Today was the start of A*MUSE*A*PALOOZA and tonight was my first AP class at The Paper Tree. Thanks to everyone who came – it was completely sold out and we had such a great time. So many people brought food and snacks, there were make-n-takes and prizes – so fun! Here are a few pics of the fun!

Playing some Copic bingo. Me in the back- strategically hiding the pregnant belly 
We also played a game to see who could guess my due date. Someone guessed within a day!
Next Friday I have another class- this one will be gift packages and gift card holders. Some of the samples are up at The Paper Tree – class info is at the top of my blog. Hope to see you there!
Thanks again to everyone who came out – this was my first time teaching AP and it was a blast!
Only one more day until A*MUSE*A*PALOOZA !!! Yippeee!!!

Here’s my July calendar page. I just love using the spiral daisy as fireworks – so many ways to use that stamp. I put some colored stickles in the middle of each flower to add some bling. Gotta have bling for the 4th !
Only a few more days until A MUSE A PALOOZA!!!! Are you ready??? I’ve been busy getting some great things ready. Hope to see some of you at my AP classes!
A*MUSE*A*PALOOZA is almost here!!! All the fun starts today with contests and lots of giveaways!! Make sure to check the A Muse blog later today for some fun!
Is anyone still out there? I hope so! I’ve been crazy busy these last few weeks, and then ended up getting sick too – ugh! Nothing like being sick when the nice weather finally rolls around! Especially when I had all sorts of fun plans for sneak peeks!
Here’s my June calendar page – a little late, but at least it’s still June 
Here’s an update on the baby robin’s from my post a few weeks ago. They’ve all grown up and have flown out of the nest – all four of them! Too cute. Here’s some of the pictures we took. They changed so much in the course of two weeks, it was amazing.
Babies just born
All grown up! (the 4th one is squished under his brothers and hard to see)
AND you wouldn’t believe, but my husband now found a sparrow’s nest in a different shrub outside our front door! I have no idea how he finds these things, but he said he heard them peeping while he was out in the yard. They are harder to get to for pictures as the shrub is pretty dense but I’ll try to post some of those later this week. We have a bird book that says sparrows line their nests with hair, even landing on dogs to pull it off – ick! I’m pretty sure we’re going to find some of our dogs hair in that nest – hee hee.
Promise to be back with some card pictures later this week – a sneak preview of my summer fun class in June!
Here’s another serving of A Muse Bouche (aka sneak peeks) for you… this time it’s the summer release, and boy are these stamps good! Wait till you see them all, you’ll see what I mean! It’s hard to choose which ones are my favorite because they’re all so stinking cute
For this one I used the new palm tree silhouette, a new sentiment, and used an oldie but goodie- the big block. I stamped it with several Memento inks to create the sunset. Finally I added Copic Spica gold pen at the bottom for some sparkly sand.
Head to your LSS -they just might have these babies in stock already! If not, they’ll be available online May 27th!
Be back w/ more fun tomorrow!
All Images, notecard & ribbon – A Muse
Did you know A Muse is celebrating their 8th anniversary? They are having lots of fun and contests over on their blog. Head over there today to see my contest card and enter a chance to win all the A Muse supplies used for this card
A little late, but I was too busy having a great day to sit down and blog
Here’s the card I made for my Mom- a CASE of one I saw on the Savvy website. I just love this color combo. Embossing the black flower just makes it so much more elegant.
I love this sentiment from A Muse- so perfect.
I had a wonderful day with my family, and some beautiful weather. We spent the day picking out some annuals and moving around some plants so that we could have a flower bed in the front of the house. And look what my husband found in the Arborvitae in our front yard…. a beautiful Robin’s nest with 2 brand new baby birds and one unhatched egg.
The babies are hard to see, but we didn’t want to get too close. The blue egg is just gorgeous. At first I was afraid the mom wouldn’t come back because we had been digging quite close to her nest without realizing it. But soon we saw her watching us from the roof of our neighbor’s house. She kept flying back and forth – sitting on the fence post and the roof until we left the yard for a bit to give her time to get back to her little ones- so sweet
Happy Mother’s Day
Images- Background & Flower- Savvy, Sentiment- A Muse
Notecard- A Muse buttercup
Ink- Yellow Cadmium Chalk
Here is another in my background series. This one is my interpretation of a sample I saw in a store. I used one of my favorite Savvy backgrounds- the tile. I then stamped this Savvy birthday cake- popping the cake on some foam tape. I added some glitter at the bottom for a little sparkle. I also added one of my favorite A Muse sentiments- cracks me up. I think it’s retired though
