Our Last Hippity Hop of 2010

Welcome to today's Hippity Hop!!
I hope that those of you celebrating the Christmas holiday had a wonderful time with your family and friends!  And I hope that you got everything that you had hoped for from Santa!!
Christmas at my house was special because it was filled with family and friends who helped me remember what this season is all about!  I am so blessed to have such a loving and warm family!!
As Christmas passes, many of us take some time before the New Year to reflect on the year past and to look forward to and set goals for the upcoming year.  And I thought that would be the perfect thing to do here too!

Do you remember some of these great Hippity Hop Themes from 2010?

Here's Eryn's IHHC6 Glitz Challenge

Michelle Woerner challenged us in March to use Chipboard for IHHC16And this is what Eva created for that challenge!

Karen asked us for IHHC23 to incorporate lace in our projects!

Lisa Arana created this beauty for Angie's IHHC48 Fiber Challenge!

And Lisa Henke created this turquoise and yellow treat for Eryn's IHHC33 Challenge

This is one of my all time fave cards that I created. 

 It was for Eva's IHHC43 Challenge to use metal on our cards!

This is one of Maria's creations that I was especially fond of because she made it and sent it for me for my Birthday this year!  It was for IHHC47.

Stephanie was challenged by Lisa for IHHC53  to use the first Ippity Kit she owned.

And last but not least, our wonderful Guest Designer Angie created this beauty for our recent IHHC54 challenge to create an Easel Card.

Can you believe that we are about to close out 2010??
Boy did this year fly by fast!!
But now,  Let's 
RING in the NEW YEAR
2011!!
Today's theme for our Hippity Hop is all about the New Year!!
Just create a project with the theme of ringing in the New Year and be sure to use your Ippity stamps on it!  Then simply upload it to the Ippity Forum on SCSfor a chance to win
10 Random Ippity stamps!
To play along for IHHC56

1. Simply create a New Year's Themed project and include Ippity stamps!

2. Upload your project to your SCS gallery by midnight on Sunday, January 2nd with keyword: IHHC56

3. I will randomly choose a winner next Monday, January 3rd and post it in a thread in the {ippity} forum

H{ippity} Hop Monday

Hey everyone, it's Eva here.  Did you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Weekend? Hope you made lots of fabulous memories and also got some shopping done and now you are ready for a new week.  

Well, today, I am going to offer up a new challenge for the week and it's an inspiration challenge based on  yummy CAKES....how fun is that???  I can be inspired just about anything, and as I was thinking about what to pick for this week's challenges, for some reason cakes popped in my head.  Maybe I was craving them...LOL...don't know, however I went searching for a site that offers a pretty yummy cake gallery and I found this one:

CAKES FOR OCCASIONS

Now, let me just say, I don't know them, never ordered from them, I was only looking at the site for pure inspiration, so don't blame me if you order a cake from them and don't like it, but on the flip side, do share if you loved their cakes...LOL

So, check them out and here is what you have to do to play along

1. Simply create a card or project using the Cakes for Occasion gallery as your inspiration of course using Ippity stamps.

2. Upload your project to your SCS gallery by midnight on Sunday, December 5th, 2010 with keyword: IHHC52

3. I will randomly choose a winner next Monday, December 6th and I will post who the lucky winner is in a thread in the {ippity} forum.

Winner will get a Kissmas and Mistletoe stamp set! (isn't that perfect timing for the Holiday?)

And here is a sneak peek of my card
