Wow yesterday Unity has some fun stuff going on. The new releases are really great I had to order inside and out! Awesome sentiments! If you don't have the Unity Blog bookmarked you definitely should. Every Thursday is Unity Day and to join in the fun you need to check out that blog! 

My card for today is one that I will be teaching at our May 1st retreat!  I used Daisy Bucket paper and made a gift card holder.  I think this is such a fun way to give a gift card!  During class you will be able to use whichever sentiment you want under the circle - to say thanks or happy birthday or whatever.  I used lots of Ippity stamps to create this card.

H{ippity} hop & spring cleaning!

I had a great weekend! Was featured on the Ippity blog (see the post below) and was inspired by the All Things Unity blog challenge to use scraps.  So I cleaned up my scrapbook table and I am a bit ashamed to say I have let the scraps pile up for quite a while!!  I made this card for my dd's boyfriend (every bit of it was in the scrap pile.  I don't even remember using that green mesh LOL!!)  Then as I continued to clean things up a bit I made 6 more cards using only scraps from the pile - and I am talking entire cards!! Even the card bases came out of the scrap pile!! It's too rainy to get good pictures of all of them but I will try to get them all on this week. 

Be sure to check the post below - the blog candy for leaving a comment on the Sweet Thoughts of Spring Sale ends at 8:00 p.m. tonight.  The blog candy for making a purchase ends Friday night at 8:00 p.m.  Good luck!!

Guess What I have?

2 things really... Spring FEVER and new Purple Ippity Ink!!  Actually it is French Lilac doesn't that just sound gorgeous?!!  I used the new ink for both of these cards.  Both cards also have the Sweet Thoughts of Spring Ippity stamps (which is on SALE click the link on the sidebar to the right!!)  The first card I used one of the fun borders in the Spring Kit.  and the You are fabulous sentiment from Right Where You Should Be.  Hello Spring uses two stamps from the Spring Kit and the Butterflies from What Matters Most.  Isn't it great how all these stamps are so versatile!!  The papers are Crate - Kaitlyn (which I have had since I went to CKC last year and thought I better use up before I go back this year LOL!!) I LOVE the purple - I don't know why I waited so long to use them (can you say paper hoarder!!)  I made the flower using plain cotton batting and Shimmerz Vibez.  It is so shimmery and pretty (hard to tell in this picture). Check back tomorrow for Unity Friends with Flair AND Saturday - I have a surprise on Saturday ♥

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!!

These last two cards are using the Sweet Thoughts of Spring Kit.  Check out the Sweet Thoughts of Spring Sale a few posts down!!  This Imaginisce line of paper and embellishments included with the kit is fun for these adorable little springy cards!! Thanks for looking and if you have any Ippity questions, please feel free to 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!!
