Creating is Fun/{Ippity}Blog Hop

Monday, Monday!  What can make a Monday better?  A combined blog hop with Maria Levine's {ippity} design team and Martha Pineda's Creating is Fun design team.  Maria is an endorsed {ippity} chick and Martha owns a store called Creating is Fun which sells ribbon trims and buttons.  How fun!  I've got the blog hop list below, but you should start at Martha's Creating is Fun blog and follow along.  If you are hopping with us, you should have arrived here from Bonnie's blog.

So here's what I came up with.  I used this adorable stamp set from {ippity} called Wise Guy.  I started with the paper from DCWV called The Crafty Stack.  I colored him with copic markers.  Then I used this pretty lacy ecru ribbon from Creating is Fun and strung some grosgrain ribbon through it.

I decorated the inside using the owl stamped in Sahara Sand and this sentiment from the set (one of two).  Wouldn't this be great to give to your special guy?

I used this week's sketch Pretty Patterns sketch from My Time Made Easy.

Below is the entire hop list.  Make sure you comment on all the blogs to get yourself entered in a great contest!  The winner will get an {ippity} prize from Maria Levine and a $25 gift certificate to Creating is Fun.  If you see any of the {ippity} images you like, go the this link, choose Maria Levine as your {ippity} chick, and order!
