Love is all around!!

Hello AI Fans!!

I've got a special project to show you today. :)  This idea has been floating around in my head since I found the Gazebo cutting file in the Silhouette shop. And since next weekend is mine and my hubby's 20th anniversary, I thought it was the perfect time to pull it out and complete it.  For my project, I used one of the Art Impressions stamps from their Spinners line! It's called Love Spinner, and I also used the matching Love Spinner Dies!  As I was building the Gazebo, I simply poked a hole in the floor and attached my string on the base of the gazebo. Then poked a hole in the top and made a hanging loop so he could hang if up if he felt so inclined.  This is probably a little picture heavy, so my apologies in advance, but I really like how this turned out.

 
I used some pretty old papers I've had for a few years from Graphic 45 called Bohemian Bazaar.
 
 

 






So that's it for my project today! I hope you like it and get inspired to do some fun things with your Spinner Stamps! There is no limit to how you could use these! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit today! Wishing you a joyous and crafty weekend!

Art Impressions Challenge - In with the new!

Hello AI Fans!

It's week two of the current challenge going on at Art Impressions Blog, and the challenge is to create a project with one of your newest stamps!  I used the awesome Art Impressions set Live Laugh Love that is available at Hobby Lobby!







I stamped this fun image onto Cryogen White paper and colored it with Copic markers which are listed below.  The papers are Simple Stories Vintage Bliss. Each of the layers are double matted with cardstock, and the card base is white.  I added one of my May Arts silk bows with a button to accent the center and then popped on a couple of sequins and called it a day!

Papertake Weekly - Build it up!!!


Hey everyone!! Hope you're having an awesome start to your week! I'm back home now from our holiday and have pretty much gotten back into the swing of things! It's time for a new challenge at Papertake Weekly, and this week Dawny says "Build it up!!"  No flat cards this week! :)  Let's see those layers and dimension!  We are sponsored by our Mary and Andrea over at The Ribbon Girl! Lots and lots of yummy goodness to choose from, so be sure and play along for a chance to win!

For my card today, I'm featuring a super fun image from Art Impressions, Hog Wild Birthday #4472.  I put her on an action Wobble so she wiggles!  I must say, as much as I love it, I'm really getting rather sick of using this paper. LOL! But I bought WAY too much for the classes I taught at Yosemite,  so I'm trying to use it up. I think it's become a hopeless cause, so I'm thinking I will be putting it away until next summer. :) 






Please be sure and pop over to Papertake Weekly to see all the amazing creations by my teamies, and then we'd really love it if you'd grab your paper, glue, and lots of pop dots to play along with our challenge this week! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and hope to see you again soon!! Hugs!!
