FWF Friday and Class examples!

Don't you just L♥O♥V♥E this new LYB Elizabeth Park line of paper?!!  I will be using this layout for some pictures of Maci playing outside!  (Is it wrong to have the layout before the pictures? LOL)  This two-page layout along with the card here are projects I will be teaching on Friday night April 15th.  You can click on the picture to see it larger.  The second page fits a 5x7 photo perfectly or you can use a 4x6 with a mat.  I think this will be perfect for any outdoor pictures, pictures of flowers or pretty trees, etc.   I will have 3 more cards as well and Cynde will be teaching 2 layouts!!  If you are interested in signing up for the class - shoot me an email!!  AND if you are loving these Ippity stamps as much as I do click here and order some for yourself!! I have some sweet prices and awesome freebies!!

*note for class - please bring your normal scrapbook tool kit along with adhesive that works well with ribbon, scissors and 3D foam squares.

H{Ippity} Hop Monday!!

This is one of my favorite projects ever!! I made this when I saw the All Things Unity challenge to use bling (I had just gotten this fabulous new fairy dust glitter from clearsnap LOVE THIS!!) but I also had to have a wall-hanging for The Outlawz Scrapbook DT challenge. I made the rolled flowers with old hymnal paper and my new floral doily spellbinder die. Then I added glue to the edges and glitter! The pearls in the centers of the flowers were colored with a copic to match the ribbon.  The shape is fancy pants chipboard.  I painted it with gesso then with MM paint.  While it was still wet I sprinkled glitter all over it.  I used silk ribbon for the hanger and for the ruched border. I used the Amazing Ippity Sing a New Song set - love this one and it's in stock and I would love to ship one out to you!!  This looks so great with the super sweet picture of Maci :)  Enjoy the hop - you can find the rest of the participants on the Ippity Blog.

H{Ippity} Hop Monday!!

This card is for the Ippity Challenge inspiration photo - I was inspired by the flowers :)  and also for the All Things Unity Challenge to use Bling - I used Fairy Dust glitter, smooch spray and large pearls that I colored with a copic to match the purple.  The paper is BoBunny which I folded up to make a pocket. Stamps are from Ippity Sing a New Song and Ippity Life is the Journey.  I cut old hymnal paper with my new floral doily Spellbinders dies! Love it! They made the cutest flowers!!  I will be using this one a lot!! OK have a great Monday and head back to the Ippity blog for more Inspiration.

H{Ippity} Hop Monday!!

Happy FWF Friday!!

Don't you just love this time of year? So what sneaks are you loving? I have too many favorites to list!!! So for today I am actually entering some challenges!! This first card is for the Etsy Inspired Challenge. This week Nanny's Room was where we were to find inspiration - there were lots of beautiful pieces to choose from. This is what I chose. For my card I used my new Unity Store Kit Deepest Sympathy and Simply Said.  I know I will use this set a lot because the sentiments are needed and the images are beautiful!! My card is going to friends who just found out he has colon cancer.

For my second card I am entering the Ippity challenge to use brads. This card was inspired by a card my super talented friend Pryn did and I have wanted to do something like this since I fell in love with her card!
Here's her's - isn't it gorgeous!!

and this is mine!  I used brads for the centers of my flowers. I know this picture does not show the pink very well for some reason. It is cute in real life!  The wildflowers are from Ippity set Sing a New Song and the quote is from Devoted. Thanks for visiting!  Enjoy your Friday! Don't forget to check out the rest of the Unity Inspiration by starting at the Unity blog.

Ippity Hip Hop

So how is everyone's Christmas preparations coming along?  I am STILL making calendars!  I only have 6 more so maybe next week I will have something new to share LOL!! I am also still so very hooked on the Sing a New Song set so yep you get to see one more calendar using my new favorite birdie!! I also thought this Quotes a'la Happy quote was perfect for calendars.The quote Take Time to Laugh from a Unity Kit of the Month is also perfect for these I added Just Because from Ippity kit How You Doin' isn't it cute!!  Michaella and I made 12 calendars for her friends and co-workers today too!! I don't have pictures of hers yet but they turned out cute too!!  Last project is inspired by SSC DT Theresa Lee!! She did an awesome tree out of a paperback book you can see it here.  I had to make one too.  I stamped Dots for Sure on mine using red Ippity ink and also used a stipple brush to add more red to my old hymnal paper before folding it.  I also added some glitter.  It turned out really cute in real life.  Enjoy your monday!!

Unity Friends with Flair time again!!!

I have a few more calendars to share today.  I used a variety of Unity and Ippity stamps and the Lilac House line of paper from Fancy Pants!!  I still have lots more I want to make so I sure hope you don't get sick of seeing them LOL! And PLEASE check back tomorrow too for the SSC Holiday Blog Hop - we will have lots of inspiration and prizes!!
