Life is good.

I totally missed the first challenge for the A Muse Ambassador!! But I am playing catch up here…

This first challenge was for us to use only black ink in our stamping, we could color stuff in though. This 5.5 x 4.25 Bashful Blue Base is featuring A Muse’s Splendiferious Day sentiment. The scallop is Gable Green and the main image is A Muse’s Patch on the Tree Stump stamped on Shimmery White.

All ink is Palette Noir Hybrid Ink. I watercolored Patch, the Tree Stump and background with SU! Watercolor Wonder Crayon’s. Patch is popped up with foam tape-he really look like he is sitting up there!

I hope you all enjoy my A Muse-a-palooza adventure over the next few weeks, don’t forget to go to A Muse and register for the weekly drawings, and don’t forget to tell them Andrea Bentz sent you!!!

Who dosen’t love A Muse stamps? If you don’t you’re crazy! They are super fun images and they have the best sentiments! This year marks the 2nd A Muse-a-palooza for Linda and her gang at A Muse. I learned this over at Jennifer Pebbles blog.

To kick off A Muse-a-palooza, there is a contest for an A Muse Ambassador. I figure I have as good a chance as anyone, right??? So, part of the criteria is to host a swap. I am hosting and participating in an A Muse swap… I would like to do ATC’s (artist trading cards, great tutorial at SCS here: ATC’s). I have 10 spots to fill, and will open a 2nd round if need be.

Here’s the skinny on swapping rules:

1. 10 ATC’s - you get 10 back total (that includes 1 of your own)
2. The use of at least 1 A Muse stamp is required, you can use other manufacturers too, but A Muse is a MUST!!!

3.  2 or more layers
4.  One embellishment (brads, ribbon, stickles, etc.)

Swaps are due by Friday June 8th- NO EXCEPTIONS
I will swap them on Saturday, June 9th and they will go postal on June 11th.

Additional tips:

-Don’t forget to sign and number each of your ATC’s.

-Include a SASE for me to return them to you, with one extra stamp just in case, I will return it if I don’t use it

- NO meter strips (Jami taught me this)

-Package all ATC’s in a baggie to protect it from the weather during it’s postal journey

-Email me at the contact me button, to ensure your spot and I will email you my info from there

Feel free to ask me any questions!
