No one warned him about me, and he chose a romantic comedy movie for our first date. Oh, yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I belly laughed at a funny scene and people looked at me weird, he knew he better run or marry me quick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He married me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's what this sentiment means to me. Live loud. Live like you &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;mean it&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. It doesn't matter what anyone but God thinks of you. Sing your song, and only your song, as loud as you can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;supplies ~ cardstock: Prism, dsp: DCWV Luxury Stack, ribbon: Joann's, flower: Making Memories, brad: Recollections, image &amp;amp; sentiment: {ippity} &lt;a href="http://gotippity.blogspot.com/"&gt;Music of my Heart&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used the sketch from &lt;a href="http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/2010/03/midnight-madness-sketch-challenge-44.html"&gt;Midnight Madness&lt;/a&gt; for this card. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also remember I'm offering a special deal on one of the kits I used this week, &lt;a href="http://gotippity.blogspot.com/search/label/Where%20You%20Should%20Be"&gt;Where You Should Be&lt;/a&gt;!

The challenge to the design team this week was to use buttons! I decided to use just one this time. I was going for a less-is-more kind of card. Check it out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LH8RGuHK_tA/S5n6NzFDEzI/AAAAAAAABW8/V1oG5Sgten0/s1600-h/They+That+Wait.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LH8RGuHK_tA/S5n6NzFDEzI/AAAAAAAABW8/V1oG5Sgten0/s320/They+That+Wait.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I decided to try something different with the nestie label. Usually I just fill the entire frame with what ever is the focus. This verse is much wider than it is tall, however, and there would be a lot of extra space at the top and bottom. The paper I used is from K &amp;amp; Co., which is double sided, so I took some of the reverse pattern from the background paper to fill in on the bottom part of the label die. Trim with a edge punch, and voila! A flower with a button center is all that was needed to finish off this card. I also used Antique Linen Distress ink on the edges of the focal panel and sponged a little all over the white cardstock to tone it down, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;supplies ~ cardstock: SU!

Sorry I didn't have a Growing in Unity post yesterday; some things came up that prevented me from getting it up in time. I'll post one more Unity/{ippity} project tomorrow for one more chance to get your name into the draw for &lt;a href="http://unitystampco.com/uploads/stamps/Rows-of-Yummies.jpg?1257892399"&gt;Rows of Yummies&lt;/a&gt;. Sound good? Thought so! I'll draw a winner on Sunday.&amp;nbsp; =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LH8RGuHK_tA/S5oRbqQbOZI/AAAAAAAABXE/S_2UGJkikCU/s1600-h/Happy+Bird-day+front+only.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LH8RGuHK_tA/S5oRbqQbOZI/AAAAAAAABXE/S_2UGJkikCU/s320/Happy+Bird-day+front+only.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Today I made a birthday card using &lt;a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/camis_trifold_card/"&gt;a trifold technique&lt;/a&gt;. I've done gate folds and a couple of other kinds of folds, but never this kind. I got my inspiration from a photo on the &lt;a href="http://caardvarks.blogspot.com/2010/03/photo-inspiration-challenge.html"&gt;Caardvarks blog&lt;/a&gt;, and just happened to have this really cute patterned paper with the birds on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a total of six visible panels on this kind of card, not including the backside. The trick is to come up with enough interesting things to keep the eye moving, but they should all be tied together somehow. For mine, it was the bird stamps that coordinate with the birdhouses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;supplies ~ kraft: Bazzill, cardstock: DCWV Indian Summer Cardstock Stack, dsp: DCWV Green Stack, ribbon: Joann's, stamps: Unity February Stampin Store Kit &lt;a href="http://backporchmemories.com/UnityStamps.htm"&gt;{Life is Fabulous}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LH8RGuHK_tA/S5oRdiqZ9DI/AAAAAAAABXM/asceJujbkio/s1600-h/Happy+Bird-day+open+insdie.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_LH8RGuHK_tA/S5oRdiqZ9DI/AAAAAAAABXM/asceJujbkio/s320/Happy+Bird-day+open+insdie.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LH8RGuHK_tA/S5oRfg74vHI/AAAAAAAABXU/YoMJrQhHR98/s1600-h/Happy+Bird-day+open+outside.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LH8RGuHK_tA/S5oRfg74vHI/AAAAAAAABXU/YoMJrQhHR98/s320/Happy+Bird-day+open+outside.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also remember I'm offering a special deal on one of the kits I used this week, &lt;a href="http://gotippity.blogspot.com/search/label/Where%20You%20Should%20Be"&gt;Where You Should Be&lt;/a&gt;!

