I love the soft look of this card.....

I stamped the scripted background in Seattle ink on Pebble cardstock.  Then I matted that on Seattle cardstock.  I used the new word window dies to cut a window and stamped thank you on the interior of the card showing through the window. I added our new Silky Crush ribbon and Viola!

Today over on the Amuse Studio Challenge Blog we are showcasing cards that use wind.

All I know is that March has BLOWN by!!!

It's been a very busy, fun, and profitable March for me.

There are only a few days left to get in on all of the Amuse Birthday Specials ... Contact me if you want to get in on these and place an order.

For this card I used the Vintage Amuse Stamp set and paired it up with my cloud die (a must have), sky gingham cardstock, sage green cardstock, and stitched gingham ribbon.

This week on the A*Muse Studio Challenge Blog,

 we were supposed to be inspired and challenged by this photo:

How do you think I did???  I love scallop rectangles ... so that was easy ... 

brown and pink and white is one of my favorite combos ... so throw a little blue in there .. 

Viola! (and Bob's Your Uncle!)

What a whirlwind of a week!

Last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday ... Marisa Alvarez, Jenny Ban, and I were spreading the word about a*muse studios and what a GREAT job we have!

We talked to hundreds of people, sold product, talked about having parties, and talked about becoming one of us!  It was a great show!

Here is our table for the Make and Take Night.  We did a great card featuring The Scoop Stamp Set.  It also featured our washi tape, glue pen, and diamond glitter.

Here was our table to the side where we offered cash and carry of washi tape, glue pens with glitter, the Scoop stamp set, and our catalog.

Here is our booth ... we loved how it turned out!!!  We had sample cards and all of our die cuts displayed.

Over at the Amuse Challenge Blog we have been challenged to make a Birthday card for the Boys!

I really have been wanting to use the Under the Big Top Set for a while now.  It made a great "boy" card.

I colored the ringmaster with my copics and then paper pieced all of the balloons.  I used the Ocean Metallic cardstock for the balloons which gave them a lot of shine.

Speaking of Birthdays ... Dont' forget that a*muse is having a wondeful Birthday Celebration where you get all of the Gifts!  Contact me for more details and/or to place your order!

This card was made for my friend and old co-worker Carmen.

I used Beautiful Botanicals with our wonderful satin ribbon, a sympathy sentiment, and some bling.

Carmen was married to Ryan.  Ryan had the cubicle directly across from mine at Abbott.

Ryan passed away last week from cancer at the age of 35 with 3 kids (3,5, and 7).

Ryan was such a great and wonderfully, optimistic guy.  

He always had such a wonderful smile on his face.

Here is a cute pic of him and Carmen.

Ryan was one of the biggest MSU fans that I have ever known. 

Here's a pic of Sparty for you Ryan....

You will be missed!  I will keep Carmen and your kids in my prayers!
