Hip Hop.. Fiber Flowers

HIP HOP!!!
Hello everyone .. how is the weather near you today?.. everyday this week I have woken up to nearly 0 degrees weather and frost everywhere.. eventually it warms up during the day but I am just not prepared mentally for the cold weather..

We have a themed hip hop Thursday for you .. It's all about Thanksgiving Decor..here is what I made.

Table Place Cards

White cardstock

Ippity Devoted Stamp Set

Memento and Copic Markers

Fibers, Brads..(video tutorial on the Ippity Blog)

I made these cute place cards.. A great idea if you are having Thanksgiving dinner and you wanted something homemade for your table settings. Now in Canada we already celebrated Thanksgiving so I kept mine very simple and I might add some red bling berries to make it look Christmas festive.. So if you do want to make some like mine.. you can leave the plain leaves for Thanksgiving and add some bling red berries and reuse them at Christmas time..

If you like the Fiber Flowers.. It is my turn to do That's How Thursday on the Ippity Blog.. so after the Hop check it out.. I have an Ippity Tutorial Video there to show you how!!

remember it is also part of my IHHC48 Challenge.. to use Fibers. You will have till Sunday to get them entered in the forum tagging IHHC48 with your card or project.

Now it is time to head on over to the Brilliant and Sweetest Miss Eva.. I just love her!!

Have the most wonderful day.. see you for a chat on the SCS Unity Hip Hop thread.. it all starts 10 am CST.. for me that is 11am.

Check out Unity's Deal of the Day!!

Growing In Unity.. Day 2

WOOHOO... Growing In Unity Day 2

Thank you for all the wonderful comments yesterday.. I hope you will love today as well.. Today I am featuring my very first tutorial Video.. so be nice..hehe.. you will see my chubby little hands and I might say things more than once.. I will get better.. right??

I am trying to do some tutorial using YouTube.. when I hear my voice all I imagine is my sister.. I guess we all talk the same.. cause that is who I picture..hehe

Did I mention I have a new thing called Holiday Hyperness.. well that is me right now.. flowing with tons of ideas! This is just one of them that I have wanted to share forever!!

So the video is up first.. and then I have 2 projects.. one Ippity one Unity!!

Ippity Stamps with Polymer Clay!!

HA... this is the layout. Using Ippity, Misting sprays, Polymer clay Ippity embellishments, some Sassafrass.. A whole lot of scrappy goodness I say!!

PLAY

the details.. these are the polymer clay Ippity pieces .. I inked them with some Unity ink and backed them.. slightly overcooked but I love how it turned out distressed.. hehe

Here is my Unity Project .. I made this wonderful easy table runner for Thanksgiving.. so easy and I just love it!! Using my handy dandy Canvas Cotton Drop Cloth.. (home depot.. yes it is an addiction).. I cut the size and sewed the sides in black thread to match the black of the leaf pattern. Using the Samantha Walker Fall stamps I inked away the leaf images using black Fabric paint ..( you can pick these up at Walmart) .. and within less than an hour I had this wonderful runner for my Thanksgiving table..

My Thanksgiving Table.. simple but it was wonderful!!

Thanks so much for coming by my GIU today.. Tomorrow I will have some more wonderful projects to share... I just love doing this!!

Happy Tuesday to you all!!

Simply Scrapping Crafts.. Challenges Every Wednesday!!.

It's Wednesday.. and we will have all the latest challenges up on Simply Scrapping Crafts today. This week I did some projects in the Card Corner and the Copic Corner Group.. I am loving all the different facets of SSC.. you can really let your imagination grow with all the challenges that the Design Team have to offer.. So come out and check us out.. we are bound to get your MojO working!!

This first card it for Week #4 of the Card Corner.. I love working for this group.. so many wonderful leaders to design for.. This weeks challenge is a sketch challenge by Maureen.. here is the card I made.

Here is that amazing sketch by Maureen.. love it!!

For the Copic Corner.. we will have a Video Lesson #16 up, Lisa is a brilliant teacher.. and today's lesson is one I love... being the frugal scrapper that I am.. this one is right up my alley.

To colour your embellishment with you copics.. OH YES!!! and if you have lots of the clear rhinestones like I do because the coloured ones are just not in my price range.. and I can get them cheap at my dollar store.
Just using your copics in any colour you want to colour them in... just go over the rhinestone..and Viola.. it is done.. so easy and no it doesn't come off.. I love it!!

