H{Ippity} Hop Monday!!

This card is for my daughter's good friend who turned 16 yesterday!! I made the card for today's birthday challenge at The Outlawz you are to use ribbon or string (mine is twine from the twinery) and a circle which is in my DP from October Afternoon.  I also used some bling in random circles. The happy banner is from Ippity set Party Hat Wishes I love how happy and fun this card turned out!  I am also sharing my layout for this week's scrapbook challenge also at The Outlawz.  We were challenged to make a layout inspired by spring.  Mine is a wedding layout (because at the moment  when I think spring I think Michaella's wedding - which will be next spring!) The layout is much prettier in real life. The flower/bling/ribbon is not cream as it appears in the picture but actually off- white like the bride's dress accents.  Stamps are Unity Welcome Baby and Ippity A Moment in Time.

Hippity Hop Monday!!

I used some of my favorite Ippity sentiments to make this fun set of CAS cards. Love my new Twinery twine! If you love these sentiments too please click the link above and pick your favorites.  To see more Ippity inspiration, check out the Ippity blog.

Scrapbook Party Challenge at The Outlawz

This is my DT entry for the challenge at the Outlawz.  I used a heart on it so I could also enter it into the Unity challenge!! (I hardly ever combine challenges but these were both on my mind!!)  Fabulous prizes so check them both out!!!  I stamped on some sticky back canvas with flower stamps from Ippity sets Now & Always and The Simple Things.  I also stamped on canvas the sentiment together forever which is from Unity's Store kit from October 2010.  The chipboard pieces were painted with gesso and then sprayed with glimmer mist.  IRL they are so pretty!!  This layout color scheme was not my norm but I really think it turned out okay!

Keepin' it Fresh FWF Friday!!!

One of the things I love about Unity is they are always keepin' it fresh and exciting!!! One of the new fun things is a new challenge tab on the blog!! You can enter as often as you want and win some FABULOUS prizes.  I just love challenges so I hope to play often!  Today's card is for that challenge which for this month is HEARTS!  I used my January Kit of the Month.

You can see lots more fun inspiration by heading back to the Unity Blog for a list of other participants today!! Check back here again tomorrow I have a layout that will also be entered into this challenge as well as an awesome challenge at The Outlawz!! I hope you will join in the fun over there too. 100's of dollars in prizes will be given away to some very lucky winners!!!

Valentine H{Ippity} Hop

Today is my daughter's birthday! These pictures were taken during our trip this summer. These two lovebirds enjoyed a sunset cruise on a catamaran. The scrapbook challenge this week at The Outlawz is Love or Hearts - come on over and play! We also started a huge party with lots and lots of prizes (including a free Ippity set from Me!) Ippity stamps used on this layout are from a great set perfect for scrapbooking Here and Now. I do have this set in stock and would love to get one out to you! See all the other Ippity inspiration by starting at the Ippity blog.

FWF Friday!!!

It's a great Friday!! This first card is for my best friend's new GRANDDAUGHTER!! I can't wait to go see her!! I was so excited that these BRAND NEW Unity stamps Welcome Baby were in my mailbox this week!! And since I have been playing challenges too I made sure that I used 2 images for the Paper Sundaes Challenge #55 (the butterfly and the background plus I also used 2 sentiment stamps) all from the same gorgeous kit!!

This card is for the Simon Says Stamp & Show Embossing challenge.  I used an embossing folder to make the big polka dots but didn't emboss the middle area where the stamped sentiment is.  The stamp is from Unity set Inside and Out. I used the copic airbrush to darken the outside edges and lots of yummy glimmer mist for the sparkle and speckles LOL!!  The shaped card was created using my new Grand Spellbinders die.  I am so excited to have some new toys to create with!! so much fun and a great way to kick the winter blahs!!I love the way this one sparkles and shimmers in real life!!

H{Ippity} Hop Monday!!

So for this card I actually started with the Ippity sketch!  thinking I could use the heart instead of the the square and the ticket in place of the oval... well I ended up veering so far from the sketch I decided NOT to enter it in the challenge LOL!!  But I do like how the card turned out anyway and I may enter the challenge with another card.  So have your tried the Ippity challenges yet?  You can play all month with a new challenge every week and win some great prizes.  All you need are some Ippity stamps - and I can hook you UP!!!  These stamps are fabulous you will be in LOVE!!!  For this card I used So this is Love, Dots for Sure and Here and Now.  You can get all three of these sets from me for only $40, Free shipping and Free handmade flowers and 6x6 papers!!  Try Ippity today!!

Playing some challenges!

I decided to play a few challenges today - it is always so much fun I don't know why I don't do it more often!!  These first three cards are being entered into the challenge at Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge for Pink Red and White.  I was having so much fun with that color combo I just couldn't stop!!  All of these cards are Valentine cards for friends (so not so lovey dovey) but I am entering Card 3 in the Valentine challenge at Stampin' for the Weekend. Card 4 is for the Love is in the Air challenge over at Simon Says Stamp. All of my cards used stamps but I am entering the last 2 cards here in the Stamp challenge at Paperplay. The last card is for the Basic Grey Challenge to use Hearts and also the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge also to use hearts. I used new BG Hopscotch papers and there are hearts on the paper (unfortunately I covered up the hearts LOL) But the Stamp is a heart too!  All stamps are Unity or Ippity.

FWF Friday and Flowersoft!!!

This card is my first attempt at Flowersoft. FUN stuff!! I think I will be playing with this a lot!! The stamps are from the Unity January Kit of the Month.  I also stamped my little flower pot but I can't remember which set it came from. Sorry.  Stay warm and Have a GREAT Friday!!
