How does a $20. gift certificate for {ippity} stamps sound?

Pretty great right?  Here is what you need to do.  Head over to the {ippity} challenge blog.  Click HERE, to enter the challenge which is to use an {ippity} or a Unity quote.  Do a blog post, or upload it where ever you like and link it up with the Linky Tools at the end of the post.
How easy is that?  :)
I am slightly addicted to this Waterfall Card Set from CC&M  LOL 
I stamped on every surface I could get my hands on  LOL  I embossed the mushrooms and the quote.  They are both from Because of You
I stamped the front of the kraft squares with Thoughts From The Past.  I stamped the back with Dots For Sure.  I sprayed the white squares with Glimmer Mist.  Then I embossed the mushrooms right on top of it!  I had never done that before and I wondered if the embossing powder would stick all over and it didn't!  It worked just fine.  The flowers are from A Moment In Time
This is my favorite {ippity} quote because I have a ton of Peeps in my life that make good times great times!  But I also really love the butterflies thrown in there!  Super cute!
All my {ippity} stamps are on sale for 10% off, all summer long!  While supplies last you can pick from 25 yards of twine or random {ippity} stamps.  Shipping is always on me!  :)
Don't forget about the new July release!  You can see the stamps HERE!
Good Luck on the gift certificate!

At 12:01 you can see the new sets!

Here is one more sneak peek! 
This card is another project gone bad LOL  But wait until you see the one I am almost finished with!
I didn't leave room for the pull tab at the bottom  oops!
Then when I started to check it to see if it pulled out smoothly and I totally belly ache laughed. 
I could not be a bigger dork!
See all those dragonflies?  LOL  A LOT of the time, I bag an idea and start over.  If you ever get a card from me, go ahead tear it apart you will see what I mean  LOL

I decided I love the printed backs.  I had never even thought of it! The one I'm working on now has polka dots!  Fun huh?  So this one will be headed for the round file but you may have noticed the VERY COOL stamps right?  :)
Come back after midnight Colorado time!  I think  LOL  I'll schedule the post for 12:01 on the 5th of July but Blogger might be in a different time  zone!
Thanks for stopping by!  It sure is nice to have the Internet back!  I actually caught up at work today!  *GASP*  Who does that?  LOL

I SURVIVED!!!

It was, however totally stinkin' sketchy!! LOL  But I lived through my internet being down  LOL
It worked fine this AM and I actually worked!  We decided to take the girls to a late lunch and feed our old neighbor's cats, and grocery shop!  We did it in record speed, Morgan needed to be at Youth Group by 5:30.  Well that was cancelled, we just didn't know.  We were so happy to be done with errands and have plenty of tine to work, read email etc  LOL 
Only for the first time with Q we were denied LOL  They have made me MAD, MAD, MAD with their changes over the years, but I have never been totally denied! 
We didn't like it at all.   I decided Bryan is a real pain for my scrappin' time when he can't be amused with his hunting message boards!  LOL  He and Carlee chased me around the house "getting'" me.  I just wanted to cut orders or go make a card  LOL  
Lucky for me, my Peeps ROCK and we made the best of it LOL
I have some cards ready to post, but it must wait!  I had to check SCS, my mail, you know!  I can't blog this late!   
The new {ippity} stamps ROCK!  I just need you to trust me on this :)
See ya' tomorrow!  :)

A few little sneak peeks!

So you know that job I told you about yesterday?  It's perfect!  No new wardrobe for the office, no sitter for Carlee.  I was in my pajamas until 4:30 and when I finally showered I got right back into clean pajamas and went back at it!
Well you know how training goes.  Everything that never happens always happens.  LOL  I got frustrated a couple of times and you have to spend so much time on the phone getting things worked out.  I am promised soon I can do this and watch TV at the same time.  I can't wait for that LOL  I already miss listening to my books!  LOL
So any way, by the time I got to my room the only good thing that happened was having a beer with my pal Andrea while we texted on her Birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLFRIEND!  I wish I had known!
I made some really ugly stuff last night LOL  I could not get it together to save my life LOL
I'm trying to make some masculine cards for a friend of mine and I really am awful at it LOL
That bottom strip of DP??  I had to attach that to the front of the card because the border punch I used looked way too feminine so I cut it off.  I wanted a little color in it and I really thought I could make this MME paper work.  Well I couldn't LOL  I thought a strip of the same paper instead of a ribbon would work.  Well, it didn't LOL  But do you see those STAMPS??  Those work and boy do they work well!  :) 
Now with AMAZING stamp, [did you know I have an addiction to butterflies?  I do!] I thought if I use black on orange I can get the Monarch look.  [Side note I was a Monarch in 5th grade in Pacific Grove, CA!  In the butterfly parade!  I rocked the look if I don't say so myself LMAO 
However something made me thing if I went with the lighter orange and used textured cardstock it would work better.  Again, it didn't LOL  But the stamp is VERY cool and I like it's messy look on textured, I will do this again only with a real orange, nothing summery LOL 
This was when I said I am done.  I'm going to bed.  NOTHING is coming together for me.   I wanted clean and simple.  Only the glittery EP is crap.  It doesn't melt well and pretty much bad EP ruins everything in my card making world LOL
So thanks for stopping by to see my ugly stuff today LOL  I sure appreciate it!  :)
Come back later for something that isn't ugly LOL  On the 5th, I can show you the full sets and ship them out!  They will be on sale for 10% off.  I have free shipping and 25 yards of free twine in the color of your choice!

I love this handle!  It is so clear and smooth.  I'm thinking one might make it's way off the stock shelf in the hall and onto my scrap table.  That sort of thing happens all the time doesn't it?  :)
