PHEW!!  We made it! 

I plan on having a full summer of lots of stamping.  I have been so busy that at night I can only make something LOL  I have enough stuff to post on my blog to last me a couple of weeks!  I am so sorry I have been so absent.  Something had to give, the blog lost. 

*GASP*  Now Blogger won't let me post pictures.  This happened once before and I can't remember what we did to fix it.  I didn't pay though.  I'll have to investigate tomorrow. 

Here is the dealio:

You might want to sit if your heart is weak.  You might want to jump up and do a little dance if SCREAMIN' stamp prices make you that happy!  [That is what I do I'm just sayin', if my heart goes out while buying Unity so be it!  Everyone will know I went to see my Mama HAPPY!!]

Now it is time to shop shop shop!!

31% off all {ippity}  OHMYGOSH that makes me so happy!  I would LOVE to be your chick!

coupon code SUMMER31 if it does not automatically apply.

A free itty bitty for every $25.00 you spend!  [That actually makes it only $18.25 if you have some 'splainin' to do!  You can't NOT spend several $25.'s right??  *snicker*

Please do NOT add the itty's to your order.  List up to ten in the comment section and the amazing, beautiful, funny, and well above average Unity Peeps will do their best to pick them from your list!

Why yes, there IS more!

Get up!  Do the dance!

To honor the brave, there are also THIRTY-ONE Unity stamps marked down!

Now here is the really good part.  $1.00 of every sale will be donated in stamps to the ladies making the cards for soldiers with Operation Write Home.  Please go HERE to read all about it.

Sale started today it ends Sunday night.  The average day at Unity is 92 orders.    It was one of the questions asked in the release before last.  $92. times 6 days is $552.00 of stamps sent to those awesome card makers!!  This sale should really boost that average!!

Have I ever mentioned how generous Unity is?

SO GENEROUS!!

Please go order!

AMAZING prices on stamps too cute to be true and they emboss PERFECTLY every time!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

It's weird not posting pics, please picture all the awesome stamps I have posted in the past in your head!  LOL

Happy NSD Peeps!!!

This is a pretty awful picture!  Bazzil Bling does not photograph well and those dew drops on the right top are not orange!  I used my expression to cut the vellum circle.  I used Angie Girl on the vellum part of the flowers but once I embossed them you can not see the ink hardly at all.  LOL  You will just have to trust me!  The green sun/circle/beautiful is a rub on that came with the Autumn Leaves paper.  I rarely use my Expression or rub-ons.  It as nice pulling stuff out again.    The grow is from Unity's Flirty Flowers that I just got from the warehouse sale!  YIPPEE!!  That was the best weekend ever right?  The flowers are a boss cut die cut in vellum and bling and embossed with a couple of random folders  One QK and one CB.  I don't know who made the flat backed pearls but man I love them!  In real life they look so pretty on the dark purple Bazzil Bling!

All the 'stuff' does not make the layout.  That BABY does.  OH MY GOSH I love this kiddo!

Her feet were about half the size of the kitty slippers so it was so nice putting them back on every 2 seconds.  LOL

Head on over to Split Coast and join us with this sketch!

$100. of Unity stamps and a guest DT member for July!

*swoon*

I was totally bummed I didn't make the DT this morning.  It lasted about 3 minutes.  I didn't even cry.  LOL  The wait was WAY worse than not making it truth be told!  LOL  The 6 girls that did make it sure made some beautiful layouts! 

You can see them HERE.

I am still in last night jammies!  YIPPEE!!!  I am going to shower and jump into clean jammies though  LOL  It's my anniversary and Bryan at least deserves me clean right?  LOL

Carlee had never been on the ATV before.  She said Daddy, I think you should give me a ride on that big bike thing.  5 seconds later they were going for a ride.  Bryan is such a great Dad.  That is one of the reasons I love him so much.

I can't wait for him to get home from work.  I think I'll invite him to scrap  LOL

FRIENDS WITH FLAIR & HAPPY NSD PEEPS!!!!

2 days a year I do absolutely nothing but scrap!  National Scrapbooking Day and World Card Making Day!

Such beautiful days!  My house has never crumbled from lack of cleaning.  My children have never starved to death due to lack of cooking.  Hello Chinese delivery!!

My husband does not even gasp when he comes home and I am still in last night's pajams LOL

The first thing I am doing tomorrow is this sketch:

Please head over to SCS and join us HERE.

Guess what the prize is?  $100.00 of Unity stamps [that will include {ippity} as well I am sure] and we get to be a guest designer for the Unity Blog in JULY!!  *SWOON*

I will be VERY busy scrapping tomorrow.  So like any smart chick would do I shopped TODAY!  LOL

RUN OVER TO UNITY!

