Caroling Tots and Girlfriends At the Movies DVD gifts by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Have you been trying to think of a fun, cute gift that someone will get a lot of use out of?

I think I have the answer for you!

Today I'm sharing two DVD gifts with personalized covers to thrill the recipient of your gift!

As you all MUST know the big movie of the year was Frozen.  What child (or young at heart person) wouldn't love this movie?  I made a DVD "cover" instead of wrapping it or just throwing it in a gift bag.

My cover uses the ever adorable Tiny Tots! Caroling Tots (Sku#T3607)

The little snowflakes are also from Ai and are called  Tiny Snowflakes (Sku#H836)

I wanted to carry the Frozen theme throughout so I printed the verse from my laptop.

I created a little pocket on the back to add some sweet treats.

Here's a close up of the cute little tots.

Now...we can't let the kids have all the fun!

You must have some grown ups on your list as well.  I chose one of my favorites... Mama Mia.  My friend and I just LOVE to sing along to this movie.  (so do our 14 yr. old BFF daughters but this is grown up time!)

I used the Girlfriends At the Movies Set (Sku#4237) to decorate this cover.

I had the perfect paper pad to compliment this set.  It's the DCWV Performance stack and it's full of music and movie themed papers.

I made a fun little rosette to attach to the front.  I just thought it went well.  I also love stars and thought with the movie theme that stars would be perfect.  And of course they have to sparkle!

This is the back of it.

I popped up the girlfriends so that I could create a little pocket to put a movie gift card in.
It's a two-in-one gift!

Hugs

Hi AI Fans

I hope you had a greate New year. I made a card with this lovely cat  Feline Flop (M4186)

and  the "HUGS" text comes from Valentine Bear Set (4218) 

 I´ll try to describe how to make grass under someone who is lying in the grass.

It becomes a series of images.

Color the stamp first, when you started with the grass, you can not go back and touch up any.

Paint where you whant have the shadows under the subject, and color the ground below.

I have´t paint the ground on this because I want you to se the gras.

Start with pen / brush at the grass root and paint / draw upward. 

Grass usually grows in tufts, unless you have a perfect lawn: O).

Draw grass that goes up on the subject

Varying shades of green, until you're satisfied, then cut out your stamp.

Good luck!

Snowflakes are made with Cuttlebug snowflake #2 and the "snow" is made with Flower Soft Polar white.

Here in Finland first snow fell down on the ground few days ago.
