The letters are Tim Holtz Grungeboard. I painted them with cream acrylic paint, stamped with Ippity's Music of my Heart Background stamp, then a little green paint on top, finished off with some lime green stickles. 
This was a mini card I made for Eryn's challenge IHHC50. I've shared it on SCS but not here on my blog yet. It was a crazy weekend in my house so I didn't have time to make anything new. Christmas party on Friday night, parade and spa party on Saturday, then my beautiful niece's christening on Sunday, all accompanied by a house full of company all weekend! Loved every minute of it!
When I look at this set, I really think more along the lines of bright fun colors, however, I thought I'd go for a different look with more natural muted tones. Okay, I have to admit, it was more about laziness, because these supplies were with me in my living room and everything else was 2 floors up in the disaster I sometimes call my craft room!
Welcome back for day 4 of Growing In Unity! I made this card with these beautiful Making Memories papers and some Amuse woodgrain cardstock for the Unity Hip Hop Sketch Challenge HHSC34. The wreath is from the Unity July 2010 Kit of the Month, love this image, it can be used for Christmas, fall or any other time of year-so versatile!
My card today is made with another Ippity new release and some fussy cutting. I am just having too much fun with these stamps! Make sure to leave a comment again today for your chance to win a prize from Unity at the end of the week! In addition to being the Growing In Unity gal this week, I am also the Unity Addict Challenge Guest, and I am challenging you to make a card using the "fussy cutting" technique. This originated as a quilting term, but is now also popular in papercrafting and basically means to cut out a design from paper to add dimension. So stop by the Unity Challenge forum on Splitcoast Stampers for another way to win a prize from Unity!
Welcome to Day 2 of Growing In Unity! Today I thought I would share a card made with the new Ippity release set, Cuppy Cakes. I paper pieced the cupcake wrapper with some Martha Stewart designer paper and used my Spellbinders Ovals and Scalloped Ovals to cut the same paper for the background of the cupcake. The rest of the cupcake was colored with copics. The sentiment stamp is from Party Hat Wishes, another new Ippity release.
Gotta "post & run" today! Made this card with the ippity new release stamps~check 'em out HERE! Be sure to come back tomorrow, I'll be sharing a card each day this week for Growing In Unity. Leave a comment all week for a chance to win a fun prize from Unity! Next stop on the hop is LISA.
Luke and I made these turkeys for his pre-school class, so I thought I would share these as well!
Thanks for stopping by today, I'm going to keep it brief. It's 1:30 am and I just got back from my midnight shopping spree. Tired and stuffed from all the Thanksgiving goodies!
I had so much fun with it, that I made 2 cards, instead of 1. I really love these vintage images and how they fit with my Spellbinder dies. I love the clean look you get when you have a die that matches the stamped image. Anyway, thanks for taking a peek at my cards! Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! 
I cut this cute window frame card out on my cricut, then stamped the overlying frame with Gurnsey Gingham using Ranger Rusty Hinge Distress Ink. The cute sheer ruffly ribbon is actually from a jewelry making kit that I got on clearance at Michaels', so it's supposed to be part of a necklace. I covered that with a row of Amuse twinkles in green. The sentiment panel was cut from a Nestabilities label die and then stamped with the word "enjoy" from the new release set "How YOU Doin" *hence my title*.
Happy Friday! I hate the feeling of getting sick right before the weekend, but I think it's happening - blah! I guess it was inevitable since my little guy was sick last week and I could only fight it off for so long.
The second card I am sharing is made with the very unique and totally cute "Farm Fresh" that is great for all you country girls and boys out there!
All 8 sets as well as the Cosmo Cricket 6x6 Mini Deck Circa 1934 are available for purchase HERE and NOW! Some sets are in stock and others are on order and will be sent upon receipt from Ippity.

Only 3 more days until the new Ippity Fall 2010 release! The first two sets were revealed yesterday on the Ippity blog. Did you see them?! They are FABULOUS! I played with them all weekend and enjoyed every minute of it!
I also made these 2 cards with stamps from the older releases. 
I don't know about you but I am looking forward to the weekend! For the usual reasons, but also because starting on Sunday, the Ippity DT will start sharing projects made with the new release scheduled for November 18th! YAY! I can't wait to be inspired by all of their talent.
I know, it's only November, but December will be here before we know it! So I have another Christmas card to share today. I just love the "Season Of Joy" set by Ippity and it works perfectly with Nestabilities Labels 13.

As soon as I discovered the Waltzingmouse site, I fell in love with so many of Claire's stamps! Coming from an Irish family with many relatives still in Ireland, the Irish Blessings set appealed to me immediately. I ordered them along with a few other sets and I finally got around to inking them up this past weekend.
I have a holiday card to share with you today using stamps from {ippity}'s Season of Joy set and Music of My Heart. This card is also being shared for Kelly's challenge ( HYCCT04) on SCS as part of the Hope You Can Cling To Challenges going on all month. Her challenge is Four by Four, use four layers of paper and four embellishments/additions to your card. I used ribbon, button, twine and stickles.
The base of the mini book is a Sizzix die and the holly is die cut from Tim Holtz grungeboard paper, then sprayed with Smooch Spritz and stickled a bit with copper Stickles. I used Fancy Pants Tradition throughout my project, love this line!
Do you recognize this Christmas tree?! This is one of Unity's new Itty Bitty's, if you haven't checked these out yet, they are so cool! Great size stamp for a great price!
Some more crepe paper and Martha Stewart glitter, with a few Martha Stewart snowflakes punched and layered.
