Let's face it... by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and happy Monday!

I'm super excited to share with you this super cool diva from the Valentine collection.  

Isn't she just amazing?!  She is from the Looked So Good set (SKU# 4381)!

To match the Valentine theme, I figured to make a fun background using 

the Heart background (SKU# UMT3089).

I absolutely adore her hat... well, it does shaped like a box of chocolate, hehe!

And finish it up with the perfect sentiment and blings, viola!

Copics:  C1, C3, C5, E00, E11, E71M E74, E77, R81, R83, R85

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Sledding penguins by Kerry

Hello Ai friends and Happy New Year!

I hope you had a great holiday and happy 2105!!

We got a few inches of snow on last week, so I figured it would be fun to use the super cool 

Sledding Penguins (SKU# Q3062).  

I decided to create a snow background using Pan Pastel.  Once, I got the desired colors, I sprayed with the spray mist to seal the pastel. 

Then I used the Heart Background (SKU# H818) to create some snow.  I stamped it with versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. 

For the adorable penguins, I colored them with colored pencils.

And Viola!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a crafty day!

We're starting off the hop right here and I'm excited to share the amazing Ruby Rock-It products alongside our Ai Stamps in Project Life format!

I'm featuring the At Last collection from the Ruby Rock-It summer wedding release. I not only loved the colors and patterns, but they matched perfectly with a wedding I was a bridesmaid in a couple months ago. My very dear friend and college roommate was wed in June and the tones and accents of this line perfectly paired with her rustic theme and summery colors.

I loved all the die cut embellishments from this line, especially that they are all double-sided, so I could pick and choose the perfect sentiments or designs to coordinate.

"At Last" is also perfect for this amazing couple, as they got married after NINE years of dating. You can imagine they had a large, beautiful wedding surrounded by so many friends and family.

I also had fun adding in some of our stamps. I used our Wedding Day script as a photo overlay and used our Heart Background for an added touch to one of the cards. 

We'd love to hear you feedback! Are you a PL-er? Do you love this style of memory-keeping? Leave us a comment below!

Best Friends!

Hello and Happy Monday my Ai friends!  Hope you had a great weekend and ready for another wonderful week!  Today I'm sharing a simple picture frame card using this adorable stamp called Twins (SKU#K1923) and isn't she so cute?  Her big fur coat and her furry friend!  

For the frame, I used the vintage cabinet card and mini cabinet card Bigz dies.  To add a little background on the plain card stock, I randomly stamped Heart Background (SKU#H818).  I colored Twins with copic markers, distressed the edges, added some flowers and a few embellishments.  I also added an easel on the back, so that the frane will stand.

I hope you like it and thanks so much for stopping by!
