EtsyInspired #121 - La Pomme

Sometimes typos can be funny. I tried to make this EtsyInspired #1221. I haven't done the math, but it'll be a lot of weeks before we get that far! I wonder which shop we'll be highlighting and what year it will be...

In any case, our second shop for 2011 is La Pomme. My, oh my, but there are some gor-gee-ous items in this shop!

I love this lamp - and I'm thinking my mom would, too.

And then there's this fabulous sheet music. Le sigh!But neither of those were my inspiration this week. I used a combination of two items, the children's books and the kitty cup,

to make a kitty bookmark.

Deets:
Stamps: Stamp Fairy Kasi, MFT Well Read WTG
Colour Challenge: InStyle Stamps - purple, silver, white + sparkle
Etc: TE Scalloped Eyelet Border, Silver detail EP

Our sponsor for the week is StampFairy. She is giving away 3 digistamps of the winners choice!! Her stamps are super cute, too! The kitty cat on my bookmark is one of hers.

The prize from La Pommea pack containing vintage music sheets, vintage tin box, and a plush fruits. Sure wish I could win that one!! For full deets, check out the EIC blog.

Hop on over to see what the rest of the DT has to show today. Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you tomorrow for All Things Unity!!

By the way, I did the math. It'll be 21 years, 8 weeks.

Birthday Chloe

Quick post to go with a little challenge card. She's for Operation Write Home's Birthday Bash. InStyle Stamps hosted a challenge specifically for them. I CASE'd Taylor Usry's card, because I thought it was so cute. No bling, because it makes it difficult to mail from overseas. I also changed the colours a bit and used some paper from Basic Grey's Cupcake collection, since it was so fitting.

Of course I can never resist playing along with Etsy Inspired. Challenge 107's shop is called indigotwin, where I found this cute little mouse carrying a present. Adorable little guy, isn't he?
Bday Chloe is a digistamp from InStyle Stamps. You'll be seeing more of those from me. I have printer ink again! Woohoo!! The birthday sentiment is from Paper Makeup Stamps' Birthday Cheer set, which was designed by the super awesome Shaela Odd. It's a really versatile set to have and stamps from PMS are very high quality. Service from both companies mentioned is tops!

That's all from me for now. I've got several cards I want to get done (and you might get to see them in a couple weeks...cross your fingers for me, 'kay?) plus more homework. So far, so good in that area. Best semester I've had in ages.

Catch you later peeps!

H{ippity} Hop-a-doodle Do!

Yes, I'm in a silly mood. Sometimes I just can't help it, especially when I'm happy. VSN was so much fun this weekend! I am exhausted, but it was worth it! As of the time this post goes live, there will be 14 hours remaining for people to get their cards up and still be eligible for prizes. A master challenge thread is posted here, so if you didn't get a chance to catch it live, you still have time to play along with one or two challenges!

I overdid it again - which happens pretty much every time there's a VSN, and my back is very cranky today. I'll probably be moving a little slow all week. Thank goodness for ibuprofen is all I have to say.

So for today's {ippity} hop, I pulled out another stamp set I hadn't yet inked up. Yes, I know. I have too many of those, which is a situation I'm working hard to rectify. This one is Fishy Philosophy. I went with sleepyinseattle's salted background technique challenge from Saturday evening. This is a really fun technique! I used my Distress Ink pads and reinkers to get the ocean-y colours I was looking for.So, in addition to the VSN challenge and CPS sketch 182, this is also for EIC103. I used the fish on this cute little bracelet, which I'm tempted to order for one of my girls to set aside for Christmas. No, I'm not saying which daughter, since they sometimes read my blog.

And InStyle Stamps has their colour challenge for this month, based on this photo. Those drinks sure look cool and refreshing - just what we need, since the weather turned super hot again.
The {ippity} blog has a list of everyone participation today. Head on over for a full list. Check it out. There are some fantabulous peeps sharing their talent.
