I just loooove gift bags, don't you?

For my Growing in Unity share today I created a gift bag for Valentine's Day!

I adore this stamp set: {ippity} itty bitty "We're Better together":

These bees are also in the Unity July 2011 KOM.

I felt that these bees needed some sparkle so I added some Fruit Punch Stickles dots along the Spellbinder Labels 4 frame and the top and bottom of the bag.  Isn't that Pink Corsage Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon divine? I love how pretty and sparkly it is. 

See, aren't these bees so cute?

YOU could win 2 Itty Bitty's of your choice, by commenting on my Growing in Unity posts! I will pick a random winner this weekend, so don't miss out to be put into the drawing!

I used the sketch over at Chick Challenges:

You can play too, but hurry, this sketch challenge ends Wednesday at midnight:
Chick Challenge Sketch #13.

And I am entering this into the Really Reasonable 'Valentine's Day' Challenge which must include some ribbon, lace or trim somewhere on your project.

You have until January 29th at midnight to play!

Growing in Unity Monday~

Happy Happy Monday!  

I'm back with another Growing in Unity card today, showcasing one of our 

{ippity} itty bitty stamps "sweet on you". 

Make sure you see yesterday's post, as I actually started Growing in Unity yesterday!

Do you have any of those baseball card protectors? Well, I used one of those sheets and cut out two of the card slots to create this card base. 

Here's the info: I inserted chocolate cardstock with polka dot paper, cut with a Spellbinders Label 4 die and a little tie of embroidery thread for the background to be placed inside the pocket.  I colored the cupcakes with Copics, and cut out them out to embellish the outside (now it's really tricky when trying to photograph the baseball card protectors due to the glare, so I'm sorry, I could not eliminate the glare totally):

Here is the inside of the card, again placing chocolate polka dot cardstock over blue cardstock inside the card slot. Then embellishing the outside using the Spellbinders die Labels 4 with the sentiment, and colored,   cut out and popped up one little cupcake and some pretty flower ribbon: 

Here's a close up of the cupcakes and you can see them popped up at various heights:

You need to use a bone folder to crease the card holder in order for it to stay folded.  But it really makes such an easy card base, and you can easily switch it around for different looks.

I will not take credit for using the baseball card holder, as I have seen it used as scrap book pages in many different places, i.e., Debby Schuh classes.  

But I thought...why not use it as a card base?  So what do you think? 

I created this card based on the challenge over at Ribbon Carousel and was inspired by the cupcake and it's colors:

You have until Monday at midnight to enter this challenge.

Also, don't forget to leave a comment to be entered in the Growing in Unity drawing...

you could win 2 Itty Bitty's of your choice!  More details on yesterday's post below.

And if you NEED some {ippity}, I would love to be YOUR {ippity} chick! All you need to do is click on my picture when placing your order on the Unity website!

Thank you so much for coming by today!

I hope your day is filled with Unity and {ippity} goodness!

My Growing in Unity Week!

Hello and Happy Sunday!

This is MY week for Unity's "Growing in Unity" and I'm starting today!  Unity Stamp Co allows Unity's fans to host a week of Unity and {ippity} creations and give away a Unity prize...isn't that fantastic?  

It's usually Monday through Friday, but I'm starting a little early, 'cause I know this week will breeze by...so is that okay with you?

My share today is a card that I made with {ippity} stamps.

First, with one of {ippity's} newest quote stamps:
an itty bitty "Happy are those", by Unity Artista Jenny Suchin; 

Second, with the scallop stamp from "Party Hat Wishes":

I created the clouds on the background, by stamping the quote on c/s and then cut out the cloud image and used it as a stencil to ink up, with my TH Antique Linen Distress Ink...so what do you think? 

I created this card for two challenges:

Wee Memories 'Final' Challenge #83, which is this sketch above (you have till Jan 20th to participate in Jenny's last challenge...let's make her last challenge awesome!);

and

The Color Throwdown Challenge #174, to use these colors above (you have till Jan 16th at midnight to participate in this challenge!).

So here's how Growing in Unity works:  

• I will post a Unity and/or {ippity} creation every day this week, with Friday being the last day.
• From all the comments on my posts through Friday, I will pick one random winner through Random.org.
• On Sunday, I will post the winner and the winner gets to choose ANY 'TWO' ITTY BITTY'S from the Unity website!
• Woohoo!  Isn't Unity the greatest?

I'm so excited to be hosting Growing in Unity this week and I hope I have not left out any details that I needed to post!  However, if I did, I will inform you in other posts this week!

Thank you so much for joining me on this fun ride this week!
