Back in the swing of things!

Happy New Year everyone, it seems like it's been forever since I've blogged or even had some time to create something!  Yesterday I finally stole away to my craft room and puttered around a bit - a little cleaning and organization and I even got a chance to make a few cards for challenges.  They're all Birthday cards as I;m trying to replenish my stash for the coming year :)

The first card was made based on this week's sketch at "Just Us Girls". I used the "Party Hat Wishes" {ippity} set, some SEI papers and finished it off with some ribbon, dew drops and glitter:

Next is a color challenge from the Play Date Cafe, with shades of pink and beige.  I stamped the background with Gurnsey Gingham, and used the "Cherish Your Dreams" and "Fall for You" sets.  Ribbon and a button finish it off:

and finally I have a card based on this week's Card Positioning Systems sketch.  More SEI birthday paper, detailed with some May Arts trim, buttons  and brads as well as some sepia accents on the chocolate of the cupcake and Rock candy stickles on the flowers.  I used the "Cuppy Cakes" and "Party Hat Wishes" {ippity} sets:

All {ippity} stamp sets are available for purchase right Here!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great week!  Till next time...
