A Muse Challenge and Swaps

They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said, "NO! NO! NO!"

This is another entry for the A Muse challenge to make a card inspired by music! I was listening to Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" and thought I just had to use that as my inspiration. I used Margarita because they don't really makes stamps for her, ahem, other...vices. Anyway, onto the card:

All stamps by A Muse. I paper pieced the top of the cup and added some stickles as the "salt".



The next two cards are for swaps at the A Muse lounge. I haven't participated in a swap in forever, it's fun to play again! I hope the recipients enjoy them!

Dude, I made this card in FIVE minutes, and while holding a cranky baby! There are twinkle stickers in the flower centers.



The card below is a pale plum color, but my camera really washed out the color.

The square is punched out, the chick is on the inside of the card.

None of these are CASE'd, but the influence of Julie Ebersole is pretty undeniable! I used several elements that I picked up from her classes, and from the hours I've spent enjoying her gallery and blog.

All stamps by A Muse: Margarita, Make Margaritas, Harlequin, Micro Oval, Tall Grass, Little Flower, Happy Birthday Mix, Little Chick, Happy Bird-Day, Micro-oval

A Muse black ink, copics, and SU! plum, carribean, red, celery, and sky. Stickles, A Muse ribbon, A Muse twinkle stickers. A Muse notecards and PTI white c/s.

Krystie - I just scrolled through a whol epage of you rblog and I had to tell you - I LOVE everthing I saw! I just love your style, Girl! It is so different from mine - stuff I could never make (without totally CASEing), but I so appreciate it and I just wanted to tell you. I'm not very good at keeping up with everyone's blogs, so glad I stopped by here this morning!
