Monday Moments
Tonight it was quiet around my house. It was time for my DS to move back to college. This year he's living in an apartment off campus so he was especially excited to get there and get moved in. My DH and other DS drove with him since we had furniture for him so when I got home from work - it was just "ME TIME"! Not that my family really bothers me in the scrap room but there's just something different about having the house to myself for awhile, it rarely happens. Today was the launch of the Amuse Challenge Blog and the Challenge for this inaugural week was to use Glitter. Not something I use too often however last week at the Amuse On The Road Event, we did one card where we used it and it wasn't so bad. My favorite part of this card however is the branch I cut with my new Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge from CTMH. The Amuse Shimmer Paper cut so beautifully. I love how the branch turned out. I used the Sketch from this week's Viva La Verve. I was thinking of my DS when I made this card because him and I had a wonderful time out on a "date" Sunday together. I will miss him! Supplies: All Amuse - Paper: Shimmer Couture CS French Roast, Grass; Latte Woodgrain, Grass Gingham, Stamps: On The Wing, Ribbon: French Roast Organdy Dot; Buttons: Grass, French Roast; Ink: Grass, Papaya, French Roast, Glitter

This is a truly spectacular card!! Plus, I feel ya on the kid off to college bit. Our oldest is a junior this year. He's in NOLO we're in CO. I hate it. I wonder if I'll ever get over missing him so much. On a happier note, thanks so much for playing in our first ever a|s Challenge!
