It's a Shout Out

Yep!  I'm givin' a "Shout Out" to 2 of my favorite stampin' friends -- Jenn and Samantha!  What's so cool is that they've started a new Challenge Blog - Perfect Sentiments Challenge!  So if you're looking for a fun challenge on Wednesday's stop by and check it out!   This week the challenge was to use lace and come up with a sympathy card.  Fortunately I don't need one right now but it will be good to have one in the stash.  The sketch is from this week's Freshly Made Sketches #5.  I always enjoy getting out the A Muse Studio Shimmer paper out.  Supplies:  All A Muse Studio - Paper:  Latte Woodgrain,  Ocean Shimmer, Ocean Shimmer Damask, French Roast Shimmer;  Stamps:  life is a song;  Ink:  Ocean, French Roast;  Flowers: Meadow Mix

Still Playing with Green

LOL!  I know, I know ... I need to get these beautiful Amuse "Green" scraps used up or off my desk!  They're just so pretty and hard not to pick up and play with when they're out.   I think I'm getting the hang of "CAS" cards as my new Amuse Studio Supplies lend themselves to this style.  I never thought I'd use the woodgrain paper that Samantha shared with me but I've found it fun to add however the Kraft is still my fave so far.  I'll have to come back and edit my post with an update on where I found this card sketch.  The French Roast Shimmer and Organdy Dot ribbon work so well with these greens.   All supplies Amuse.  Supplies:  Amuse Stamps life is a song, Amuse Paper Gingham, Shimmer Damask, French Roast Shimmer, Amuse Ink Grass, French Roast, Amuse Twinkle, Amuse Blooms

Thinking of You

These lovely products were still laying on my desk from creating my card for the Amuse Challenge Blog inaugural Challenge.  The Amuse greens are lovely shades, all of them are my favorite.  The branch cut out was the one I used on my last card, just using the reverse.   This "Thinking of You" card is for a friend of mine, she's going through a rough time.   I used the Mojo Monday #205 sketch.   Supplies:  All Amuse - Paper Grass Shimmer Couture, Grass Gingham, Grass Shimmer Damask, French Roast, Stamps Life Is A Song, French Roast Organdy Dot Ribbon, Bakers Twine, French Roast Buttons, Butterfly Die, Twinkle

Note of Thanks

This must be my week of Thank You Cards because here's another!  This one is made with new Amuse Goodies I received participating in a paper swap.   The great part of this swap is that you get multiple colors of paper that you would not get otherwise.  The background is Amuse damask shimmer couture, so very pretty.  The stamp is a gift from a friend, isn't it CUTE?  Of course, this card is for her.  The buttons are yummy French Roast buttons ... The sketch is this week's Mojo Monday #203.   I can't believe I finished it on the same Monday it was posted! Yay!
