Hey everyone!! It's the last Tuesday of the month, and that means two things...the first is that the challenge at Papertake Weekly is "Take your pick!".  And the second is that we are sponsored by the amazing folks over at Simon Says Stamp!!  For my card today, I made another one of the Peek-a-boo cards! These are so much fun!




 
Please be sure to pop over to Papertake Weekly to check out all the gorgeous creations by the DT and then we'd really love it if you'd grab your paper and glue and play along with us! Thanks so much for stopping by to visit today and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!

Paper Lace was created using Martha Stewart border punch. Stamps are Magnolia Tilda carrying Birthday Cake and Tilda with Wedding Presents. The circle stamp is Lili of the Valley. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Ribbon is May Arts silk. Wish Big Sentiment is Paper Smooches. Twine and button  from Papertrey Inc. Pearls were made with Viva Décor Pearl Pen in dark brown.

Shake it off with Art Impressions!

Hello AI Fans!!
Happy Weekend!! Today I'd like to show you a Birthday card I made using the Chair Spinner and Chair Spinner Dies.  There's a little back story to this card, and what I will say is that the sentiment is from an experience with my friends at our Scrapbook Camp last fall with the song Shake It Off.  :) And to quote Forrest Gump..."that's all I have to say about that". LOL!  I have been wanting to make this card since I received this spinner.  :)

 

I made an easel card this time. Only the bottom half of the frame is actually adhered to the card base. So when you fold the easel card up, the frame pops up into the air allowing your spinner to spin freely.




So that's it for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit and until next time,  stay crafty!!
