Black and White Story

Happy H{ippity} Monday to you all! If you didn't start at the beginning of the hop, make sure to go to the {ippity} blog to find the list of everyone participating today!

I made some twill bookmarks recently and wanted to try the Corner Bookmark tutorial from Beate over at SCS. In case you're interested, click on this "CORNER BOOKMARK" and you will find the tutorial for this one.

Here's a close-up:

I used A BIT OF BURLAP for the background; LOVE IN RETURN for the 'The End' sentiment; SIMPLY HOME for the 'live, love, laugh' sentiment; JUST WANTED TO SAY for the frame; and LIFE'S LITTLE MOMENTS for the 'Here's the Story' title...and isn't it great that you could mix and match all of these {ippity} sets!

I have at least one of each of these in my inventory today, if you NEED one of these sets! *wink*

I made it black and white to go with the current Really Reason Ribbon challenge #5 >> to use black and white, and ribbon, of course!  I love this black and white grosgrain ribbon from RRR too!

See how this bookmark fits perfectly on the corner of my book? In case, you're wondering, I love all things about WWII, so this book happens to be Tom Brokaw's 'An Album of Memories' (love these stories!):

Not sure if you can tell, but I embossed all the white on this bookmark so it could stand out. Also the bottom edge is Tim Holtz Alterations 'On the Edge' die, and used bling from Heidi Swapp.

Enjoy your {ippity} travels today, and THANK YOU for coming by!

{ippity} Money Holder and Easel Card

{ippity} time is here! I bet you've already seen some fantastic {ippity} inspiration on this hop!

From Unity and {ippity} Projects

I made this money envelope for the {ippity} challenge IHHC19, using the {ippity} Regal Greetings set. Used my new Tim Holtz die which created the awesome front flap. It's monochromatic, and has an organdy ribbon belly band to hold the envelope closed, yet is so easy to slip off. I didn't seal the sides, but rather placed organdy ribbon inside the top corners to give the envelope just enough room to see money inside.
Here's the inside view:

10 things...

Happy H{ippity} Hop Monday to you and welcome to the world of {ippity}!  I took Eryn's IHHC18 challenge and made a tri-fold card for the first time.  I knew I wanted to use Kiwi Kiss as my base c/s and as I was browsing through my {ippity} sets, I spied my 'Love in Return' set.  I love that you could use this set for any kind of project, and all of a sudden I thought "it's about time to give my son some kind words"!  At school today, his AIMS testing starts and I'm putting this card in his backpack as a little surprise and (hopefully) a boost of confidence to put a smile on his face.

I used two {ippity} stamp sets and matched them up with papers from My Minds Eye (these owls are toooo cute) and SU (I so love Kiwi Kiss!).  I also have Kiwi Kiss Corduroy buttons, so I had to use them with a little circle flower that I made to cup the button.

I inserted a photo of him and also one of him with his favorite little cousin blowing bubbles (his cousin just adores him).  I know that photo will bring a smile to his face.
