Loads of Love and Things to Come

Happy Friday to everyone! The weekend is here!

I wanted to share a project that Melissa, one of my DT members, created. She used the {ippity} set, Loads of Love. This set was designed by Tracey Malnofski, owner and artist of The Stamping Boutique, and also an “Artista” for Unity Stamp Co.

Over at The Crafter’s Café in the Get Hippity with {ippity} group, Challenge #4’s Color Combo is still going on. You still have a few days to get your entry in. The prize is an {ippity} stamp set of your choice from my {ippity} Sales Blog.

Beginning in September we, me and my GHWI Design Team, are opening up our blog to two monthly challenges. Each will begin on the first and third Mondays of the month. Our very first one, on Sept. 5, is a sketch challenge. One of the privileges of being a Get Hippity with {ippity} group member is you will get a sneak peak, two weeks in advance, of the next challenge! You will also get a sneak peak of creations made with the next {ippity} stamp set release. Come on over and join us. We are a group of very talented and fun loving crafters.

Thanks for stopping by The Crafter’s Café blog and reading my rambles. I hope to see you again next Friday.

We also cannot wait to see what her imagination brings to the table. Go check out Rhonda’s blog, “Rhonda’s Place to Share,” to find out more about Rhonda. She is one talented and very busy crafter!

I also want to share some projects created by Melissa. You can find out more about Melissa at her blog, “My Many Journeys.”

Melissa’s first project, “Feel Better Card,” was created with {ippity}’s stamp set, The Simple Things. I love this layout and her colors. This is also a very popular stamp set.

For the second card, Melissa used Unity’s March 2011 Kit of the Month. I love this set!
