H{ippity} Hop...Hop...Hop

Hello, friends:} And friends from Ippity!!!

First of all...I have to explain-- I had to get a NEW blog site due to some issues. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my old site...but now you can leave messages all the time...you can see all the entries instead of just one at a time....as for the cool fonts and things that I usually use...I don’t know how that works yet--so if you have suggestions or ways to help me, PLEASE EMAIL ME:} I hope that you enjoy this blog as much as the other one!

Now on to our H{ippity} Hop!! Thanks for stopping by...I have been so busy with my Ippity and KOTM sets...I LOVE LOVE LOVE UNITY! and Ippity!

My first card was inspired by a sketch that I saw about five months ago--I know...I need to write down the site and person/group that inspired me...however, I threw away the paper and went from memory on the sketch! It included two different DPs with rounded corners and a saying on a strip of paper. I used the house from the Simply Home line. I also used the heart (my fav!!) from the Devoted Ippity set. I love the little scrapper’s floss on the heart. I also love these colors--red, purple, and orange.

My next card was a sad card to make-- my favorite professor, Dr. James Watson, passed away about two weeks ago. He was the BEST! I took his Physics 101 and 401 courses. He would teach physics by using toys- which we always got to keep!! He went ABOVE and BEYOND! Dr. Watson and his wife would visit Trav and I in FL...and even came to our wedding! Like I said, the BEST!

I also made this card for a friend of the family- her father passed around the same time. For both families, I wanted to make something special and soft. I love that blue--and the DP is so pretty too. I used the butterfly from the Devoted set and the sentiment from Just Wanted to Say.

Here is a pic of Dr. Watson and his wife visiting us a year or two ago.

Here are two other cards that I made this past week--they were for JUGS11 and IHHC2. Each one had to have a background made with stamps and use the chalkboard technique. On the snowman card--I stamped Ippity's Kissmas and Mistletoe snowflake with blue, white, and silver right on torn muslin. The butterfly card was created using the Devoted set. I love the colors on that card- soft...and yet paired with a bold and powerful verse.
