Happy Birthday Jennie!!

Today is my good friend Jennie Moczan's birthday!!! :D Woohoo!! :D She is one of the most generous, sweet people I know! She's always helpful and gives all she's got and she's a wonderful listener and encourager too!! :D

Her favorite A Muse stamps are the Gerber Daisy and the ToGo Cup so I tried to figure out a way to combine the 2 stamps on one card for her. This is what I came up with:

All stamps, papers and ribbon by A Muse, Palette Hybrid ink and Copic markers also used.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIE!!! May your day be blessed!!

Hugs,

Summer Swap

Hey there!

Here's a swap card I made this past month:

It was a Summer themed swap, could be anything Summer related we wanted to do. Since I hadn't used my Fishing Trip car stamp yet, I thought I'd ink it up!! :D

Lots of stamps on this one: 3 Trees, waves, Daisy Doodle, Fishing Trip, Chinese Proverb, Fancy Borders clear set, Skinny Oval, Mini Oval. Palette Hybrid Noir ink, Whisper White, Going Gray, Ice Blue Colorbox chalk ink, Certainly Celery, Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie, Copics. SU Keytag punch, dimensionals, silver brads, Stickles (Yellow, Lime Green and Stardust).

I hope you're all enjoying your week!! I'll probably be laying low on posts for the next couple weeks. I have a couple things I'll be sharing, but I'm getting ready to head to Nicaragua after The 4th. So things are kinda crazy here, getting ready.

Hugs!

AMAP Twinkle Time Challenge

Happy Friday everyone!! :D For Taylor's Twinkle Time A-muse-a-palooza challenge and in honor of Cupcake Fridays, here's my entry:

Lots of Stickles, (Stardust and Turquoise), a Heart Twinkle Sticker cherry on the cupcake and these fun Glitter Dots given to me from my friend Edie! :D Thanks Eds!! :D

I hope you all have a fun weekend!! :D

Ode to Teen Wolf

If everybody had an o-cean, across the USA, then everybody'd be surfin, like Californ-i-a.....

This is another Out of the Box challenge card for A-muse-a-palooza. Obviously inspired by the Teen Wolf movie from the 80's. Not sure how it got in my head though, cuz I haven't watched it in years!!!

I used my Petal Point Ice Blue chalk ink dragged across the notecard to create the sky. I love that technique, I've been using it on a few cards lately. All image stamps are by A Muse, the "surfin" was made with Snap Stamps and the "USA" was made with my Provo Craft dial stamp.

Thanks for stopping by today!! :D

Teacher Notecards

Today is technically the last day of school for my kids, but I let them play hookie!! :D We went to a Mariners game last night (to watch them LOSE) and didn't get home until about 11:30 so I thought I'd let them sleep in today. It's a half day anyway and they said most of their good bye's yesterday.

When I saw Jennie's cute notecard sets for Teacher Appreciation week, I knew immediately I'd be making some for my kids' teachers! They're so cute and so simple!! Such a great idea!

Supplies used:

Image stamps by A Muse, Karen Foster Snap Stamps, MS scallop border punch, A Muse ribbon, PTI clear gift boxes, Ruby Red, Pretty in Pink and white cardstock, Palette Hybrid Noir Ink, Garden green and Close to Cocoa ink, Copic Markers

Woohoo! School's out for Summer!!

Cool Day

Here's another card for Elena's Out of the Box A-muse-a-palooza challenge.

An Igloo boat! I wish I had the cute little Pineapple stamp from A Muse so I could have the bear holding a pineapple drink and basking in the sun, guess I'll just have to pick it up next time!! :D I masked the "fan-tastic" from the Fan-tastic day stamp and added "cool" from the You're Cool stamp to create the sentiment.

All papers, stamps and ribbon used on this card are from A Muse. Versafine ink, Frost Blue Copic Marker, Marvy Mega scallop oval punch, dimensionals, DD Glitter and Quickie gluepen also used.

Make it in the hay while the sun shines....

Is that how the saying goes??? My bad! :D I made this card for the "Out of the Box" A-muse-a-palooza challenge posted by Elena. I've had this idea floating around in my head for awhile and decided this was the perfect opportunity to finally do it.

Pretty straight forward card, I masked the Kissing Couple before stamping the Hay Wagon and masked the wagon before stamping the Skinny Oval. The hay bg is made by dragging my Color Box Petal Point Yellow Cadmium chalk ink across the Cabana Blue Band notecard until the white part was all filled in, then I stamped the Grass stamp using the same color ink to create the look of hay. The skirt was colored with a Lipstick Red Copic marker then I drew the plaid lines using a white Signo gel pen.

These A-muse-a-palooza challenges are just what I needed right now to get inspired and start stamping again!
