H{ippity} Hop Monday!

Happy H{ippity} Hop Monday!!! I had a wonderful weekend full of stamping and cardmaking and bbq's and waterparks! It was just FUN! My girls actually spent the weekend with my mom so I had a LOT of time to make cards and I took plenty of advantage of that by making 8 cards! Yowsa! That's a lot. I have one of those cards to share with you today and the other 7 are staying a secret until after Fri as I submited them to PaperCrafts!!! Yikes! I finally did it! I've been thinking about it for awhile but this time I finally did it and even if none of my cards make it into the issue I'm just so proud of myself for taking the initial step to submit. Besides, with a craft show fastly approaching - I'll need lots of cards on hand - and I'll keep on submitting, too!!!

So, on to my card. I used this weeks Unity Addicts color challenge to use Teal, Orange & Navy. Isn't it divine?! I love this sentiment from the {ippity} set Delightful Little Things. Reminds me to remember that I know who matters to me even when sometimes other people in my life may still hurt me. A little personal here, but I'm sure we all have those people in our lives at some point. I'm at the point where I need to do my best to move on and enjoy the life I have with my amazing husband, my beautiful children, a great job that allows me to stay home and a wonderful hobby that fulfills me to no end with beautiful friends & creativity!!! Ok, I'll stop now! LOL

My 2nd set of cards I made for last weeks hip hop sketch & were actually showcased on the Unity Opportunity Blog last Wednesday!!! Totally made my day! I couldn't believe it - I just love working with my {ippity} & Unity stamps. Not only are they great quality and fabulously cute stamps, but the company itself is amazing with its sense of commUNITY. I honestly have never felt so welcomed as a customer, as a friend, as a designer. It's absolutely superb! And I hope I can pass that sense of sisterhood on to you as my customers for {ippity} as well. Everytime I have a sale from my blog, I literally do a little happy dance, I'll email or text my friends to share in my excitement. I eagerly get together the stamps and write up a personal note to send along with your order. I just love passing along my love of stamping & what it brings to my life.

I hope you are having a great Monday! And be sure to stop by the Unity Opportunity Blog to get a list of all the amazing artists participating in todays hop!
