Christmas Rocking Tots!

Hello Ai Fans!
Today's card is using the adorable Art impressions Stamps called "Christmas Rocking Tots". I am in love with the whole line of the "Tots". Art impressions has Tots for almost every Holiday!
I decided I wanted this card to be colourful and fun so of course I chose the Doodlebug Sugarplums Designer 6x6 paper collection. The patterns and colours are just so bright and fun! I added a few die cuts and ribbon to add more interest to my card. 
The inside sentiment is also from Art Impressions and is called "Bright with Joy".

Hmmmmm!

Hi Ai Fans!
Hmmmm..... I fear this will be me after Christmas LOL! There are just too many goodies around the Holidays! Today is the 2nd week of the new release over at Art Impression Stamps of 5 brand new seats of Ai People. I am using the "If It Zips" set (#4669). It just cracks me up! I think we've all been there and even to the point of laying on the bed to get the zipper up LOL! But hey you gotta love her muffin tops!!
I chose paper from the Bo Bunny Genevieve 6x6 Collection. The design is simple just using MFT Fishtail Flags and some sequins from Doodlebug!
On the inside I left it blank and will add a stamped sentiment once I know what occasion I will send the card for.

Copics Used:
Skin: E00, E21, E95, R20, RV17

It is also the 2nd week of the challenge called "Ready For Resolutions". We'd love to see a New Year's card or a funny resolution! So get crafty and enter in, who knows you could be our next winner!

My First Pocket Letter!

Hi Everyone!
Today I want to share with you my first Pocket Letter that I made! Pocket Letters are a very trending thing right now and I've been curious about them for quite a while now. So when my friend Diane (from Ai Design Team) asked if anyone wanted to exchange Pocket Letters I jumped at the chance! I watched a ton of Youtube videos and read lots of blogs to see just what you needed to do. Here is my finished letter.
The basic idea is that you use a 9 Pocket Trading Card Protector and fill each pocket with anything you like. It's sort of like making 9 ATC cards. You can add goodies if you like and usually you add a little note as well. The idea is then you can fold the page protector and mail it in a standard size 10 envelope. For me I mailed mine flat in a bubble envelope to make sure it got to Diane is good shape!
I am using all papers and some ephemera from the Pink Paislee Bella Rouge 6x6 paper collection.  I backed all my design papers with plain black cardstock. The doll stamp is from the Julie Nutting Mixed Media Doll line and is named "Olive".  I coloured her with my Copics and Paper pieced her outfit. She even has some bling jewellery on!
 I added little goodies in some of the pockets for her to use. I tried to stay with the same colour scheme for the goodies. I made the heart filled with sequins using my We Are Memory Keepers Fuse Tool and a pocket page.
I added a tiny envelope that contained a letter that is sort of an "all about me". Sorry you can't see what I wrote LOL, you'll have to do a swap with me to find out!! 

I hope Diane likes the Pocket Letter! As soon as I receive hers and take some pictures I will show you what she sent me!

Happy Crafting!