The S.M.A.K kits are on sale!  Have I ever mentioned how much I love my smak kits?  I did?, well I am going to do it again. LOL They are PERFECT for scrapping.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE the stamps.   So much it could be wrong but I will worry about that when I am questioned LOL

I'm pretty sure a few sets jumped right into my cart.  They always do.  *SNICKER*

OK Man, am I long winded or what??  Here is a Card for Friends with Flair!

This is a silly little card, to most.  I made it for one of my customers.  She doesn't scrap and she and her DH adore penguins because they mate for life isn't that sweet?

That Bazzil Bling is hard to write one so I put a white layer inside. 

Come join us!  I won 25 random stamps 2 weeks ago and I still have not found 10 of them!  The hunt is so stinkin' much fun!

The stamps are Jillibean Soup.  Hearty Barley and Christmas Eve Chowder!  Jillibean soup is to blame for today's order!!  Did you see the banner on Game Day Chili?  How did I ever miss that?  $5.00?  Seriously??  I LOVE THAT!!

Guess what else happens tomorrow??  SIX very LUCKY Unity lovers get to join the design team!

I for one will be stalking poor Unity all day long!  My feet will hit the floor running!  I have never ran down the styairs while brushing my teeth but I think I will tomottow!

Thanks for stopping by!

Come join me in the Chick Challenge #27

Hi Peeps!

I hope your weekend was AWESOME!

Do you love this sketch or what?

I was instantly inspired when I saw it.

If you are as well head on over to our Chick Challenge Blog and join us!  My friend Angie Reece is sponsoring this week.  Her card is so beautiful you won't want to miss it. 

Angie bought some muslin and dyed it to make flowers and I thought that sounded so easy.  Well my flower looked like something the cat drug in!  LOL  So I put a My Minds Eye brad in it to distract you guys!  LOL  The giant dangling pom pom's totally crack me up.  Mailing this card is going to take a padded envelope for sure!  LOL

I used the AMAZING Let Your Heart Take Flight {ippity} set.  I absolutely LOVE the 3 different fonts!  Unity makes me happy always mixing up the fonts.

The paper is more from Christy Tomlinson a free gift from Unity!

Please come join us, Angie will send you a prize if you win!

Friends with Flair Friday!!

WOAH!  Blogger has a new look and change takes some gettin' used to for this chick!  LOL

This sketch was a sketch challenge with the chicks.

I was so excited that I finally made the time to play.  I whipped my card out and then noticed I used my brand spankin' new Kit of the Month Follow Your Own instead of {ippity}!  I am the WORST at challenges LOL  When I am scrapping or making cards I get in this zone and I just reach for what appeals to me at that second I guess.  LOL  Normally I am of average intelligence and can follow a simple rule.  LOL

The paper was a free gift from Unity.  Christy Tomlinson She Art!  I totally LOVE them!  They are always giving free gifts out.

Now, as soon as you have linked up with Friends With Flair, jump in your car and head for Target.  Go straight to their office section and below the sticky notes you will find their Washi tape!

$4.00 for 4 rolls!  You can't beat that!  Mine only had 3 colors and a ton of it!  If you can't find these colors I am happy to pick some up for you!  If your Target has other colors, please pick it up for me!  LOL

OK, I have been meaning to talk about Unity's KOM for a long time now.  This seems like the perfect time.  I totally love it so much I can't follow one simple rule and use {ippity} stamps!

It is all. over. the. place. every single month!  Below there are 41 stamps for $31.00!  Under a dollar, 75 cents a stamp!

Just off the top of my head I see  foxy cards for my so much fun to look at husband and all my foxy girlfriends!  Birthday, sympathy, anniversary, promotion, baptism, encouragement, baby,  recipe page, journaling sun on a scrapbook page, I could go on for another hour.  Stamps for everything in one kit!  Perfect for cards and pages!  If that isn't enough, Unity sends out free gifts because they love us.  Hello??  Who else thanks you for buying stuff like that?  Every month you get a coupon code.  25% off, a lot of times it even works on items on sale!  *GASP*  Still not enough incentive to go sign up?  You get a free kit every month if you spend $35.00.  I am pretty sure I have never placed an order under $35.00 in my entire life.  These stamps emboss beautifully.  Every single time!  They are deeply etched red rubber and dirt cheap!

I'll save my swooning over S.M.A.K for another post.

Thanks for stopping by this Unity addicts blog today!  LOL

Happy Friday!

Oh, and if you need some {ippity}, i would love to be your chick.  You can see I have an addiction to support!  HA!  LOL

Have a Beautiful weekend!

Go shop! 

There is an amazing sale going on!  I shopped until I nearly dropped and it was BIG Fun!

REALLY BIG FUN!!

Then on FaceBook Angela posted the bigger the order the better the FREE GIFT!  I didn't even know that and my order was BIG!  Let the stalking of the mailman begin!

PS  I love that the picture I just stole from her email turned my typing green!
