Amuse Challenge #3!!

Here is the Third Card for the Amuse challenge!!
This challenge was to make a one layered card!! This one was a little tough at first, but once I got going it was fun!!! We could use Embellishments, just not paper layers.

I used the Amuse Beehive and the tiny Bee. The Funky Rectangle is also Amuse!! and the Sentiment too!!

It's hard to see, but the heads of all the bee's I put Tiny yellow Micro Bling on them. I think this card came out cute!!!

Thank you so much for looking!!!!

Amuse Pajama Party!! Challenge #1

YAY!!! The Amuse Pajama Party was so much fun tonight!! Everyone was great! and Everyones cards came out amazing!!

So here is the first card for Challenge number 1, The challenge was to make a card for a Celebrity Crush you have. My celebrity Crush is Adam Sandler!!!! hehe!! He is just so funny, and cute!!! I love all of his movies!!!

So what i did with the card is used the Cityscape Stamp, because Adam loves New York City, and lives there, and makes movies there all the time. So I thought this stamp was perfect!

I made a little road and used my Slice Machine to cut out the little buggy Car!! Thought that was so perfect!! hehe!
And i used the clouds stamp to add a little more to the card, and colored around them with light blue Copics. The buildings I used the W2 grey Copic marker on, I think this card came out really cute!!

Grunge Paper Roses!!!!!

WOW WOW WOW!!!!! I just took an amazing class at my LSS!!!! We learned how to make these Grunge Paper Roses!!! And holy cow!!!! They are amazing!!!!! I am loving these!!! They do take some elbow grease to put together, but it's totally worth it!!

The paper we got in class is beautiful! I can't remember the name of the paper company, I will try to find out later.
We also got to use a brand new, not even released in stores yet, Tim Holtz flower die, that is for Sizzix!!! it is awesome!!! And we got to use some new distress ink colors by Tim Holtz. They are soooo pretty!! Can't wait til they come out!!

After the roses were put together, we assembled everything onto a little canvas that we painted before we made the roses.
Once the roses were on the canvas, we added the bling!!!! Which I LOVE!!! I think it just came out super awesome!!!
I can't wait to expirement more with these, and come up with some of my own ideas!!!

Hopefully by this Sunday I should be more organized and have everything in it's place, and then be able to start making cards again!!!!
I havent made a card in almost 3 weeks!!!!! Thats a sin!!!!! LOL I am getting so antsy to start getting crafty again!!!

I was able to take a crafty class at my LSS, It was an artsy, drawing/doodling type class. The class was called, Zentangles. This type of art is sooooooo amazing!!!! I just love love love it!!!!!!!! I am so amazed at how much fun zentangles is and how relaxing it is, and also it is so much easier to do than it looks.

My Christmas cards/ Amuse Challenge Holiday cards!

YAY I had time to post my christmas cards!!! WOOHOO!!!

I made these cards for all of my pet sitting and dog walking customers!
I had this idea to use the Amuse stamps of course!!! hehe! And I really wanted to use the dog Spot, and have him wearing the tiny santa hat! Too cute!!

so this is what I came up with, I did something simple, so that it would be easy to make 30+ of them lol. I used up some of my christmas paper that I have had for 2 years, one of those paper packs. I am not buying those paper packs again, too much paper, and I never get to use hardly any of it LOL.

Thank you so much for looking!!! And I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy New Years!!!!!

Men/boy card swap!!

WHOAAAA I actually had time to make more cards, actually I didn't have a choice LOL!!! I signed up to do a card swap on the Amuse art stamps website, and the swap was to make manly cards or boy cards. They could be anything, birthday, hello, ect...
Let me tell ya, men/boy cards are not easy!!!! LOL I had to really think about what I was going to do, and figure out a certain layout for them.

I signed up for 2 spots in the swap, so I had to make 2 cards, 5 times each. Not too bad.

