I can't thank you enough for all the lovely messages
that were sent, both here as comments and privately.
If you read my last post, you'll know that my creativity
came to a screeching halt this past week.
So I thought the best way to get it up and running again
was to take on a challenge or two. Even that didn't come
as easily as I had hoped, but I do have two to share.
I love making these flowers!
It's a combination of papers from BasicGrey's new 'Jovial' line
and Tim Holtz's 'Tattered Florals' die cut.
The center bling is from Prima.
The sentiment is also die cut from Sizzix/BasicGrey's combo
dies for the holidays.
The next challenge is something completely different.
My dear friend Savannah O'Gwynn is on
the 'All Things Unity' DT and I love to support
my friends when I can.
This week they in turn, our supporting
Jennifer McGuire's 'Card's for Kids' drive
by using that as their challenge.
Of course, the main requirement is to use anything
Unity or Ippity, and on this card....I went all Ippity.
The stamps are from the following sets:
'Just Wanted to Say' (sentiment)
'A Little Buggy' (ladybug)
'Because of You' (flower)
I paper-pieced the flower and ladybug using a variety
of scraps in coordinating colors.
The twine is from my new favorite place...
Just a little reminder....all the Ippity stamps shown here
or on any of my posts are always available in my little
'Ippity Shop' here...if they are not pictured, please don't
hesitate to ask...I get behind in my updates sometimes.
Well...that's it for now.
I have a fun Halloween card to share with you tomorrow
and hopefully one or two other projects that I am working on.
I hope you will let me know you were here by leaving
a quick note in the comment section...thank you kindly.
