Wistful...

Hello! For yesterday's CAS challenge on SCS, we were to do a flower themed card. I have been dying to ink up this water lily from Brenda Landtroop's Serenity collection. This  is the Whispering Wing's set from Mark's Finest Paper's.  This set will be released this month!  Stay tuned for more sneak peaks from me this month!
I colored the image with copics and added some lemon Offray ribbon at the top.

I am also very proud of my non techie self, for getting Faith's watermark onto my card! (Thanks for your help, Faith). Definitely need to play around with that program some more, but I am pretty happy that I got it to work!  I am running on two hours of sleep, so off to bed for me! 


Thanks so much for stopping in!

H{ippity} Hop: New Release BUNDLE PACKAGE!

Hello {ippity} chicks and fans!  Today I made a card with stamps from the Where You Should Be set.  I love this quote and think it is perfect for a graduation card or an encouragement card for a young adult.
All of the paper products and embellishments used are from Caffinated Cropper's March Beez Kneez kit.  LOVE this stuff!  That is a piece of rusty screen behind my sentiment.  How cool is that and it came in this kit!  Amy's kits are  fabulous and they are a great value for your dollar.  She has monthly contests and fun hops and guess what...I won May's upcoming kit for free!  Thanks, Amy!
Stay tuned because she will be releasing Bird's of A Feather-May's kit on May 7th!  She has some sneek peaks so check her blog out HERE.

Hope you enjoy the H{ippity} Hop!  TONS of inspiration!  Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for the new {ippity} releases!

If you would like to pre-order the entire bundle of new ippity stamps and paper for $125.00 plus FREE shipping, email me at emmielouwhostamps@yahoo.com.  I will send you a pay pal invoice and ship your new release collection as soon as it is released!

FWF-Happy Anniversary Unity!

Happy 2 year Anniversary to Unity!  I discovered Unity in August of 2008 and it was love at first sight!  I can't get enough of these stamps.  They inspire me everyday!  I also have met so many wonderful cyber friends through Unity.  I always get warm fuzzies when visiting the Unity forum.  So much inspiration, friendship, and good times!

Congrats to Angela and the rest of the Unity crew!  You guys have SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH to be proud of!  Thank you for inspiring me and feeding this fabulous paper crafting passion of mine!

Paper Manic celebrates KRAFT!

Stamps:  Unity April Sew Cute kit

Paper:  Kraft, Cosmo Cricket Material Girl

Accessories:  May Arts Burlap String, buttons, twill ribbon (SU)

Ink:  Memento Rich Cocoa

Hello! This week Paper Maniac is spotlighting the use of kraft paper on projects!  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE kraft paper!  Can't get enough of it!  It seemed the perfect fit for showcasing this spool of thread from the Sew Stuck on You Unity retail kit.  Did you know that you can buy mini versions of the regular retail kit?  Yep!  Makes adding even more Unity to your collection super affordable!
I wrapped some May Arts brown burlap string around my spool for dimension.  I even added an actual needle to the spool for effect.

Thanks for stopping by!

happy day....

Hello!  Here is a happy little CAS card for you!  This week Unity is celebrating their two year anniversary, so make sure to check out the SCS forum for lots of fun, games, challenges and prizes!  It is hard to believe that I have been a Unity addict for almost 2 years!  Unity helped me rediscover my passion for paper crafts, as I had taken quite a break from it after my twins were born.
I used two stamps from the August 2009 KOTM.  I colored the image with Copic markers and added a yellow button to the sun.  Easy peasy!

Hope you have a happy day!

FWF-Fly With Wings A Flutter...

Hello!  TFIG!  HOORAY!  Today I made a card with the butterfly from April's in store kit.  The DP is from Sassafras Lass Sunshine and Lollipops.  LOVE this kit!  Probably one of my favorites to date!  This butterfly is so funky and retro that I wanted to pair it with some bright colors.  I think it would make a cute girly graduation card.  What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by!
