Life is good.

I am curious what you all think of this A Muse Ambassador contest? Are you participating? Following someone else’s journey? Let me know what you all think!

So, this weeks A Muse-A-Palooza challenge is NO BLACK INK… easy, right? WRONG! I had a heck of a time, but came up with 2 cards that are pretty cute, if I do say so myself…

 This first card is A Muse’s Tire Swing stamp. I used Pallet ink in Burnt Umber and watercolored it with WCW crayons.

The card base is Pixie Pink and the polka dot paper is SU! Designer paper. The tree is stamped on Shimmer White, the scallop is Old Olive, the base, Pixie Pink. The faux stitching was added to the bottom and the piercing to the ovals for added “oomph”. The sentiment, Have a Beautiful Day, is stamped in Old Olive.

I adore the music player stamp- so flippin’ cute!!! The base of this card is Gable Green and the SU! Aida cloth BG is in Pink Passion craft and embossed with glassy glaze. As usual, I stamped the main images on Shimmer White in Green Galore, Pink Passion and Brilliant Blue. I colored them in with Pixie pink, Ballet Blue and Gable green. I added Stickles to the dials to liven them up. The ribbon is organdy from my stash ‘o ribbons.

Please, run over the A Muse-A-Palooza website and register… tell them Andrea sent you!!!

I am going to post twice today (shock!). Today is Gotta have it Tuesday and today’s item involves a MAJOR procurement (Hi CPD!!!) on my part…

I was at AC Moores over lunch and the hit the jackpot big time: They had a whole bunch of A Muse stamps!!!

**ETA** I had emailed Linda @ A Muse yesterday and I had mentioned that there wasn’t a place in central PA to get A Muse stamps… boy was I wrong!! Today was the best craft store day ever! *sigh* 

As you can see from my super ghetto looking picture from my camera phone (I am blogging from work, LOL). Don’t you just love the blurry in the front, focused in the back??

 I basically picked up every single one I could! They even had a few sets of acrylic stamps! I also got some MSE! Acrylic stamps and some Junkiz Salsa Celebration bling. I was flipping out!!!  I like A Muse stamps because they are such fresh and clean images. Their sentiments are to die for… I just love them all!

This is a short post, but I want you all to go to A Muse or your LSS, or where ever and get some A Muse stamps! Then, join my ATC swap on here or SCS *wink*.
