Hi Friend! from Art Impressions

 Hello Ai fans!

I love mushrooms and instantly thought of the Mushroom Cubbies set for the Art Impressions "When One Door Closes" challenge.

I grabbed mushrooms and other elements from a few different Ai sets to complete both the front and inside of my card.

I know most people think of brown when they think of mushrooms but they come in MANY different colors and I love trying out different combinations. In my woods we have orange, white, black, red, yellow, and purple. Probably more if I looked hard enough. We've picked and eaten the Chanterelles and Black Trumpet mushrooms.

 I wanted to make this card extra special so I decorated
the inside of the card pretty elaborately too.

I'm kind of wishing now that I had a little fairy tucked in there somewhere too.
Next time, I guess...

Gnome Window Scene from Art Impressions

 Happy Thursday everyone!

Be sure to check back later today for the winners of the Give Us a Fright challenge and to see what the new challenge is!

Until then,  you can take a look at my most recent gnome card.

These little guys are just so cute!

Since all of these sets are the perfect size for this window die I thought it would be cute to create a bit of a different type of window scene.

Fall is for Fairy Houses from Art Impressions!

Happy Sunday everyone!
Do you love these new Fairy Houses as much as I do?

I created two cards to share with you today.

Both of these little houses nest perfectly into the new leaf frame die.

For the first card I used the white leaves from the first frame I cut and colored them with Copic markers.  For the mushroom house I cut the leaf inserts from colored paper.  I couldn't tell the difference between the two so moving forward, if I've cut the frame in white, I'll use the little pieces that are scraps and just color them.  That will save on colored cardstock.

I love that the new frame creates a frame yet also has some stand alone dies that you can cut.

There's a complete list of supplies and links below if you'd like to give something like this a try.  These are perfect for any time of year.
