Our Daily Bread 2nd Anniversary Challenge #4

For this challenge we were supposed to use our favorite stamps to make a card.  I love this stamp!!  It is from this awesome Thinking of You set.  I know I will be using this a lot!! The paper is from Prima and I love it - can you see the writing?  It has the fruit of the spirit verse! and it is just so pretty.  I used a lace ribbon from Rusty Pickle that I have had forever and ran another ribbon through it, gathered it and tied a bow with twine. I thought it was really pretty.  I hope it doesn't look too much like curtains!!  The cardstock base is core'dinations and is pink inside.  I distressed the edges just a bit to complete the look. It was fun playing all the challenges for the Anniversary THANKS ODBD!!

Our Daily Bread 2nd Anniversary Challenge #3

This is my entry for Our Daily Bread Stamp's 2nd Anniversary Challenge #3 to use gold or silver.  You can see more about that here and to see the rest of the inspiration.  My card uses lots of silver prima bling.  I also used a Prima flower.  The patterned paper is from Crate Paper and the cardstock is DoubleMates.  The stamp I used comes from this pretty friendship set.

New Basic Grey Challenge - Celebration

I found a new blog called scrap-creations which is starting a new challenge every week using Basic Grey paper.  L♥ve Basic Grey and I have lots of it!  The first challenge is to make a celebration card.  I made a CAS birthday card using these cute cupcakes from Nook & Pantry, the card base is from Lime Rickey.  The stamp is Ippity Life's Little Moments (for more information on purchasing Ippity stamps click the blinkies on the sidebar or shoot me an email.  I would love to send some your way!!)

h{Ippity} hop layouts

OK so this first page doesn't have any stamping on it!! Crazy I know! The second page does and since they kinda go together I wanted to show both. I used Ippity stamp sets What Matters Most and Love in Return.  (To order these stamps send me an email - I have a sale going on too!)  The papers for these layouts are brand spankin' new from Prima called Flights of Fancy I got mine at ACOT.  I L♥VE L♥VE L♥VE these papers.  I also used the brown polka dot from the LUSH line from My Minds Eye (also at ACOT).  The second page was sprayed with Shimmerz Vibez Spritz over the butterfly mask from Tattered Angels.  It is soooooo shimmery. I also used the spritz on the flowers.  Click on the photo to see the layouts better. I entered both of these into challenges on the ACOT forum.

PageMaps Sketch Challenge Layout from ACOT

A Cherry on Top is a fun online store that I like a lot.  It has fun challenges every month and online crops every so often. I made a layout using a PageMaps Sketch for this Challenge. (I tried to upload the sketch I used but blogger isn't liking it. - if you click the link it is the 5th sketch).  I used Kaiser Craft, Making Memories and Reminisce papers. I also used Prima Bling and Ippity Stamps Regal Greetings and Love in Return!   If you would like to see all of the Ippity Stamps I have available for purchase click the blinkies on the right.  These are amazing quality stamps (a sister company to Unity and only available from Ippity Chicks like ME)  I would love to send some your way!!

Send me an email if I can help!  To see the layout a little better click on it.  Sorry for the bad picture.

Our Daily Bread 2nd Anniversary Challenge

What a wonderful celebration for an awesome company with beautiful religious stamps!!  For this challenge we had to use cotton.  My card uses cotton ribbon and cotton twill. (the felt is 100% wool - but so cute I wanted to use it too LOL).  I also used my new Kaiser Craft Devonshire 6x6 pad, a Jenni Bowlin button and Core'dinations cardstock. I cut the brown shape with my nestie and embossed with a cuttlebug folder. The beautiful stamp set is called Get Well.  I know I will be using it alot.

BoBunny Sketch Challenge and More Spring Fun

BoBunny is one of my favorite paper companies!! Robyn Weatherspoon designed the sketch for the challenge - you can see more about it here. and since I just ♥ Robyn's stuff I had to play along!!  I used a kraft card base, then BoBunny DoubleDot, then I layered with two papers from the Unforgettable line and the Abbey Road line (which is still one of my favorites!!) The stamp is Ippity (a sister company to Unity) - Where You Should Be (a fabulous kit that you can only get from Ippity Chicks like me ♥) If you would like to see the entire kit click on the winter 2010 release blinkie on the side bar.  I would love to send one your way!!
