Happy Monday!!

It's a H{ippity} Hop day with ippity stamps!

I am actually so glad it's Monday..

I need a bit of a break... this weekend was so busy!! Sat. was opening day for softball..I didn't think we were ever going to leave the softball field..lol and Sunday we had my youngest daughters birthday party..her sisters was just 2 weekends ago :)  I love having party's..but I tend to get myself in a panic trying to make sure everything is perfect..there just seems to never be enough time to get everything done..

but enough about my weekend...

Here's my card for todays hop:

I absolutely love this chandelier stamp...I have been wanting to use this ippity stamp from the stamp kit Regal Greetings since I got it...but I just didn't know what to do with it.  That is until I found this paper...doesn't that brown paper match that stamp so well??  The DP is from The Garden Party matstack.  I actually used two ippity stamp kits on this one Regal Greetings and Where You Should Be (sentiment)

Craft Challenge Card

This week the challenge at C.R.A.F.T. is to create a Mother's Day Card or a card with a floral theme.  Here is the card I made.

I used paper from my stash on this one.  The flower I handmade using some floral paper I had.  The sentiment is from the ippity stamp set Regal Greetings and the stamp behind the flower is from the ippity stamp set Love in Return, I stamped it onto kraft paper and then cut it out.  The scalloped borders were stamped with the Sweet Thoughts of Spring ippity stamp kit...I just love these scallops the set has 4 different ones, I use them all the time. You can view these sets here.  I used ink from ippity in Burnt Umber.  The ribbon and buttons are from my stash.

Hello There!!

Here is a card I made using the sketch for the C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #38.  I used Sweet Thoughts of Spring- ippity stamp set.  The paper is My Minds Eye and from the ippity Winter Collection.  You can view more of the stamp set I used here.  The buttons are from my stash and the ribbon is from target.  I colored in the rabbit with colored pencils.  I made the little paper flower with some of the paper from the same collection. Thanks so much for looking!!

P.S. I love Comments:)

I love this little Chick!!

Here is a my take on Laura's Sketch #46 at 2 Sketches 4 You. My layout is tweaked a little I used this adorable little oval Chick stamp to represent the oval in this sketch.. Hope you like it:)

I just love this little chick I stamped using my Sweet Thoughts of Spring {ippity} stamp set- you can view this set HERE. (all stamps on this card are from this pack).  I cut the doilies with my Cricut and then stamped the chick.  I colored him in with colored pencils.  I then stamped the flowers twice, colored them in, cut them out, and glued them to the doily.. I love the way they turned out. The paper is My Minds Eye and from the {ippity} Winter collection.  The sentiment is stamped. The scallops were also stamped, this is a border stamp, I cut it out, cut it in half and then layered the two.  The buttons are from my stash I thread them and stuck them on with sticky dots.  The ribbon is from Target.. the dollar bins.  Thanks for looking!!

St. Patty's Day Card

I made this St. Patty's Day card for the St. Patricks day theme challenge at Paper Popsicles.  The paper is from my stash, I cut the hat with the clover on my Cricut- Designers Calendar cart.  I used the cuttlebug Stylized Flower folder on the white cardstock square, I also inked and chalked the edges. I chalked around the Hat and the papers and added the little lines to the hat.  I used raffia for the right side and made the scallop look.  The sentiment was actually the free one from Paper Popsicles this week, I printed it out and layered it onto brown cardstock.  I punched a hole in the card stock and tied the ribbon.  Thanks for looking!!

Easter Card- Kazans Sketch #46

Ever have one of those days where you are trying to make something...but you just can't seem to think of what you are going to do??  Well today was one of those days for me!!  I really wanted to make a card for 2 Sketches 4 You but each time I tried it just wasn't working for me... but then I finally got over the hump and created something..whew finally:)  Ok so here's what I made for the 2 Sketches 4 You Kazans sketch #46

The Egg and Happy Easter are from the Easter 2010 Cricut Cart.  I cut the egg layered it and chalked the right edgeof the egg.  I use my swiss dots cuttlebog folder on the blue rectangle.  I added chipboard circles behind the egg and rectangle to pop it out a little.  I also hand stitched around the papers and cardstock with a pink memory marker. Added a ribbon and the little pink papers to the egg.  On the inside of the card I added so of the DP to finish it off and used another egg with the same cutout as a stencil and colored it in with marker.  Thanks for looking!!

2 Sketches 4 You Challenge

Here is a card I made based on Kazan's sketch 45 at 2 Sketches 4 You. I have never made a circular card before, so it was quite interesting to figure out. I based this card off of a paper I had from K and Co. My daughter loved this paper with the little lions printed on it. This will be her Valentine:) I used my Cricut George Cart to cut the shapes for the lions head and pieced it together, I used foam squares to give it dimension. I used twigs for his whiskers and added rhinestones to his eyes, and added a little pink chalk for his cheeks. For his mane and the background I used my Easter 2010 cart. I added a little dangling heart, which now kind of looks like the end of his tail.

The wording inside is also from K and Co, I cut it off a pre-printed card that came with the paper pack. Thanks for looking!!

Cuttlebug Challenge Pocket Card

This is a Pocket Card I made for this months Cuttlebug Challenge. The challenge was to make a mostly red pocket card. I chose to make a Valentines Day card. I used red cardstock for the card, the paper on the front of the card is red with a red foil hearts. I used my George cart to cut the heart in red card stock then I layered it with a silouette cut in black card stock. The flowers on the front of the card were cut with my Easter 2010 cart, they are so pretty. I cut two of them and then arranged them on the heart the edges are beneath the silouette. The butterfly was cut from Designers Calendar and I layered three of them in different sizes. Then I added some rhinestones.

The heart is actually the pocket which holds another heart that says Be Mine, this heart is from the Designers Calendar cart, I cut two the same size and cut a piece of black card stock between them, so you can read Be Mine on Both sides I also glued a little raffia between them so that the heart could be pulled out.

The inside is three layered rectangles from the George Cart and a Sticker that reads Forever. I hope you like it. Thanks for looking!!

Valentines Day Cards

Here is a Valentines Day card my 9 year old made for her teacher this year. We used a pre-scored light blue card, the paper is a light blue pattern with red polka dots... her teacher is male so we thought we'd go with a blue card. The large heart in the center was cut with the Designers Calendar Cricut cart and the two smaller hearts were cut from the George cart. We added a couple rhinestones for a little bling and a cute red ribbon with hearts.
