Happy Monday!

Hello everyone, thought I'd share a couple cards this beautiful Monday Morning - First is a card I created for one of the April ippity challenges - the color challenge to be exact.  I used some scraps of 7 gypsies paper and stamps from the "Music of My Heart" set. (both the sentiment and the music notes background)   I finished it off with some ribbon, brads and distress ink:

Next is a card I made for the challenge over at Just Us Girls.    It's a technique challenge - emboss resist.  I used several stamps from the {ippity} collection,  distress inks for the background and a squirt of glimmer mist (which you can't really see in the pic, but I promise you it's there)  A bit of fiber, some silver leafing and a button finish it of. 

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a fantastic week!

[ippity} and Unity flair!

Hello ladies, Happy Friday!  Another week gone by, another weekend upon us and time for another Friends with Flair hop!  Have I mentioned that I just love our little Friday get togethers?  Such a fun way to put to rest a long work week!  First, I'll share a card that was inspired by this week's  color challenge at the Play Date Cafe:   Beige, light Blue and Mint-ish green.  I dug deep in my stash and came up with some old MME paper and accented it with the new baker's twine I just got.  The stamps, both sentiment and branch accents on the paper, are from the Totally Happy {ippity} set and the cross stitch border is from the Quotes a'la Happy set.

Next is a layout featuring my Golden Retreiver, Murphy.  Papers are from Echo Park (the little shapes reminded me of a doggie bone) and stamps are from the September kit of the month:
