AI at Michael's Blog Hop

(I'd like to enter this card in the "Friends" challenge at Simon Says Stamp)

     Today I'm joining in a very special blog hop for Art Impressions Stamps.  Now I don't know about you, but I have had Michael's employees direct customers to me to tell them where things are in the store.  LOL   Hopefully you're not as bad as me, but if you have been lurking around the stamping section you just may have noticed that Art Impressions has teamed up with Hampton Art to make some great clear stamp sets and Michael's is carrying them.

Here's a little peek at all five sets.  There full of Art Impressions wonderfully quirky characters.

     I've used the "Beach Babes" set for my cards today and if you'll join in our hop you'll see cards created from all the sets by our wonderful designers.

     Here's a close up of some of my fave AI characters.  Gotta love these little ladies.

     I made a second card using the second main image and one of the five sentiments included in the set.  I've nicknamed her Gold Digger.  Hee hee

     Here's a glamour shot showing her sparkly bathing suit.  I used a Wink of Stella clear glitter pen because I was sure her suit would sparkle like diamond dust to match her rock.

Hope you enjoyed my cards.  There are plenty of other ones to check out if you join the hop.
