Ippity Hop


Happy Ippity Monday I am back from my little vacation from Georgia and in one word I can describe our trip HOT!!!! It was good to go away for a few days take a little break but I am happy to be home not so happy about the laundry that I have to tackle.
This week challenge is brought to us by the amazingly talented Karen and it is to base our card on the inspiration photo not sure if I really did that but I think it works.I love the light blue with the pop of colors I used some Basic Grey Lemonade DP and the Ippity Kits I used are Where You Should Be and Just Wanted To Say.

PTI

Scroll down for Whimsy Haven Blog Hop!!!

So it's been a really long time since I have used any PTI and I thought today would be the day to make a quick and easy card using some of the latest products from them. Here is what I am loving lately from Papertrey Ink one is their new dies they are fabulous, second loving that they make stamps to go along with them. I have always been a big fan of their sentiment sets can never have to many of them. I love that they are coming out with felt which I have but have not used it yet I used Heather Baily felt on this card. Also huge fan of their cardstock love the fresh fun colors and love that they have ribbon and buttons to go along with the colors they come out with. Just my thoughts for todays card I made for my friend Jenny's challenge to do some stitching on your card. Ok I better get back to work I am stressed and overwhelmed by how much work I have to do we are going away for a few days next week and I am trying to get all my projects and posts done for next week it seriously has been a full time job I love it but it's alot of work.
Wish me luck!!!

Hip Hop Thursday




Once again Maria has done it again with this fabulous Sketch love it!!!! I used some fun K and Company Dp that I had gotten for a project and never ended up using it oh well I am sure I can find other uses for it . I used Delightful Little Things again man I love these quote stamps they are the best.



This second card I had so much fun creating. I have been on the look out for some good felt so I can make my own darn embellies instead of spending 5.00 for one package. So I know a couple people have mentioned Heather Bailey so I went to check it out and I adore the colors, even better she puts bundles together for you and I love that I was a little nervous because I did go a little crazy buying the stuff and I was happy to discover that my dies cut through it beautifully!!
The sentiment is from a previous Ippity kit What Matters Most.

Make sure to check out the Unity Blog for more inspiration and they have new releases coming out today boy am I in trouble!!!
