I am totally throwing in the towel on challenges!

I like to pretend I am a reasonable intelligent girl.  I can do just about anything most people can.  Right?  EXCEPT a challenge LOL  This fantastic Unity KIT OF THE MONTH SKETCH CHALLENGE has been on my desk for a month!  I finally made it last night so happy I still had 24 hours to skid on over to the blog and link it up!  Naturally the day got away, work, Halloween, etc.  I come barreling back here to snap a quick picture and do a blog post.  Easy as pie right?  I save the sketch to the computer so I can show the sketch like a good blogger.  That was when I noticed I used  {IPPITY} stamps!  LOL  One tiny little rule and I can't get it done LOL

Now, keep in mind with the Unity order I got on Saturday, I completed my mission!  I have all of the Unity KOM kits!  June of 2008 through October 2011  That took a very long time.  One would think I could have grabbed a KOM since I have a few.  Nope.  I spaced the entire challenge and happily made the sketch  LOL 

Here it is,  it all it's glory.  Just a sketch with some DARLING {ippity} stamps, New Season, New Wonder.  LOL  Maybe I'll try again in November!  LOL  The prize is huge!  Check it out!  Try to remember to use a KIT OF THE MONTH!  It is the rule!  LOL

Happy Halloween

That went over as well as my challenge.

Carlee was so excited to Trick-or-Treat all day long!  The big girls were going to do their thing and Bryan and I were going to take Carlee and all of a sudden she screamed she was not trick-or-treating!  She might be Little, but that one is MIGHTY!  We did not trick-or-treat!

How do people work and blog?

I can't find time to do both.  LOL  The girls get whatever energy I have left!

I wanted to let you know that Friday Creative Cuts and Stuck On You Sketches is having a joint blog hop!  Our theme is summer and both design teams made mini albums.  I LOVE making mini albums so I am excited to see what everyone made!

I stepped down from being the DT coordinator.  I am completely frazzled all the time lately.  I can't seem to give anything 100% and that is very unlike me.  Some things have to go and that was one of them.  Next thing is the yard!  I am calling a lawn service to come mow it.  I just don't have time YIPPEE!!!  Now, if only I could find someone to come clean the house for $18. a week  LOLOLOLOLOL

While making one of the albums for the hop I tried something, it worked, I love it and I wanted to share!

These are from New Season New Wonder

Super cute for cards.  They say smile, thanks, sweet and hello.  Not so great for a recipe album. 

So, before I put the embossing powder on, I colored in the words with my embossing pen!

Oh, how I love to alter a stamp and make it work! 

Carlee is getting so big.  She looks like a little girl instead of a baby now.  It's a good thing I got my tubes tied or I'd be trying to get pregnant!  I think a baby belongs on my hip! 

My 3 favorite people in the world.

And, back to the stamps LOL  Blogger won't let me move this picture up and I need to start working so I'm not going to fight with it anymore.  It is fine down here away from the others right?  :)

Thanks for stopping by today!  I truly miss seeing all of your blogs and I don't think things will continue to be this crazy busy for much longer!

A SERIOUSLY BEAUTIFUL New Season, New Wonder card from my awesome sister!

These stamps emboss so perfectly, you can't even imagine!  Carla used Copper SU! on this pear and it is so pretty.

I am a terrible photographer so you can't even tell how pretty it really is!   

The Stickles, the Primas, all the layers!  I LOVE IT! 

Thanks Carla for making such pretty cards with all my {ippity} stamps!

New Season, New Wonder is on sale for $16.20.  I'll pay the shipping and you can pick out 25 yards of twine in the color of your choice!

Thanks for stopping by today!  :)

The last day of this months release!

So what do you think?  What's your favorite?  Today we are featuring The Man, New Season, New Wonder and Friends + Flowers = Priceless!

Three more amazing sets!

I really like New Season, New Wonder!  It is a super fun set!  It embosses really well.  Big shocker, that I embossed it right?  LOL  I used some twine to decorate the top.    The little gems are by Recollections. 

The card is a Pop-Up A2 Insert - Horizontal - One Pop-Up Bar with A2 Card from Creative Cuts and More! 

This is another Creative Cuts and More card!  Super fun to make!  It's a Standing Pop-Up card!  It's flat so you can put it in the envelope. 

Then as you pull it up it pops into a little box stand thing-a-ma-jig!  LOL  I used The MAN to decorate this one and I didn't emboss anything.  It was HARD, but I lived through it! LOL 

Now, prepare to be AMAZED!  :)   The next card uses Friends + Flowers = Priceless.  We have a guest designer on the blog today!!  I'm particularly partial to her, she is mine!  That's right folks, MORGAN REESE has decided she wants to make cards for the blog!  She also took the picture!  She sadly made this card for a friend of hers that passed away a year ago today.  She left it with some flowers on his grave. 

I love her style!  I can't wait for her to start doing these blog posts!  LOL  She is 13 and a good girl!  She can handle the blog right?  :) 

She is a tough act to follow but here is mine.  Back to embossing!  That is after all my favorite thing to do!

 Thanks so much for stopping by today!

This has been a fun release!  Remember, everything is 10% off and I have free shipping! I will also send you 25 yards of twine in the colors of your choice!  I'd love to be your {ippity} chick!

These flowers are going to emboss beautifully and be easy to cut out!  I can't wait!!

This will fun to paper piece too!  I already have Bryan's Father's Day card sketched out in my head! 

I saved the BEST for LAST!  I ADORE this set!  I love pennants!  How cute are they??  I ADORE the saying: You're Kind Of A Big Deal!  How totally cute is that?  I just happen to have a whole ton of peeps that really are kind of a big deal  :)

My poor mailman!  He has about a week until I tackle him in the yard for not delivering the stamps *SNICKER*  I may or may not be the reason why we have had about 7 mail carriers in the 6 years we have owned this house :)

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you love this release as much as I do!  Please feel free to pre-order HERE.  I will update as I get my shipped notice and when they arrive and when I have shipped them all to you guys!!  :)  Thank you so much!
