Here’s my class schedule for the next couple of months…

Learn how to make a calendar book the A Muse way- Think Simple, Think A Muse! A Muse has once again released a great customizable calendar with proceeds going to charity.

All classes are at The Paper Tree. Please call Michelle to sign up 603-624-8800. Hope to see you there!

November Calendar

Here’s my monthly calendar page for November.  This is another one of my favorite month’s because Thanksgiving is hands down my favorite holiday.  No stress, just family and good food :)

Gotta love the Tom turkey – he’s just the cutest :)

Wicked Halloween

Here is the card I made recently for the A Muse Addicts gathering at The Paper Tree.  We had so much fun chatting and crafting- my favorite thing to do!

It’s hard to tell, but the black background paper is glittered all over- it’s a sugar coated paper from Doodlebug Designs – one I love using for Halloween.   Tonight is my first calendar class at The Paper Tree.  If you missed this one, we’ll have a repeat in November.  See details at the top of my blog.

Have a great weekend!

Halloween Owl

Here’s a quick Halloween card I made recently.  Would you believe this was a $1 stamp I found at a big box store last year?   This was the first time I used it, and used some A Muse paper to paper piece it for a bit more interest.  I also added some Martha Stewart black glitter and diamond glaze on the eye.

A Making Memories star button from last year finished it off.  Today was SOOO fun- we had the A Muse Addicts gathering at The Paper Tree.  Of course, I forgot my camera, but much fun was had.  Heather even stopped by for a bit to visit -yay!

We finished out the day by going to an outdoor showing of It’s a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown on a huge inflatable movie screen – so fun!

enjoy :)

A Muse Calendars

It’s that time again – time for my A Muse Calendar class, where we’ll be making a 2010 calendar.  These make great gifts, and we’ll be using some of the new yummy shimmer papers (as well as a good mix of the other papers) and a couple of the new stamps!  Here’s a sneak for you….

This one uses the new woodgrain block stamp (my favorite!) and the acorn stamp.  It also has the new chocolate shimmer paper which is so much prettier than my photo shows.   Here’s another month using the pink shimmer paper:

Details on the class are at the top of my blog- hope to see you there!

Sneaky cats

This card has a surprise inside…..

a cute pop up cat that I thought went perfectly with this sentiment :)

I used some silver fox Smooch on the moon to make it stand out.

Have a great weekend!

Boris & Bernice

Boris & Bernice are some of my favorite A Muse Halloween images.  I couldn’t resist adding them to this spinner card.  We’ll be making this card in my class tonight!

Halloween Treats

This is one of the treat bags we’ll be making in this Friday’s class- Slick Tricks & Sweet Treats.  We’ll be making 3 treat containers and 2 interactive cards using some of my favorite A Muse Halloween images.

Details on the class are listed at the top of my blog- hope to see some of you there!

Calendar, Images, Patterned Paper – A Muse Artstamps

Channeling my inner Martha…

I sometimes like to pretend that I am just like Martha, and imagine that my projects will come out to look just like hers.  This never really works out the way I plan, but I carry on anyway.  Her Halloween projects are just about the coolest around.

Today Ryan and I decided to tackle one of my favorites- glittery pumpkins.

We used craft pumpkins from the craft store, and lucky for me Martha’s glitter (the best ever) was on clearance too.  Good thing cause we used a ton!

I decided to do this project outside since I knew it was going to get messy (and it was so gorgeous outside), but of course the wind blew every time I went to glitter something.  I am now covered in black & glow in the dark glitter :)

Ryan went for the glow in the dark glitter (which was unfortunately NOT on sale).  It came out so cool, although a little blotchy in places.  3 year olds (and Mom’s) aren’t as good at getting even coats of glue as Martha is.  It’s very cool in the dark, and we can’t wait to put it outside on Halloween night.  Hard to see in the picture but we tried to get a shot of the glow…

Have a great weekend!
