Very excited to share a little Ippity with
you first thing this week! It's part of the
Many of you know my friend and fellow
designer over at The Play Date Cafe,
Well, she's an Ippity girl and she
sent me the 'What Matters Most' set
and what a wonderful surprise it was!
So I did a little somethin' pretty basic, but it's
so fun to try something new and play with
new stamps, isn't it?!
One of the great things about this set for me,
is that my 7 year old grandson, CJ helped cut
out these houses...so it has just a little more
'special-ness' for me : )
Everything was stamped with chalk inks in a
variety of colors and shaded with Tim Holtz
'old paper' distress ink.
By the way...my color combo here?
It was inspired by a tank top and jacket I
saw in the window of the Chico's store at
the mall where Paul works.
It just goes to show that inspiration can come
from pretty much ANYWHERE!
Stop by the Ippity blog and check
out the others who are 'hopping' with me!
One more thing....
The card just above came with the stamp set from
Savannah...it's also created with Ippity. I had no idea
when leaving a comment on her post the day she
featured this card, that the 'special person' she was
sending this to was me....I actually told her that
"I would really like to see that butterfly up close"!
Thank you Savvy.....it's just as beautiful as I thought!

Oh, I love the cards, both yours and Sav's (she is a great person!) but I really love how you shared that you were able to create something with your grandson. I love to hear when other people stamp with "the littles" especially when they are boys.
