VMAA BONUS Challenge Combo

Hello again!! :D

I had to do one last challenge card for VMAA last night/today, this is the challenge, to combine all 4 of the VMAA challenges: masculine, no coloring the main image, sketch challenge and 3 of something. I decided to go for 3 metal embellishments. This card is dedicated to all my GOLF lovin' LOSTies!!! (You know who you are! Beep! Beep!!) :D


Thanks so much for taking a peak at all these VMAA cards, this was such a fun event! I can't wait for the next one!! Thanks so much to Geeta, Michelle and Jennie!!! I'm so happy to have such amazingly fun A Muse friends to do this with!!!

VMAA Challenge C #2

Hey everyone!!

What do you think, does this card win the tackiest card of the year award??!! LOL!! I tend to go overboard sometimes and this is definitely one of those times. In retrospect, I think I shoulda not done the strip of glitter across the card and just did ribbon but, what's done is done!! I got this fun Vintage glass glitter from the A Muse store several weeks ago but hadn't gotten a chance to play with it yet. It's a fun glitter, but I guess I learned my lesson that all in moderation is a good piece of advice!!


I was singing the Fly Me to the Moon song in my head not too long ago and thought about the part where it says "let me play among the stars" and then thought the moon girl and Come Play with Me would be cute together!

Her dress is colored with a gray Prismacolor marker and then I used a Stardust pen over the top to give it lots of sparkle. This card is also another try at the VMAA Sketch Challenge.

Thanks for checking out my blog today!! :D

VMAA Challenge D

Good Things come in 3's!! This is Jennie's challenge for the VMAA night tonight, the challenge is to make a card with 3 of something on it, that's it!!

Here's my card:

Can I just say I'm IN LOVE with the new clear stamp sets that A MUSE just released, Sushi and Nature??? :D They're so fun and so me!! Ok, so I'm not japanese, but I love the style of these stamps so much!! :D I used 3 primas and 3 brads on this card. This is one of A Muse's new notecards just released along with the tree from the nature set. I think this friendship stamp is retired from A Muse, the ribbon is also retired from SU.

Thanks so much for stopping by! This is the last challenge for the night! It sure went by SOOO fast!! :D

VMAA Challenge C

My challenge tonight is a sketch challenge:

All stamps and notecards are A Muse.

Here's a quick draw of the sketch:

VMAA challenge B

The next challenge tonight was posted by Geeta! You da MAN challenge, to make a guy card, not intended for kids. So, this is bordering, but the sentiment is definitely not for kids but I was a little worried about the polka dot notecard, not too guyish??? :D Oh well!!

Virtual Meeting of the A Muse Addicts!!!

Hey everyone!! It's an exciting night, the first ever virtual stamp night for the A Muse Addicts Group!!! It's called VMAA, Virtual Meeting of the A Muse Addicts! Our first challenge was posted by Michelle Clark and the challenge is called Don't Color Me Baby, we have to make a card where none of the images are colored in. Here's my entry:


I stamped the Sundaes on an A Muse PLP with Palette Hybrid Burnt Umber ink then topped them with a pink twinkle sticker for the cherries, easy peasy!! New A Muse Kitchen pink notecard and brown stitched ribbon, both stamps by A Muse, SU Chocolate Chip CS, SU oval punches and Signo white gel pen used.

Thanks for stopping by!! I'll be posting at least 3 more cards before the night is through!! :D come join the fun if you're up for it!! The A Muse Addicts button is on the right of my blog, if you click on it, it'll bring you over to the site and you can join!! :D

Pigs in Spaaaace......

Did any of you watch the Muppets as a kid?? That was one of my fave shows growing up and Miss Piggy was my all time FAVE character, I even had a Miss Piggy Puppet doll that I took everywhere with me!

Pigs in space was one of my favorite segments on the show and I can still imagine the announcer announcing it, in my head to this day! This card was inspired by that old show.


The moon was completely a CASE of one of Nicole Miller's awesome glitterfied moons from one of her cards as Guest Designer for A Muse last month. I just used my Marvy Mega circle punch, punched out a circle then punched out the notch with the same punch, dabbed it in Tsukineko Essential Gluepad and sprinkled with yellow glitter. I colored in the rocket with a black glaze pen and silver gel pen along with some Stardust Stickles in the window. The space "helmets" are A Muse Creative Candy clear stickers punched out with a 3/4" circle punch. The sentiment was made with my Provo Craft Dial stamp. All other items used on this card are by A Muse.

Thanks for stopping by today!! :D
