Happy H{ippity} Hop - Monday, May 10

 I originally made this card for 2 challenges- {ippity} challenge 22 - add stitches to your creation and my Blog Group (Eyelets, Ribbon, Paper - Oh My!)'s fourth challenge.  The stamped image is from the Because of You Kit.  I also used Bazzill's In Stitchez for the large flower.   I wasn't really all that pleased with it.  So, I created this:

The only problem with this card, no stitching.  Oh well, I can't have everything.  

Here's the inside:

The leaves are from Where You Should Be and the sentiment is from Devoted.  The flowers are from a company called Petals & Possibilities.  These are real flowers in an epoxy pebble (Petal Pebbles). 

Here's more close-ups:

This is a "coupon holder" I made for a friend.  She's getting ready to have a little girl.  I'm going to put baby related coupons in it before I send it to her.  I didn't label the pockets because everyone has their own way of organizing.  I also thought she may not want to use it for just coupons, she could also use it to hold appointment cards, gift card, etc.  It is 4 inches (4 1/2 if you count the binding) wide and 5 1/2 inches tall.

Here are come close ups:

The inside pockets, there are 12.

HAPPY H{IPPITY} HOP MONDAY! - April 26

This is a 4x6 layout.  You guessed it, for a swap.  I used the heart stamp from Because of You to make the flower.  Here's a close up of the flower:

This layout is for the second spot.  I used the birds from What Matters Most and the cattails from Where You Should Be.  Here's a close up of the tag:

HAPPY H{IPPITY} HOP MONDAY! April 19, 2010

I am in a monthly card kit swap (on SCS) and May is my month to be hostess.  I have to send a set of 6 (all the same) images and 6 pieces of patterned paper (4x6) to the ladies in my group and they create a card (actually it's 6 identical cards) and send it to everyone in the group.  I can't take credit for this layout, one of the ladies in my blogging group made this card (click to visit), and I thought it was the cutest!  So this is my version using the stamp from What Matters Most.  The sentiment is from Because of You.

Stamps: Because of You, What Matters Most

Ink: Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black

Paper: KI Memories-Colorful Disco Fever, DCWV - Sky Paper

Misc: Bic and Sharpie Permanent Markers, scrap ribbon, paper piercer
