7.26.2010 – Hippity Hop

It is H{ippity} Hop time!!!

Makes a Monday so much better because it is a day filled with {Ippity} fun. Every Monday Ippity stampers get together to showcase these fabulous stamps.

If you just popped into my blog, make sure you the check out the full list of hoppers on the Ippity blog.

What a crazy weekend!!!  We have been puppy sitting and she is definitely a puppy!  A really good puppy, but a puppy none the less.  My sister is out of town, so we got the honor of watching Sedona.  Our girls are 7 years old, so it has been awhile since we have been woken up during the night, have toys  EVERYWHERE and someone into everything.  But it is so much fun.

This is the little stinker.

Anyway, this is a Hippity Hop post right???  Hee hee.  Let’s get to this week’s challenge.

Stephanie challenged us with a  1-2-3 CHALLENGE using Ippity stamps.  You have probably seen this kind of challenge before, but this time… you get to choose the elements.  So it is up to you… if you want 1 stamp, 2 ribbons and 3 rhinestones GO FOR IT!  To play along with the Hippity Hop challenge (IHHC34) make sure you upload your photo to the SCS gallery by Sunday night! You could win a prize if you play along!!!

I am using these IPPITY stamp sets this week.

{supplies: cs – Bazzill; pp – Olivia (Basic Grey); stamps – Fall for You, Sweet Thoughts of Spring (Ippity); ink – Stazon; other – string, Snow Storm Shimmerz Vibez}

It has been a whirlwind this weekend.  Didn’t quite get as much done as I had planned, but I believe I accomplished 5 cards this weekend.  I wasn’t so sure I’d get to today’s card, but SO Happy I did!

I decided for my 1-2-3, I would have 1 kite, 2 clouds and 3 bows.  I used the photo corner stamp in the Fall for You set to create the kite.  I think it turned out pretty darn cute.

I tried something new with the Shimmerz Vibez, you can see how that turned out in the video.  I used it for the clouds.  I used the Olivia paper pad by Basic Grey for the kite.

Do you have ideas in your head that you’re not quite sure they will really work out.  Well, this is one of those cards for me.  My videos are really me working through a card.  I don’t practice before and then re-tape a prefect card.  Just not me.  I flub up and make mistakes and do things WRONG all the time.  And sometimes I don’t make stellar cards, it happens.  But I figure I am not alone and if I learn something from my mistake, I hope to share that with you too.
Plus sometimes my flubs are funny, so that is ok too!  🙂

Hope you enjoy today’s video.

Thanks for hopping by!
