HIP HOP!!!!


Happy...HIP HOP
Oh.. how exciting is it to say that.. talk about a dream come true.. I have been waiting for this surreal moment to be apart of the Hip Hop DT for Unity /Ippity for a long time.. it is nice that it is now Reality!!
{if you have come over from Eryn's Blog you are in the right place , if not start on the Unity Blog .}

And speaking of Dreams.. I am one of those people that dream about scrapbooking/ cardmaking.. I know strange isn't it.. but to me not really , most of my creations are from my dreams.. Today I decided to do this fun little card . It is a double door card. That is what I am calling it, I am sure someone somewhere has done one but it was a dream so mine is original. hehe.


Using some to of the new SUMMER release stamps.I came up with this for my double doors.


There is no remedy..


Dots For Sure,
You Deserve,
Fall for You

DP- October Afternoon

The Details. I started out with a piece of cardstock. 5.5 X11 and scored the 2 sides at 2and 1/8 , just flipping each of the sides and measured it this way. you are left with 2 doors to decorate anyway you want.



The inside I used this weeks Unity Hip Hop sketch HHSC20 .


The inside..

Using the quote from Quote's A'La Happy, coloured in some of the quote to match the colours of the card.. and also decorated the inside doors. Hope you like it!!

Now if you are looking for and Ippity Chick just click below.
Time to HIP HOP on over to Eva's Blog..
I am sure she has a wonderful creation to share with us all.

HIP HOP...Hugs,
Angie

It has been a wonderful ride this week showcasing all the
NEW IPPITY SUMMER RELEASES.
if you have come from Sweet Eryn's Blog you are in the right place , if not make your way to the Ippity Blog, this way you don't miss any of the wonderful creations the Design Team have been working so hard on!!
Today I am showing you some images from the YOU DESERVE set.. I only have one card to share with you but it has so many details I didn't want to do too much . It is a fantastic design..
I LOVE IT!!
When my mojo needs a little lift I go Beate's Blog.. she is a force of such creative genius, it just blows me away.. well today's card is the SWING card she made and she has a very good video HERE, that will teach you all the steps for a wonderful looking card.
You Deserve the Best
You Deserve
Quote's A'La Happy
Thoughts From the Past
DP- October Afternoon

The Details, I used my copic to colour in the flower image.. starting with a dark shade and taking two different lighter shades to blend it into the center. I love how your copics can created such beauty. I also took some gold beads and added it to the centers with some glossy accents, and let it dry. Stamping the checker board stamp from the Quotes A'La Happy set, I cut out the leaves.
The background it the Thoughts From the Past background stamp.. inking it in light brown and green.

The Other Side of the Swing Card


I just put a photo of Sydney and I in the framed part.. I thought it would make a nice touch to place a photo .. an added little keepsake that you can use in your home or office.. would make an extra special card to give to a loved one for Christmas.

The side views..

I know it is alot of photo's but I had to show you every side of this fantastic card .. I am in love with this style. I know I will be making more of these.. Thank you Beate for such and easy to follow video.
Now it is time to Hop on over to the Incredibly Talented Eva's Blog.. I personally can't wait to see what everyone else has created too.

Tomorrow is the BIG RELEASE Hip Hop party.. so I am sure to talk to most of you in the HIP HOP thread over at Unity's Forum on the SCS boards. If you want to know what challenges are up.. go over to the Ippity Blog.. we have a list of them on the Sunday Post.




Hope you all are having a wonderful Wednesday.

Today is Sneak Peek Day 2...
just a reminder if you have not come from Eryn's Blog then make your way to the Ippity Blog and follow the buttons, this way you don't miss anything!! It is all worth seeing!
Today I have made this layout Using some of the stamps from the
SO THIS IS LOVE set.

at the cottage... make everyday the best.

So This Is Love

DP -October Afternoon

here are some details.. using this tree stamp I stamped the image with the blue, making sure the ink was heavy on top of the stamp and without inking it again I kept on stamping this way you have the lighter shades in the background..

I also stamped the top of this image in red and stamped the sentiment on top for something extra.. I love an added stamped area to complete the layout. Hope you all like it!!



This is a photo of the group of us that go to the cottage once a year in the summer for some R&R.. We camp out, the kids have fun at the beach... we eat .. and share some much needed friendship time.. oh we also celebrate birthdays.. makes it extra special. The very last day.. not saying I only take this one photo... that wouldn't be like me.. I usually have over 500 in a weekend.. but we take a group photo.. I love these photo's and I love scrapping our times together. These stamps were just perfect to capture the background of this photo!!

Before we hop, it is Monday so we do have this week's new {ippity} Challenge.
