~ H{ippity} Hop! ~

It's a bank holiday here in the UK and the start of an Easter break for me. Gosh, it does feel good not to have to get up early. Thankfully my boys aren't early risers either! 

Recently my boys played in a violin concert and I was fortunate to be able to capture that moment and turned it into a LO: 

This 4x6" LO was created using a Scarlet Lime Feb10 kit. I made use of {ippity} Music Of My Heart set as it fitted the theme perfectly. 

My next project is a tag using Fishy Philosophy. 

I sponged the background using distressed inks.  After stamping the 'tree', I coloured in using a glittery pen to make it shine.

Thanks for dropping by. Hope you had a great Easter and have a good week ahead! 

~ H{ippity} Hop! ~

The start of the week again. Weekend sure passed far too quickly. My new sets of {ippity} stamps arrived last week and I couldn't wait to play. 

I created a mini 4x6" LO using Love In Return. I luv making these mini LOs as they are quick to do and 4x6 albums are easily and cheaply available (I merely use photo albums). A 12x12 LO usually takes me 2-3 hrs to create and sometimes I just don't have time on my side to sit down to play. The minis can easily be done in less than half an hour. 

Patterned papers by My Mind's Eye Bloom & Grow. Bought a pack of 6x6 papers mainly for cards but they were so delish that I had to use some for this mini LO. 

I also created a tag as well. I luv creating them as they are easy to create and I can use the stamped images rather 'themelessly'. They tend to be given away frequently i.e. tucked in to birthday card etc.

The background was created by putting the tag over misted stencil. It's such a shame to wipe the mist off the stencil after it has been used on a background. Hence, I keep tags around to kinda 'soak' the mist up and they come in handy when I'm creating tags. Then I stamped the background with the musical note stamp image from Music From My Heart set. The rest kinda flowed in. Have to say, this stamp set is one of my favs!

Thanks for dropping by and have a great week ahead.
