen me eat a cookie.  We LOVE root beer floats and ice cream in any form.  He was actually disappointed that we did not have vanilla ice-cream to put on this cookie LOL  But everyone loves a heart cookie, and with a love note??? SWOON!  {side note, the cookie is AWESOME it is so soft and so perfect I am going to demand one next year! I think I lost my ice-cream birthday cake fans and they are going to want giant yummy cookies for their birthday from now on!}

I know, I know, you want the funny part!  I HAVE to build it up so you get how funny the man I adore really is!  The girls are asking about my favorite gifts ever from him and I am finishing up getting dinner on the table.  Bryan is back in our room changing clothes so I shout down the hall... HONEY, I think this is the first food you have ever given me!    Our house is small he can hear what the girls and I are talking about.  He responds with "YOU SHOULD LOOK IN THE REFRIGERATOR"!

THAT man makes me laugh!

He makes me laugh until I cry all the time!

About 30 minutes later he was putting away the dry dishes [our dishwasher is broken and I am not talking about ME  LOL]

He asked me where the garlic press went.  [So maybe he only helps on Valentines Day LOL]  I'M KIDDING!!  He says "Where does this go?"  I say "In the drawer."  He says, "OK, I'll play your SILLY little game!  Which drawer?"

That was when I hit the floor.

Seriously our house is a total mess.  I can keep you from starving to death but you will rarely, if EVER shout THAT WAS THE BEST MEAL EVER!  You will not go home thinking, I am going to decorate like she did!!  What will happen is you will LAUGH quite possibly until you cry.  You might also fall down over a toy.  I still have bruises from a completely stellar digger I took over a princess cash register in front of Morgan's friend I had never met a couple of weeks ago! 

Now, seriously!!  If you want PERFECTION go to Unity and buy some stamps!  Get an embossing gun and some brown powder, it goes with EVERYTHING!  I'd also bet my stamps you will laugh until you cry there too! :)  I will need to be present to keep up my end of the deal.

This is the card that posted on Unity's Blog today!  So easy and so fun!  Embossing the sucker from Sucks To Get Old, is BIG FUN!  I love cutting it out and popping it up.  At the release party we had a HUGE chat with a ton of people.  Coloring came up and I acted like a coward and didn't talk.  BUT I read... like a maniac.  I made this card with Sharpies and Bic permanent markers, thanks to those ladies!  I seriously said OUTLOUD, the worst case scenario is I get to emboss more suckers!  I went to town!  I colored the sticks, the bows, and the solid stripes!  I stamped them all on printed Kraft paper!  So easy, so fast!  If you need me I'll be embossing and coloring.... if I don't like the color of the Sharpie, I'll be adding my glitter pen and fixing it!  SO MUCH FUN!!  The GOOD LUCK with that is from the {ippity} itty bitty Preggo-GOOD LUCK!

Thank you so much for stopping by and please go stamp!  You will love it!  It is even better if you buy {ippity}and emboss!  Please pick me as your chick and please come over for a slice of cookie! Most importantly, if you see my way above average husband, and his funny, love letter giant cookie givin', so DANG much fun to look at self , PLEASE tell him how much I love him!  I do not think he has ever even seen my blog! 

See you tomorrow!  Leave  comment for the chance to win 2 itty bitty's!
