Hello Hip Hopsters! I hope you are enjoying your morning. Okay friends, remember to start your morning Hip Hop over at the Unity blog 

It's March!! You know what that means...

 Yep that's right! A new KOTM. You know you want to sign up...Click here to do so.

So about the Hearts...I have no idea why I was inspired to use heart stamps for this week's Hip Hop but I was. Maybe it's cause February's  KOTM has a heart in it and since it was fresh rubbah in my stash, I had to ink it up!

I actually pulled a few different heart stamps from February's KOTM and July's 2009 KOTM and the hearts from Here's the Ticket  to create this week's layout. Not sure why Blogger is making it look blurry...boo!

Supplies: paper from Paper Posies March KOTM, buttons: Papertrey Ink, Hearts tag: Anna Griffin, Doily: Martha Stewart.

And here's another project with February's KOTM and my Paper Posies March kit!

Brooke's out of town with her family this week and we miss her already but head on over to Miss Maren, I know she'll have something fun for you today too!

A new Unity challenge blog here

You've all seen our fellow design team member's Jen E's blog, Shut Up It's True... I love the title, it's just so her and I love her style of scrapping. When I visit her blog I know I'll be in for a fully belly laugh especially when she posts her family holiday card. So today for my layout I hijacked her catch phrase and used it as my title. Thanks Jen, you're one in a million girl!

 

Supplies: Unity Itty Bitty Tell Me More, Bella Blvd., Bee Image is from Just Be You - Dec 10 KOM,

Pattern Paper: Echo Park Summertime collection, American Crafts glitter Thickers.

Now don't waste a minute and hop on over to the lovely Brooke!

Some Sunday crafting for me

Hope you are enjoying your weekend. I have really missed some of the challenges I used to do and I've decided that Sundays are becoming Scrapping for me days! So to kick off my first Sunday I've created a card for the Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World. Here's the Trigger Photo

And here's my card

Supplies: Patterned Paper Iron Orchid designs, Unity Itty Bitty Dream Big Webster's Pages, Prima flower and bling, Copic markers and Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive squares.

Next here's a card I created for the Moxie Fab Appearance of Cameos challenge

 

All Paper and Embellishment Supplies: Anna Griffin Willow Collection, Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive squares and Thermo web 3d Foam Squares.

That's all for now but I am on a card making roll today...I'm working on a few Valentine cards for my kids.  Hope you are having a crafty Sunday too!

A new challenge at Color Combos Galore

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing a new challenge with you over at Color Combo's Galore. I'm so honored to be Guest Designing with them this month and even more excited that Unity Stamp Co is this month's sponsor! Play along each week and you could win some Unity Rubbah!! Now here's this week's challenge:

 

Here's what I created with this week's colors

Supplies: Patterned paper, Echo Park Be Mine collection, Unity Stamp Co Circa Journal Stamp, Glue Arts  Extreme Adhesive squares and Prima flowers.

My husband saw this layout and got so mad at me for scrapping this pic..LOL. The thing is, it's not the expression that means as much to me as the look in his eyes. I fell in love with those green eyes the instant I looked into them. I remember exactly why he made this face during our vows and to me it's a precious moment in time.

I hope you'll be inspired to create something with this week's colors. Thanks for stopping by today!

Hip Hoppin back from CHA

Hellloooo friends! I'm back from CHA and ready to hop right into this week's Unity Hip Hop! First I want to share February's KOTM

How can all this cuteness be on one set?? Sign up for your KOTM today by heading on over to the Unity website here. Then start stalking your mail carrier month after month.

It was absolutely fabulous to see everyone at CHA. I had the best time with the My Little Shoebox team and scrappy friends! It was a whirlwind I tell ya! 

As usual the booths were amazing (special congrats to my friend Heidi @ GCD Studios for winning the EXHIBITING WITH EXCELLENCE AWARD) the collections were breath taking and the make and takes were super fun!

Unity's booth was amazing! I wish I had shot more photos to share but I am sure Angela will be getting those posted to the blog for you to see.

Today I am sharing two projects I made that ended up being displayed at the Unity booth for CHA. I can not tell you how fun it is to walk into the booth and see your work hanging next to all those beautiful Unity stamps.

First here's my layout

Supplies: patterned paper and stamps by Iron Orchid featuring the Be Still Beloved collection. I also used trim from Websters Pages and my Spellbinders Grand Calibur die machine and the Labels Nine set.

Here's a pic of it hanging at the Unity booth surrounded but all those Iron Orchid stamps

 

Next is an altered wall hanging I did

Supplies: patterned paper and stamps by Iron Orchid featuring the Be Still Beloved collection. I stamped the image onto canvas and embossed it. Then I used Copics to color and added some Prima lace.

Here's how it looked hanging

I was soooo happy to finally meet Amy at CHA. She is just a darling girl and so stinkin sweet! Muwah!

I will have so many more pics from CHA in the coming days so stay tuned.

I'm sending you off to Brooke now...enjoy!
