Ippity Wednesday 11-25-09!

Hey everyone! Happy Wednesday! Hope you are all enjoying your day before we get stuffed tomorrow! We have snow and cold today so it is definately feeling more like the holiday's are upon us! For this Holiday season, I'm feeling so blessed! It's been a year of wonderful things for me! I was sad when I closed H&M Stamps, but found new happiness with my new families! Unity, All That Scraps & Ippity! They have been my light when I was feeling down. I also have been blessed with a beautiful and wonderful son this fall and a 2.5 year old who is just amazing. My husband and I are so blessed to have such a wonderful relationship that continues to grow stronger and stronger as time goes on and our family gets bigger. I love that I'm so blessed and so loved my my family that extends far and wide! Happy Thanksgiving everyone and hope you have a wonderful Weekend! I'm going to be offering blog candy, so be sure to watch for that! Or subscribe to my blog so you don't miss out!!!

Anyways, today is a day for some stamping from me! I had some time this afternoon during nap time, so I created 2 cards using Ippity Stamp Sets! If you would like to purchase them, please check out my Ippity Sales blog! This first card uses Kissmas & Mistletoe. I stamped the tree on my nestability layers (All layers use nesties!) I colored the tree with copics. For my ribbon, I made a bow with pink polka dot ribbon, then I made another bow, with ivory lace ribbon, added a button and used thread to make everything layer nicely together and created a bow. I painted a tag chipboard piece with white acrylic paint. I then stamped my snowflake image with pretty in pink ink and then stamped my sentiment and used thread to attach it to my ribbon.

For this next card, I used Devoted from Ippity designed by the talented Tanis G.! Fabulous lady! Anyways, for this card, I highlighted the bottom portion of the sentiment and mad a tag that hangs off the edge of the card. Then I stamped my main image and used markers to color in the flowers and edge. I also added white pearl drops to the flower centers and stickles to the swirls...At the top of the card I used MME paper pack (also available at my Ippity Blog) and scalloped the bottom edge. Then I added white ribbon and then red ribbon with a bow. I added a silver heart charm using silver cording...Love the simplicity of this 3x4.25" card! Too cute and fun too boot! Hope you enjoy and happy creating!Hugs & Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Recipe Card Holder and a card...

Hey everyone! Happy Monday! Hope you all are having a great start to your week! Also, want to take time and wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving week! We have so much to be thankful for, and I want to take a moment to reflect on that. I'm very very grateful for a wonderful husband who understands me and keeps me grounded. I am thankful to be blessed with 2 amazing, beautiful and wonderful children who give me a run for my money and keep me sane. I'm blessed with family (not all by blood) and friends who make me feel blessed and special and also have a possitive outlook in any situation. I'm amazed and thankful to the Lord who has shown me how special I am in his eyes and that if I fallow him, he will take me anywhere I need to go with the power of his love. I'm grateful to have a talent that helps me to create images for special companies and for you all who may like my images! Unity, Ippity & All That Scraps have truly been a blessing in times like these...I draw so much inspiration from their help and support! For all these and a whole lot more, I'm incredibly thankful and grateful, not just today til Thursday, but every single day of the 365! Though some days I do need reminding! LOL...

Also, Thanksgiving is this week, but that day also marks my 28th birthday! I can't believe it! I'm 12 away from 40, 2 away from 30 and I'm so not even scared! LOL...It just means I'm living a wonderful life! So to celebrate, I will be offering some BLOG CANDY!!! Not today, but be sure to stay tuned for what's to come! :)

To start the Monday off right, I've created a card and some recipe card holders to share with you all! Hope you enjoy! They are created using stamps from Ippity! To order your Ippity sets, click here!Hope you all have a fabulous day and enjoy!

Hey everyone! Hope you are having a fantabulous day! It's gorgeous outside here! Can't wait to enjoy some of it this afternoon after nap time! (Kids are down for the count!)...

So last night, hubby and I went to the New Moon movie! It was absolutely wonderful! I'm a huge fan of the books and was happy to discover that this movie is a great interpretation of it! It is a definate must see in my opinion!!! Wow, can't wait to see it again!

