There’s this new blogging event thing that Shimelle is starting called “10 things”. It looks like fun and I couldn’t resist joining in!
On the 10th of the month you’ll find a list here from me about some 10 things.
To start it off, I’ll make a list using one of the latest cards that I made that I really am happy with! It’s a new Ippity Stamps set called New Season, New Wonder. A super cute and versatile 6 image set that is all fruity! Take a peek:

Let’s take a look at some cards that I’ve made using Unity and Ippity stamps!
Did you know that I’m an Ippity Chick and sell Ippity stamps? They are the best cling mount, red rubber stamps out there! Clear images, lots of versatility and especially great value for the money.
Take a look! If you would like to see more Ippity, take a look at my Ippity selling blog for all the sets and great info on the stamps.
