MFT and Elzybells

Here are two more cards that I created for LJ's swap on SCS.  I went crazy with the Elzybells last summer when Elizabeth closed up shop and have yet to ink up all of them!  I know you can relate.;)  I sign up for swaps just to force myself to use my supplies.  Somehow, I am always scrambling to get them done at the last minute no matter when I sign up...sigh...This girl is all set for summer. 

Supplies:

Stamps: Elzybells UK

Ink: Memento Black colored with Copics

Paper: Stampin' Up! Wild Wasabi and Groovy Guava, Cloud 9 Design DP

Other: Prima flower, gem, Nestabilities

Here is the My Favorite Things card that I created.  I used the Who's That Musical Girl? set and killed two birds with one stone.  My younger ones had their piano recital this weekend, and I made up a few extras to give to their teacher.  I was in a hurry when I took this photo, so it slightly out of focus.  Of course I didn't notice until I gave all the cards away.  Sorry!!

Supplies:

Stamps:  MFT Who's That Musical Girl?

Ink: Memento Black colored with Copics

Paper: SU! Basic Black and Real Red

Other: Ribbon from Michael's, MFT musical die, Nestabilities

Thanks for stopping by!

All supplies used are from A Muse Studio.

A Muse Studio June Blog Hop!

Happy June!  I know it's been a while, but I have been stamping...just not posting.;)  Today is the day for our A Muse Studio Blog Hop.  You should have arrived here from Laurie's blog.  If not, you can go back to the beginning at Samantha's blog.  This month's theme was to create your own patterned paper.  Coincidentally enough, I had created these card fronts for a swap on SCS.

The background was created using various stamps from A Muse Studio's Clever Girls set.  I love how these turned out, and I can't wait to see what the other ladies in the swap created.  Thanks for looking!  Now, head on over to Anna's blog to see what's up next in the blog hop.

Supplies (all from A Muse Studio):

Stamps: Clever Girls
Ink: Buttercup, Orange, Shell

Paper: Vanilla, Buttercup, Orange

Dies: Swallows

Other: Diamond glitter
