I made this last week, too! It is part of the new Papillion set. I originally was going to make it much more complicated, but the simplicity made me happy. I know that this is a set that will be getting a lot of love in this house!
Supplies Used:
I LOVE this set! It is the Let’s Be Adventurers set that is from the new A Muse Studio catalog. It has several landmarks and makes me think of my sister – as one of her biggest joys was traveling! I just lost her in December, so I will have to admit that it has barely sunk in.
My eldest son & I are trying to come up with an affordable / awesome trip to celebrate his graduating high school this year. He is awesome & deserves a great trip! I am currently unemployed – but we will make a decision once I find a job. I do think that the passports will be involved!
Where would you go? Why? Seriously, let me know in the comments below!

I am so very sorry little bloggy that I have been ignoring you. You see, I have this sinus infection – and it has made me a bit to “foggy feeling” to post. I have not gotten so sick that I needed to curl up in bed with some chick flicks and hot tea – but, well, it has left me feeling a bit unmotivated. And a little spacier than normal. (yikes!)
But, I have made a few cards to share with you, when I went to craft with a friend of mine last week.
I mostly case’d this card from the A Muse Studio 2012 catalog. Sure, I changed a few things and added the fabulous silky crush ribbon…But, let’s just say that I was “Heavily Inspired” by the catalog. (ha, heavily – elephant!)
Below is the picture from the catalog that I fell in love with. It is from the set, Under the Big Top. It is adorable!! (and no scary clowns!!)

Yep. A second blog post in one day! You should feel special!
The Hammock card that I posted earlier, was really made yesterday…if that makes a difference. So, in trying to keep up with my goal of 2 challenge cards, I did another challenge over a SplitCoast Stampers. This was Color Challenge, #360 – White, Island Indigo & Pool Party. Well, of course, I had to do the switcheroo & use my A Muse Studio Colors, white, ocean & bermuda.
So, the dog & the chair are by Eat Cake Graphics. Adorable, aren’t they? I used daubers to apply both the Bermuda ink (top color) and the Ocean ink to the Harlequin A|S background stamp. I fussy cut the chair from A Muse’s now discontinued Bermuda Polka Dot Cardstock. (Quick – you can still get it at my online store thru February 29th 11:59 est).
I had a happy discovery with the dog. I decided to outline the stamped lines of the dog with my W2 Warm Gray Copic – to help define him. I blended it with the colorless blender & it really seems to have brightened him up! I am not sure if you can see much of the Grey, but check out the tail – you can see it! Don’t’ you love a “Happy Accident?”

So, I stepped away from the blog last week – life was getting in the way. I was busy working on taxes, and starting the FAFSA, so that the oldest boy child can go to college in the fall. Scary!
I jumped back into card making with another challenge from Splitcoast Stampers. This Clean & Simple (# 155) challenge was inspired by a picture on a jigsaw puzzle. It is a very pretty picture of a house by a lake. Colors were greens, with pops of reds & yellows.
So, I wanted to bring you both a scene of serenity and play with the red and yellow against the green. The tree & hammock stamp is a discontinued stamp by the original A Muse Artstamps. Fabulous, huh? Yep. It was one that I cannot part with yet. The Grunged Sunray is a current stamp by A Muse, that I used 3 of the new Venetian colors with my daubers. Loving them! Made grass with Washi tape.
