Very cute pojects girls. I will put the i-top in my "to-buy" list. It seems fab.
All the projects were cute but I love the hair pins...you have to love a card that has a little additional gift to it!
TFS the inspiring projects! :)
I like the mini blog hop idea! So many great ideas on all 3 blogs! I like the 3 little frogs at the top of this page too!
Gee so many ideas! From sweet spots, to adorable accessories, to jumbo embellishments, lots of inspiration. I'd love to win an iTop!

Loved this mini Hop!! Great job to all the ladies! So thinking out of the box, works well with this tool. Brads are not only used as embellishments but as actual elements to make a certain focal item or character on your card or Layout! I love it!! I want it!!! Thank you so much for putting this together!

As usual, your DT members always have such cute ideas for your products and tools. All 3 cards were just way to cute.
Thanks for the mini hop. Thanks for the inspiration all the projects were adorable.
What darling projects! Now I really want an I-top! Thanks for the idea (the ladybug was adorable).
What super-cute creations by the DT girls! For some reason, I thought that the i-top made brads. I didn't think that it was a tool that I would really use. Thanks, Imaginisce, for convincing me otherwise! :) I love that you can make 3D embellies like Kim's balloons. I think that this would be a perfect way to add some unique embellies to my cards.
First of all the i-top looks like something every crafter needs in her crafty tool box! I just loved what all the DT'S did! The pop off for hair accessories, different size tops this is a tool that has endless possibilities! And adds a lot of dimension to your card or LO:)

Very cute ideas!! Love the ladybug, the detachable snaps, and the ribbon cascading from the big brad! Really, really great ideas!! :)
Love how different all the ideas were! My fave was the hair accessories! Now I just need an Itop and ill be all set!! :) thanks for the giveaway
Loved the mini hop and all the great ideas for using the i-top!
Great ideas ladies!!
Thanks for the hop! Such cute projects. I love how many different sizes can be created with the i-top!
What a great way to customize ANY project!
AWESOME IDEAS, as usual!! LOVE that Kim made her card "useable"! I would SOOO LOVE me an i-top! I am a follower of all the blogs. Thanks for the chance and have a GREAT Day,
Me-Ma Kim
I'm always amazed at the creative ideas from the design team.
What a great little hop! My fav was definitely Courtney's ladybug spots...TOO cute!! I would love to have an i-top of my own to try out all of these cute ideas. From what I've seen, there are tons of uses for it! ;)

Cute ideas on your mini bloghop. Loved the hair clips!
Loved all three ideas! Very original and very cute! I *wish* I had and I-top ;-)
Great ideas for cards and love how each blogger gave such good tips on how they made their card. I got an I-rock for my birthday and the I-top would be a wonderful addition to my scrap room!
I really enjoyed seeing all 3 of the 3-D ideas for cards. I love embellishments and the i-top is a verstile way to add dimension.
Love all the projects and I sure would LOVE to add this tool to my collection as it is so versitle and can be used for so many things!!!
I discovered that my i-top is going to waste sitting in a drawer doing nothing!!! I really appreciate Imaginisce focusing a whole week on this amazing tool to inspire me to use it more. Thanks for the great card ideas hop today!
I don't own an i-top, but now know why I need to!!
3 great designers, many many more fabulous ideas! Love how each used the i-top in a little different way...such cute spots on the ladybug, and I loved the birthday card with the i-tops that can be re-purposed! Liz's card is so cute, love that line! This is a must-have tool!
Your designers did an incredible job! I can't get over the wonderful-ness of the hair clip idea! Keep the ideas coming! I can't wait for the rest of the week to see what you are all going to be doing!! Thank you!
Those projects were sooo cute!! I haven't seen the hair accessories in the stores!! TFS!! Take Care!!
Jennie @ http://earthyscrap.blogspot.com/
I loved all the projects, so much so that I am now following all three blogs! (I already follow this one.) Thanks for the neat ideas... now I have another tool on the "must have" list!

The projects were all fabulous, from the birthday hat to the cute bug card and I just loved the hair rins. So cute. pammejo1@yahoo.com
Would love to have a chance to win an I Top
The DT did a great job with the iTop. I really like the snap daddies with the hairclip idea.
Great projects from all three! Love them all. TFS!
Great designs by all 3 ladies. Learned that you can do more than cards - hair clips were so cute.
Fabulous ideas by all three DT members! I will be borrowing all of them! Definitely learned to try and be more creative...love the clips idea, just can't wait t find those at my LSS. Looking forward to tomorrow.
Great projects ladies!! I never realized the many things you can do with the i-top, thanks for the ideas.
I love all of the birthday cards the team created with their i-top!!! All of the ideas were so fun and cute. I'm feeling inspired to pull out my i-top too.....
That was fun! Great cards by all! Quick and easy. Can't wait til tomorrow.
esigmon@cox.net

TFS and thanks for the the chance 2 win
I hopped too! Super clever ideas girls! Loved them all!
The projects are FABULOUS!!!! Makes me want an iTop even more!! Thanks for sharing and Thanks for the chance to win!
I love how 3-D the ITop makes everything. The ladybug was my favorite today!
Thanks so much for the fabulous inspiration! I certainly learned how versatile the I-Top can be! From incorporating those gorgeous topped brads into the images themselves to using them to make a gift like the clips! So creative and fun. :)
What a great hop. I learned fun ways to incorporate the i-Top accessories into a card, etc...
Oh, the i-top... many possibilities!! Those girls are very clever! Loved all three projects!! My favorite is probably the idea of being able to use them for hairclips afterwards!
Thanks for a great mini hop today!

