{ippity} Thanks(giving) Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the thanks(giving) blog hop with a few {ippity} chicks!!  Thanksgiving is a great time of year...it usually marks the beginning of the holiday season.  It's also a time to think about all we are thankful for. What a great time to have a blog hop centered around giving thanks and thanksgiving!

So pull up a chair, grab your favorite beverage, and hop through the blogs!

I am giving away some {ippity} goodness to a random peep, so don't forget to leave a comment (winner will be picked on 11/25!).  Some of the other chicks are also giving away blog candy, too, so comment along the hop!!  Happy Hopping!!!

My project is a mini acrylic tag album. I created this album to carry with me as a symbol of my gratitude and thankfulness. Loads of pictures to show you all the details.

I used the following {ippity} stamps for this project: Season of Joy; A Moment in Time; Here and Now; Straight from the Heart; Loads of Love; Love in Return; and The Simple Things.

Unity's Friends with Flair

With Thanksgiving next week, I thought to show a little gratitude with this card. I used the following {ippity} stamps to create this cute little birdie card:

A Moment in Time

Fall for You

Copic markers used to color this cute little bird on the branch are V20 - Wisteria; V25 - Pale Blackberry; Y23 - Yellowish Beige; and YG95 - Pale Olive.

Other supplies used: Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa; ColorBox Chalk Ink in Blackberry; and a white Glaze pen.

As always, shipping is free for any size {ippity} order and you get a free gift.

Enjoy!!

November Release Day!!!!

So very excited for this release! So without further ado,

Pain and Pride - so very cute

Warm Wishes - hello winter wonderland

Find us under New Releases to take us home

Card using Pain and Pride: I wanted a clean look to feature the adorable penguin on skis. Of course, there was a load of Copic markers used to create this little guy, but it was way fun.

Up close and personal to the Mr. Skiing Penguin

Card using Warm Wishes: I pulled out the embossing gun (a tool that I have not had out in a while) for this card. To add some more elegance to the flourish, I added pearls to the centers of all the snowflakes. I love using Memento ink pads - they stamp clean and crisp. I have had the London Fog color for a while now. I bought it thinking it was gray. It is really a blue gray but, works wonder for tone on tone looks with this color range.

Remember, there is always free shipping on all orders. And all orders receive a grab bag stamp and a handmade card added to the order. So have fun shopping for {ippity} stamps.

Enjoy!

It is often the Bend...

It is often the bends in the road that teach us how to live our lives. Funny how a car stamp and saying make me look at life. October is here and gone and now we are into November. How time slips away sometimes. I say goodbye to October with a cold that is still hanging on and memories that I wish that I did not have from this month. But I have learned that God does not protect us from what will perfect us. Certainly when I made this card, I did not think it would be a life lesson, but sometimes the simplest things come from the things and people we love.

Onto the card: I used some burlap like ribbon, Tim Holtz patterned paper, and Authentic Man stamp set from Ippity.
