H{ippity} Hop Monday!!

Hope everyone enjoyed a fabulous Thanksgiving with family and friends!! It's so nice to have a few days off of work and get lots accomplished around the house! We have the Christmas tree up, decorations everywhere and even the lights on the house.  I just LOVE Christmas!!  I am sharing a couple of Christmas cards I made a few weeks ago for SSC challenges.  (and then I had them at the craft show and they sold - in fact ALL of my Christmas cards sold - so... I have ZERO to send - back to the scraproom LOL!!!)  This first card has sparkly SEI paper in the background and a kind of hodge podge poinsettia.  Different but I liked it.  The second card is more my norm - distressed and lacy!!  Can you see the mistletoe stamp for the background?  Ippity stamps used are from sets Season of Joy and Kissmas & Mistletoe.

Also this weekend I put together tags for our Acteens fudge sale (to help pay for our mission trip this summer) I need to make about 25 more to finish up the 100!! We have these large boxes and some smaller ones that will have cellophane and then ribbon along with the tags in the bottom photo. Not all ippity but I thought I would share.

H{Ippity} Hop Monday

I have a couple of Christmas cards for you today for H{ippity} Hop Monday!!  Both of these cards were made for challenges at Simply Scrapping Crafts this past week.  The first was an inspiration photo challenge and the second was a challenge to use a stamp in a "non-intended" way.  I used the mistletoe stamp from Ippity set Kissmas and Mistletoe to add a background to the diecut flower.  The Merry Christmas stamp I used for both cards are from the Season of Joy Ippity set.  I have lots of Ippity stamps in stock and ready to send your way!!  Don't forget every purchase from me includes free 6x6 papers, embellishments and FREE handmade fabric flowers!!  To see more Ippity inspiration check out the Ippity Blog.
