Onto a challenge I played in:

This week's Splitcoast color challenge is called "White Island Pool". The actual SU colors are: White, Island Indigo,Pool Party.

So those are the SU in colors which I actually do not have :-( So I picked out other SU colors that I hope are close enough. I used Pacific Point Blue and Bliss blue. No one go and compare actual paper though ok?

Here is what I came up with using the {ippity} kit called Where you should be:

I added some black lace ribbon just because. I hope that is not against the color challenge rules! LOL! That fabulous ribbon is from Creating is Fun! I'm happy to report Martha from Creating is fun has asked me to be a part of her Design Team! WOO HOO!

{ippity} Fun with canvas

Last week I got the new Stampers Sampler in the mail. I was inspired (as usual) by all the wonderful creations. The featured artist however used fun fabrics on her cards which I thought was fabulous. SO I decided to take out some fabrics that I had and play around.

Here is what I came up with:

For this I used some cool paper from Basic Grey, embossed it and added some color to the embossing. Underneath the paper I layered some fabric at the edge. I pulled out some canvas, sprayed it with some glimmer mists and stamped on it using {ippity} stamps. The sentiment was stamped on a piece of a shipping tag I ripped and altered with color.

I was not sure what I thought about this when I finished it but I liked how it came out. I think I will make another one in a different color and maybe a video tutorial!

Be sure to swing on by the UNITY STAMP CO's site to order your {IPPITY} from me! I would love to be your {ippity} chick! You can also order Unity along with your {ippity} now which is a wonderful thing.

Just Us Girls COLOR CHALLENGE!

This week is color challenge week with JUST US GIRLS! Our hostess Vicki has picked some pretty colors: Pink, Red and White. Of course this makes me think of Valentine's day! For my creation this week I also played along in the Friday Splitcoast challenge called Have a Heart, where we had to use at least 2 hearts on our project.

Here is what I came up with:

For this I used Stampin Up and Basic Grey papers. My stamped images are from Unity and {ippity}. The hearts are from the {ippity} kit called Music of my Heart and the banner on the right is from the {ippity} kit called The Best. Ok so my "pink" loves a bit like orange or coral but I promise you it is a shade of pink.
