Reindeer Games by Art Impressions

Woop woop!  It's the big day!  Were you a good girl or boy this year?  Did you get everything on your wish list?  As I type this, it's the wee hours in the morn, so I guess I haven't been on my best behavior, otherwise I would have schedule this post way in advance.  As I like to say, I put the "PRO" in procrastination.  That doesn't make me bad, does it?  I think it actually means that I'm really conscientious about doing a good job.  In this case, that job is to put things off.  HA!  Sounds good to me :D

I'll keep this short.  I've got some presents to unwrap in a few short hours and I need my beauty rest.  Can't let Santa see me with bags under my eyes...lol!  

This image is called Reindeer Games and is by Art Impressions.  I feel like they spy on my life and then sketch me in the form of these snarky lasses.  Visit the shop and the blog for more or these sassy images.  

Okay, I best be scootin'.  I need to round up a hand truck to haul around my loot ;)  Hey, a girl can dream, right?  Stay crafty!

Mid Challenge Inspiration at Kenny K: Anything Goes!

Hello, all!  I'm back today to remind you that the Anything Goes challenge is still happening at Kenny K!  That's right, you make the rules!  Use whatever Kenny K image, layout, colors, theme you want.  It's up to YOU!

I used Mae Western on my card.  She's a whole lotta woman and a whole lotta fun to color!  If you need to practice coloring skin and hair, this is your image ;D  Pick her up in the Kenny Download shop.  

This card closes out my term with Kenny K, so January you'll see a new team take the stage and set these images on fire with their talent.  It has been a blast and Kenny and Elena have been a pleasure to work with. 

I'll be scarce next week spending my time baking, wrapping, cooking, and hanging out with family.  Some of those tasks should have been completed this week, but cats are really bad at wrapping gifts and following recipes, so I guess I'll just have to do them myself...sigh. ;)

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all!

The Christmas Witch at Art Impressions

Welcome back!  Hee hee!  I get a kick of this!  You know me, I'm always looking for a way to use Halloween images all year long.  With that in mind, I couldn't resist taking Witch Wanda and transforming her into a Christmas Witch.  

Wanda really doesn't possess much in the way of magical powers.  Heck, I don't even think she owns a broom!  BUT, the one thing she CAN do is make you smile :)  And that's all she really needs to do.  

You can find Witch Wanda in the Art Impressions Shop and be sure and visit the blog.  There are postings EVERY day, so lots of inspiration to go around. 

Until next time, stay crafty!

The Weigh In with Cheryl Valadez

Hey all!  Welcome back!  This is the first of two posts I'll be sharing today.  Yep!  That's just cah-razy!  For me, anyway ;)  It's Wednesday (as if you needed reminding) and that means it's my day to post on the Art Impressions Blog.  WOO HOO!

Rather than create a holiday card, I decided to whip out my crystal ball and see what the immediate post Christmas future holds for me.  Here it is...hahaha!  Art Impressions just happened to have the perfect set to convey what my holiday aftermath will look like.  This set is called The Weigh In and it is available in the Art Impressions Shop along with a bunch of other fabulous images.  How about doing some shopping?  Pick up a few of these sassy stamps for you and don't forget stocking stuffers for your crafty "girlfriends" ;) 

That's it for me!  I'll be back in a couple of hours with a new Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps image!  Pop back in and check it out!  See you soon!

12 Days of Krafty Kreations...Day Twelve!

Hey, y'all!  Welcome back!  Over at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps we've been celebrating the holidays with a bit of daily inspiration for you during our 12 Days of Krafty Kreations!  Each day one of the Krafty Girls has showcased an image and used it on a card, there are some fabulous designs that you won't want to miss!

As an added bonus, each one of the stamp sets we've been showing (plus a few extras) are on sale 20-50% OFF until TONIGHT!!!  Each order placed before tonight will receive a FREE GIFT!

Today I am using the EVA stamp set which is part of the sale going on now!  Eva is probably my favorite cold weather stamp image and I've used her several times.  Love that sassy smirk.  All she has to do is bat those eyes and I'm sure some hunky dude will come right over and shovel that snow for her...LOL!  

Kim will be sharing more projects featuring Eva on the KKS Facebook Page today.  Also, don't forget to head to the KKS Shop and check out what's on special before the sale is over!!!

Okay, that will do it for me today!  Until next time, stay krafty!

It's Ugly Sweater Time with Art Impressions!

Hi there!  I took a little break over the Thanksgiving holiday to enjoy some time with family and indulge in some fabulous food!  I may have indulged a bit too much, 'cuz now I'm feeling a bit like my friend on my card ;)  How about you?  Did you have to pull out the stretchy pants like I did?  

The tryptophan haze is finally wearing off and I am slowly coming out of my food coma.  Just in time too, because December is here and it is time to get into the Christmas spirit!  I absolutely ADORE this fun and quirky image by Art Impressions and nothing Holiday Cheer like this little Miss.  She just makes me smile :)  In fact, I love ALL of the Art Impressions designs and it's a good thing, because I have the honor of being a part of the Ai Design Team for the next 6-months!!!!  YAA HOO!!!  Now I really do resemble the happy lady pictured above...LOL!  

By the way, this stamp comes with the sentiment and is appropriately named Ugly Sweater Set.  Pick her up plus many more in the Art Impressions Shop.  Also, be sure to swing by the Art Impressions Blog as there are daily postings showcasing their wonderful stamps.  LOTS of inspiration over there!  

Okey dokey, I think I will call it a day.  Until next time, stay crafty!
