Hip Hop!!!!!!

What's up peeps! I'm excited for a HIP HOPPin' Blog HOP! Of course, it's Thursday night for me, so I can't blurf till Friday, but it's cool, I'm used to it;)
First things first, I wanna shout out to Anne-Marie (muffyvan on SCS), Unity's October Guest Designer! Her work is FABULOUS and you really need to check out her blog! Looking forward to working with you this month Anne-Marie!
If this is your first Blog Hop or if you're just stoppin by my blog, head on over to the Unity Blog for the beginning of the Blog Hop! Work your way through the entire DT blogs and you'll find some BLOG CANDY!

I have three cards to share today! Two of them use the September KOM which is no longer available (sorry folks!) and then a third using the October KOM! The October kit is SOOO fun! Anyways, here are my cards:

This is one of the September KOM cards. The card base is Pink Pirouette and the darker pink is by Prism. I colored the trees in with Copics! The dp is by Sassafrass and the ribbon is by PTI.

My second card:

I LOVE this card! I made that big butterfly a few WEEKS ago and just havent' figured out what to do with it! Well, when I saw the color challenge at Splitcoast this week, I got an idea! I had already stamped my Tea Time Toile in Baja Breeze on this piece of Baja Breeze cs and then traced a chipboard butterfly over it and cut it out. But I wanted to add some shimmer, so using my SAJ I stamped the background stamp again, applied some Heat and Stick powder and then poured Dazzling Diamonds on it! It's really sparkly and girly, and I LOVE IT:) The sentiment is from the September KOM. I also stamped the Tea Time Toile background stamp on the Baja background.
Okay, my third and final card! I used the stamps from the new October KOM!

I got the color combo for this card from Kristina's Color Challenge! The colors are Kiwi Kiss, Pumpkin Pie, Choc Chip, and Vanilla! I LOVE fall colors, so this was right up my alley!
I stamped my Harlequin background in KK on the KK base. After adding all the squares of color I pierced a buncha holes, I love that look:)
I colored in the cutie pie owls with Copics and went over their bellies with Gold Ice Stickles. For a little finishing, I tied some Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie ribbon around the card and added the Pumpkin photo corner (blinged out, of course!)
Make sure you check out the Unity Blog for a ton of sweet specials, only available today!!!
Your next stop is the amazing Christi Snow! She is so talented and I just love her style! She's one of my first cyber-scrappin buddies from a couple years ago and I'm so glad we still "hang out" LOL! Enjoy the rest of your blog hop peeps, see you on the FORUMS for the pARtAy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HIP HOP!
