Life is good.

I need to admit something. I say “dude” a lot. I use it all the time. When I get excited, I will say “dude…” instead of your name. It’s annoying from what I hear. I have a tendency to use it at inappropriate times too. Such as when I am talking to my dad. We will be at work and I might say something like, “Dude, did you see that check we go in?!?!?” It is soooooo unprofessional. I do it anyway.

As you can tell, I have been really busy working on my A Muse stuff. That is where “dude” comes in here. I swear this card makes me say ”DUDE!!!!” when I look at it. I love the A Muse Surfer. He begs to be cut out and popped up (IMO, what doesn’t though?).  You would die if you knew how many nights I sit around and cut little things, critters and people out. It’s ridiculous. I love cutting stuff out!

The note card is by A Muse, as are the image and sentiment. I used SU!’s Summer Sun and Yoyo Yellow for the sun. They are punched out with SU!’s 1 1/4″ and 1 3/8″ circle puches to make the “sun”.  

I am still trying my hand at a little doodling. I drew the “waves” with a SU! Basic Black Marker. The Surfer is stamped in Palette Noir Hybrid ink and the sentiment in SU! Summer Sun. He is watercolored with SU! WCW crayons.

Again with the cutting:

I couldn’t get a good shadow on this… it took several tries. I ended up needing to cut the A Muse take out box out for a better look. I stamped the images in Palette Noir Hybrid Ink and SU! Going Grey. All images are by A Muse. I covered the take out in Star Dust Stickles and X-mas Red Stickles. It is so pretty! The ribbon is some polka dot organdy from Michael’s.

I have a fun filled evening of plant watering to lookforward to! We haven’t had a lick of rain and my garden is suffering! Have a great night girls and stay tuned for more stamping!!!
