It's Just Another {IPPITY} Monday

It's just another {Ippity} Monday....doesn't that sound so much better than Manic Monday?? I am really starting to like Mondays now, of course its probably only because I get to spend it with such lovey, talented friends, like YOU!
I'll be honest, I had a hard time making a card this week. I had all sorts of ideas running through my head, and I even ended up throwing my first card away- after showing it to hubby, and he just went, "Oh, thats uhhhhh, cute??" Hahaha- CUTE?? No, it was not cute. Into the garbage it went. So, I decided to go CAS (clean and simple) again this week. It works for me.
I was so happy to be able to use the Ippity kit- Life's Little Moments on this card. I originally thought I would just use this kit on my scrapbooking pages- but its so versatile, you can pretty much use it on any project. YAY!!
I used Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch #51, which inspired my card layout. You have to check out the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenges, they are so much fun to play along with!!
Supplies: Stamps: Ippity- Life's Little Moments. Papers: SU: Kraft, Naturals Ivory and Sassafrass- Sunshine Lollipops DSP. Ink: Vivid-Brick. Accessories: Checked Ribbon- Michaels, Flower- Prima, Dew Drops- Robins Nest, and Button- Foof-a-la.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Don't forget to check out all the other talented ladies, who are showcasing some awesome Ippity inspiration for you today.
AND, I will be back later to post the winner of the SMC Image- Jayden, Free Hearts, used in Friday's post, below. There's still time to leave a comment. Hooray!

Jess, this card is fabulous, and I'm sure the other one was too! Next time don't throw away your card...put it aside, and pick it up another day and whatever comes to mind to change it...do it! Maybe hubby should take you out to a nice dinner now...*smile*

I feel the frustration when things just don't come together as envisioned..I've thrown away my share of cards that just didn't seem right, but you sure rebounded quickly, this card is awesome!