It's actually a single flourish from Sizzix (Nesting Swirls Set #2) that I cut in half to put it on either side of the flower. I colored the flower with Prisma pencils and OMS. Both the punched circle and the flower are popped up on pop dots. Lastly, I stamped a Scripture verse inside, Romans 5:8 - "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;supplies ~ cardstock: Georgia Pacific, dsp: DCWV: Luxury Stack (greens) &amp;amp; unknown (white pinstripe), image: AiFactory, sentiment: Sweet &amp;amp; Sassy Stamps&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used this week's sketch from &lt;a href="http://2sketches4you.blogspot.com/2010/03/lauras-sketch-47.html"&gt;2 Sketches 4 You&lt;/a&gt;, entered it for this week's &lt;a href="http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2010/03/tuesday-trigger-lovely-on-green.html"&gt;Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger&lt;/a&gt;, and since Easter is a cause for joy, I entered it in this week's &lt;a href="http://stampinsistersinchrist.blogspot.com/2010/03/challenge-29-isaiah-126.html"&gt;Stampin' Sisters in Christ&lt;/a&gt; challenge, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make sure you hop over to the rest of the design team, too, and then when you've made YOUR card, link it up on the &lt;a href="http://aifactorychallenges.blogspot.com/"&gt;AiF challenge blog&lt;/a&gt;!

The stamp is drawn with leaves, but I wanted to have flowers, and the sequins I used were really tiny. I used the smallest rhinestones I could find in my stash, too. Silly me!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's hard to tell (you can click the pic to see it larger), but I cut the green cardstock to simulate grass, then bent the blades out a bit to give the card a bit more dimension.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;supplies ~ cardstock: Georgia Pacific (white) &amp;amp; The Paper Company (green), sequins: stash, rhinestones: Me &amp;amp; My Big Ideas, stamps: Unity February Stampin' Store Kit, &lt;a href="http://backporchmemories.com/UnityStamps.htm"&gt;{Life is Fabulous}&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember that I'm offering a special deal on one of the {ippity} kits, &lt;a href="http://gotippity.blogspot.com/search/label/Where%20You%20Should%20Be"&gt;Where You Should Be&lt;/a&gt;!

I hope you enjoyed the H{ippity} Hop yesterday! The fun continues here, though, with another {ippity} card.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LH8RGuHK_tA/S5YI-1BVzDI/AAAAAAAABWU/tnHNG_Dsuw0/s1600-h/Right+Where+You+Should+Be.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LH8RGuHK_tA/S5YI-1BVzDI/AAAAAAAABWU/tnHNG_Dsuw0/s320/Right+Where+You+Should+Be.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Yesterday, my card had lots of layers, so I decided to try a clean and simple card today. I remembered trying out coloring on kraft with colored pencils from &lt;a href="http://thepaperfreak.blogspot.com/2009/05/hip-hop-hangover_08.html"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt;, and I really wanted to give it another try. I really love making the sentiment the focal point of a card, too. Then I saw this frame in another {ippity} kit and thought, "Hmmmm...". As it so happens, this sentiment fits perfectly inside this journaling block from &lt;a href="http://gotippity.blogspot.com/2010/02/ipk-115-love-in-return.html"&gt;Love in Return&lt;/a&gt;. It has lines inside the frame for writing, but I just inked up the outer part of the stamp. After trying it out on this card, I started getting lots of &lt;b&gt;other&lt;/b&gt; ideas for other ways to use this block!&amp;nbsp; =D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;supplies ~ kraft: Bazzill, sentiment: {ippity} &lt;a href="http://gotippity.blogspot.com/2010/02/ipk-110-where-you-should-be.html"&gt;Where You Should Be&lt;/a&gt;, frame: {ippity} &lt;a href="http://gotippity.blogspot.com/2010/02/ipk-115-love-in-return.html"&gt;Love in Return&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for stopping by today!

I also used the &lt;a href="http://cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/2010/03/cps-157-part-1.html"&gt;CPS sketch for this week&lt;/a&gt;. To liven things up a bit, I used one of my nesties to cut the edges of the brown paper to echo the frames. I watermarked the leaves and sponged a little brown ink around the edges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;supplies ~ kraft: Bazzill, dsp: Basic Grey Archaic, stamps: {ippity} &lt;a href="http://gotippity.blogspot.com/search/label/Where%20You%20Should%20Be"&gt;Where You Should Be&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alright...I suppose you'd like to know what you can win if you leave a comment, right?

Today I'm sharing an image from &lt;a href="http://sugarcreekhollow.blogspot.com/"&gt;Sugar Creek Hollow&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LH8RGuHK_tA/S5DXoaXPsgI/AAAAAAAABV8/RF7RIeGtDlc/s1600-h/Happy+Day%21.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_LH8RGuHK_tA/S5DXoaXPsgI/AAAAAAAABV8/RF7RIeGtDlc/s320/Happy+Day%21.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;I've been wanting to play with this stamp for a while, but just hadn't found the right sketch/colors/mojo to get it to work right. Finally, it all came together!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The design team challenge this week was to use the colors Riding Hood Red, Pretty in Pink, Baja Breeze and Chocolate Chip. I just couldn't figure out how to get the red in there to my liking, so I used just a teeny bit to make the image pop a bit. I used my Prisma pencils and a blender pencil again. After coloring the pink flower, I tipped it with just a bit of red, and on the blue flower I highlighted with dark brown on the tips and center of the flower to give it more depth. The original stamp makes it easy to highlight since it already has penwork highlights!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;supplies ~ cardstock: SU! Chocolate Chip, dsp: K &amp;amp; Co.

