H{ippity} Hop Monday

I have one card to share today. The stamp is from the Ippity Devoted set still one of my absolute favorites.  The rest of this verse says, "My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song."  I had to use this paper to go with this verse!  The paper and the paper tape (which I made into a flower) is from 7gypsies.  The awesome decorative border paper tape is from Basic Grey. Twill, lace and button are from my stash. Butterfly ribbon is HL. Have a great Monday!

What's Your Style?

Winner winner chicken dinner ***Pryn you are the only guess of Shabby Chic - which is my other favorite style - I do love all things distressed and lacy!!! Some fun fall paper is heading your way!!


That is the question for this time's All Things Unity challenge.  (there is still time to enter - give it a try!!) Well last night after supper I decided I was going to do something for this challenge.  11 CARDS later I decided that Fun and Cute is my style (at least for the day!!)  I actually think I use another style pretty much equally.  So today leave me a comment guessing which "other" style I usually go towards and I will send 1 person who answers correctly a bunch of 6x6 papers.  Which 6x6 papers you ask - well take a look at these 11 cards... I took out 1 new paper pad (Imaginisce Apple Cider) and 2 stamps (1 is from Ippity Fall for You and the other is from an adorable Unity set that I searched and searched and can't find the name of!!) and had a BLAST.  I only used one of each of the sheets and I am ready to share. Oh and if you can guess which was the 11th card I made I will give you a bonus chance in random number generator.  I can always tell when it's time for bed the cards just quit flowing... anybody else have that issue?!!  Sorry for the bad photos I was dealing with lots of shadows - but you'll get the idea. Oh and yes I just realized there are only 10 cards here - the very last one shown I made two exactly the same and did not take a picture of both.

Lots of Cards for FWF

I have a bunch of cards to share - several are design team cards for challenges on Simply Scrapping Crafts that I just have never shared here.  These first two are for challenges on Splitcoast Stampers that I entered this week.  I'm not posting deets on all of these but you can find them in my SSC and SCS galleries with more information or shoot me an email and I can answer any questions you may have.  Happy Friday!!

Another Ippity Monday

Well I think classes went very well on Saturday and I am finished putting everything back in the scrapbook room :)  It's always good for me to pack up for a day every so often because when I put everything back I organize (even if it's just a little) and get motivated again!!  I have one little card to share today - using Quotes a'la Happy.  I also used a scrap (which I found while organizing LOL) of one of my favorite BoBunny sheets.  And a gorgeous Prima flower that I have been hoarding for a while... The flower had a brown center but I felt this card needed black so I colored it with a copic to make it match the card better.  I also used a copic to color in the word  happy in the sentiment and then to add a few "highlights" on the flower petals.  My checked ribbon was just a little too white so I used a little distress ink to alter the color a bit and then tied a bow with this fun twine.  Then I went around the edges of the paper with the distress ink.  I added a little pen work to the card for a last little finishing touch... hope you like it - have a great Monday!!

H{Ippity} Hop - Enjoy the Ride...

This is my Dog Days of Summer challenge card.  This car and the sayings I used really remind me of a vintage summer.  I don't know why...I never had a convertible to go riding with the top down in the summer - but it sure sounds good doesn't it!!  I used Ippity stamp sets Authentic Man and Life is the Journey -both are in stock and available for purchase here!!  Have a great Monday!

It's FRIDAY!!! Unity Friends with Flair Day :)

Christmas card #2 only 78 more to go!! I love this Ippity Thoughts from the Past postcard!! It is the perfect size and will work with so many different cards!!  Gotta love a versatile stamp!!  The Joy is from Ippity Season of Joy!! If you haven't taken a peek at this one yet you should!! Oh my goodness those snowflakes are amazing!! My DP is Webster's pages. Crinkly ribbon I made myself and some fun little lace on the side.  Hope you have a great Friday - I am off work today volunteering at Special Olympics - they are letting me DRIVE a golf cart!!! How fun is that!! Of course it's partly because I know absolutely NOTHING about golf and wouldn't be much help!! I hope I know where to drive...

H(ippity) Hop Monday

I have lots of Ippity fun to share today.  This weekend was the first time I had time to play with these GORGEOUS snowflakes from the Season of Joy set I used them on a tri-fold gift card holder and a layout with pictures from 5 YEARS AGO.  Felt good to pull out some old pictures and play.  The first card is my favorite - love how it turned out.  I used my favorite stamp from Where You Should Be.  These sets can all be purchased by clicking here.  I have also been working on some things to share here on Thursday - NEW RELEASE DAY!!!! See you then!
