Get Well Soon !!!


Hello Ai Fans !!
I am still in the Get Well card mode  , it seems that this year lots of flu bugs are going around. Today I am using The Patient sku # K-1237 and sentiment Get well soon sku # E1471. When I was creating this card my YA YA sister Linda called me and I told her what I was working on and she gave me an idea for the inside of  this card . I hope you like the  humor I put inside, as I think laughter is the best medicine .
I kept this card clean and simple for a masculine feel
Get Well 002
now for the inside .. the front says Get well soon  , inside it says.. So we can hang out !!!

Get Well 003
I hope you are laughing at this as much as I am , I hand stamped my own sentiment inside with a small alpha set I had in my stash


Thanks for stopping by for a good laugh and now you will stay healthy ...
 Come back tomorrow for our Thursday challenge !!!

Tina

Hello Ai Fans!
I'm working on more Valentine's Day cards! :o)


This card features the Tina Set (Sku#4215).   Isn't she great?! I dig her expression - it says 'joy' to me.  This is a quick, fun card that has a lot of personality.  I colored her with markers. 


I added some bling to her shoes,  lips and earrings with glitter pens.  I outlined her balloon with a black mulitliner to really make it pop. This is also a good way to hide any coloring over the line. :o)


On the inside, I added the sentiment from the set and a strip of design paper.  



Please stop by tomorrow to see what Crystal has for you!

 Thanks for visiting!

Take care and STAY POSITIVE!

A fun day with JEAN!

Hello Ai friends, how are you?  Today, I made a few tags featuring Jean today, she is totally awesome! Not only she is super cool and she sure knows how to have fun, haha!

For all three tags, I created a super cool background with Dylusions ink sprays, I also used the Heart Background (SKU# H818) to add some interest on the tags, then I distressed the edges with distress ink pads.  And for Jean, I colored each of them with watercolors pencils.



Bingo Jean (SKU#3511)


Slot Jean (SKU#3510) and sentiment is from Girlfriends shoppers (SKU#3569)



And here are all 3 tags together, hope you like it!
