1st Day of New Releases at Rusty Pickle Digital Delights

Hello and Happy Monday!!
Today I am so glad to show you my creation made with one of the beautiful new releases from The Rusty Pickle Digital Delights.
We are going to have 3 days of new releases and today is only the 1st. We have some wonderful floral images to share with you. I made my card using this new digi



I wanted to do something with this image that I can only do very easily with a digital image. I printed the image out on my cardstock for coloring, then printed it on the green cardstock. After that I resized it so that it was a little smaller than the 1st one and printed a few of those to be colored also. I decided to make a little "bouquet" with the image and cut out three of the smaller flowers after they were colored and added them with pop dots to give them some dimension. Then as I cut the images with my Spellbinders dies I made sure to line them up so the stems would match the way I wanted the dies positioned on the card. Here is my end result

The papers, cardstock, sticker and ribbon are all from Close To My Heart. I colored the flowers with copics, the pearls are Kaisercraft and I used a Martha Stewart border punch.

Remember you still have time to complete a card for our Tart and Tangy Tuesday Challenge from last week. For more info on the challenge OR to get this great new image you can go visit the Rusty Pickle site by clicking on my banner to the right. Be sure to check out the other listed Design Team members that have new releases today also. Thanks for visiting, have a GREAT week and I will be back tomorrow with another New Release.

H{ippity} Hop!!!

Hello and happy H{ippity} Hopping Monday. This is my 1st {ippity} blog hop and I'm so excited to see all of the wonderful creations by all of the incredible {ippity} girls. Sorry if my post is late, I wasn't sure what time things got started and my daughter has a late start at school every Monday (9:15 first bell). If you just happened upon my blog today you should really go to the {ippity} blog to check out where things started and to see the list of creative participants....there is an {ippity} blinkie to your right that will get you there.
Here is my project for today. This quote is an absolute favorite of mine, especially in the last 2 years. We have had to downsize from a 3 bedroom full basement duplex condo home to a 2 bedroom apartment. Though I've worried about my daughter (of course) and how things would affect her....she is still in the same school she has been in since Kindergarten....this quote is SO TRUE for us. There is so much love between us that it really doesn't matter where we live and what we have, or don't have, as long as we are together.

This project includes
stamps from {ippity}
bracket from Life's little moments
tree from Simply Home (LOVE this tree, I think it may be an {ippity} classic)
Papers (piggy tales) and ribbon are left overs from an old kit, not sure where I got it.
house chipboard and bird charms are Maya Road
pearls from Kaisercraft
Fiskars border punch
label dies from spellbinders

I would like to say CONGRATS to Lisa and Michelle for becoming part of the amazing {ippity} design team!!! I can't wait to see what fabulous and inspiring projects you have for us in the future.

THANKS so much for stopping by today, Have a great day!!!
