It's Ugly Sweater Time! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing a really fun image with you.  This Art Impressions set is called Ugly Sweater Set (Sku#4350).

My school had an Ugly Sweater Day last Christmas and it was so much fun!  It's a great way to get in the spirit!

This is my first time trying my hand at coloring a person of color.  I think it turned out pretty good but I know I've got a long way to go.  I don't know...she looks pretty happy to me!

What happens at the salon...by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans! 

I was so excited to make this card.  My hair dresser who I've been going to for the last 17 years is expanding her business.  She purchased the business next door and knocked down a wall.  They'll be providing spa mani/pedis now and I wanted to congratulate her.

How better to do that than with the 4 four funnest ladies around!

This image is from Art Impressions and is called Beauty in Progress Set (Sku#4240).

 

The adorable little sign and shelf are from Beauty Salon (Sku#3529).

The top verse on the inside is from the salon set and the CONGRATULATIONS is from  Hats Off Set (Sku#4289).

You're Incredi-BOWL! by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today, to go along with the recent  Art Impressions release of new Ai People I'm sharing a card made with the Incredibowl Set (sku# 4530).

I usually bowl about once a year so she's probably better than me, plus I don't have a cute shirt like she does. (and I think that matters...I'd definitely bowl better if I looked the part!)

Here's the verse that comes with this stamp...

It says You're gutter-ly INCREDI-BOWL!

I just love puns!!

Welcome Annalee (Little Sprout) by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!  

Today I'm sharing a sort of unusual baby card.  Our band director at school who is also in a band is expecting his first baby.  I wanted to do a music themed card to represent his love of music and the name he and his wife picked out...Annalee like the song by Levon Helm.  Here's the link if you're interested.  It's a very pretty song.

I've used the adorable Little Sprout #4317.

I know it's not your typical baby girl card but that's one of the most wonderful thing about being a card maker.  You can customize your card ANY way you want to suit the recipient.  I defy you to find a more appropriate card for him in any store!
