FWF Friday

Hey! Its Friends with Flair Friday again! If this is your first stop then you should go on over to the Unity Stamp Co. Blog to get a list of blogs participating in the blog hop and to get the rules on how you could win a bunch of stamps JUST for commenting on a blog!! How cool is that!

To be honest, I had to rush to get something done for the hop today. I signed up for the hop yesterday, before I had anything made, and then my 3 year old got really clingy and I couldn't get away from him long enough to do anything! So, as soon as he was asleep last night I figured that I would get at something. The thing is, I needed to do something quick because he was not feeling well and who knows when he would be waking up again! I figured that I would make a couple of bookmarks, since I have been using scraps of paper or pieces of the Canadian Tire flyer to hold my page in the last few books that I have read! They are really simple and took no time at all. I didn't add any layers to them either because I like a nice, flat bookmark. I apologize for the pictures...for some reason the blue ink that I used just didn't want to show up right! Anyways, here they are:

For this one I used a paper towel to blot and distress all over the paper and around the edges with Unity Haystack ink. Then I stamped it using the music sheet stamp from the "Music Of My Heart" set from Ippity using Raw Sienna Unity ink. Then I used Colorbox ink to stamp the butterfly and sentiment from the Ippity "Cherish Your Dreams" set. Then I added the ribbon and voila! Done!

This one was blotted with the paper towel using haystack ink as well but the design and grooves on the paper towel gave a really awesome texture print to the paper. Then I just added the stars and moons as well as the WISH sentiment from the "Moon Beams & Heart Strings" Ippity set. Then, again, added a little bit of ribbon and it was finished! Easy peasy!

Well, that's all I have for you today. Now, keep on hopping to see what everyone else has created!

Love, Patricia

Friends with Flair Blog Hop!

Its Friday again (thank God!!) and you know what that means. Its time for the Friends with Flair Blog Hop!! If you just started here then you should hop on over to the Unity Blog to get a list of participants so you won't miss any of the awesome projects that will be shared today.

Now, on to my project! I combined this one with the Unity Hip Hop Sketch Challenge # 42 over at Splitcoast Stampers. Here is the sketch:

And here is my card:

I used Ippity stamps for this one. The I love you stamp is from the "How YOU Doin'" set that came out during the Fall 2010 release. I also used the music notes background stamp from the "Music of My Heart" set which is a part of the Winter 2010 collection. If you like any of these stamps or any other Ippity stamps you can visit my Ippity Sales Blog for information on how to purchase them.



Well, that's all I have to share with you today. Don't forget to continue on with the hop to see all the other wonderful projects!! Thanks for visiting my blog!!

Its Hippity Hop Monday!!

Yippee!! If you just started here you should hop on over to the Ippity Blog so you can start from the beginning and get to see all the beautiful projects that have been created using Ippity stamps. And, remember, if you need any Ippity stamps you can visit my Ippity Sales Blog to see all of the sets and how to order them.

Now! On to the project! This time I turned a pop top Chef Boyardee can into a wonderful Valentine's gift for Jarod's teacher. I kinda went outside my comfort zone and used some vintage-like stuff...which turned out pretty good! If you want a tutorial on how to do these cans check out the one at Splitcoast Stampers.

I am not sure what the papers were...but the tag is a shipping tag bought at Staples for about $3 for 100! A great deal! I also know what the stamps and ink are....IPPITY!!! Both the music note background stamp (on the tag) and the heart (on the tag and on the front of the can) came from the "Music of my Heart" set, which is in the Winter 2010 collection. The ink used for the music notes is Unity Haystack and the heart is stamped with Unity Moulin Rouge.

I hope you have enjoyed my project! Now continue on the blog to see all the other Ippity Inspiration created just for you!

Love, Patricia
