No Coloring Zone

Hi!

Each month Jennie posts a new challenge on the A Muse Lounge and sadly I rarely make time to play! I did make one for this month's challenge, to make a card without using coloring tools like markers, pens, or pencils, etc.

Here's what I made:

Super quick card to make, something I rarely do! Victoria gave me a box of inchies a long time ago and I saw them sitting there in my drawer all sad and lonely, decided to give them a go! :D I may have cheated a little by using red Stickles in the apple, but I kicked myself after doing it! I didn't color the main images though, just rubbed red chalk ink along the edges of the inchies. Super simple!

Hope you're enjoying your week so far!

Hugs,

Team Jacob?

Hey there! Still playing around with my new A Muse Twilight stamps over here. Although I'm definitely team Edward, I couldn't resist making a Bella and Jacob card:

I'm so in love with the new Blackberry notecards from A Muse and the Woodgrain cardstock for that matter!!! The blackberry is such a gorgeous color that makes my heart flutter when I look at it!! The sentiment was printed on the computer. I so need to get my hands on some more Karen Foster Snap Stamps when my budget permits, feels weird using the computer for my card!! :D I did get to try out my new EK Success Moon and stars punch, didn't end up using the stars, but it makes a pretty perfect little moon!

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a fabulous weekend!!

Hugs!

Happy Friday!

I've been trying to work in a little crafty time here and there this past week. Taking longer to make a card than I'd like it to, but it's coming back to me!!

Had to play some more with my new Twilight Stamps from A Muse!! Kind of a weird color combo for me, wasn't how I planned it to turn out, but you never know 'til you try, right?? :D Tough to see, but there are Stardust Stickles on Eddie and Yellow Stickles on the sun.

I have a couple more to share in the next week too, so stay tuned.

Blessings to you today!

New Twilight stamps

Hello!! Long time no chat! Sorry for such a long break, I've been enjoying the busyness of Summer and haven't had much stampin' time.

I'm so excited about A Muse's new Twilight stamps in the Halloween release! I'm trying to get back into my groove, but it may take some time. I played around a bit today, not quite sure how I feel about it but I'll keep trying!

On the inside I stamped "Happy Birthday." I suppose you could say anything on the inside and it'd work with the movie quote!

Hope you've all had a great Summer! My kids start school on the 9th, I'm sure looking forward to the Fall routine starting back up.

Hugs!

AP Spot Challenge

There's a new challenge on the A Muse blog this week for A-Muse-A-Palooza. The challenge is to make a card inspired by the word "spot."

I thought of all sorts of ideas but landed on the Spot the dog children's book series, using Patch. Here's what I made:

Spot's First Walk

Spot's Birthday Party


Spot at the Farm


And one more card just for fun, inspired by inkspots:

I used Adirondack Alcohol inks, dripped and splattered them randomly. Also colored in the main image using the same inks from the bottles and a blender pen. This turned out totally 80's to me! I remember having a sweatshirt with ink splatters all over it! Heehee! (And, yes, I wore a high-up side pony tail with a scrunchie and big bangs!!) :D

All Stamps, Papers and Twinkle stickers used on these cards are by A Muse Artstamps (except for black and white basic CS).

I'm gonna be taking a break from blogging this month since I'll be on vacation but look forward to hopping back on in August! Hope you're all enjoying your Summer!!

Happy A-Muse-A-Palooza to you!!

Hugs!

One More Twilight Card

Hey!

Here's another "Twilight" inspired card for the 3rd A-Muse-A-Palooza challenge on the A Muse blog this week:

I've been wanting to do a "you're cool" card with Edward for awhile and finally got some time to do it. Pretty silly, but it was fun to make. I think Eddie looks a bit like Liberace in that glittered up cape! LOL! Of course, I had to add in some woods in the bg to be authentic! :D All stamps and papers used on this card are by A Muse Artstamps, Memento Inks, Copic Markers, Marvy Circle Punch, EK Success trees border punch, Black Diamond Stickles, silk ribbon, dimensional tape, and sponge daubers also used.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Blessings to you!

A-Muse-A-Palooza Twilight Blog Challenge

Hi!

Woohoo!! I'm so excited! A Muse has a super cool challenge on their blog this week! The inspiration word for the challenge is Twilight!!! How fabulous is that??? Of course it made me think of the books/movie first thing.

Here's what I made:

I had a tough time deciding on which sentiment to use, was tempted to do "you're cool" or "have a scent-sational day" but opted for "life's simple pleasures" instead. Twilight sure is one of life's simple pleasures!!

All stamps used on this card are by A Muse Artstamps, inks by Memento. Notecard by A Muse. Misc. items used: Marvy oval punch, sponge, blender pen, decorative scissors, dimensional tape.

Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! I'm thankful these challenges are here to get me inspired again!

Hugs,
