Just a super simple card today using one of my favorite stamps ever... the Love Bus. I have been working on some different ideas for my Christmas cards that I will share with you throughout the week.

I have been super busy these past few weeks! I did get to enjoy a relaxing weekend and will have lots of fun things to share this week.
Last week I was in Seattle with all of the fabulous A Muse gals...finally got a chance to go to the A Muse shop-heaven!
got to meet Donna (aka Frozen Stamper)
getting up early and learning new things...
spending time with these terrific roomies...
(Sherry, Glenda, and Beth)
and going to my first World Series Game (GO YANKS!)
seeing Alicia Keys and Jay-Z perform...
and celebrating a Yankee win with my hubby!
Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!
I am glad that Glenda extended her challenge another week! I finally had enough time to play along. This week's challenge was to make a card using red, purple, yellow and white. These colors made me think of something festive. I thought the drums would work perfectly with these colors...feels like a party!
A Muse stamps: Drum set, You rock

Here is my expression of gratitude for today using the monogram frames and classic alpha clear sets. It is a card set that I made for a friend "just because" (which in my opinion is the best reason to give a gift). I also took out my Scor-Pal and made the cute little box to give the cards in.

Just a quick and simple card for you today.
With the new shimmer papers and pearls, it is so easy to make a simple yet elegant card. For this card, I used the pink shimmer paper (my personal favorite) and stamped the solid chrysanthemum using pink and purple chalk inks and stamped the open chrysanthemum on top in a darker purple to match the blackberry shimmer paper it is mounted on.

This has got to be my favorite amuse-bouche so far!
I can't get enough of these shimmery papers, and the blues and greens have got to be my favorites. They are SO pretty! I used robin's egg blue and lime here, and my new favorite sentiment...thanks. Don't you just love the font? It will also be perfect for a manly card. For this card, I went girly with the ocean sheer polka dot ribbon and a few robin's egg blue pearls.

A Muse stamps: Leaf Frond, Thanks large
Here's a little harvest feast amuse-bouche for you today.
I love to have people come over for dinner, especially in the fall. There are so many great things to cook! Wouldn't it be nice send a dinner invitation in the mail, instead of just calling someone up to ask them to come to dinner? Here's a simple little card using the new flatware stamp. I embossed it with some clear embossing powder, and stamped the modern wood block stamp on top of it.
Don't forget to check out the A Muse blog and the rest of the Creative Team Member's blogs for even more of this harvest feast!
A Muse stamps: Flatware, Please join us, Modern wood block
Papers: Apple and Mango Shimmer paper, Mango Damask Shimmer Paper
All I can say is WOW! Here is the first sneak peek of the newest A Muse release...I could not wait to share this with you. Here is a card I made using the *NEW* shimmer papers, stamps, and pearls. These papers are truly fabulous, and I have a feeling I will be collecting quite a stash. Did you notice something else new under the sentiment? Chocolate pearls...Yummy!
Make sure you check out the A Muse blog and the rest of the Creative Team member's blogs today for some more amuse-bouche! I'll be back with another tomorrow.
A Muse stamps: Acorn, Beautiful autumn
My sweet friend Susannah just had a baby girl! When I saw this Earth Love paper from Cosmo Cricket, I knew it would be perfect to make a mini album for Baby Annabella...
This round album comes in its own little box, and I decorated it with paint and paper...
I personalized the cover of the book inside with her initial...
and here are a few shots of the album opened up...
I hope she likes it!
