Day 25. Art Impressions PLUS 8 Giveaways

Hello Friends, How are you? I hope everyone is ok with all this crazy weather such as floods and earthquakes! UGH!

Today is a super quick post using this adorable stamp set from Art Impressions! They have such fun images and sentiments. They remind me of spending hours at a Hallmark stores reading every card because every sentiment or image is that cute!

I hope to add a stencil or draw some wall paper then I can call this coloring session complete.

Art Impressions was so generous and sent me a ton of stamps and dies. There is no way I would be able to use them all so I want to pass them along to you.

GIVEAWAY: Eight people will be announced at the end of the challenge to win some stamps & dies. All you need to do is say “hi” in the comment area.

Have a great day and I will be back tomorrow with another giveaway. See you then and a big shout out to Art Impressions!  Hugs, Kathy

    Hi Kathy! What a fun card – I love how our favorite stamp companies each find their own amazing area in which to excel. Maybe it’s my age, but I and my girlfriends really identify with these “Girlfriend” style stamps and the sentiments are a hoot. I totally agree, it feels like standing in a hallmark store laughing to yourself as you can’t stop reading the funny cards! Lovely coloring – I would love to see what you end up doing for the “wallpaper” background!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      What a lovely compliment; thank you so much! That means so much to me. I agree, these stamps and sentiments speak to girl friendships 🙂

  4. Heidi Macy says

    Howdy! I love art impressions and the cute way you did the dress in this stamp. It is a funny saying!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Heidi, I’m happy that you like the way I designed her dress! Thanks for stopping by my blog 🙂

  6. Rosali B. says

    Love your card! Art Impressions has such funny images, I love them! This one fits right with the saying “excuse the mess but we live here!”. 😀

    • Kathy Racoosin says

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Ann, I am so grateful for you lovely compliment! I am sure you are not giving yourself enough credit. I’ve come a looooong way in my coloring, but I still practice and learn from others 🙂

  35. Becky Green says

    “HI, Kathy!” 😉 I think Wall Paper is a GREAT IDEA for this image! I LOVE the little fringe you added to her chair! She looks QUITE THE DIVA! LOL You did a WONDERFUL JOB on her! Her dress makes me think of an animal print! LOL We people ARE messy & DO NEED cleaning up after! Sorry to say, I don’t enjoy cleaning much either! LOL
    A SUPER JOB!!!!!!!!! ;)<3

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Becky, I’m glad you agree…I need a “room” for these images! You are always so thoughtful and I appreciate it 🙂

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Terri, you are so very kind! And I agree…so difficult to choose and so many wonderfully funny scenes and sentiments 🙂

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Andrea, I have very similar childhood memories! I will be sure and post when this “room” is completed 🙂

  54. Rose Mary Smalley says

    Well HELLOOOOOOO Kathy….the coloring Queen.
    I too am a fan of the Art Impressions stamps. I only own a few….but I love them. I have the three sets with the old guys…on Motorcycle…..On a Lawn Mower…and In a Fishing Boat. I always need guy cards and those work soooooo well. And give me a giggle when using them.
    Thank you for this opportunity to maybe win something.
    And….I have not had the nerve to share anything of mine yet…but maybe this will push me over that scary edge.
    Thanks again….have an awesome week.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Oh, I have a lovely title now! You made me laugh out loud.

      You are a super AI fan, then Dot! I’m glad you like the way I colored the image. Good luck, my friend 🙂

  58. Cyndi Morris says

    HI! I love that card and I love Art Impressions. They have such wonderful stamps, especially for those of us of a “certain age” (i.e., OLD). I’ve been trying to get my hands on their “Never Too Old to Laugh” set for months, but it’s always out of stock. One of the things I love about AI is the colored packaging which helps me so much. Your coloring is wonderful and I agree with that sentiment 100%.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Ha, Cyndi, I still don’t think I am “old” but I understand completely! I totally agree about the colorful packaging 🙂

  59. Mirella Rogan says

    HI Kathy! Art Impressions have such fab stamps & dies, I love their sassiness! You did an excellent job once again, but do we even need to keep saying that?! It’s a given, LOL! I participated a bit less in this challenge than I would have wanted, but I’m still happy with the bit that I did, despite really busy and challenging times 🙂 It’s also so fun to see what others are up to, and finding new crafty friends to follow. Thanks for all you’re doing with this fun challenge!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Mirella, you make me blush with your wonderful compliments! And I am glad you participated, no matter how much or how little 🙂

  61. Andre M. says

    Hi! Such a fun card that really speaks to me, I agree with the lady totally! Thanks for the chance.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Jean, I am so glad you like how I colored this fun lady! You made me laugh out loud with your comment…I would love to see a picture of this sentiment in your foyer 🙂

  131. Monica says

    Hi Kathay!
    It’s so generous of you to put together the challenge and on top of that this new Giveaway. I love those stamps and sentiments and I’m already fantasizing what I’ll create with them.

    Hi!
    I love AIs stamps! Between the Girlfriends and some of the guy stamps, I can just about do my whole family . I’m thinking a family portrait is in order. Need to practice my coloring, especially for skin tones! And I need to practice masking so that I can fit everyone in.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Natalie, that sounds like an amazing project! I hope you create it and share…I’m sure it would go viral 🙂

  139. creatingincolors says

    Hi! Love your fun coloring on this Art Impressions stamp, and the background will top it off.

