Another A Muse A Palooza Challenge

This time it's ribbon, check out the deets here

Here's my take on it. I had a few minutes extra today waiting for paint to dry.

All A muse images, I took the sheer orange ribbon and made a quick running/basting stitch and then pulled the strings tight adding a quick whip stitch to keep the ribbon in a little "puff".

Stamped flower branch with brilliance thyme ink and added copic colored twinkle to the other "buds". Just a note fit this card perfectly after Ipunched the edge to look like note paper (love that punch) Mounted on A muse kitchen orange 4 bar card.

I'm so behind on my ATC trades!

March "Winter Weeps"

April Wanted Poster "Wanted for writing x-rated fortunes"

May "Orca Beach"

June "Garden" Gardeners Know the Best Dirt

I've made them but haven't mailed them to my friends in Independence MO. Yikes, i think I better finish July before I put them in the mail, then maybe I'll be back on track?

Kitchen is coming together, still working hard and hoping to have the counter measured this week. We had to wait for the cabinets. Oh Well! Still working on making jam. I have the preservative (sure-jell), but need to get Strawberries, in between all the end of year school festivities.

Thanks you SWEETHEARTS

at Sweethearts Stamps & Stitches I had a great time at my classes yesterday!

I'll be posting another image soon but here's a tickler of the Christmas in JULY Class for July 16th at Sweethearts.


Julie Ebersole (HRR) did something similar last year with a different image but this is outstandingly simple and quick, you can get your cards done in no Time! See you on the 16th!

Camera Charged

And it's off to the races. Yesterday was a crazy busy day,

Laundry (I wanna stamp)

Recieve the last of the long awaited cabinets (but, hum, what...oh I know)

Trim hedges in front of house (something square for the challenge)

Paint last coat of trim for baseboard (but some type of folded card, not just square)

Off to LSS to "Plan Event" (totally focused on the stamping event)

Clean Garage of all house debris (what to use for the base card something new)

Carry trim into house from garage (YES! the new {gingham} papers)

Move baseboard heater covers from the garage to the porch (lots of images I could use)

Vaccuum heater covers (I'd like to use the RED gingham)

Move heater covers into the house (and yeah Black with it)

Start dinner (looking though stamps...)

Eat dinner (talk about shool, oh end of school oh yeah GRADUATION)

Hang Cabinets (I could make a money holder card!)

Riding in the car the the dumpster (Honey do you have a $20 that I can photo)

"WHAT are you talking about?", "I need a $20 dollar bill for my card.", "You mean a card cost you $20 is more like it." (he's smarter than he looks)

Kiss the kids goodnight and.......

TA DA!

I can't belive this card took all DAY!

HOW TO: Finshed size 3 x 3. Cut 8 1/2 x 11 sheet to a 4x9 sheet. score at 1 inch vertically for the fold to hold the $, then at 3 and 6 inches horizontally. A muse stamps used, graduate, grad cap, congratulations rm, splendiferous day. There you have it a money card or you could put a gift card in the center pocket too!

Have you ever made jam without a kitchen?

That's my plan this weekend if I can pull it off. This little berry has inspired me.

I love this berry stamp, on the inside I stamped i like you berry much! Also if you noticed, this is a little sneak of the kitchen cabinets. The final ones will be delivered on MONDAY! HOORAY! Then finally, moulding, and the finishing touches but countertop still a coupla weeks out.

I am teaching a class this Sunday "Let's Hear it for the BOYS" so all ya'll who need some manly cards come on in! They are pretty creative this time around with a little play on words.

Sunday 12:00-2:00

and Kards for Kids Sunday 2:00-4:00.
