Projects from the DT of GHWI

It’s Friday again and tomorrow brings October. All the fall colors in Oklahoma are starting to show. They are truly beautiful!

This week I wanted to share some projects that the GHWI Design Team has created for our Challenge #6 “Buttons, or Bows, or Bling, Oh My!” that ends tomorrow. I hope you enjoy them.

Julia has created a “clean and simple” card that is just stunning. She used the {ippity} stamp set “Now and Always.” This is one of my favorite sets and one of the most popular.

Melissa has created a vibrant project using Unity’s July Kit of The Month. I love her colors.

Rhonda has used an {ippity} set “Books a’ Flutter” for her beautiful card. I love her colors too, and her dry embossing.

October 3 is time for another Get Hippity with Ippity/Join the Unity Community challenge blog. Please join us for Challenge #7. Your challenge will be creating anything using the sketch that is provided. We want to see whatever your creative heart desires. What you win is an {ippity} stamp set of your choice and a Guest Designer spot on our challenge blog, featuring your creation using the ippity set you won.

We would also like to see you in our GHWI group at The Crafter’s Café. Come join the fun. Beginning in October we are going to start something new.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great and creative weekend!

Get Hippity with {ippity} Challenge #6

Another week has gone by! Can you believe it? Here in Oklahoma we have finally had some much needed rain. The temperature today was a high of 70°, just wonderful!

Today I am going to brag! I have the most wonderful and creative Design Team that anyone could ask for. To date, I have three DT members, Melissa, Rhonda, and Julia. I am going to show you what they have created for our current challenge at Get Hippity with {ippity} Challenge #6. The theme is “Buttons, or Bows, or Bling, Oh My!” You still have a week to enter.

After you have taken a look at their little pieces of art, please hop on over and give them some blog love.

Melissa’s project uses the “All things are Possible” set. This {ippity} set was designed by our own Tracey Malnofski. For Melissa’s details please visit her blog “My Many Journeys.”

Rhonda found time to create two projects. Her art was completed using the “Gingham Christmas Greetings” and “Books a’ Flutter” sets. Her blog, “Rhonda’s Place to Share,” will have all the details also.

Julia has designed some ATCs (artist trading cards). These are just beautiful! I am so glad that she chose fall colors. She has used the sets “Fall for You” and Now and Always.” All her details will be posted on her blog, “Paper and Scraps Creations by Julia.”

What other inspiration do you need to go and create something for our 6th challenge? You still have a week, so there should be no excuses! :) You win an {ippity}stamp set of your choice and a Guest Designer spot on our GHWI Challenge blog.

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!