The first card I made was a little challenging, I knew I wanted to use the Pirate stamp by Amuse. I just wasn't sure how I was going to do the layout. I remembered on my Slice machine, I had a die cut of the Skull, so I knew right away I wanted to add that onto the card. I also had the word bubble on my Slice, So I figured I would use that to put the Sentiment in. Kinda cute!!! hehe! I also put 3 black buttons on the card, it's kinda hard to see in the pic.

The second Card I wanted to use the Amuse bomb, and You are Da Bomb sentiment. I really like these stamps, but never get the chance to use them.
I think this card came out awesome, I like the black and grey strips in the middle, and the inverted scallop circles, not too girly LOL. I used amuse Circles for the backround. I stamped the Sentiment on the inside of the card.

Thank you so much for looking!!!!

HOORAY!!!!!!!! A Christmas card!!

WOW!!!! I Finally made a card!!!! It's been like over 2 weeks!!!!! I can't believe I went that long without making a card!!! I'm not going to let that happen again!!! LOL!!!

SO, Here is a christmas card I made, The image is Memory Box, and so is the paper and sentiment!! I just love this christmas tree, super adorable. I just colored some of the swirls with red and green, and the clear ones I put icicle stickles on them, they came out really cute!!
I used my Nesties die to put the tree in, and I used a light lime green chalk around the tree, thought that would be pretty.
I added two snowflake brads to the card!
I just love love love this memory box sentiment!! sooooo cute!!!

Thank you sooooo much for looking!!!!

Tracy's ESS Sketch #60!!!!

YAY!!!! I did another sketch for Tracy's challenge!!! I missed out on last weeks sketch, I was so bummed. I haven't made a card for over a week!!!! I've just been crazy busy!! I am happy to be back, for a while.... lol.

This card came out cute, I used the Amuse stamp Squirrel with gift. This image is sooo cute!
I used my new cuddle bug embossing folder, the candy cane stripes! I love it!!!! I inked it up with some red ink and it came out super cute!!!
The green paper with the hollyberries on it is memory box paper. I used rickrack ribbon down the middle.
I figured I would add a couple of snowflakes on there.
I also used a nesties die to put the squirrel image on. I do love this nesties shape, it's awesome!!

Thank you so much for looking!!!!

Lots and Lots of x-mas/winter cards!!!!

Thank you for looking!!!!

Glenda's Random Amusing Challenge #43!!!

YAY!!! I finally made a card for one of Glenda's Challenges on http://www.paperssissorsrocks.blogspot.com/.

Glenda is always doing such fun challenges, but I never seem to get around to doing one, until now!!!! yay!!!

For this weeks challenge we were to "CASE" a card made by one of Amuses talented girls!! There are soooo many gorgeous cards to choose from, it was hard to choose.

I chose to "CASE" Lexi's card. Her card is posted on her blog: http://www.confetti.typepad.com/ It is such a pretty card, using some of Amuse's new card stock and stamps.

I changed the look a little bit, because I don't have the new flower Amuse stamp she used. So I thought of something a little different. But I kept all of the same colors and I used the same sentiment, and some pearls over the sentiment. I think this card came out super cute!!! I'm pretty proud of myself for making this card!! I'm getting better at cutting out images and paper piecing, I love it!!

The green leaves on the flowers are popped up by using 3D dots, I thought it was a cute idea to pop them out, so that they look like they are hanging over the fence.

All the stamps I used are by Amuse, and all of the paper is Amuse!

Thank you so very much for looking!!!!!

Amuse Challenge #9: Octoberfest!!!!

I used my new Amuse stamp: Pumpkin mouse.

The sentiment Trick or Treat is by Savvy stamps.

I bought some new Nesties dies!! The Orange scallop circle is one of the new dies I bought. I love it sooooo much!!

I also finally used my Sizzix Cobweb die. It is just the cutest thing!!

Of course I had to use my MS Drippy Goo punch!! I love it!!

Thank you so much for looking!!!!
