Don't be so serious featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

OOO doggy! We are having a heat wave! LOL! It's supposed to be in the 90's all week. I haven't had to turn the AC on yet, but I do believe that nice little treat has passed, but I sure did enjoy the ride while it was happening! See what I did there? LOL! Our current challenge is "Enjoy the Ride". If you haven't entered yet, you have a few more days! So I sure hope you grab your paper and glue and join in on the fun for a chance to win a free stamp set of your choosing!  

I showed you my creation for the challenge last week, so I have something a little different for you this week. I knew I wanted to use #6074 Pickleball Patty, but I wanted to portray her doing something other than pickle ball. So I stamped her and cut her out, but I also removed the pickle ball racket from her hand. While thinking about what I wanted her to be doing, my bestie Dori said the net from #5926 was a good size for her, and it was perfect!! If you watch the Art Impressions blog, I'm sure you're very aware of Dori and her amazing creations! Her brain is so dang creative. I usually say I'd love to spend a day in her brain to watch how it works, but now I'm too afraid to even think about doing that! HAHA! Anyway, she is truly amazing and talented, and I didn't even hesitate to use her idea she gave me! So I simply cut a piece of Copic friendly paper and stenciled in some clouds and added a die cut of a strip of grass. Those cute butterflies are from #5561 Birds and Bugs set. I hope this inspires you to really look at your stamp collection and try to figure out how you could use them in a different way. 

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

Love you Bunches featuring Art Impressions

Hello AI Fans!

I hope you're having a wonderful start to the new week and that life is treating you well! Our current challenge right now is "Enjoy the Ride"! So you can enter by using anything at all that you can ride in or on. That includes cute wagons like this one! This is another page out of the Floral Shop book I made using the Holiday Lane collection from Art Impressions! I really do love this collection! I stamped the image from #6197 Flower Delivery onto a Copic friendly paper and then colored it with the markers. That watering can on the facing page is from #6177 Garden Friends in the Story Tiles Collection. The book itself along with the mats were die cut using #6114 Box Village Template Dies. You need this set to make the book as well as the box that holds the book. 

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

Seek Wisdom featuring Art Impressions

 Hello AI Fans!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and are getting a nice fresh start to a brand new week and month. Today I have created a small decoration that you can tuck anywhere to hopefully help inspire someone. This was so quick and easy to create! I started off by grabbing #5902 Mini Scalloped Frame. This is such a cute little frame and I love the added touch of the scallops. I learned that if you cut out the oval frame and turn it on it's side, the new Flower Border Sets (#6186 FG Tulip Border and #6187 FG Poppy Border), they fit perfectly. I wanted to add a small inspirational quote to it, so I reached for #6204 Wisdom Set 2. The beautiful paper is from #6205 Floral Shop PP. This also fits right in with the current "Yellow" Challenge that is still going on! I hope you've entered your creations for a chance to win a free prize! 

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