  140. Henriëtte says

    Hi Kathy, what a coincidence I want to place my card tomorrow with the Art Impressions “Eat Itself” stamp. It wasn’t possible earlier because the birthday girl had not yet received it. I love the stamps and sentiments by Art Impressions, especially the ones with the ladies. They are so great, when I see them they always make me smile.

    Your card is so awesome, I love your fringe on the chair, it’s so suitable for these great ladies stamps. And that sentiment, I think I write it down and put it in huge letters on my craftroom door!
    Thank you so much for your post, have a great day and see you tomorrow. Happy colouring.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Henriette, AI stamps always make me giggle too. Glad you like my card and the chair fringe. See you tomorrow, friend 🙂

  145. _chevron2 says

  149. LisaJ says

    Hi! Thanks for the chance to win! We’re having record breaking heat here in my part of Alaska and my stamping and coloring have been on hold because it’s just too darn hot to do anything!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Good luck in the giveaway, Lisa! Sending “cool” thoughts your way 🙂

  150. Sheila H says

    Hi! I had some catching up to do. I was coloring, but wasn’t able to post. I’m back on track. Thanks for the giveaway chance!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Sheila, glad to have you back! Life gets in the way of fun sometimes. Good luck with the giveaway 🙂

  155. Shona Chambers says

    I’ve always loved these stamp sets but never purchased any for myself. Love this one about housework though, definitely going on my wishlist. And beautifully coloured, especially love the shadows.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      I know what you mean, Shona! It is so hard to choose when every AI stamp is just as funny as the previous. I am happy that you like my shadows; they are fun to create. Good luck 🙂

  156. Jeanne Beam says

    Hi Kathy, wonderful stamp sets. Love your gorgeous coloring.
    Thanks for sharing…

  157. Meisie says

    Hi! 🙂 AI is one of my favourite companies. Like you say one wants to read all the cards and look at all the pictures. Loving your colouring! TFS!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Meisie, I am glad to hear that AI is a favourite of yours! Thank you for the lovely compliment 🙂

  163. Bunny says

    Yay! A giveaway. Everyone knows how us card making/scrapbooking makers love a giveaway. Thank you so much.

  171. Lee says

    Adorable stamp. Immediately thought of the people that should get it (like me) but it could never look like your works of art. : ) But you’re right, not enough time to use all the stamps and stuff we keep buying — but we keep trying.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Lee, it is a fun stamp. The beauty is that you probably would never color it the same way twice, so you could make bunches without getting bored. And I’ve decided this hobby is about collecting, not necessarily using everything…none of us will live that long LOL 🙂

  172. Michele says

    Hi! I haven’t been able to color every day, but I am enjoying seeing everyone’s work. Thank you for doing these challenges. Even my nieces have been getting in on the action. ❤️

  173. Marty C says

    Hiya Kathy!! So cool of you to do this for all of us!! Love the challenge too, (but I really suck at posting all my stuffs!!)

      Thank you, Judy! They are so snarky and fun. I am grateful that you stopped by 🙂

  177. Patt H. says

    Hi, Kathy, love this cute card & the perfect saying! Your coloring is spot on & this stamp looks like something I could color without having an anxiety attack. Great sayings on this set too!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Patt, the beauty of AI is that you can color them differently every time, and as simply or detailed as you like! Thanks for stopping by my blog 🙂

  178. Mary-Anne V. says

    Hi…love the way you added detail to the image. So fun. Art Impressions has the funniest stamps.

  179. Jessica Boyd says

    Hi just wanted to say that it’s so generous of art impressions to give products away as it’s not easy to run a business but it just shows me that buying brand products is supporting people who care.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

  200. Judy says

    Hi just love this card – it is so me – too much time scrapping etc to do boring things like housework

  204. Stacey Kowbel says

    It is so funny, that I also made a card for your coloring challenge with the cool Art Impressions stamps recently. They are really so fun! I definitely need to get some more of them. I actually would have thought your card was done already 🙂 So funny, that you still want to add some background to it to call it final. I like it the way it is very much.
    Thank you for the genrorous giveaway! So kind of AI and of you to pass them on.

    Kind regards from stempelfrida

    Hi! This is such a hilarious card. I love art impressions designs. The designers there have such a wicked sense of humour. I’m going to have to get this particular stamp set in the future. Your card is fabulous Kathy. It is better than a ‘Hallmark’ card. Anyone who gets a card from you is a lucky person. Thank you for the sharing and the inspiration.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Julie, this is one of the sweetest comments ever! You are a truly thoughtful person. Your kindness made my day 🙂

    I love these stamps & sentiments because they are so me & I love how you colored this one! I am not a housework person at all. If it was up to me, I wouldn’t do any! My mom likes to have the house just so but at 91, 92 on July 29th, she’s not able to do it anymore so I have to but I want to craft! LOL Thanks for letting us win these. I would love to win! Hope you are enjoying the summer & the warm weather.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Thanks so much, Gail! I hope you are able to have someone help you with the housework. Best wishes for a win in the giveaway 🙂
