Fun from the Castle!

Hey there peeps! Today I have a fun card to share with you using a fun image from QUEEN KAT DESIGNS!

These images are fantastic images for coloring and she has a great variety of styles.  This card is using the image Unique Francis Mary:

I decided to use this one image in 2 parts, so I cute out circles with a circle punch the parts I wanted.  I think it works great!  I almost looks like the cat is peeping out from behind a tree but really it's her skirt.  I used my tiny attacher to attach the lace, gotta love that tool!  And my paper is from My Mind's Eye. 

Be sure to go check out all the great images Queen Kat has to offer!

Till later!

Got {ippity} Design Team Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Got {ippity} Floral Fun Blog Hop!  This is a fun hop of my {ippity} design team!  For those who are not familiar with {ippity}, it is a line of rubber stamps manufactured by Unity Stamp Co.  The {ippity} line is separate from the Unity line but has the same wonderful quality but it is marketed though Unity Endorsed {ippity} chicks, reps for {ippity}.  I am an {ippity} CHICK and would love to be yours!  To order {ippity} just go to the Unity Website and on the lefthandside click {ippity} - Pick a CHICK & Order.  That will take you to the {ippity} chick page where you can pick me MARIA LEVINE!


NOW onto our blog hop for today!  As a chick I decided to put together a design team to help promote me as a chick and {ippity} stamps!  Today we are hopping with a springtime hop of flowers called floral fun! 


With it being National Scrapbook Day this past weekend I did a few layouts and decided this one works great for this hop:

I used wonderful lace from Creating is Fun and rolled them to create these flowers and of course the Echo Park paper in the background has flowers!  I used the {ippity} kit called A LIttle Buggy and the sentiment is actually from a Unity Kit.  


WIth being on the floral kick for this hop I wanted to share with you again in case you missed my previous post my layout for the Unity Sketch Challenge for National Scrapbooking Day:

The sentiment up top and the "recorded" circle are both {ippity} everything else is Unity.  Check out the post HERE for all the details!




Be sure to come and like my GOT {IPPITY} Facebook Fan PAGE HERE! - Invite your friends!

Be sure to come hop along with my Design Team as I know they have something wonderful to share with you today!   I will be offering an {ippity} prize to one random person who comments on this blog hop!  Winner to be picked on Friday May 11!

Here is the official order of the hop:

Paper Smooches Cardstock Contest

Hey there!  What are you doing for National Scrapbooking Day?  I worked on some layouts during the week one of which I shared earlier today and another for Monday.  So today I wanted to share with you a card for a contest.

Now I have a cute card to share with you using stamps from Paper Smooches!  I've been eyeing these great stamps for some time and finally got my hands on a set and it's called: Chubby Chums.  It's an adorable animal set.

On the Paper Smooches blog there is a contest going on right now to use just card stock on your card.  NO pattern paper at all is allowed.  When you think about it usually we always pull out some pattern papers for our cards and layouts so this is a challenge.  I decided I wanted to use the cute owl from the set so that determined my theme.  I thought it would be fun to have her sit in a tree.  SO using my circuit I was able to cut out a tree for her.  My background is embossed using an embossing folder and I added some of the new Tim Holtz Squeezed Lemonade ink over it.  This is from the spring distress ink release. My ribbon is from Creating is Fun.

Here is what I came up with:

Pretty simple but I thought it came out cute.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you got a little crafty today!