Yesterday afternoon, I got a chance to stamp before the movie, but I didn't have enough time to upload them, so thought I would get around to it today...For these cards I used the set I created for Ippity called Simply Home!!! To purchase your set, click here...This set is so fun and classic looking and great for all those rustic looking projects!!! This first card, I used the tree, cow and pig. I markered in some grass and fence and added my sentiment. I added buttons as my embelishments and rounded the corners. I kept the card simple so as to not take away from the images...Love how it turned out!For this next card, I stamped the tree and house and colored with copic markers and added white gel pen highlights. I corner rounded 2 corners of all my layers and added a button to the tree and ribbon across the card. For my sentiment, I stamped this on white cs and cut it out to look like a flag tag and added dimensions. 1 dimensional on each side to hold it down, and 3 in the middle to give it dimension...Hope you enjoy! Love this set! So fun to work with!!!Super big hugs and enjoy your weekend! Go Vikings!!!

Ippity Arrived!

Hey everyone! Hope you all are having a fabulous day! It's gorgeous here and the house smells nice and fall like! Making Cheesey Cheeseburger Soup! Yummy nummy!

Last night my Ippity arrived! I am so excited and thrilled! I had to bust them out as soon as I could! So today while the kiddos were taking a nap and all the errands got done, I went to work! For this first card I used Devoted by a very fabulous and talented ladie by the name of Tanis! She is a terrific personality to boot...So for this card, I stamped and colored my house and then cut it out. I stamped the tree and then the sentiment and then added the house as a top layer. Then I trimed the scene up...I scalloped the bottom of my dp and added ribbon and my circle/button embelishments! Such a super fun set!For these next cards, I used Kissmas & Mistletoe! These cards are 2.5x4.25". Very simple and to the point, but OMGoodness are they cute! I used the tree and mistle toe images I created in this set as well as this very cute and adorable snowman! Such a fun set for the holidays! If you would like to purchase your set today so you can make some of your own christmas cards this season, please stop by my Ippity Sales blog to purchase yours today!Hope you enjoy, happy creating and super big hugs!

New Moon Inspiration!

Hey all! Last night I had an idea...and no! I didn't even hurt myself! LOL...So once I had the idea in my head (which came at 10 pm), I had to set to work at creating it! So I went in my stamp area and set to work...Here's what I came up with! I used these girls I created for Unity (they had a mini release, but now won't be released for you all until after winter CHA in January!)...So bookmark this or whatever, but just make sure once it comes out you add it to your collection because it is SOOOOOO super super fun!

I made the girls to look like the characters from New Moon. I'm so obsessed, as are many others. I've read all the books 11 times and am now on my 12th run through them. Each time is something different. It's like replaying your favorite movie every once in a while! Can't get enough and am SOOOO looking forward to Friday! Bring it on!
So here are my version of Bella, Alice and Rosalie...You can really tell that they look like Vampires! Good ones anyway with the amber eyes! The rest of the card was pretty simple because I didn't want to take the focus away too much from these adorable characters! Hope you enjoy and Happy Creating!

Hugs,

Heather R.

Monday Stamping! 11-16-09

Hey girls! Love Mondays! Yeah, I'm crazy, I just said that! So here's what I got done today! I created a blog for my Ippity Skippity Unity Sales! Click HERE to go check out all that and hopefully get your Ippity on! So fun! Also, today I booked my flight and car rental for Winter CHA!!! I'm so excited that I'm jumping up and down! I can't believe it! Hubby asked if I wanted to go and I wasn't going to ask him because I didn't want to put him out or anything since he has to watch the kids the whole weekend and he wanted to go to a snowmobile thing (him and his brother race)...so for those reasons I didn't ask, but he found out about it and asked if I wanted to go and I said HECK YES! So excited! Eeeek! Gonna meet some fabulous faces and see some fabulous products!Also, today I got a chance to create a card using some super fun Unity stamps! The first card uses the girls from the November KOTM. I highlighted only 2 of the girls because that was all that would fit on my nestability layer. I stamped the image on basic black cardstock so I could cut it out and paper piece it over my image. Then I used a white gel pen to create a pattern on the dress and added pearls. To the girl on the right, I used a black drawing pen to create a ribbon. Can't really tell too much...I like the black added to this card, adds so much sophistication! LOL...For this second card, I used the Fairy from November Store Kit from Unity and kissed it to my distressed background stamp from SU. I paper pieced my bg with different colors and patterns of dp. I added a ribbon/prima/button/thread combo...pretty simple card but the Nestability layer adds so much detail...Hope you enjoy and happy creating!

Hugs,
