It's 5 O'Clock somewhere!

Hello Ai fans!  

This is such a sad time of year for me...summer's winding down...school's about to start again.  That means it's back to work and less crafting time.

I'm going out with a very summery card though.  My friend requested a Margaritaville themed 60th birthday card for a friend. I wound up making two versions.  One for her and one for a retirement card I needed.

For my first card, on the front I used...

SC0651 Ai His & Hers Campers

Doesn't he look like he's enjoying life?!

Now that's my kind of clock!  I printed the clock, parrots and Margaritaville on my computer.

On the inside I used...

4241 – Bummer Set

When you're in Margaritaville you need, well, a margarita of course.  I printed one out and stuck it in his hand.  I think he's happier this way.

For my second card I did something very similar but with a different theme.  This one's a retirement card.  I used the same image from the Campers set but I added some of the verses from the set as well.

He looks like a very happy camper to me.

Home is where you park it!  I see he's parked it under a palm tree.  Good move.

I Brake for Birthday Fishes!

Hello and happy Saturday!

The best day of the week!

Today I'm sharing the birthday card I made for my niece.

I'm not sure why it took my so long to order this adorable set??

I say "set" because I cut the worm apart from the fish so I could put him where I want to.  (maybe sometimes even on the inside of the card)

The image is called LUNCHEON MEAT.

I wanted to make the card extra fun for Riley so I created a shaker to mimic the bubbles and colors of the ocean.

On the inside I used BUBBLES.

The waves are the flip side (negative) of the waves I die cut for the front of the card.

Here's a photo of the shaker all shaken up.

I can't wait to give this to her.

Hello Ai fans!

It may be Fall outside but a girl can dream.  With Art Impressions Tan It Set from the SHAKERS line it can be summer all year long!  

There are so many new Shakers including lots for the upcoming Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.  If you're not familiar with the Shaker stamps listen up!  They're interactive.  In this case you attach her little tushie to her using a WOBBLE and it shakes.

The beach lady comes with a verse too!

This is a second version that I made with her.