Here is a photo demo for you...






Here is the card I did with my coloured rhinestones.. I think I have found a new love for BLING!!




BTW.. if you want to know where I got that image for my card from.. Guess what.. it is from a Cricut cartridge.. I used the Cricut markers instead of the cutting tool and got this image to colour in.. Love that I can now do so many fun Cricut images to colour as well.



So join us over at Simply Scrapping Crafts. The Gallery is just full of wonderful eye candy to look at . I am looking forward to a fun filled season there.. We also have some prizes and Guest Designer spots every month. So come join in the fun!!

Angie

Friends With Flair.. Ippity Style!!

This is a wonderful thing.. Friday's I love Fridays.. my hubby stays home on Friday nights.. it is the beginning of the weekend.. and it is Unity's Friends with Flair.. now, that just makes it even better.. Today I have a great bookmark I made sometime ago but never posted it on my blog.. so with me feeling under the weather I decided it was the best time.

Beate first did this on her blog a month ago and I always wanted to give it a try because it was the most beautiful book mark I had ever seen. So here is my version of it. Using some Ippity stamp from the Because of You set.

This was a challenge I did for Simply Scrapping Crafts about making your own buttons.. the tutorial is HERE if you are interested. If you are in the market for these beautiful stamps there is a list of Ippity Chicks HERE..



Bookmark.


I used the some wonderful polka dot ribbons, and the Martha Stewart border flower punch and a Fiskars punch and some Marvy shape punches... Did some sewing.. but I am so not good at it.. and distressed the edges and made the glossy buttons.. I love how even with the not so great sewing how it all turned out. This is one of my many project that I am going to do for gifts this year.


You can find the tutorial that Beate created HERE.

If you go check out the Unity Blog now for the list of participants.. always some great eye candy to see. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Remember this weekend Ippity is Releasing the new Summer Sets.. it all starts SUNDAY 10am CST with some sneak peeks...I personally can't wait!!



Hugs,

FWF.. Love this day!!

15 years ago.. I fell head over heels for this little boy.. he is my light and source of ultra happiness. A mother's wish.. he is so good to me and everyone around him. I treasure every moment together and would give him the world!! Alexander still full of sunshine..15 years later.. I love this boy..



Now look at him.. not so much a boy but a man is what I see before me. He is still that wonderful loving boy and always will be Mama's baby.. even when he is grown and married.. right!!

Just wanted to wish him a Happy Birthday today.. wow where did the time go... 15 , I waited a long time to have you sweet boy and I am so blessed to have you in my life. Daddy, Sydney and I love you so much.

Now before I babble on forever.. hehe

I just love Thursdays getting a chance to chat with all the hip hoppers.. it really makes my week. Then comes Friday.. and Friends with Flair.. such a wonderful thing to be apart of each week. I love it!! Today I have a card that I did for the Unity Addicts Challenge. I love the inspiration card for this challenge and had to make one. Thanks to Maria for always being such a wonderful host and for the talented guests for posting some inspiration. Here is my card..

All Journeys..

this is the inside of the card.


Now yesterday we were all talking about making things.. and I just had to try this seeing that I had all the supplies and didn't have to go and buy anything.. so here it is my tutorial on making..

Homemade Glimmer Mists.

Supplies:
water, acrylic paint.. any colour, spray bottles, these were recycled ones from some body mists I had finished, some perfect pearls.. these I won years ago and never used them until now.. and that is it..

I first poured some paint in the containers.. you will need to add more just in case you want a stronger colour in the end.

Then I put in a couple of scoops of perfect pearls.. I used a light green and a pink.

then add your water.. not to the top , just in case you want to add more paint.. and then place the top on and shake .. shake .. shake.. until the paint is fully mixed into the water.. then you are ready to spray.. test it out on scraps of white paper to see if you want a deeper colour.. then just add more paint.

these are the colours I made and it only took me 5 minutes.. amazing.. now I need some more misting bottles cause I want every colour.. hehe..

Here are the sprays of glimmering mists.. beautiful and they shimmer too.. love that.. so go and save your money and make your own.. from the frugal scrapper.. hehe
have to save my money so I can buy all the Unity and Ippity stamps right!!

Now if you go and check out all the participants in todays FWF.. is it all on the Unity Blog!!
