It's IPPITY Release Day!!

and I am so excited to be helping out on the Ippity Blog - we have a brand new challenge where you can win a $20.00 Gift Certificate to the Ippity Chick of your choice!!  This first challenge is to make Anything but a Card.  Here is my layout for the challenge.

I only used three sheets of paper (Echo Park), a piece of cardstock, a little ribbon, twine, two pins and of course my fabulous Flowers + Friends = Priceless stamps.  I stamped the flowers several times on two sheets of printed paper and cut out.  These stamps will be a new favorite because I LOVE using flowers as embellishments on my cards and layouts!!  The journaling box stamp is from Life's Little Moments set and I printed the quote from my computer after I stamped the box.  The I added the little heart from House a Home.  Stamps are perfect for scrapbooking as well as card-making!!

I would love to be YOUR Ippity Chick! Click here to see all of the stamp sets and remember everything is 10% off (I will send you a paypal refund after you check out) - and I always include free 6x6 paper, handmade fabric flowers and FREE shipping on order over $40.00!

Ippity Hip Hop Monday

I am so sorry to be late getting this up this morning!!  This first card I made for the kissing technique this week on Simply Scrapping Crafts.  I inked the flower stamp from Ippity set So This is Love with fluid chalk ink first and then inked my Bit of Burlap stamp with brown - then kissed the flower stamp into the Bit of Burlap (added a little extra brown just at the edges and then stamped onto the cardstock.  Fun technique and great challenge.  The next two cards I made for Kelly's Birthday Ippity Challenge but couldn't decide which I liked better.  All of these Ippity sets are in stock and ready to send out to a good home!! Remember I have Free 6x6 papers, embellishments and Free Handmade Fabric Flowers with every order!!  I will be mailing these cards along with my other Hope you Can Cling To challenge cards!! Have a great Monday!

Thanks to Angie Blom I found a great new place for challenges, shopping and inspiration.  You definately need to check out Simply Scrapping Crafts.  This layout is for April's Week 1 Sketch Challenge (yes, there is a new sketch every week on Saturdays (and prizes!!).  There are also lots of other challenge groups to join.  I joined a technique challenge group, a card group, a color group and more!!  My layout below will go in Mindi's baby book (only 5 more weeks until Maci arrives!! - we had a shower for her today!!)  I made lots of fun felt embellishments.  I cut the felt with my spellbinders dies.  For the white flower I used a running stitch and then pulled it for a scrunchy flower look.  I love how it turned out.  The papers are BoBunny Jazymne and Double Dot and Basic Grey Kioshi.  I also used Core'dinations cardstock.  I used my new fabric thickers for the word new and an Ippity stamp for the word family.  (the journaling block is Unity - January KOM) And speaking of Ippity - there will be new releases on May 13th and I will have them all available for you!! If you have any questions about this layout or Ippity stamps, send me an email!! Have a great Monday!

Hope everyone had a fabulous Easter!! Mine couldn't have been better!!  This 2 page layout is part of what I will be teaching at our May 1st Retreat.  I loved using this new Pink Paisley paper!! It is gorgeous for any type of pictures! Of course it is perfect for cards too.  I used Ippity stamps from Love in Return and Life's Little Moments.  Both of these kits are awesome for scrapbooking!  If you would like to purchase either of these kits or any other Ippity kit, send me an email - I would love to send some your way.  If you want to make sure you get signed up for the May 1st Retreat - send me an email about that and I will get the information out to you.  Have a great Monday.
