Paper Maniac Inspiration Saturday

Hello, and Happy Saturday!! Hope y'all have FUN weekends planned and hopefully you can grab some crafty time too. I have to work today, and Sunday we have a family event to attend, however, I am hoping to grab some crafty time to play with my new goodies from Paper Maniac!! The card above was made with some of those new goodies: the Unity Stamp Co January Stampin Store Kit, Basic Grey Origins paper (which I must say, is OH so YuMmY), some new rectangle nesties, and that gorgeous lace eyelet trim came in the box too.

Here is a detail shot showing the gorgeous trim, papers, and nesties.

Supplies: Stamps: Unity Stamp Co- Jan Stampin Store Kit. Papers: Ivory base, Basic Grey- Origins DSP. Ink: Memento- Black and Dandelion (used to sponge some color onto the trim). Accessories: Copics, Large rectangle nesties and Large scalloped rectangle nesties (check out the sale on Nesites 4-packs- until January 18th!!) eyelet trim, green pearls, glitter glue, and Martha Stewart Double Loops punch.

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a FABULOUS weekend.

It's Just Another {IPPITY} Monday

It's just another {Ippity} Monday....doesn't that sound so much better than Manic Monday?? I am really starting to like Mondays now, of course its probably only because I get to spend it with such lovey, talented friends, like YOU!

I'll be honest, I had a hard time making a card this week. I had all sorts of ideas running through my head, and I even ended up throwing my first card away- after showing it to hubby, and he just went, "Oh, thats uhhhhh, cute??" Hahaha- CUTE?? No, it was not cute. Into the garbage it went. So, I decided to go CAS (clean and simple) again this week. It works for me.

I was so happy to be able to use the Ippity kit- Life's Little Moments on this card. I originally thought I would just use this kit on my scrapbooking pages- but its so versatile, you can pretty much use it on any project. YAY!!

I used Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch #51, which inspired my card layout. You have to check out the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenges, they are so much fun to play along with!!

Supplies: Stamps: Ippity- Life's Little Moments. Papers: SU: Kraft, Naturals Ivory and Sassafrass- Sunshine Lollipops DSP. Ink: Vivid-Brick. Accessories: Checked Ribbon- Michaels, Flower- Prima, Dew Drops- Robins Nest, and Button- Foof-a-la.