As you can see from my card, &lt;i&gt;that kind of week&lt;/i&gt; turned into a boo boo on my card. No bow, no bling (unless you count the metal flower). Sigh. I'll get it right next week.&amp;nbsp; =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used my Prisma pencils, but instead of OMS I just used a blending pencil to soften the pencil lines.

The mother was only 12 weeks into the pregnancy, but the Lord decided to take the baby early. I can't even imagine the grief of losing a little one. Please pray for them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I did some embossed resist on the focal image. After stamping the flowers on the bottom, I used VersaMark to stamp the sentiment and embossed with clear ep. Then I sponged some ink over the entire panel to soften the stark white. A few pearls on the mat finished the card.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;supplies ~ cardstock: Georgia Pacific, dsp: DCWV Old World Stack, image: Unity January Stampin' Store Kit {Livin' and Lovin' Life}, sentiment: {ippity} Just Wanted to Say&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for stopping by today!

Inside, a scalloped border forms a pocket to hold some extra recipe cards to share or to collect recipes from someone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;supplies ~ cardstock: Martha Stewart (red) &amp;amp; The Paper Company (black), images: &lt;a href="http://www.aivault.com/store/catalog/fruity-recipie-cards-pdf-printable-with-matching-graphics-sheet.html"&gt;AiFactory&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And since the print is really hard to see, here's the recipe from Cooking Light, 2003:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="rcpdetail" id="ingredients"&gt;             &lt;h2&gt;Ingredients&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;           4&amp;nbsp;                ounces&amp;nbsp;          Cajun smoked sausage, chopped (such as Conecuh)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;           3&amp;nbsp;                cups&amp;nbsp;          fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;           1&amp;nbsp;               (14.5-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;           6&amp;nbsp;                cups&amp;nbsp;          coarsely chopped kale (about 8 ounces)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;           1&amp;nbsp;               (16-ounce) can navy beans, drained and rinsed&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- end class="rcpdetail" --&gt;            &lt;div class="rcpdetail" id="preparation"&gt;                &lt;h2&gt;Preparation&lt;/h2&gt;Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add smoked sausage to pan; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chicken broth and diced tomatoes; bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the kale. Reduce heat, and simmer 4 minutes or until the kale is tender. Stir in beans, and cook 1 minute or until soup is thoroughly heated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I prefer collard greens to kale, so I substitute when I make this soup. Salad and some crusty break make this a great warm up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out what the rest of the team has done, too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://kerryischilling.blogspot.com/"&gt;Kerry&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://littlecardmaker.blogspot.com/"&gt;Lola&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://finkshappenings.blogspot.com/"&gt;Fink&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://angiecortesdesigns.blogspot.com/"&gt;Angie&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://fibrejunky.blogspot.com/"&gt;Carole&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://erinscrafts.blogspot.com/"&gt;Erin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://penny-buschcreations.blogspot.com/"&gt;Penny&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.megbeedesigns.blogspot.com/"&gt;Michelle&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://stamperschef.blogspot.com/"&gt;Fliss&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.giddygreetings.com/"&gt;Monica&lt;/a&gt;, &amp;amp; &lt;a href="http://carliebugcrafts.blogspot.com/"&gt;Carlie&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like these recipe cards?

You can get a list of all the designers at the &lt;a href="http://aifactorychallenges.blogspot.com/"&gt;AiF Challenge Blog&lt;/a&gt;. The design team was provided a calendar set to work with, and I knew as soon as I saw the medallions on each calendar that I wanted to make an ornament with one of my empty ribbon spools. Here's a sample of the calendar set:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://aivault.com/store/catalog/10219.html"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://aivault.com/store/content/10219/thumb2.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LH8RGuHK_tA/S3zQkGZ-P0I/AAAAAAAABTc/OJfxIgTcr5o/s1600-h/Green+Bird+ornament.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LH8RGuHK_tA/S3zQkGZ-P0I/AAAAAAAABTc/OJfxIgTcr5o/s320/Green+Bird+ornament.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I opened one of the calendars in my image editing software, selected just the medallion and deleted the rest of the image. I made sure to measure the size of the Nestabilities circle die I was going to use before sizing my image. Once it was printed out (two copies) and cut with the Nestabilities, I mounted it on a scalloped mat. To hide the core of the spool, I wrapped it with some coordinating ribbon before adhering the medallion to the front and back of the empty spool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great way to use up something you'd otherwise throw out, eh?

I love how versatile this set is! I made the front of the card with a flower I made myself with a Sizzix die and a button. I wanted to keep it pretty simple, so I used kraft and just a bit of dsp to give the card a bit of rustic flair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_itDeXVA0B_I/S3flqJEz7JI/AAAAAAAAABo/-YX829gNC98/s1600-h/Thinking+of+You+inside.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_itDeXVA0B_I/S3flqJEz7JI/AAAAAAAAABo/-YX829gNC98/s320/Thinking+of+You+inside.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Inside is a sweet little treat for a friend: matching flowers from the front and a few buttons! The recipient can take the flowers and buttons off the acetate sheet to use on her own projects.
