Kangaroo Mouthfuls by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

My niece just turned 11!!

Happy Birthday Brynn!

As soon as I saw this sweet new 4947 – Kangaroo Mouthful Set set from Art Impressions I couldn't wait to make a card for her.  There are lots of accessories with this set and many different combinations you can try.  I chose the noise maker and the gift box. Both Mama and Joey are wearing a party hat.

This mom and joey are just the cutest combo!

Baby can fit in her pouch but I chose to use the gift in her pouch and put the little one beside her.

I used two verses from the set...one on the front and one inside.

I made a second version to have on hand just in case someone's birthday pops up that I forgot about.

Here's mama kanga with the gift outside of her pouch.

Heard you were flat on your back...by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans! 

 Today I'm sharing a get well card with you.  My brother-in-law recently hurt his back so I sent him this card to cheer him up. 

L1603 – Turtle

E1678 – Flat on Back

Inside I used a verse from the new Michael's clear set called GET Well SC0681.  I thought this verse worked great with the turtle.

Grin and Bear It by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a card that  I cased from a close friend of Ai.  Sandy Allnock from Operation Write Home who Art Impressions occasionally partners with made THIS fantastic card.  I fell in love with the green and the bear.  I decided to create my own version of it.

I used Grizzly (Sku#P1886) and Grin & Bear It (Sku#E1908) on the front.  The paw prints are from the discontinued Mouthfuls Dog set.  I added claws to make them bear prints.

The beautiful script verse is Happy Birthday (Sku#E597)

Bear Hug Valentine set by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a very versatile Valentine's Day set from Art Impressions.  The set is called Bear Hug Set (Sku#4361).    When I first saw this set I immediately thought that it really isn't Valentine specific which is a GOOD thing!  I can picture using this as an anniversary card or, as you can see below, a birthday card.  The more uses for an image the better!

There's a very unique feature of this set.  There's a main image and a stamp of just the torso and head.  You can pop up the upper portion of him on an action wobble and watch him bounce!!

Here's the inside of the Valentine.

Now...here's my other version.  This one is a birthday card for my 7 year old niece. I always tease her because her 9 yr. old sister always runs to give me hugs when I see her.  Brynn, on the other hand, struts by with a "hey" and that's about it.

Born to be Wild (Sku#C4091)

Speaking of versatile...the paw prints are actually dog prints from the Mouthfuls Dog set.  I added the claws with a black marker to make them bear tracks.

I also used Block Birthday Wishes (Sku#F2867) and Gimmie Hugs (Sku#F4365).
