Chick and {ippity} Challenges~

Hi there!

Okay, so I don't know if you've noticed, but I loooove little tags and mini kraft bags and have used them on past creations. I needed a birthday card for a gift, so I decided to make a birthday greeting out of three tags.

I played with one of my new {ippity} sets fabulous girl:

Yea, these kinda look similar to another tag set that I created HERE ,

but as I mentioned....I loooove mini tags!

Here are the close-ups:

You can write on the back of the tags, but it also would be fun to write in the open spaces of the front of the tags, don't you think?

My tags are based on two challenges:

Chick Challenges with {ippity} sketch:

and

Unity {ippity} CAS challenge:

I would LOVE to be YOUR {ippity} chick...

{ippity} release day and l.o.v.e. hop~

Happy {ippity} release day!!

And Unity is having a release party tonight on SCS...7p!
You can join on the fun HERE.

And "Inspiration Bingo" is already started...go HERE to put your words in to be ready for tonight!

So are you ready for some hopping with the {ippity} chicks today?

If so, you should have arrived from

Mary's Creative Journey!

If you didn't, please don't miss out on all the l.o.v.e.l.y. creativity...you can hop back to the Unity {ippity} blog to start at the beginning

(click the badge image above to go there!).

l.o.v.e.

is in the air for today's hop! <3

I decided to stick with the basic theme of love by using hearts...

I made a heart box,

with hearts all over it:

I stamped various {ippity} hearts (from the following sets: House a Home, Devoted, Life's Little Moments) all over white cardstock and cut and folded it into a heart box (MS template). Did a little ink sponging, added some red ribbons, white tulle, and red pipe cleaners, along with my cut out stamped rainbow hearts and sentiment from one of our latest

{ippity} itty bitty's: Friendship Rainbow.

I colored the rainbow and hearts with my Copic Markers.

I also entered this into the:

Cutting & Trimming Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

I used my handy dandy little Stampin' Up Paper Snips Scissors to cut out the hearts, rainbows and the space in between the two rainbows. I've had these scissors for 8 years and they have never had to be sharpened to cut into small spaces!

Here are the other sets that will be available to order tonight:

Well, you have now reached the end of the {ippity} l.o.v.e. hop and I am so excited that you joined in! I hope you liked the inspiration from all the participants!

Thank you for sharing your day with me!

I {heart} you!

Flairing with My Friends on Flashback Friday!

WELCOME Friends!

Do you know what today is?

It's Flashback Friday's 20th Challenge Hop! Woot! Woot!

(click on the badge to take you there)

The Flashback Friday Challenge is to post your 'first' of the challenge at hand.

You create a 'new post' of your original project (even if it's an awful picture taken from way back then, LOL)! That's the fun of the challenge...you take ownership of your card, layout, whatever it is, in the current day! It's all for fun and sometime's it's a project that you ask yourself 'what was I thinking?' or, it could be something that is still spectacular!

AND

It's Friends with Flair Friday at Unity! Woohoo!!

You share your creations with all your friends using your Unity Stamp Co stamps!

And did you see those new CHA sets?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm am totally excited because I am the Guest Designer for

Amy's 20th Challenge at Flashback Friday!

This means that I was able to pick the challenge which is:

Your first 'Black and White' card or creation!

Hope you can find one of your past creations and join in!

Here's one set of black and white cards that I found back in the beginning of 2010, using my

Unity January 2010 KOM, Savor the Journey:

I white embossed the ornate frames, adding ribbon, pearls, and the sentiments in this kit; then added some frill with the white lace on the side.

Please try to join in on this challenge with anything 'Black and White', even if you have a splash of color!

To continue on to the Flashback Friday hop, go visit:

Rose

@ My Happy Place!
