Live, Laugh, Love!

Hi all! Another Impression Obsession's CHA Summer Preview for you today! All this week (18th through 24th of July), different team members will be showcasing some of IO's new designs that will soon be available... to YOU! And, you could WIN a $25 gift certificate to the IO Store! How can you win? All you have to do is leave a comment on every team member's sneak peek blog post, and the I.O blog... every day! Just visit the I.O. blog each morning for links to the posts for the day!

On to my creation!

I have to tell you, I love the charm in Gary Robert's images and this one is no exception. I am not sure if you can see this in the photo but aside from some of the fun flowers -- there are hidden images too! My daughter had a blast with this one trying to find the kitty, butterfly and turtle as I was coloring it up. This new stamp is called G1829 Mailboxes. The design here is super simple -- stamp, color with Copics (I think I used nearly every marker I had in green yellow and neutral shades), mat on decorative paper (a mix from my stash) add a vintage brad (Stampin' Up) and an embossed and sanded paper strip for a little something extra and.... done!



Want to see what some of the other IO gals whipped up? Just click HERE to travel over to the IO blog to see who else is showing off some new creations today! And, if you want to see some of the other new IO images, just click HERE to see the entire new Fall/Winter release!

    Very pretty card. The way you colored the buckets that are holding the mailboxes, adding shades of brown gave the buckets great texture, Finding the cat, butterfly and turtle was fun!

    Absolutely charming and this is my kind of card (one charmer to another). He is a fabulous artist and you are most worthy of using his art to create a BEAUTIFUL card. Noticed you've been using PAPER instead of frou-frou ribbon this week - - stash dry up?; Ken cut off your frilly embellie money??; Cal need it to hold his football uniform together??? Aren't you glad you're getting a whole week of me? :) "See" ya tomorrow!

    This is so, so pretty! I love that it has "hidden" images, too! I probably wouldn't have noticed had you not said anything about it. Beautifully done!

    This is a really great stamp, love the flower vines creeping up the mailboxes. I always look out for the cat. Great card layout also. Thank you for sharing.
