VSN on Splitcoast

Has anyone been playing along? It's lots of fun! Here's 3 cards I did last night and hopefully I'll see some of you tonight on the tag - along A team. Go to the amuse site to get more info, posted in the lounge.

Here's my samples so far!
Monochromatic challenge, what you love - this is a wedding card, I love to give the "green" for wedding gifts.
This was a challenge to use stamps you bought but haven't used yet, I love this little castle but everytime I stamp it and color it, I never am happy with the image. I wanted to make it a queen of your castle card or celebrate or inner princess card but, it always comes out "little girly" looking so, here's a little lady card, that solved my issue, the sentiment, now I love it again.
What you love with a large circle and a large chipboard heart. This used the new graphic 45 paper from Stampin & Scrappin Time. 8:00 pm is my favorite time of day, bedtime for everyone else but me!

Back from Camp!



Went to camp for a couple of days with our friends from Canton, this is their last trip as job changes are sending them to El Paso, we will miss them tons!


Laundry is running, house is clean and my new Amuse stamps are here and I'm having a blast with them!

This is a new chick, carrot stand, and happy easter all available at my LSS - Stampin' & Scrappin' Time they will ship them to you too!

This turtle, snail and snail mail are all new from Amuse - These images are just so much fun!

Can't get enough of these clouds, and the blue around it are the spica (speeka) glitter pens from copic, they are amazing glittery pens, also new sky's the limit saying, love this for graduations and long grass and tiny flower! WOW! so versatile!

DISCLAIMER..

Here's a link to a Video that my friend Cari filmed, NOW first things first, no professional videographer, model, actor or lighting were used in the filming of this video.

And all the words that I couldn't think of insert "thingy". And I'm not From A muse, I just am using A muse stuff.

I can't look into the camera because it is in front of my giant windows and the sun is shining brightly into my eyes and I was blinded.

So that said enjoy learning how "I" use my border stamps for frames.

I'll post cards later today if I have a minute, enjoy a relaxing Sunday!

Photo Challenge from Glenda's Blog

Okay so this is the 6th folder in my pictures file, the 6th picture in that folder, yup it's a sizeways picture of detail I made on a Valentine card for Stampin & Scrappin Time and Prima this is a fun challenge, When I first looked in my file, I thought it was going to be a picture from pre-pregnancy days but I had downloaded them to my external hard drive so WHEW! That was lucky.

thanks for the challenge glenda! I'm not passing it on but I'll tell some of my friends about it, if you have a blog try it, you might be surprised what the image turns out to be.

Here's a card for Glenda, she's working, BUT, she's in Florida and I'm jealous! Glenda I hope you get a few moments to enjoy some sun!
Also here's some coffee cards I made for club tonight, these are the "extra" samples, not the cards we made!
from the coffe break clear set, but I loved adding the heart teabag string, yup a warm cup of tea with some sweet honey, one of life's simple pleasures

Christmas Coffee, Just thinking about how to use my "regular" stamps during the holidays!
Thanks Jen D for the Dunkin idea at our A muse Weekend, this one was a fun one to put together!

Oh Yeah I almost forgot in all the bachelor excitement

Two classes this weekend.
Just for friends and Hey cupcake - still some openings if you want to join me!



This card was made with the cupcake set and colored with Copic Markers, Just love that versatile cupcake set! Thanks Michele for the inspiration!

Did You See Bachelor Last Night?

I was there soon after that time and didn't even know it, I think? The leaves are more on the ground but last night they showed the exact spot where I snapped some photos in between Copic training and Lunch! WOW!

this is the boat they were on

This is me taking a picture of Glenda

Glenda taking a picture of me


And the stage of leaves, so I guess maybe about 2-3 weeks later. It seems like forever since I have been there so imagine how long it has been for the Bachelor!
