Weekly Challenge #53: Let's Celebrate!!

This weeks challenge over at A*Muse is to make a card that celebrates something. Since I just finished a swap card for the month of July...I thought I would enter this Birthday card.

I love this little girl on a swing...so care free. I did a bit of masking just to see if I remembered how to and it worked! Can you just imagine yourself on a nice sunny summer day out in the yard...grass and flowers ....just swinging the day away. This is how I think all birthday's should be celebrated....very care free.
I colored the images with my prisma pencils and blended with gamsol. I added stickles for a pop of sparkle on the flowers...not sure if they show up to well on the scan. I made a little pocket behind the green CS to slip a sentiment that was stamped on a tag.

Let's Party!

I am sooo addicted. *grin* Addicted to A*Muse Addicts! I just love the clean and simple style of the A*Muse (and Elzybells) stamps. I actually post, shop and do challenges all in the name of stamping. *grin* This Saturday August 2nd. at 8PM CST is a big meeting of A*Muse addicts. Since we can't meet in person we are having a VMAA (Virtual Meeting of A*Muse Addicts). Now what do we do at a VMAA you ask? There will be challenges that we have to complete in 30 minutes using a theme. And what's a party without prizes! This is tons of fun and I'd like to invite you all to join us this Saturday evening...so Let's Party!!!

Helle's Challenge

I have another challenge card to share with you tonight. Be sure to check out Helle's blog for the details. Basically we had to do a black/white card with a splash of pink and a bit of bling. I think I accomplished the challenge with this card. I used A Muse gondola image and colored it with my pink prisma pencil and added some bling with SU! pink gemstone brads. I ran the white CS through the devine swirls (for water) cuttlebug embossing folder. The image is backed with a scalloped black oval. Very simple card. I've never seen a pink gondola before...but guess there is a first for everything! *grin*

Polka Dot Challenge

There is still time to register!

You know something....you all could be having as much fun as I am over at A-Muse-A-Palozza. There is still time to register and have fun with all the great challenges. Oh did I forget to mention all the fantastic prizes that they are giving away?!?! Lots and lots of A Muse stamps and products! Now what are you all waiting for....go register. And don't forget to mention that I (Nancy Lucas) sent you! Enjoy!

Today's card is what I came up with for Michelle's Challenge. This was another fun challenge...had to use Polka Dots. As you probably have been wondering why I use a lot of A Muse yellow kitchen note cards in my projects....that's the only A Muse paper I have! *grin* Really need to place another A Muse order. *cha ching* (sound of my Visa being used)

I just love how this card came out! I ran the blue cs through my swiss dots cb folder then backed that on a nice yellow cs and added just a strip of A Muse yellow kitchen for a pop of polka dots. The Seattle Girl stamp was colored with PrismaPencils and blended with gamsol. I then punched the image with my 1 3/8" SU! punch and backed with the SU! scallop punch. I added yellow glaze dots to the scallop. Added some yellow/white polka dotted ribbon I received from a ribbon share.
Someone on another board mentioned this card reminds her of the girl on the salt container. *grin* I think she's right!
