Merry Carolers {Jolly Holly} by Lesley Croghan

Happy Friday! Lesley here, sharing a card I made using the sweet Caroling Tots (Sku#T3607) set! I inked them up with my Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloured them with Copic markers. The image is nice and big, taking up a big portion of my card, which I like! So I added some designer paper and a simple snowflake with a pearl.

I love this sweet image so much! I sure hope you do too!

Happy Holidays!

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!

Caroling Tots by Karen Day

Hello Ai fans!

I have a soft & sparkly Christmas card for you today, featuring the sweet Caroling Tots (Sku#T307) stamp:

 

You can barely tell that I have sprinkled chunky glitter all across the icicle border, on the snowflakes and in and around the carolers - but it is quite soft & sparkly in person!  The sentiment is Bright with Joy (Sku#H4078)

Don't forget that our Gobble T'il You Wobble Challenge (cards with movement) is on for an extra week due to the Thanksgiving holiday, so you still have plenty of time to join in! 

Happy stamping, everyone!  And a very Happy Thanksgiving, too!

Happy Sunday and Happy Holidays everyone!!

Are you all set for Thanksgiving??

As you're reading this I'm probably planning 

the last of my grocery list.

This week I'm showcasing a very sweet winter image

called "Caroling Tots" from the Tiny Tots series

from Art Impressions. 

All of my papers are from the Tim Holtz seasonal stack.

I think this wonderful image really steals the show here.

I've used two sizzix dies, the embossed snowflake 

and the tree.  A Martha Stewart border punch

made the pretty icicles.

Here's a slightly alternate version that I made.
