I Brake For A Happy New Year!

 Hello and happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing a card using New Years Collage Quarter Sheet.

Even though Christmas is over by New Year's Eve I thought this would be pretty colored in red and green.

 

In the corner I used a little Wild Orchid paper flower. ( Deep Ivory Cherry Blossom 10pk.)

As usual this has been a very busy holiday season but it's also been very enjoyable.  I hope you all have a very happy New Year!

It's Ugly Sweater Time!! (Art Impressions)

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a really fun image with you.  This Art Impressions set is called Ugly Sweater Set (Sku#4350).

My school had an Ugly Sweater Day last Christmas and it was so much fun!  It's a great way to get in the spirit!

This is my first time trying my hand at coloring a person of color.  I think it turned out pretty good but I know I've got a long way to go.  I don't know...she looks pretty happy to me!

Shaker displays and shake those Tic Tacs!!

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm so happy to be sharing some new Christmas sets from Art Impressions with you!

The first set I used is called Christmas Cheer Set (Sku#4666).

Over at Art Impressions there's a fun challenge going on...

I made a fun shaker card perfect for any adult or child!  My first step was to cut the pieces for the Easel to hold it up and the front frame and background. Square Easel Die (Sku#4699)

Next I added the acetate to hold in my "shake" items.  I glued and taped it to be sure nothing snuck out. 

I added a triple layer of Scotch foam tape.  I need to make sure there was enough room between the acetate and background that all the little shake items could move around.

Then I added the beads and removed the tape backing.

I affixed the background paper and had this...ready to add my adorable Art Impressions image and sentiment. 

Look at those beautiful beads, sequins and baubles.

I colored the penguin and added foam dimensional tape to pop him up.

Here's the easel die that will support my sweet little Christmas scene.

Look at all those fun baubles that the CUTE, CUTE penguin has behind him.

I recently discovered the Marvy markers at Ai.  I'm loving them for adding detail to my copic coloring.

I....LOVE....SPARKLE!

The other set I use was Holly Jolly Set (Sku#4667).

I saw something similar to this on Pinterest.  They took the snowman's tummy out to show the Tic Tacs.  What a cute little gift, right?

Twinkle in a tangle!

Hello Ai fans!!

Today I'm sharing a Christmas card with one of the new releases over at Art Impressions!  This sweet new set is called Twinkle in a Tangle (Sku#4665). 

I think it's so sweet that they're still so in love!

Even though I did use traditional red and green I gave this card a more country feel.

 I can't wait to try them in some different colors!  This is such a cute set!
