Unity FWF/ Use Your Stash Challenge

The theme for today is one-layer cards. I'm hearing a few of you groan...yeah, I know. Me, too.I was working on {ippity} materials for a craft show on Saturday and noticed that I had plenty of samples with bling and layers (nesties/CB), but nothing that a newbie may not feel overwhelmed by doing the first time out. These designs also lend themselves to easily changing the sentiment from "thank you" to "happy birthday" to "sympathy", etc.

I'm still teetering on the edge of doing these as a make and take at the booth. The jury is out, but I need to decide soon in order to prep my materials.

Supplies
Stamps: Where You Should Be
Ink: Memento Greens, Black
Paper: Kraft
Accessories: Wide Grosgrain - Lemongrass (Offray)

Supplies
Stamps: Regal Greetings
Ink: Black

I also make a bag for their new {ippity} purchase. Got the idea from the great gals on the Unity Opportuniy blog. Inspired by the talented, Stephanie Zito.

The "use your stash" winner for this week is...

Simple Ippity Butterfly

Good morning/afternoon/evening...whenever you happen to stop in today/tomorrow/down the road. I never know when I will actually be hopping or how long I will have time to do it before work/family/stuff detracts me from the serious business of checking out some fabulous blogs!

I love what Mitch said when I brought the card upstairs to show him this evening, "That's not what it looked like at 9:00." I had to have a chuckle at that. At 9:00, it was a far cry from being finished. It looked more like a jumble of individual pieces setting out on the table with little linking it together than a general color scheme. An hour later...finished. I have a very limited number of Copic markers, so the butterfly colors are not really what I had in my head. Life goes on. ;)

Life is simple, it's just not easy.

Inspired by a Friend Friday/CPS155

Actually, it was on Tuesday that I was inspired by my friend Barb's color choice for our stamp club project that night. TEAL! How refreshing. (I need to post the fun mini calendar we created with the SU bird punch. Love it!) It has been so cold and muted lately that bringing some color to the party was appreciated. I also used the CPS sketch for this week. Check out the list of today's blogs at Unity!!!

I'm on a kick with the scripture from the {ippity} Devotion set! I can't get enough of it!

Stamps: Devotion (ippity by Unity)

My First H{ippity} Hop!

It's Monday!!! (Actually, it's Sunday evening, but I needed to get this posted and didn't trust that Blogger would do it at the correct time.) Doesn't seem to have the same ring as "It's Friday". ;) That's okay at least we aren't under 12" of snow this particular Monday. That is definitely a blessing!

I'm sharing with you a card I made with the Ippity set Devoted as well as my first excursion using fabric on a card. The background is fabric except for the card base in additional to the die cut butterflies. The ribbon and fabric was picked up on my shopping trip yesterday. The quotes in this set are absolutely beautiful and appropriate for times when only God's Words will do.

Supplies
Stamps: Devoted (ippity Stamps)
Paper: Kraft
Ink: Rich Cocoa, Orange Memento
Accessories: Fabric, Brown Grosgrain, Colored Rhinestones, Nestabilities Labels, Cuttlebug Butterfly Die, Prima Flowers
