My Mushroom Cubbie from Art Impressions was PUBLISHED!!

 Guess what??

I had my Mushroom Cubbie card published!!

I'm in the current issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine.

I entered it into the Valentine category because, how perfect is that sentiment for your Valentine...
There's Gnome-one like you! Besides using the 5728 – Mushroom Cubbies I used one of the hearts from 5721 – Nested Heart Dies.

I added little accents with the Dr. Ph Martin's Bleed Proof White paint.  I like that it's a little non-traditional in its colors and theme.  There's a heart and embossed hearts but it's not predominately hearts.  Not that there's anything wrong with that!!  lol!!  I just like things to be a little non-traditional. 

There's a digital copy of the magazine online or you can purchase a paper copy in most craft stores. It's a wonderful magazine.  You can also subscribe.

Sending Bugs and Kisses from Art Impressions

 Happy Sunday everyone!

Today I'm sharing a sweet, whimsical card made from the 
5728 – Mushroom Cubbies,
5742 – Easter Journal Paper Pack
and
5463 – Slimline Dies Set

Last week was teacher appreciation week and I received some gifts from some students as well

as some "just because" gifts from friends.  I'll be sharing several thank you cards like this

in the near future.

I just love how cute this set is whether you color it brightly or softly.
Also, the little pieces stand on their own without the adorable main mushroom image.

There's no bunny like you!

 Hello Ai fans!

My card was made as the feature for the Easter Wishes challenge on the Art Impressions blog.

You can find all of the details here.

I used  5716 – Little Boy Front & Back.

I accessorized my card with lots of little add on stamps.  The bird, basket of eggs and tulips are from 5488 – Front Porch Easter Set.  With this type of card,  you pull the tab and it reveals a hidden panel inside.

The sentiments on the front and inside are from 5733 – Easter Sentiments Set.
They're stamped on 5727 – Nested Oval Dies and 5725 – Nested Square Dies

The little butterfly is from the beyond adorable new 5728 – Mushroom Cubbies set.
Last is the bunnies...oh those bunnies!  These are just the CUTEST!!

I used two of them from the new 5737 – Bunny & Chicks Set.

New Mushroom Cubbies and MB Tool Shed from Art Impressions

Hello Ai fans!

Did you see the new releases last week on the Art Impressions website??
I was like a kid on Christmas morning when I saw this set!
It's called 5728 – Mushroom Cubbies.

You can see all of the Critter Cubbies here...

I stamped the verse on a die from 5132 – Tag Stitched Dies.
The mattes were cut from 5063 – Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Dies.

The Cubbies are an interactive series.  They all have
doors and windows that open to reveal hidden treasures!
I'll pause for a moment here, while you take a moment to giggle 

over that fabulous little bee butt...lol!

My next card also uses a new release.

This time I used 5729 – Tool Shed MB.
This is from the Matchbook Series.

If you've never seen the Matchbooks before, you need to 

begin here.  5317 – MB Template Dies  This is the template that ALL 

Matchbooks go into.  There's also a tiny little 5318 – MB Envelope Dies
that I'll be sharing next week.

I hope you're all enjoying the new releases as much as I am.
Happy crafting and I'll see you next week.
