Top 3 of 2014 - Art Impressions!

Hello hello!!!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and just a few days away from New Year!  

Oh my...  I can't believe it's almost 2015!   

I want to share my Top 3 of 2014.  Honestly, it was really hard to just pick 3, but here they are without further adieu...

Card #1

Got to love the Ai BFFs!  And these texting divas using the Texting BFFs (SKU#4408).

Card #2

Another one of my FAV!  These best of Girlfriends using the Wine Tasters set (SKU# 4383).  

Card #3

Can't forget about the guys!

 This is for our Fathers Day Heroes using Weekend Warrior (SKU# 4378).

Well, that's it for me!  See you in 2015 and Happy New Year!

Happy Crafting!

Merry Merry Christmas!

Hello hello my friends...

Merry Merry Christmas!!!  Sending you lots of happiness and hope Santa is good to you!

I know, I know...  I have been EXTREMELY quiet for the past few months...  Yes, work has been quite busy, plus the holidays between Thanksgiving and Christmas...  Yea, yea... excuses, excuses!  

But I finally did a little bit of playing today!

Nothing come in between my craft goodies (stamps, ink sprays, stencils, markers, etc...) and I, hehe!    Just lots of fun!  The finally product of art journal page!  

Viola!!!

Well, off I go again...  I'm off to create again...  maybe another journal page?  or a card?

I'll be back!  Until then, have a very Merry day!

Hugs!

Gorilla!

Hello helloand happy Monday!  

I hope you had a great weekend and ready for another fabulous week!

I'm sharing a card using the Gorilla (SKU# M1182), isn't he adorable?  

I just love him and I decided to color him with some watercolor pencils.  

First, I stamped him with archival black ink on watercolor paper and color away!  

Simple and very relaxing, I finished the card with a few add-ons, Viola!

Have a great day and happy coloring!

Holiday tags...

Hello hello!  

Since the holidays are coming up really soon, I'm sharing a couple of fun simple tags using some of my favorite Eyelet Outlet goodies!

First tag!  I'm a big fan of the sock monkey!  Have you seen the Sock Monkey with Santa hats yet?!  Aren't they just super cute?!  Possibly singing a few holiday songs under the tree?  I also decorate the tree with some jewel strips, and finish the tag with some white pearl strips.

Supplies:

Holiday Sock Monkey Brads

4mm Jewel Strips (yellow, orange, red)

4mm Pearl Strips (white)

Second tag!  It's a winter wonderland in New England.  Brr... 

I had so much fun creating this winter scene with some snowflakes, snowman, trees, and a perfect saying bubble!

Supplies:

Snowflakes brads

Snowman brads

Holiday Trees brads

Saying Bubble Holiday brads

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great crafty day!

Fun, fun, FUN!!!

Hello hello and happy Monday!

Hope all of you had a fabulous weekend and ready for another exciting week!

I'm here to share a couple of cards today. 

First up, I can't get enough of the Incredibowl set, she is just totally awesome!  She is just totally styling with her bowling shirt and her bowling shoes...  FABULOUS!

To match her amazing outfit, I figured it would be fun creating a fun background with some pearlescent Pan Pastel.  First, I placed the stencil on a mixed media cardstock, I pressed the versamark ink pad directly on the stencil, lift the stencil, then apply pan pastel with the sponge tool.  I also sprayed the background with a fixative when done. 

And here is the whole card.

Since I have so much fun.  I made another card using the Reindeer Games set. 

Copic used:

Incredibowl set:  BG10. C0, C1, C3, C5, E000. E00. E11. RV0000, RV55, RV66

Brrr... Feeling Frosty!!!

Hello hello and happy Thursday!

Winter is here in New England...  Just last week, we got our very first Nor'easter of the year.  

We got over 9 inches of snow....  Brrr!!!

So, I stayed behind and make a day of relaxing and crafting!

It's the perfect excuse to create a card for the Feeling Frosty challenge over at Art Impressions. 

I use one of the new adorable snowman, Seasons Greetings set.

To create the 'snow effect'...  Thanks to my dear friend Karen, she introduced these awesome frantáge   from Stampendous which is perfect for the snowman.  

And finish the card up with a sentiment, VIOLA!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!
