Happy H{ippity}Hop - January 17, 2011

I made this card for my personal "Magazine Monday Challenge."  The inspiration for this card can be found in the January/February 2011 (yes, the current issue) of Paper Crafts magazine (p. 62).  Kalyn Kepner designed the card, "Lifetime of Love."  

Paper:  Kraft, Echo Park, October Afternoon

Images/Sentiment:  Now & Always

Ink:  Palette Burnt Umber

Misc: scrap ribbon, Bazzill pearl brads, MS punch

This card is for {ippity}'s January Challenge - Week 2.  Check out this week's challenge, here.  I used the first week's sketch and last week's colors to create this card.  I thought my brain was going to explode!

Thanks for looking!

 Paper:  Bazzill cardstock, Making Memories

Images:  Farm Fresh, Quotes a la Happy

Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black

Happy H{ippity}Hop - January 10, 2011

Last week Team {ippity} decided to host a HUGE CHALLENGE to kick off 2011.  Check it out here (last week's).  The first part was to create a project using the sketch below.  I used So this is Love stamp kit, scrap ribbon and paper (still trying not to cut a new sheet of paper).  I also used a Martha Stewart deep edge punch (new toy, so I'm using it a lot) the side scallop was made with decorative scissors.  

This card was made for my personal challenge "Magazine Monday."  I'm using a sketch from the January/February 2010 issue of Paper Crafts magazine (found on pg. 19).  The base is made from Kraft card stock.  The rest is pieced from scrap ribbon and paper.  The 3 little white dots are actually tiny shells, I tried to take a close up, but the camera would not cooperate.  The images are from Farm Fresh (used Haystack and Burnt Umber Palette Ink).  Thanks for looking!