Love all the projects! I NEED an Itop!!!
Loved the mini hop! Kim's hair clip idea was awesome, as was Cort's super cute ladybug and Liz's party hat. Thanks for all the inspiration!
The mini hop was perfect. I loved all the projects and was amazed at what you can do with an Itop. My favorite was Cort's ladybug. Love how she used the Itop to make ladybug spots. Super cute!!
Love the mini hop!!! These were such fun Itop projects and this tool is at top of my wishlist! Can't wait to see what's next :O)
Love the hop! Great ideas from all of the ladies. Loved the hair clip on a card idea the best. My daughter and neices would love to receive a card like that. Thanks for a chance to win and will be haunting all week. ;0)

Love the mini hop! So much more manageable! I love how they used the iTop brads as integrated into the design to give them 3d effects! Thanks for the inspiration!
Super excited! I saw the I-top being used for the first time the other day, and I cant wait to find out more about it!

Love the sneak peaks! Those brads are so cool.
I have to say that although all three projects were fantastic, Kim's idea of using the snaps for the card, that transfer to the hair clips... Was pretty genius!!! Nice work ladies!
Thank you for the cute card ideas. if I had an i-top I would recreate some for special people in my life (my granddaughter for 1).
Super cute stuff! These ladies are so talented!

I have finished the mini hop and think that all three projects were used by thinking outside the box...which is something that I would love to do. Thank you for the ideas and inspiration.
Loved all the projects and the different ways they used the itop. Plus I have 3 great new ideas for birthday cards!
Here's my final comment letting you know what I discovered about the projects and the i-top.
I learned that the i-top is very versatile, if you just use your imagination, you could use it all the time for cards and projects! I love the fact that after you make the snaps, you can put different ends on them such as bobby pins, headbands, such cute rings and other things.
Thanks for sharing this with us!

Wow what a fabulous prize and now to hop on to see the projects. I love how you spotlight important parts.
Everyone had great cards. I love how versatile the I-top is: from ladybug spots, to birthday embellishments/hair clips, to a party hat topper. Everything was super cute!
love that tool. You can make your brads to fit any page. love it love it love it
Loved all three cards and ideas!
All the projects were sooo cute! I loved the idea of using the snap brads on the card then to put them on the hair clips...so fun!! I didn't realize there were so many accessories for the I-Top. This is a MUST HAVE tool in my book!! Thanks for the mini hop, I really really enjoyed it!!

What a great hop and great ideas! Thanks to all the designers for the inspiration! :-)
I love the idea of seeing all the things you can do with one of these little tools! I am not familiar and am just hearing of it (no, don't live under a rock! LOL)
Great Mini Hop..
Just the perfect tool so universal.
I love that it's basically so limitless with the possibilities..
Thanks for the inspiration
What a great way to spend a lunch break! I would have never thought there could be so many uses for a BIG, BIG brad! I won't be so intimidated to use them on my cards now! What a great tool it would be to have!
I could imagine a full blown hop hop hop that is so cool that tool.... I have to put on my list this is the year of the tool for me and I love that you match it with your paper. Very endless possibilities.Thanks for the inspiration will follow the week.
Very nice with the mini-frog-hop :O)
And I really learned a lot about this tool...which has now come to my wish list :o)
Thanks for sharing ! :o)

Loved the mini-hop! I'm off to play in my craft room now that the kiddos are back in school!!! Thanks for the chance to win!
That was a great hop with such cute cards!! I learned that the i-top can be used to make super FUN projects!!
Love all those cards, such creative ideas!!!
I loved learning how the i-Top can be incorporated into cards and especially loved how Kim converted hers to hair clips to make a duo-purpose gift.
I will have to check this out!!

great mini hop, thanks for the ideas!
Wow, does the i-Top ever add a lot of dimension to a project. I especially love the polka dots on the ladybug and using them for hair clips which I've been making with flowers and such lately.
I own an I-Top but it is still in the packaging. I was never sure how to use it and just a bit intmidated too. These were fabulous examples. They really added dimension to the projects. Plus using it from the card to a hair clip was a fabulous idea.
thanks!
I loved that the design team gave such good ideas. It was very clever to see that you could remove the brads and clip them on hair clips. This was a nice mini hop! TFS Susan shanna13@frontiernet.net
All cute projects. I like Liz's birthday card the best.
what a fun hop! What I discovered? So much! love the hairclip idea and the party hat! so fun! And the ladybug spots? so cute!!
Did all 3 ...love the hair clip idea and the swiss dot polka dots on the lady bug..and a great idea for holding curling ribbon.
Awesome ideas from all three. I am just getting into crafting. More and more stuff keeps getting added to my "must have" list. Good thing I get to sub the next 5 of 6 days. Winning things would most definitely help my pocket book. :)

My bff received this for her birthday, but she lives 78 miles away so I really think I need my own!
I learned that I could put a decorated/covered brad on a snap and then a little girl could use it on a hairclip too! I really love that idea!
what a great must have tool. i love the idea of matching brads to coordinate! thanks for the chance to win :) Lucy iluvlu2003@yahoo.com

Wow, Imaginisce definitely has a talented DT!
And, that ladybug was just darling
I learned that the Itop is a very versatile tool. I would definetly get alot of use with a tool like this. My grand daughter alone would have different items for her hair every day. I scrapbook and I make cards and this would help with giving some dimention to my pages. Im sure there are other things I could think of to use this for, This tool has gone to the top of my wish list. Dawn RI

Terrific hop! I really enjoy the ideas such as using brads for hair pins and as decoration on a card. Great tip too about using the punch to exactly center the design to fit the brad. You just can't go wrong using a fun brad made in the itop to make a card! Cute!!!
Great hop, I love those little hops. Excellent projects and some really creative ideas, thanks!
Loved those cards! I really really want an i-top!
Great projects!
