Halloween is Tomorrow!

Are you ready? I'm not. Not quite. I have pumpkins, candy and costumes, but all the Halloween Fun is drained. I think I lost it in all my classes this year.

And now I've moved onto Mums, shimmer paper, and Fall Festivities.
A muse onyx black, lime green, oak leave and autumn splendor.

I had to try this new coloring technique we learned out in Seattle, I just love the depth you get with pencils with this technique. so fun. I'll be teaching it at a class this January so stay tuned.

So who's heard of smooch? The paper with happy birthday is the same paper as the background card, a muse shimmer damask couture paper. ( I'm in love with this paper) I bought gobs of it so we will most definitely be using it in upcoming classes. Anyway, I spritzed the paper with smooch and voile' a pink damask background. LLLLLOOOOVVVVEEEE IIITTT!

and last but not least, I love my "X" xyron sticker maker, I ran it though with the colored side of the mum down and then adhered glitter to the sticky side. YUMMO! shiny, glittery flower with tons of sparkle! Another beauty to behold.

I like when it rains, I can't garden AND what else do you do on a rainy day STAMP!

See you all next week at Sweetheart Stamps for a Fabulous Holiday class using the new winter clear set and for the rest of you I'll see you at Paper Dolls of Saratoga for 2 classes on the 7th! Whoo! Hoo! can't wait. If you haven't signed up yet there might still be room and by the way Paper Dolls is in a fabulous area for SHOPPING!

New iPhone and learning curve

Trying to learn how to use it and post onto the blog from it, just got the title in and then couldn't figure the rest out.

Heading to Seattle for some training and visits with the A muse gals, planning on having some good laughs and learning from all the other A muse girlies! :) Also Reminder, $ is due for the last copic club meeting scheduled for November 15th. Please call the store if you have any questions. I am trying to work up a continuation for the club adding in accessories and so forth, I'll have the details at club.

AND for those of you that missed the first one, please join us for the second round, a new club begins in January and what a wonderful gift to ask for from your special someone!

One last thing, here's a card you'll make if you join me in Saratoga at Paper Dolls on November 7th 2009, call the shop to get signed up Paperdolls of Saratoga

A muse Bouche - Gratitude

This is such a quick card but I love the way it turned out, of course the colors seem so much more vibrant in real life. I stamped everything on white paper, maple leaf in grape jelly and ladybug red, wood grain in rich cocoa all ink memento, then colored the paper with copic I think Y21 then flipped the paper over and colored on the back so the color would bleed through YG23 and YR16. LOVE IT!

I am thankful...Thankful for Copics, A muse Releases and Fall. Probably three favorite thing high up on the list! :D And check the a muse blog, WHOO ! HOO! is all I can say!

a muse bouche - fall flourish

Pink Shimmer Damask is just georgeous,

I used the marvy pink circle scallop punch for the black shimmer border,

the blue marvy circle scallop punch for the Thanks frame.

The frame and words are two new images from the clear monogram set. Last but not least the open crysanthemum stamped in silver brilliance. Looks like another patterned paper.

The opening of the card is on the edge of the pink shimmer damask.

Thanks for looking!

A muse Bouche - Mother Earth's Harvest

This release offers this tender sympathy message, a stamp I was in real need of. I am in awe over the papers still.

The blue is just so lovely, I think it's my favorite which is a big stretch for me I'm usually a green lover.

Super shimmery shine reflected in this photo.

I punched the border with an ek punch and stamped with brilliance thyme.

This picture shows that I made a pocket on the inside for a coffee card so our guests and enjoy their drive to our dinner. (the light reflects the shimmerliciousness of this paper) :)

Autumn A muse bouche!

Can you believe it? It's that time again! A muse has another FABULOUS release! Check out all a muse bouches at A muse.

The images for this release are so elegant and posh! Fall is in full swing and the new paper colors are super shimmery. The elegance of pearls adds a beautiful touch and of course I need to add a little metal so the industrial cottage look comes through on this card.

Grass Damask is in the background ( couldn't get the photo color just right, but it's super shimmery and yummolicious)!
