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!!

Copic markers used:  E50, E51, E53, R81, R83, R22, R24, R27, B00, B02, B04, Y32, Y35, Y38, E23, E25, and touch of C3.  I used pink chalk for her rosy cheeks.

Art Impressions challenge - Create with Christmas


Hello AI Fans!!

It's week two of Art Impressions current challenge Create with Christmas! Have you joined in yet? If not, maybe we can give you a little inspiration to help you along. Now I must admit, when I saw this challenge, I got a little nervous. I had no idea which way I was going to go with this one. Use a Christmas image on a non Christmas card? hmmmm....so I fretted and I worried. :)  I knew I wanted to use Reindeer Games Set, but didn't know exactly how. And then one day as I was going through my stamps, I saw Doctor Bill and suddenly knew what I wanted to do. But I had to find the right guy.  And along comes Bud! I love how he's facing the doctor, but looking at her out of the corner of his eyes. He fit into the scene perfectly!  I hope you like what I came up with! The sentiment was done on my computer and the word bubble was cut using the Silhouette. Everything else is just stamps and Copic coloring.   




Please be sure and pop over to Art Impressions to check out all the fabulously creative projects the Design Team has to show you, and then we'd love it if you'd grab your Christmas images and play along! Thanks so much for stopping by to see me today and hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!
