A little more {Ippity} Love

Ahhh friends I found some time to join another challenge-- with my favorite ladies and stamps :)  Challenges With Ippity stop over and check out this weeks challenge!  It's a great sketch--I'm sure you'll love it!  Besides it's a great excuse for you to dig out your {Ippity} stamps...oh you don't have any you say... stop by Jen's place and she will hook you up!  You won't be disappointed!  And I know there are plenty of other great Ippity chicks out there... I just haven't ordered from them so check them out!

A Tag-tastic Monday! And a little blog candy!

Happy Monday blog friends.  I hope you are all doing well and having a great day!  I can't believe it's almost Christmas--yowza where has the month gone.  I hope you are excited to join my fabulous design team friends at Fantabulous Cricut for our Monday Challenge!  This week's challenge is all about tags!  We're "trimming with tags" and I soooo hope you join us.  This challenge will be active for 2 weeks instead of one!  So hopefully you will find some time to create with us.  Go ahead and use a tag in any way on your project! 

Oh and did you see the fabulous paper I used?  I bet you did.  It's awesome Core'dinations paper!  My project used paper from the Flower Power Vintage Collection.   The vintage collection has a presanded look to it-- however, I think it looks great when you take some extra time to sand it!  Which is what I did.  It also looks great when you rip the paper too.  I also debossed and embossed my tags.  Core'dinations is the sponser for this challenge-- so get your project in for a chance to win!!!  You won't be disappointed.  And just for fun I am going to have a little bit of fun-- I have some great Core'dinations paper and I would LOVE to share!  Link up a project at FCCB and be one of my followers!  On Monday, January 2, 2012 I will do a drawing and the lucky winner will receive some 6x6 sheets of Core'dinations paper!

Here are my tags side by side!  A little sanding looks awesome :) 

Debossed tag that was sanded.

Embossed and then sanded!

Keepin' It Corny!

Happy Sunday!  Ugh I can't believe the weekend is over...oh how sad!  But it's a short work week for me with the holidays being next weekend--which is also crazy!!!  But between a little baking I had to get to my crafts.  I simply had to create a card for the Peachy Keen Stamps Sketch Challenge.  This week the challenge was Designer's Choice so anything goes!  I hope you enjoy my card.  PKS is having a design team call right now...oh how I wish I would be selected!

Unity! and a sweet treat!

It's finally Friday... oh Friday how I've missed you.  I am so ready for this week to be over.  Granted I need to work late tonight but that's okay...it's Friday!  So because it's Friday you know that means it's time to join my friends at Unity for a friends with flair day!  And I also decided to link this card up for the Unity Ippity Anything Goes Challenge.   It was a super easy card to make and I am pleased with how it turned out-- a great card when you are looking for something quick-- I know that I am always in need of a note card to send!  Hope you like it!  Yay for colored pencils :)

Would you like a sweet treat?  I will be giving away a Unity Itty Bitty on Monday morning-- please make sure you leave a sweet comment for me here!  If you are a follower that would make me super happy-- but of course not required...but I like followers!  Comments will need to be left before 11:59 PM CST.

I'm in love with this stamp set and I am sooooo glad I was able to find some time to use it today.  This set is the Peachy Keen Stamps: Faceless Corn and I love it.  The face are super cute and I love them.  There was a challenge for Let's Face It Friday with PKS--Fabric Scraps.  Clearly the challenge was to use a PKS face and some fabric...wow... I didn't have a clue what to do so I pulled out a scrap of fabric that I had and ran it through my cuttlebug and ended up with some black flowers---hmmm not dead just a new color :) 

I then had to pull out my I-Top brad maker-- ummmm hello why on earth had I NOT been making brads with faces before this?!?!  Well I am sure you will see more of these cuties!
