Laughter is the Best Medicine!

Good Morning Ai Fans!

I just love a good laugh! It just makes you feel wonderful and it's so contagious! I've had many a great laugh over the years with my girlfriends! I just love this stamp set that is part of the Girlfriend series from Art Impressions called "Laughing set" (sku#4385). This stamp set has great value as it comes with the image and 3 different sentiment stamps! 


I added some fun elements to their clothes by making one of the tops polka dotted and one pair of pants into  a cheetah print. Wink of Stella is my new best friend, so of course I used the clear glitter pen on the blue pants and shoes.


Copics used: 
E00, E02, E8, E11, E18, E19, E50, R20, R24, R27, R29, R81, R83, R85
B32, B34, B37, RV17, Y21, Y26, Y28, C2, C3, C5. C7

It's been said that "Laughter is the best medicine"! I know when I have a good laugh it sure makes me feel great and puts that spring back in my step! Art Impression has so many stamps that will make you laugh, so don't forget to check out their online store and get ready to laugh!

Happy Stamping!

Happy Wedding by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a wedding card with you.  Yesterday my husband's nephew got married!  I wanted to do something a little bit fun but still slightly elegant.  I thought this image was perfect.
