Fabulous by Judith

Hello Ai Fans!

I thought some of you might appreciate a little sunshine today!

For my card I have used Selma in her gorgeous striped bathing suit - she also comes in a set with Gladys and the sentiments are so funny. I love mixing and matching my Ai images and sentiments for more versatility, so I used the 'Fabulous' sentiment on this card.

Have a fabulous day :)

Hot Java Mamas by Cheryl Valadez!

Hello Ai Fans!

Are you like me and need a high octane beverage to get you going in the morning? Then this is the image for you or maybe someone you know. Actually, these ladies are so chipper and having such a grand ol' time that this must be more of an afternoon coffee get together, 'cuz I am not nearly this happy in the early morning hours ;)

I used the lovely ladies from the Girlfriend Blends set (#4132) available along with a wonderful assortment of images in the Ai Shop. Please swing by and have a gander.

Dancing Birdie & Scratch by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!

I have a fun Bird Brains card to share with you today, using Birdie & Scratch (Sku#U1831). This has always been my favourite Bird Brain image... the grin on Scratch's face cracks me up! I always like to use papers with a bit of a country/barnyard feel to them with the Bird Brains, so that's what I've pulled out:

And for the inside, I used Strut your Stuff (Sku#F1861):

There is still time to play along with our "Let's Get Krafty" challenge, we want to see you use Kraft paper on your project, like I have with my card today. You can find the current challenge here!

Happy stamping everyone!

Hello Nurse Norma by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!

Today I'm sharing a card featuring Nurse Norma (SKU#L4087) and since it's always tough on Mondays, I paired her with a perfect sentiment On Schedule (SKU# G4817).

I think I will join Nurse Norma on her perfect schedule, haha! So, what's your schedule today?
