Mr. & Mrs.

My sister made this beautiful wedding card.

She puts so much detail into her work and her creations are just stunning. 

Thank you Shari for sharing your card with me.

a very simple card!

This is a clean and simple card to make.
I stamped the single image in blackberry ink on sugar cardstock.

 The sentiment was stamped in versafine and a sheer bow was added to finish it off.

I love amuse|studio inks!

The trio of inks was a customer order from a workshop....french roast, fern, and currant.

.....and what a great way to deliver orders....in an amuse|studio bag!

Thank You!

I made very simple thank you cards using the mad for plaids stamp set and the thank you mix stamp set. It is hard to tell, but I stamped lines with sugar ink going the opposite direction of the darker lines.

baby shower decor!

As "ewe" entered the walkway you were greeted by some friendly faces.

The baby washline consisted of some original baby clothes worn by the father-to-be and the

grandpa-to-be when they were little boys.

Martha had the room decorated with beautiful flowers and plenty of fleece and wool. Everyone was in awe over the darling cakes that she made and decorated.....they were delicious too!

Lauren, the mother-to-be,  is decorating the baby's room in sheep and the color green.

you make me smile.....

My sister sent me this thank you card. She can take a simple design and turn it into something wonderful. This is another favorite amuse studio stamp set.

expecting baby brown.....

Our nephew and his wife, Lauren, are expecting baby brown to arrive in September. Today is the baby shower and this is the gift I am giving. Inside the black box are the thank you notes I made for her that I posted the other day. I found the darling sheep at Hallmark and because they are doing the baby's room in sheep and moss green....it is perfect! The white photo box contains a fleece baby blanket, onesies, and sleepers. The onesies and sleepers have little sheep on them and are absolutely adorable. I trimmed the photo box in gingham and they can use it to hold special mementos. I made several tags to adhere to the packages I am looking forward to meeting baby brown in September!

Workshop Projects

This is one of the projects we did at our workshop on Sunday. You can hang it on a peg in your stamp room. Everyone did theirs with different patterned paper from amuse|studio and coordinated the colors with their room. It is not amuse|studio, but the stamp is a wood block from A Muse. Each "shop" name was printed out on the computer. We used glue dots to give it a bit of dimension.

In my post yesterday I mentioned that everyone chose a different stamp set to make their inchie card....this is one of them. I love the shades of colors that were chosen to make this card.

amuse|studio supplies:

marvelous marigolds stamp set

mad for plaids stamp set

Preparation for our amuse|studio workshop. 

What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon....with friends and a whole lot of stamping!

We started off  our workshop with a look at the amuse|studio products. I had planned on everyone making the inchie card pictured above, but with all the wonderful spotlight stamp sets and some favorites from the catalog, everyone decided to make a different one that suited themselves.....fabulous!

We had a wonderful time learning from each other and being creative.....thank you ladies!

baby thanks you!

These thank you cards are part of the gift for the baby shower next weekend. My favorite part of making these thank you cards are the little baby peeking out of the crib. The animal train is a nice touch to the envelope flap.

storage made easy.....

I found this tower at Big Lots over the weekend. It works perfectly to store the amuse|studio stamp sets. I put my clear stamp jewel cases on the back of this storage tower. It has a swivel base so I can turn it easily to find what I need. It was a great deal at $29.99 and some assembly is required.

They come in hot pink or black.
