Isn't she stunning?  Here's what Mary shared with us: Hi Everyone!  My name is Mary and I live in the northern part of San Diego, California, in Escondido.  I started crafting after an injury about 10 years ago,but didn't find stamping until about 4 years ago! Shortly after that I found Unity!  I was in on the ground floor of {ippity} and just love the people that I have met-my wonderful customers and the people at Unity!  I would be honored to help you if you have any questions about {ippity} or any of the projects that you find on my blog.  This community has been so wonderful to be a part of, and I feel very blessed to have found it!  Thank you to everyone who stops by my blog to say Hi! And please, stop by my Facebook page as well! I would love to chat with you!  Hugs, Mary

Chick Challenge #18

Happy Thursday, stampy friends!  We are getting close to the weekend, and for many of our readers, that also means February school vacation!  For some (like me), that means extra time to get crafty.  For others, that means that the kids will be home and you will not be able to squeeze in much crafty time.  Hopefully we will ALL have a chance to play along at some point this week!  We have a fabulous new

Kim Bell
Ogdensburg, NY

Let's get to know Kim: Hi there!  My name is Kim Bell and I live in Upstate NY on the Canadian border.  I think I began making cards back in 2007 or 2008…..can’t really remember.  I work full time as an Internal Auditor for a credit union and I paper craft at night or on weekends.  It is my therapy.  I discovered Unity right after they opened up shop and I’ve been an {ippity} Chick since the very beginning.  The Unity people are truly amazing and so are the stamps!!  I have a wonderful husband, a son, and a chubby little Pug named Milo.   When not crafting or working, I can be found at a soccer, hockey, or lacrosse game somewhere!

Chick Challenge #16

A new month has arrived, and the countdown to {ippity}'s newest release has begun!  Only 7 more days until we can share the latest stamp sets with you, as well as some fabulous projects created by the{ippity} chicks!

Today we have a beautiful card to share with you, created by this week's


(challenge week of February 2nd-8th)

Aletha J. Williams
Tulsa, Oklahoma



Here's what Aletha shared with us: My name is Aletha Jane Williams and I live in Tulsa, OK, or better known as “tornado alley.”  I am a self-taught artist and am still in the process of learning. I have been in the graphic arts/print production industry for many years. When I started in the industry we created everything manually, no computers involved. My 15 year experience in the “crafting/art” world is rubber stamp art, mixed media, and collage. In 2009 I became disabled and cannot work outside the home. Now I can concentrate on my health and my art. My creations will always involve rubber or digi stamps. I am an obsessive collector of stamps. I feel like I am collecting little pieces of art that I can turn into my own art. When I discovered Unity, and then Ippity, I knew that these were little pieces of art that I had to have. I am honored to be your “Hot” Chick for this challenge. Now, let’s see what you can come up with!
