My Perfect 10

Saltbox Color Challenge

Last week some of the Saltbox Studio Design Team were talking about doing some card challenges. Well Elena came up with this great color combination and our first challenge for 2009 was issued to the Team. For a little extra fun we invited the A Muse Creative Team to play along too! The Color Challenge was to use Swiss Red and Cabana Blue a great winter combination, perfect for this cold front we are having this week. It's going to be 38 tomorrow! Brrrr! I used one of the adorable snowmen from the Saltbox Studio Winter Wonders set and combined... Read more →

7 Months Old Already!

Each month my sister has had a little "birthday" party for Gavin to celebrate his month birthdays. Yesterday was his 7 month birthday already and we all got together for dinner and dessert. He had seven little candles and we sang Happy Birthday but all Gavin wanted was to get his hands on that cake! He is going to be a pro at this by the time his 1st birthday gets here. *wink* Here is an after shot ~ Boy did he get good and chocolatey! He even had it on his back but he had a good time! Gavin...

The Love Shack

Here is another Sneak Peek that has everyone singing the B-52's. This is a quick card I put together last night after finding a new blog. Clean & Simple Stamping goes perfectly with the A Muse "Think Simple Think A Muse" motto! I found this sketch and just fell in *love* with the sample card ~ So much so I didn't change a thing! *wink* I think the Swiss Red and Chocolate work so well together as a color combo against the white. I can see this sketch popping up in my work a lot more. I stamped the Love... Read more →

Frame It Up

Sorry for the late post today but it was back to work for me. YUCK! It's always hard when vacation comes to an end, they go by way too fast! I have another Sweet Shop Sneak Peek from the A Muse Release, which will be available in only two more days! These images are just so cute! I found this cute pink frame at Target last weekend and got the idea to make this cute Sweet Shop Frame. I used three new stamps on it ~ The Milkshake, Ice Cream, and Dessert First. I so agree with that sentiment. *wink*... Read more →

Sweat Treats

Here is another sneak peek from the A Muse Valentine release, which will be available on January 7th! This is another stamp I just had to have. I actually had a real working gumball machine when I was a teen. It was so cool! But it never stayed full of gumballs very long. *wink* How cute is that stamp with the one heart gumball in the center! I just *love* it. I stamped the Gumball Machine with the A Muse Dye Ink and colored it with Copics and I went over just the heart with a Spica Red Glitter Pen... Read more →

A Muse Sneak Peek

As promised I have a Sneak Peek from the new Valentine release from A Muse. These stamps are to "Fall in Love With" Cute!!! They will be available on the A Muse site on January 7th but you can grab them up now if you have a store near you that carries the A Muse line. I used the new Chocolate Assortment stamp which I stamped three times in the A Muse Dye ink. I just *heart* that ink! I paired the yummy chocolate with the new sentiment I Love You More Than... You can't see it in the photo... Read more →

January 2009

Yesterday I mentioned wanting to send out more cards this year. Well to help me remember special dates I needed a new calendar. Last year, each month I looked forward to seeing Emily post her calendar pages so I thought I might do the same this year. Thanks for the inspiration Emily! My calendar is still a work in progress, I don't have a Bind It All "yet" ~ Fingers crossed. *wink* But my pages are coming along nicely. I used the downloadable square calendar from A Muse. All stamps are also A Muse. I inked up just a few... Read more →
