Fresh Idea Friday With Maria

Happy Friday!!

I'm so excited that this week is drawing to a close. The weather has been BEAUTIFUL here in Colorado and the kids have a three day weekend, I can't wait to get some fresh air after being cooped up this winter. Days like today make me crave spring, hopefully the snow stays gone :)

I decided to do a scrapbook layout for today's post. I used some of the NEW papers from the Winter release and WOW are they amazing!!

Here are a few detail shots:

The polka dots on the small flower are from Love In Return. I used three of the Blossom nestabilities to create the flower. The largest is a coffee cozy from Starbucks :) The scallop stamp is from Sweet Thoughts Of Spring.

I still haven't journaled on this layout (it's always the hardest part of scrapbooking for me) but I went ahead and stamped
the journal box from Love in Return so that it's ready when I am.I used the polka dots from Love in Return again, this time to create a subtle background for my title. The letter stamps are from the super fun set Alphabettically Adorable.

I LOVE mixing and matching all the {ippity} sets! These stamps are so versatile and one of the best things things about {ippity} is that they ALL work together....I LOVE that :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. The H{ippity} Hop sign up is posted today on the SCS forum and we would love to have you join in on Monday! If you don't have {ippity} yet, {CLICK HERE} to find an {ippity} chick to purchase from.

scrapping & stamping CAN BE simple!

Happy Friday to you all...don't you just LOVE Friday's?

It most definitely has to be one of the BEST days of the week!!

Every Friday on the ippity blog...

the ippity DT will be showcasing something FRESH & NEW...

"Fresh Idea Friday!"

I first have to ask {this is Eryn posting by the way}... :)

Did you get a chance to stop by yesterday? Eva posted a SUPER CUTE gift idea...keep scrolling down to see her "That's how you do it" Thursday post!

For today I created a new scrapbooking layout. I wanted to keep it very clean & simple BUT...I do have to admit that it was hard to keep myself from adding in extra embellishments! :)

I used the Snippity of Ippity stamp kit...

The cute little boy featured is my little nephew Cayden...

we had such a great time this day playing on the playground!

{currently my journaling of this day is on the back...I am not sure yet,

but I may add another page to this layout and include it on that page instead}

I used the outline stamp {as you can see...haha!}.

I stamped it 8 different times on different colored patterned papers and cut each out.

How EASY is that!?!?

I also added in the quote stamp from the Kit Life's Little Moments.

To give my layout some dimension & pop the pictures out just a bit...

the half circle is actually a piece of chipboard that I cut down to fit my layout.

As you can see...scrapping & stamping CAN BE simple!

gotta LOVE that, right?

and.....last, but not least...

I'll end my post today with my favorite quote...

Thanks for stopping by!

ENJOY your day!
