A Kitchen Table

Hi Everyone
Well it's Thursday and it's time for the next Art Impressions weekly challenge. This weeks theme is beverages and since I am not a coffee drinker, I opted for a tea theme, so that is why I crossed off the word coffee.

I love using metallic paper/card stock, however the reflections really can mess with the camera. So I am sorry this photo is not better.

Since the tea cups and the tea pot are old fashioned looking I decided to use some old lace that my mom had years ago. I have yards of it.

Stamps used: Art Impressions A Kitchen P2136  Mini Tea Pot G2641   Mini Tea Cup D2682

Inks - India Ink

Glitter - Sunset

Paper/Card stock - Silver card stock, Cream CS, White CS, DP

Lace

Hope you decide to submit a creation to this weeks challenge.

I will be participating in a blog hop over on my other blog, www. ippitydoda.blogspot.com  it starts at 8:00 p.m. EDT tonite so try to stop on by over there, there will be prizes.

Have a great week!!

Live Life in the Deep End

Hi Everyone,
Guess who I saw today, Agnes, and she had been to the Kentucky Derby, in all her finest. In fact I have a card that depicts her at the derby last Saturday. She said she had a blast and said she is living life "in the deep end". I guess she is going to let her hair down, so to speak. She said she was in the infield and had a spot right next to the rail,.... saw the race and everything.(Most people in the infield never see a horse run. LOL) She even had a bet on the winner,.... bet 'em to show ......she was being conservative in her bets. LOL  Well I know she was wearing her Derby Hat and she was decked out in her finest. You know, the infield is a happening place, so I bet she had a great time.

I hope you enjoyed Agnes' adventure as much as she did.

Stop back tomorrow for the next weekly challenge.

Celebrate

Hi Everyone
I am so glad you've stopped in today. I have a fun card to share with you. Today's theme over at the Art Impressions weekly challenge is a Circle Card. And on top of that, the postman delivered me some new Art Impressions stamps today, perfect timing!!! I knew what kind of a card I wanted to do and when I looked at the new stamps, I envisioned which stamps I thought would be perfect for that round card. I selected the Party Girls because of the balloons, it just fit with the round card theme.

Here is the card opened

The girlfriends are having a blast and I just added some more balloons to add to the party look. I added bakers twine to the balloon bottoms so they could hold on to the balloons. LOL.  The sentiment is sitting on a tag cut from the Spellbinders Fancy Tags Die. I actually extended the die to allow the sentiment to fit. Also, since there is a large area of white space, I added my squiggles to that white background using a glue pen and covered that with Sparkling Snow Glitter. That just adds to the party atmosphere. LOL

It's Grill Out Time

Hi Everyone,
Do you believe it, we just scooted into May. We are already done with 1/3 of the year. WOW!!!!!

A week from this Sunday is Mother's Day, and a lot of families are going to be cooking out. So here is a cute invitation to send out for this great party. And who else is the perfect couple to announce your great party than the BBQ Couple, and they always host a great grill party.

Since I don't have an apron die, I cut my own out of blue CS. When I added the gingham paper, I adhered it on the sides and the bottom, leaving a opening on the top for a pocket. Next I wanted to make the couple stand out so I adhered the couple to a label shape.I adhered the stamped image on the bottom half of the label and used pop dots on the top half of that stamped image.Next I just adhered the bottom half of the label to the gingham paper.  Behind the label shape is the invitation information for the BBQ party,tucked right into that pocket. What a cute party invitation and it fits into an A-2 size envelope.

Stop back tomorrow for my card based on the new theme for this weeks Art Impressions Weekly Challenge.
