Hip Hoppin' Sneak Peeks!!!
It is an awesome size. I used it here on this card, combined with the Confessions kit. Isn't it soooo sassy?!!!!
I made a little chalkboard card. The little school house image is just adorable. Don't forget about the Frame This Alpha. I used it for the ABC on the board and inked them up with white craft ink. The rest of the sentiment is my own handwriting written with a white gel pen. This last one just makes me smile. Now I have something to make you smile!!!! You've reached the end of the Hip Hop!!!! Wanna win this set, Time for Travel???? I thought it was appropriate since so many people are away, including me. Just leave me a comment, be patient, and I'll draw a winner late Sunday when I get back from our little vacation. For now, hang out in the Hip Hop forum and join the fun!!!! Thanks for stopping by. Hugs, Lisa

Untiy Sneak Peek day 3!!!
The sentiment and bird on the branch image are seperate(like I used in my card below), BUT I love how this sentiment just nestles into the branch!
I did a card here with just the quote paired up with some October Afternoon dp, Road Maps. Wouldn't this be a fun card to throw into a suitcase for someone going off to college? Too, bad I don't know anyone leaving for college. Hugs, Lisa

Wingin' It with Stamp Something

Trick or Treat to a Hip Hop Beat!
I've got 3 treats, not tricks for you today. I had soooo much fun making these. I really like this tree and the fact that it comes with 3 different sentiments makes it even more fantabulous! This first one is my fave sentiment. Have you heard the funny little-can't get it out of your head-catchy little tune Moose A. Moose sings on Noggin, "No, I don't like Candy corn"? Do you have toddlers, do you know the song? It cracks me up and that is the first thing I thought of when I read this sentiment. I on the other hand, adore candy corn-love that you can buy it in bulk! I used my markers (razzleberry, curry, and pumpkin) to made the sentiment look like candycorn. The layout is CASED from the SU catalog.I used the spotlight technique on this next card to highlight the yummy candies.
I layered up some punches to create the sentiment and finished it off with some sweet gingham ribbon. This last treat turned out just how I envisioned it. I LOVE to create this sponged background with any silhouette tree (see this one I did last year with the Growing in Unity tree) and knew these colors would help create the spooky nite sky just for the occasion. So there you have it, three treats from me. Now off you go to visit ****Christi****!!!
Happy Hopping! Hugs, Lisa

Pat Yourself on the Back!
Isn't it just wonderful? I know many of you already pre-ordered it, but today is the official release day. So if you haven't ordered it, GO order it !!!
I didn't know where to start. There were so many images I was dying to get inky. Sooooo what better way than to create a little set of love notes-six little 3x3 cards all with the same basic layout.
I did a lot of paper piecing (just can't seem to get enough of that Basic Grey Lemonade paper!!!) and added the fun little ribbon-button treatment and I'm so happy with how these turned out.
The other card I have for you today, is seriously, I think one of my favorite card I have made in a long time. Of course it helps when you have such a darling image to work with (and more of that yummy paper). This tree was my absolute FAVE image we voted on.
I left off a sentiment so I could personalize this card when I felt ready to give it away. Although, I am honestly thinking of keeping it and framing it. It would make the cutest little bit of artwork for my craft room! Keep on Hoppin'!!! Your next stop is AJ!!!! I know she'll have something fabulous to dazzle you with! Happy Hip Hop and thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend! Hugs, LisaWednesday, July 15, 2009

It's Thursday!!!! That Means it's Hip Hop Time!!!
On these next two projects you get an idea of how the letters and the frames work together.
I used the miss you sentiment, omitting the I, from the July KOTM (oh, the flowers come from the kit, too!). I used the capital I from the alpha and stamped it inside the cute little scalloped circle (this one is my fave!). I punched it out using my yellow Marvy Scallop circle punch (I think it's the extra jumbo size). You can just use scissors to cut it out, too. Next up is a little pillow box pouch I made for one of my BFF's. Her birthday is today and I got her a Pandora bead, put it in the pouch and added her mongram to the ribbon. This time used the tag frame image. I was able to punch this one out using my Small Tag punch by SU.
Keep on hoppin', enjoy all the inspiration. I know there will be LOTS of it!
From here head on over to the Uber talented Heather B. Happy Hip Hoppin'! Hugs, Lisa
