My little bit of paper bliss today resulted in this card:
I used stamps from three different {ippity} sets--hearts (heat-embossed in red) from Moon Beam & Heart Strings, sentiment (heat-embossed in black) from Quotes a'la Happy, and the Dots for Sure background (heat-embossed in red)-- and I'm playing along with these challenges:
- Chick Challenges {with Ippity} #13, to use this sketch:
- {ippity} Challenge: Something Old (my very first {ippity} set: Moon Beam & Heart Strings), Something New (my brand new Dots for Sure background), Something Borrowed (some grosgrain and sheer ribbon--borrowed from my "nonpaper" stash), and Something Blue (the aqua-blue felt flower from Queen & Co.)
- Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Spots and/or Stripes
- Unity Challenge: "New Beginnings" theme--I thought this card would be perfect as an engagement card or a wedding card: both are new beginnings!
- Make It Monday with Kraft Outlet Challenge: Stamp It Pretty
- Get Hippity with Ippity Challenge #13: Hearts
We had a bit of snow overnight (maybe an inch and a half?) and my son was super excited to walk to school in the snow. I had to borrow my daughter's outgrown snow boots (I'm a size 7; she's a size 9 1/2, so fit was no trouble at all) for the walk since I discovered last week that both of my winter boots have sprung leaks. I was able to find a pair of nice winter boots on clearance at Lands' End last week, and our UPS guy delivered them just a little while ago. So I'm off to open my package and check out my new boots next!
Thanks for dropping by!

Super stamps! You know I love the dots and that string of hearts is awesome. What a sweet sentiment, too.
Fun dangling heart image and loving the flower! Glad you have some new boots to keep your feet warm and dry :)
Such a sweet card my friend. I love those hearts.. They look like they were hand doodled. Have fun with those new boots!!

Wow, what a PERFECT take on the sketch! I didn't recognize that sentiment, but I LOVE it (it looks like you doodled it). The background looks just like patterned paper (the heat embossing is fab). LOVE it!!
What a cool way to get your kids crafting - especially since they'll be so much more meaningful since they're the ones who picked what to capture!
Love your card - the quote is incredible & I love it!
Sweet card! ;o)
