Sweet Thoughts of Spring

Friends with Flair Fun

Sorry for the terrible pictures.  Both of these layouts are made with the kits that I am including with the Moonbeams and Heartstrings Ippity Stamp Set.  (the thickers and large white brad are not included - everything else is) The first layout is from "Ultrasound Day" Mindi is going to journal around the edge about how they felt seeing the ultrasound and finding out that they are having a Girl!!  The second layout will be for a sleepy picture once Maci gets here!! Check out all the other Unity fun by starting at the Unity blog.  If you would like more information about Ippity stamps please email me!!

I had an Ippity VSN weekend!!

Well at least part of the weekend - I got busy on Saturday and didn't get to do much but I did get several challenges done Friday night.  It was a lot of fun and really got me out of my normal comfort zone.
This first card had to be blue and white - I used my cuttlebug and sanded the blue paper and colored in some of the letters with a blue copic that matched the blue.  Not the best card ever but I thought it would be a nice guy card and I got it done in the allotted 45 minutes.  The second card here was a sketch and it was my first challenge.  It was very challenging LOL!!  The 3rd card turned out better than I thought it would.  I colored over some whitewash core'dinations cardstock with my copics then embossed it with my cuttlebug.  I then sanded the cardstock and colored my fishy with the same copics.  It turned out better than I expected. The fourth card was a music challenge and I used my new PTI cardstock and some of the background paper from My Minds Eye that you can buy from Ippity.  Love the distressed look.  THE LAST card is my favorite!! The challenge was to use white on white and I love how this one turned out!! In person you can see the snowy shimmerz vibez I used on the embossed paper, ribbon and flower.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!  Have a great Ippity Monday!! If you would like to see more inspiration go to the Ippity blog for the h{ippity} list.

I did a layout!! Yippie!!

and with this awesome Love in Return kit it was easy! I did add the pearls; the butterfly stamp was from Unity Bevy of Butterflies; and, the fun stamp is from Unity Time for Travel - if you purchase this kit from me and work on it during the March 6th crop I will have these extra stamps available, if not, I would be happy to stamp up the butterflies for you and include them with your kit. I have lots of stuff left in my kit and I hope to do another couple of layouts - I am in the scrappin' mood again!! and there are lots of other super cute stamps in this kit that are begging for ink!! This kit is only $18.00 ALL these amazing STAMPS and the papers and embellishments too!! Can't beat it - send me an email!!

I do need to point out that my daughter hates this picture - it was from 3 years ago and she has changed a lot but I like it and several others I took that day so I will be using them anyway! and life is interesting and fun because of her and of course, her sister too!!

Have a fabulous friends with flair day - check out the rest of the inspiration by going to Angela's Amazing blog!!  I am taking off work early and getting my hair done then spending the evening at VSN hope to see you there!!

A Regal Greeting to you!!

I need to take a picture of this entire kit - it is packed!!!!  Here are a few cards I made using the kit and the beautiful Regal Greetings stamp set.  We will also be using this set during class on March 6th - if you haven't signed up yet you can get more information by clicking the link on the side bar or by emailing me!  Happy Wednesday :)

Music of My Heart

I still have lots of playing to do with this kit!!  It is a fun one with tons of stuff in it!!  I love how this first card turned out!!  The green grid is a transparency cut with my nesties!! I stamped the music background on some background paper and again over the background paper which was already layered onto the white.  The felt flowers were also cut with my nesties.  And don't you just love the sentiment "life is a song. sing it loud".  For the other two cards I used some of the more vintage papers in the kit.  I want to use some of these great stamps and papers on some scrapbook layouts too. Everything you see here is available for purchase in the Music of my Heart kit.  If you would like to purchase it send me an email. (you can see the full set of stamps by clicking the Ippity blinkie on the side bar. The key in this set is so pretty!!)

Ippity Hop Monday - IS "Right where you should be!!"

This is a really fun set!! My cards today were all made using the kit I have for sale which includes this stamp set and lots of paper and embellishments! My super talented friend Nikki bought this kit from me and she also has several AWESOME layouts (and a card!!) on her blog using it!! the only items on these cards not included in the kit is the little flower brad and the white card base for the very last card (which was probably my first ever 5 minute card - and I love it!!)  Hope you had fun checking out all the fabulous Ippity today.  I will be back tomorrow with Music of my Heart!

FWF - February KOM Fun

I took a tiny little break from my new Ippity stamps to ink up the February KOM.  I like how this simple little card turned out - but if you wanna see something really CAAA-UTE check out the new Unity Blog!!

What Matters Most

I absolutely LOVE these stamps!!  They are so fun - What Matters Most is my favorite from this release!! Love the inspirational messages AND the cute images!! Click on Ippity Winter 2010 to see the full set.  I had so much fun putting together KITS to go along with each stamp set.  This Kit was really fun and I love everything in it!!  If you purchase What Matters Most from me you will receive the stamps AND enough paper and embellishments to make LOTS of projects. Take a peek at what I did with mine. And I still have lots of stuff left to make more.  (FYI - if you like this one let me know quickly I only have 3 left and when they are gone I will have to reorder and it will come a different papers and embellishments.)  In the post 2 posts down I have used several of the sets to make the examples of what I will be teaching in the upcoming class.

Let me know what you think!!  Leave me a comment and let me know which new stamp set is your favorite and which you would like to see featured next!! (I featured Fishy Philosophy in my last post)
