CAS-ual Friday challenges focuses on the "Clean and Simple" style of card making.  They embrace the white spaces and the simplicity of cards.  I love A Muse Studio products because they too love the clean and simple look. 

My A Muse Studio business is off to a very good start and I want to be really good at what I do. What I challenged myself is to participate in challenges to let my creative juices flow and to get better at my trade.  These challenges are a great starting off point especially since I get to learn different techniques and go "out of the box".

For this challenge, we had to create a 4x9 card. I've never made a long and short card.  It took me a while to think of what I actually wanted to do. I even cut the cardstock wrong! It's okay tho.

 Karen Baker's Critters of the sea was so cute, I had to force myself not to use the a|s whale in "keep swimmin'". 

The cool thing about this challenge is that they have sponsors who gives away prizes.  Who can turn away from a chance to win cool stuff?  Bonus ~ Sweet!!! This week is Lawn Fawn, a company that sells cute clear polymer stamps.  The winner wins a $25 gift certificate from their company.  Check out their website:

Talk about awesome sauce! 

Happy TGIF, everyone and keep stamping!

Let Go and Let God...

So I've been going through some stressful and difficult times in my life recently. I wanna get married, find a home for us (I get to/want to buy things....), teach TFC (Teens For Christ) Discipleship, and go back to school. I'm just being a wuss. I pray that I can "Let Go and Let God" but I'm the kind of person asking "Lord, can you show me? What does that look like?" Dude, I don't know about you but I'm praying for the wrong thing. In church I'm taught to "Just pray about it". I got so stress out about life that I got sick about it. Just enough sick to put me through the ER!!! Anyway, my lesson learned: Pray for peace in my heart, what ever that looks like, just give me a "chill pill"....Lift this burden of heaviness off me. For me, I pray that I can chill and Trust Him-whatever that looks like. Although because I don't know what it looks like, I'm scared (heart skips a beat) of what it does look like! Does that m...

Simple card

Just a simple one tonight. I love stickles! No coloring on her dress, just stickles. I'm exhausted! Today was the first time ever that I've given blood. It wasn't all that bad! I may do it again, although I will definitely have lunch before I give. They did have yummy treats! Donate Blood, you'll be a true HERO.

Random Amusing Challenge # 19

Image
Here's my card for Glenda's weekly challeng e. This week was to use scraps. This was a fairly easy since I have tons of scraps! The only thing is new is the stamps, newly inked. Does that count? I hope so. Glenda, thanks for this challenge because I got a chance to clean and purge my scrap box! It needs more organizing but I got it down to three scrap boxes: large scraps, medium, and small-but-usable scraps. There were a lot of white card stock pieces that I could now use instead of using a new full sheet! A Muse: stamps: three cups, what's brewing, other: twinkle stars, paper: vintage red, card base: wausau classic cardstock.
