Wine Diva! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans! 

Today I'm sharing a set that I just got at my local Michael's craft store.  It's one of the Hampton Art clear stamp sets that Art Impressions is now offering.

This set is called Wine Diva sku# SC0677 and it's a set of 8 stamps.

You get 2 images and 6 sentiments.

I made a little gift set using an old take out container.  My friends and I are all wine drinkers so this makes a cute little gift to take to a lunch or as a hostess thank you.  It's a cute birthday gift too.

Don't you just love that fun little verse...Wine a little, you'll feel better!

I know I always do!

The other verse...You had me at Merlot comes from the Ai Girlfriends Wine Tasters Set (Sku#4383).  You can also buy it as a single stamp here...Merlot (Sku#F4393)

Copics used: B0000, B21, B93, YG00, Y21, Y28, YR0000,

C00, E25, E50, E51, E57, E81, E89, E93

Tri-Art Markers: O7

A little LOVElle for my friend by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card with a purpose.  I have a co-worker who's going through a rough time right now.  She found out a couple of months ago that she has bone cancer.  She's already previously beat thyroid cancer so this is pretty scary for her.  She's such a strong and wonderful woman that I wanted to give her a little "pick me up."  She loves dark chocolate so I put a candy bar in LOVELLE'S hand.

I put a bar of dark chocolate in a big clear envelope with the card.

Sometimes she doesn't feel like eating but when she does...I know this will make her very happy.

Isn't this saying just perfect?

  Stay Balanced (Sku#G4196)
I used my laptop to print off the teeny, tiny little Hershey Bar for her to hold on to.

Always be Friends (Sku#G3566) 

**This is an amendment to my original post...today is 12-2-14.  I left this card and the chocolate bar on my friend's desk yesterday.  She told me that she had half the candy bar gone before she finished reading the card!  She said that she laughed pretty hard when she read it and said that's "so her."  She couldn't wait to show her other friends.  She doesn't exactly look like Lovelle.  She's really fit...kayaks,  runs 5K's and gets up at 5 am to do circuit training.  Sometimes I swear she just does all that so she can eat all the chocolate she wants!  Go K!  You're constantly in my thoughts!
