H{ippity} Hop Monday

For today's H{ippity} Hop, I made this cute little bird magnet using the birds from Ippity's Fall For You and the sentiment from Simply Home, along with some Girls Paperie.  The shape was die cut from my Stampin' Up Top Note Die and then I added a couple of magnet strips on the back. The doily is die cut from Papertrey Ink's Doily Details Collection, and the strip of vintage cream cardstock is embossed with Swiss Dots, then distressed with Ranger Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Thanks for stopping by today, make sure to visit Sarah, she is the next stop on the hop!

Cherish Your Dreams

I love this Ippity stamp set, you've seen me use it before and I'm sure you will see me use it again :) I made the flower from coffee filters, inspired by Lynn. She makes beautiful flowers out of so many different elements and this is one idea I learned from her blog. I die cut the coffee filters with my scallop circles in two different sizes, sprayed with Gingerbread Glimmer Mist, let them dry and then crinkled them up. I stitched them together and added this beautiful brown resin flower from Maya Road. The Ippity images were stamped on PTI Vintage Cream cardstock, then inked with Antique Linen. The butterfly was colored with Copics and I embossed the oval frame with my Swiss Dots embossing folder.
Thanks for stopping by for this week's H{ippity} Hop. The next stop is Andrea with some Ippity inspiration for you!

Hello

Happy H{ippity} Hop Monday! Did everyone watch the Superbowl? I went to a party and the hosts are HUGE Green Bay Packers fans so it was pretty exciting, a happy place to be!
I made this card following a sketch but for the life of me I cannot find the sketch or the source of it right now...if you recognize it, please let me know so I can give credit! *thanks*! I am entering this into this week's challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room, the theme is Sweethearts and there is a beautiful and *sweet* inspiration photo.
I used last year's Pink Paislee Valentine line, with little hearts on the cloud. Love the colors in this line so much and the colors of the challenge are pink, green, brown & neutral. Using doilies, polka dots, flowers, lace, ribbons ... OR ALL! ! So, I have the pink, little touch of green, brown and neutral along with hearts and lace. The sentiment is from Ippity's How YOU Doin'? and the cute little tree is from Bella Blvd's Bella Trees by Unity.

I Know, I Know...

I disappear off the face of the earth, then I come back with yet ANOTHER tag! Sorry, I can't help myself, I am a tiny bit addicted! AND, they are also VERY quick which is good for me right now since I am conducting a MAJOR overhaul of my loft "aka" my crafting space. It has been such a disaster that my husband is ready to call "Hoarders" on me, so being the new year and all, I decided to finally stop making excuses and do something about it. Therefore, I haven't had much time to create! The good news is, once it's done, I will have more space, more time and will be able to find things, so my projects will be BETTER! haha! I will no longer have to "make do" and will be able to use the stash that I've been forever collecting and hoarding!

Anyway, here is the tag I made tonight to share for today's H{ippity} Hop..oh how I've missed you, my

H{ippity} Hop!!!

Supplies:

Stamp~Ippity Sing a New Song

DP~Bo Bunny

Cardstock~Papertrey Kraft

Dots Cardstock~Unknown

Ink ~Ranger Distress Ink, Victorian Velvet & Worn Lipstick, Colorbox Chestnut

Other~Copic Marker, Martha Stewart Border Punch, Basic Grey Button, Martha Stewart Baker's Twine

And just for fun, a picture of my car (what you can see of it) after the December 26th blizzard commenced. Normally I would embrace this kind of day as a crafting marathon, however, my sister and her family were snowed in with us, so instead we spent some quality time together, eating, drinking, and laughing! A good time was had by all!  

Next stop on the hop is the OH SO TALENTED Lynn with an adorable Valentine gift bag, or if you didn't come from the beginning, check out the Ippity blog for a full list of hop participants!

Just A Note

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!

Hope you had a great weekend too!

Next stop on the hop is Jen.

H{ippity} Hop Monday~Fall Challenge

I made two pages of my son's Pre-School Orientation for the Ippity Fall Challenge, IHHC40. The first page uses Dots for Sure and Bit of Burlap on the leaves. The second page uses the photo corners from Fall For You-all available for purchase HERE. (It was getting dark by the time I photographed the 2nd page, hence the "blah" photo!)

The DP I used is from Nikki Sivils Tree Love collection, along with a few Martha Stewart border punches and button embellies. Nothing too elaborate, but I am really trying to get back into scrapbooking to document these important days for my son.

Thanks for stopping by today!

My sister came to visit for the weekend, so I didn't have any crafty time this weekend. We went to the beach and went boating~lots of fun! So I don't have a new ippity project to share today, but I did make this very simple card the other day with one of my favorite Unity sentiment stamps.
Thanks for stopping by, see you tomorrow with a flower tutorial!
