{ippity} linky day~

Don't forget to join in with all of us today to link up your awesome {ippity} creations, 
as we sure would love to see what you created!  
Go to the {ippity} blog HERE!

I'm sharing a card that I made using {ippity} THE MAN
which you can purchase from me today by clicking on the stamp set name above!

I had to angle this picture, as it was the only way to let you see the shine on the shirt...I Glimmer Misted with different colors to get that look and tried to match the shiney ribbon.

I created this card with these challenges in mind:

I Love RRR
ALL of the yummy ribbon on my card is from 
Really Reasonable Ribbon...what a variety they have!
You have until August 29th to join in...go check it out!

I'm still loving my {ippity} Loads of Love stamp set!
The folded laundry with the iron...love this!
Oh, I actually made the sentiment on Word for this card.

I wanted to join in on the Color Throwdown Challenge and wasn't sure if I could make the colors work, as they are not normally colors I would go to.  Don't you just love a good challenge?

Here is the color swatch from Color Throwdown:
Click on the butterflies to take you to the challenge.
Let's see what you can do with these colors (or like colors)...join in, it  closes on 8/14.

 Here's my little bit of brightness that I colored with my Copics.
This is called the 'spotlight technique' when you only color part of the image.
Stamps: {ippity} Loads of Love (I have 1 left in my stock! *wink*)
Laundry List:  Spellbinders Labels Three; SU Basic Gray, Old Olive, So Saffron, Yoyo Yellow; 
Imaginisce i-rock too and bling; Copic Markers; SU lace punch (retired); 
green seam binding from LSS, and yellow dingle balls (?)


And to continue on with Morissa's challenge of 
'using up your own stash...no shopping'...
I used goodies that I have had in my stash...yippee!

FlashBlack Challenge Blog...how fun~

Hey everyone, I just discovered that the awesome
AMY of Tsuruta Designs 
has a challenge blog called 'Flashback Friday'
And the title says it all! 
Where have I been that I didn't see this before? 
Flashback Friday Challenges
Click on the image to take you there!

The current challenge by Lawren Fowlkes is to re-post your first 'gift card holder'
Isn't that fun?!!!! 
I know that I don't have pic's of any creations prior to when I joined SCS 
(can you believe I didn't take pictures before then?), 
so I had to go to my gallery to figure out what I had there...from way back when.

I found this 'pocket card' that I made for a challenge but technically I used it as 
a gift card holder.
I remember adhering the gift card to the pull out (who did I give this to?)
...ummm, be nice, this was from 2007!
=)
All items were from Stampin' Up!, and Prima Flowers.

When you have a chance, 
go check out Amy's blog for Flashback Friday
...join in too...you have until Friday, August 26th to link up... 
...what an awesome idea Amy!

p.s. I have a current gift card holder on my previous post
...funny, because it's a pull out too!

~HAVE A FABULOUS DAY~

p.s.s.  Don't Forget:

Every {ippity} purchase from me through Sunday, August 7th 
gets entered into a drawing 
for ONE ~FREE~ stamp set of your choice, that I have in stock
valued at $16.20 ($18.00 MSRP) or less!
See the post below:

fall colors

I know it's not Fall yet, but somehow I ended up playing with Fall colors
and playing around with one of the banner flags stamp.
Stamp sets:  {ippity} The Best (banner flags)
{ippity} Party Hat Wishes (sentiment)
Did some actual stitching and faux stitching on this card...
the multi-colored fancy floss is awesome (from We R Memory Keepers--Sew Easy)!

This is for 2 challenges:
This Week\
'to use ribbon and stitching on your card'



and
for the Simply Scrapping Crafts 
to use no cream or white
(ooops, does the light color around the circles on my pattern paper count?)


I used my fun SEW EASY tools...had it in my 'stash', haven't used it, so took it out for this one!
Truly EASY tool...love it!


Morissa @ Shamrock Stamper started a challenge to use our goodies from our stash and having a shopping ban...sure glad that I'm doing this and discovering what I have and haven't used! *smile*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have these {ippity} stamp sets in stock, so if you are interested in them visit my {ippity} page!
