Ippity Boppity Boo...

Couldn't help it. It was just too tempting not to say...

Welcome to this week's Ippity Blog Hop. After you're done, go HERE to the front of the line and check out all the other participants and leave a comment trail for a chance to win some Ippity rubber. And remember, you can only purchase these stamps from Ippity gals. So, click on the sidebar of the Ippity blog to find one near you!

A cousin of mine just moved from one apartment to another in NYC and I wanted to make her a card that commemorated that. I used Gurnsey Gingham to make the apartment buildings, Love in Return for the banner and Simply Home for the sentiment. The My Mind's Eye car paper was perfect for this tri-shutter card. I just had to include close-ups here of the cars in each panel. See, I wanted to show that she and her hubby packed boxes into their car, tied the trunk shut and then unpacked in front of another building.





Hope this made you smile on this dreary day. Outside my window, the fog and bare trees make me feel like I'm in Forks, Washington. Move over Bella, I'm watching for signs of Edward Cullen....
