Anyone else exhausted from a weekend of 

National Scrapbook Daying it?

I'm one tired puppy, but I got a lot accomplished!

I'll have *TWO* different posts today as I have two different

Blog Hops that I'm participating in.

First up is our regularly scheduled

with EAD Designs.

You should be stopping here from Rose's Happy Place.

Up for this Monday's Hop I have a super cute card that I thought

would go along great with end-of-school-year festivities.

I've used the apple and heart motifs from the 

I've had these scalloped cards from Stampin' Up for quite some time now,
but you could easily create your own with the wide variety of Sizzix dies and SVG
files available out there today!
Patterned papers & sticker letters are from the STORYTELLER collection by Crate Paper.
I simply printed the little sentiment from my computer and created the dovetail
with a small star punch.
Now it's time for a stop over at Amy's Blog!
See you in a bit :)

Ahhh, to be a child of the 80's

Guess jeans, Swatch watches,OP t-shirts, penny loafers and

BIG HAIR!

My kids found this picture of me, taken when I was 18.

Now, was that some hair, or was THAT some hair?  I have riotous curly hair

and this particular day it happened to fix just perfectly :)  Julia Roberts had nothing on me hahaha!

I did this layout for my sponsored challenge over at the My Scrapbook Nook

MOVIE MADNESS CROP.

The challenge is entitled "The Red Carpet"

and the only instructions are to use shades of red on a layout or card.
I used the April Nook Kit featuring STORYTELLER by Crate Paper.
The Maya Road chip frame also came in the kit, and I spritzed it with Mister Huey's
REAL RED...perfectly matches these papers.  For the flowers I used the
I Top Punch from Imaginisce and the Trio flower punch from EK Success.

You still have plenty of time to come over and play along with us!

--------------------------------------------------

Tomorrow I'm up at Imaginisce for our Canvas Corp. Blog Hop.

I have some really fun stuff to share with you.

Also tomorrow is the Monday EAD Blog Hop.

Lots to do...lots to see!

Have a blessed Sunday

It's the countdown to the weekend...happy Thursday!

First up, I want to make mention of the truly sweet and adorable

I have it

Congratulations to our new team members...
they are truly amazing...really, truly :)
 I invite you to our wonderfully inspiring Message Board...
drama free and fun LOL
Come on by and see what we're cookin' up for you!

If you love designing cards or other paper/craft projects with stamps and
would love the opportunity to design with Ippity brand stamps,
then give Heather a holler! She's hosting a Guest Design Team Call and
will accept applications until the end of this month.
IHI was my very first Design Team and
I love how much it has evolved in the past year.
 So if you're thinking that you would like to give a Design Team
 a go, this would be the perfect place to get your start :)

And being that it's Thursday and all....

I have a Totally Terrific Thursday card to share today.

Again, I have pulled out the {Storyteller} Collection by Crate Paper
and the {How You Doin'} Ippity Stamp Set

I'm so in love with Mister Huey by Studio Calico...in my
 personal opinion, it's the best spray mist that I've used to color
 plain chipboard.  The {Real Red} is simply a perfect match
 to the Storyteller papers.For the butterfly centers?
I really wanted to bring out the green in the leaves of the paper,
 so I took three decorative stick pins from Maya Road and snipped
 off the pin part...voila!

That's all for today...I should have a brand new blog look within a day or two,
so don't be shocked if you don't recognize it the next time you stop by.
See you soon!

I have a TOOT to share that 

made me grin from *ear-to-ear* this morning!

My NOOK card was featured there today...along with Danni and Jessy from The Nook!

This is a new board established by Crate Paper in which

their Design Team gals go on the hunt for projects made

with CP products!

"And as an extra special reward, each month, we pick a favorite from the board to win a Crate Paper goody box!! The winning project is posted here, at our blog, as part of our monthly Pinterest line-up, scheduled the first of the month...

Now, how fun is that!?!

So get those projects out there...blog 'em, scrapbook.com 'em, 2peas 'em...you get the picture :)

Back tomorrow with Totally Terrific Thursday...ooo, I'm lovin' this card that I made today and can't wait to share it!

Thanks for stopping by...you make my day ♥
