H{ippity} Hop Monday!

Brrrrrrr! It's been sooo cold here in the Midwest (and across the country from what I've heard!). I'm here with a little {ippity} to warm you up! It's our Monday blog hop and I love seeing what beautiful {ippity} creation you all have been making. Now that the holidays are over, I've been spending some extra time with my {ippity} stamps! This weekend I made something just for ME! It's a prayer journal. I'm part of a women's bible study at our church on Wed. mornings and we start the day with Joys and Concerns. I finally have a sweet little notebook to keep track of who needs prayers. The {ippity} set, Devoted was perfect for the job.
You can purchase this set and any other {ippity} sets, HERE!
Since this was for me, I used all things I LOVE!!! I kept the chipboard cover naked, well sort of, and added random sized squares of my fave designer paper, in three of my favorite colors-aqua, olive, and chocolate chip. I love sewing, buttons, twine and ribbon, so I HAD to include those here, too! I also added a bit of glimmer and shine, cuz, guess what the {ippity} hip hop challenge is this week......yep, you guessed it GLITZ!!!!
I stamped the sentiment on kraft cs and then made it sparkle with iridescent ice embossing powder. I also did the same for the heart in the square above the sentiment.
And to make it all that more GLAM! I added a few kaiser rhinestones interspersed between my buttons and in my ribbon square (okay, okay, it's a rectangle, I know!!!).

Be sure to check out the {ippity} blog for the full list of H{ippity} Hoppers! And check in to the forum on SCS to get the full details of this weeks challenge (IHHC6). There is a prize up for grabs and you can only win if you play! Alrigthy, I'm off to see the H{ippity} Hop!

Hugs, Lisa
