My Sweet Revenge - RAK

Random acts of kindness is when in the entire craziness of your day you take the time to think of someone else, someone other than yourself. We are raising the 'me' generation and what a great way to teach them to be the 'give' generation other than show it by actions.

Starting June 1st, 2011, we will be helping you to 'give'. This will be your RAK - random act of kindness cupcakes event.
One of the reasons I started baking cupcakes was because I loved seeing people's reaction when they received the unexpected dessert. It made my day...wait, it still does.

Check out the My Sweet Revenge Blog and you can enter to send someone some YUMMY cupcakes!

Creative Team Call

Hello Readers and those who have stumbled across my Blog accidentally.. I welcome you!
I LOVE ippity and am fortunate to be one of the few Unity Endorsed ippity Chicks.. What this means is that you can purchase ippity stamps through me as ippity stamps are ONLY sold through Unity Endorsed Chicks like ME! I have a blog that is dedicated to my ippity/unity stamps, I Heart {ippity}.

To help support and grow my ippity Creativity and to showcase ippity stamps, I am putting together a Creative Team. I will send you a stamp set and in exchange for that set you will follow the requirements listed below of posting at least one project a week utilizing ippity stamps only with a link back to my blog.

I want to spread the love of ippity stamps and am looking for 3 dedicated people to help me do that.

Creative Team Call..
A Creative Team is a group of stampers who are willing to post their artwork using ippity stamps on their blogs once a week, which we will showcase here as well!! I will periodically send you FREE stamps and other goodies as my thank you for all your hard work at sharing ippity stamps!! You will also have a special Creative Team logo to put on your blog...

What I am looking for (This is commitment will run Mid-June through December):

*Someone who has a blog and is willing to upload their own artwork 3-4 times in a month using only ippity stamps on that project (you can use ANY OTHER PRODUCTS you like--papers, embellishments, die cuts, etc...only requirement is that the stamps you use are only ippity stamps for that project).
*Sometimes I will have specific requirements for the project, such as during a new release or contest, but most of the time you can create whatever you like (cards, home decor, scrapbook pages, etc) as long as the inspired stamped image is prominent in the project.
*Someone who would like to have FREE ippity stamps sent to you periodically.
*I would love to give some new designers their first chance at being on a design team, too, so no experience is required.

HOW DO I BECOME A PART OF THE CREATIVE TEAM?
* Email me with the following information BY noon (Eastern Time) FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 2011!!
*Name, Blog Address & 2 Examples of your artwork utilizing stamps ippity/unity if you have them but not necessary
*Let me know what you like to design most (cards, scrapbook pages, etc)
* Tell me about your self and why you would like to be on this Design Team

Pay it Forward

Wow visting Nati's Blog today, she always leaves such sweet comments for me. I came across this post of hers regarding this Pay it Forward. I decided to hope on board and be a part of it as well.
Pay It Forward" is the idea of blessing someone with a random act of kindness without expecting anything in return. It’s passing on a kindness, hoping that your recipients will do the same, and forming a never-ending chain of goodwill. But it isn’t only kindness, it is also a means to connect and share instead of just keeping it to ourselves. Also, who doesn't like happy snail mail?

"I promise to send an original creation to the (1st) 5 people who leave a comment here. They must, in turn, post this on there blog, and send something they make to the 1st 5 people who comment on their status."

Here's what you need to do:

1. Leave a comment on this post. I will send a handmade gift to the first 5 commenters.
2. Create a post on your blog offering the same.
3. Send a handmade item to your first 5 commenters.
4. It must be sent to your 5 people sometime in 2011.

Please do not sign up unless you are fully committed to making your 5 items!

I think this is wonderful and I hope you join in this fun event! I plan to make some nice cards for you to share with other people and enjoy! God Bless!

P.S. If you are one for the first 5 please email me your address to my EMAIL . Thanks!

Mom - The Creative Pointe

I am honored to be a Premier Member of The Creative Pointe Creative Team for Diecut Designer, thank you Cindy for inviting me in. This is my first post as part of the Creative Team.

Dies Cut Designer is a site dedicated to SVG files, Cindy at Creative Pointe has created some really fantastic files so be sure to check her Blog, she is very generous with her files and has some wonderful freebies up on her blog currently. Also be sure to check out the store Die Cut Designer.

She shared this wonderful file with me, and as I looked at it all I could think of was when I was a kid making valentines and or Mothers Day cards for my mom.. I loved to use hearts and doilies and cut designs into the hearts.

With that in my mind I created this Mothers Day card which to me looks very much like a Valentine Card, which just shows how versatile this can be.

The word mom was cut from the same color CS so I used Glossy Accents to give it some pop

I then stickler the cut outs

and used lacy ribbon to give the vintage-y feel I was looking for

There is another heart glued onto the back sandwiching the ribbon

You can purchase this file HERE

Thanks for visiting & Happy Crafting!

NSD #3

Challenge #3--Make a card, scrapbook page, or 3-D item with a breast cancer theme. You can use a ribbon, make it pink, whatever you'd like.

Well I was able to Complete 9 of the 12 NSD Challenges from My Pink Stamper in 7 hours.. so yeah! Even though we were given an hour for each Challenge, actually longer to enter all of them.. I wanted to keep within the TRUE challenge and reach for an hour or less per project.. so whew...I slid in there..

Thanks for checking all of the projects out.. Happy Crafting (this chick needs some sleep NOW)
