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. Sad to see summer go.
But...fortunately there's something VERY exciting to perk me up a bit! Guess what?? Art Impressions will be releasing the Hobby Lobby & Michaels exclusive clear sets on the Ai website on Thursday! Many of us don't have those stores near us so it will be wonderful to have these sets available on the Ai site. That means very soon you'll be able to get all these sets HERE.

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...
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.
