Projects galore! by Reneé Matarese

 Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a few cards with you.
My first cards were created for the current Feline Crazy challenge and the Cat Lovers Hop.
Art Impressions generously donated the Feline Set as a prize for the hop.

For my cards I used  M4877 – Be Joyful Window.  The Windows to the World series is one
of my all-time favorites at Ai.

Have you ever had one of "those" days?  Well, I sure did.  If you look carefully you'll see that on the white card the clouds are puffy.  That's because I got carried away and started to color them green like the foliage below them!  Oops!  I didn't want to scrap the entire picture and start over so I pulled out my Nuvo drops and viola!  Puffy clouds where there once were trees.

For my second projects I used the new 5462 – Web Dies Set and the 5072 – Block Letters Die Set.

The oval that the webs are on was made using the 5065 – Oval Double Stitched Dies.

The treat bag was a gift for my son.  His birthday is Oct. 2 and since he was little 

he's been obsessed with Halloween.  He even keeps Halloween decorations up in 

his bedroom all year round!

My window was cut using the 5061 – Square Double Stitched Dies.

I used the 5135 – Hexagon Double Stitched Dies to reinforce the ribbon handles and make

the bag more decorative.

I hope you all have a safe, fun and spooky Halloween!

Cat and Java GCH by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!!

Today I'm sharing my second post of the day with you.  I made two gift card holders.

The first is 5341 – Black Cat GCH Set. 

As you can see I chose NOT to make him black.  He's not just for Halloween.  My niece has two cats and would LOVE to get a gift card from me in this.

I love this cat and can picture him in so many different colors...maybe with some cute stripes.

The envelope die is so quick and easy to assemble.

My second GCH uses the 5343 – Java GCH Set.

There are so many fun accessories that come with the set. I used some of them on the back of the envelope.

Scaredy Spinner Birthday by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing an interactive card with you.
I've used 4575 – Scaredy Spinner and the 4617 – Scaredy Spinner Dies.

The spinners are images with a front and back image you adhere together and they spin around.

On the inside I used the Happy Birthday verse from the AICS36 – Birthday Wishes set.

The cute little paw prints on the inside are from 

SC0652 – Crazy Cat Lady.
