A Muse PJ Party - Challenge #4

WOW! I've said it before and I'll say it again... A Muse PJ Parties are the fastest TWO hours of my life!

Here we are to Challenge #4...

Our host is Glenda Wyatt...

Her challenge is make a card using ONLY RED, WHITE, and BLACK.

Hmm, seems that most of my cards tonight are that color!

Here's my card:

Seems like I've made a similar card with this stamp before. Maybe. Anyway, I like the color combo. Stands out.

All products by A Muse.

Okay, that's it! I hope you had a good time. Be sure to check out the lounge for links to everyone else's creations tonight!

A Muse PJ Party - Challenge #3

And here we are to challenge #3...

That's ME! I'm the hostess for this challenge. If you read my blog earlier this week, I was rambling on and on about how I'm trying to redefine my style... so I made my challenge one that CHALLENGED me...

CHALLENGE: Create  a ONE LAYER card...

Okay, so I made TWO... but I like the white one better. Which do you like?

Do you like the heart shaped mini flowers?

    

So, there you have it... a ONE Layer card!

Ready for the LAST challenge? Stay tuned...

A Muse PJ Party - Challenge #2

And here we are ... challenge #2...

Have no idea what I'm talking about... logon to the amuse lounge!

Challenge # 2 is brought to you by one of our newest DT members... Krystie Lee

Her challenge: make a card for your best friend

My bff and I have this thing about lady bugs. Probably because that was the first stamped card we fell in love with at our first Stampin' Up! party. And that's how it all began...

So, here is my card. I used the A Muse small polka dot alphabet set (clear) and then the tiny lady bug. Why are lady bugs so darn cute?

I put diamond glaze on each of the lady bugs to properly dress them ;)

See?

On to challenge #3... OOH that's mine ....

A Muse PJ Party - Challenge #1

It's time again for a fun night of stamping... get your pjs on, log in to the lounge, and get ready to stamp! Four challenges, 30 minutes each... REMEMBER THINK SIMPLE, THINK A MUSE

READY, SET, GO....

First up, the hostess of all hostesses, my dear friend Jennie Moczan...

Her challenge: Make a card inspired by your celebrity crush!

Well, I know you all have guessed RPatz is my celebrity crush but he's not, actually. Yes, I like him but I really want him to be with KStew, not to mention I'm old enough to be his mom! So, I dug a little deeper and realized my crushes from my teenage years have ALL turned to be losers in their older age. Humph. So, okay, back to the drawing board.

I would probably pick Johnny Depp. But I didn't want to make a pirate card. That's a movie inspiration.

So FINE. Alright. My celebrity crush card is not Rob Pattinson but Edward. Edward is a celebrity, right? He is an action figure, so he MUST be...

I used a "new to me" product on here. Smooch Spritz in clear and Cherry Ice. I *LOVE* them. I got 11 colors when I was up in Seattle. And um, yeah, broke them open today. It's only been 3 months...

The white heart has the clear sprayed on it and the cherry ice is the red heart. But the red heart is actually white cardstock so the spray coverage is excellent!

All A Muse images, ribbon, and notecard

Here's a closeup of the spritz but it's hard to see the shimmer and sparkle... edward HAS TO SPARKLE...

On to the next challenge....

A Muse PJ Party - Challenge #4

And here were are... the quickest 2 hours of my life is coming to an end. Just another 30 mins... and here is challenge #4

Brought to you by Rhonda: create a thank you note

I was visiting my mom the other day and she had a store bought card (shocking!) that someone sent to her. I failed to take a picture of it but it was stunning. Chocolate brown, white, and yellow and flowers. So I tried to do that..

I really like the result. And may have to make a stack of these for my *stasH*. My stash is a imaginary thing but in theory it is a good idea.

So, that sums up a worldwind of 2 hours of stamping. What did you come up with?

My apologies for stamping during the longhorn game. :) And thanks to all of you who told me about it! SHEESH!

Thanks for stopping by.

A Muse PJ Party - Challenge #3

And here we are challenge #3. Go to amuseartstamps.com and then to the lounge to join in the fun!

My challenge is to: Create a card based on your favorite TV Show/series that starts up this Fall. This could be a new show or a returning one!

About a month ago, my DH and I got hooked on Heroes. We watched all 3 seasons on netflix in about a week ... and er, um, stayed um WAY to late! The season premiere starts MONDAY and the DVR is set!

So, here's my card for that challenge:

This is using the new A Muse slate notecards and the A Muse globe stamp!

Does it look similar to this:

And that brings us to challenge #4 ...coming up....

A Muse PJ Party - Challenge #2

Okay, time for challenge #2... Remember to check out the a muse lounge and find out what's happening!

This challenge is courtesy of the lovely Jen D! 

Her challenge is to create a card using Fall Colors! And here is my card:

This card uses the new paprika notes! I used my autumn spectrum ink pad and the A Muse big block stamp to make the background.

I love 5 min quickie cards!

Bring on the next challenge!

Now, on to challenge #1. This challenge is brought to you by Jennie, the challenge queen!

Her challenge... to make a card based on your favorite Halloween candy! 

Here is my card for her challenge:

Have any clue what this is? Admittedly, I had a hard time with this challenge but ONLY because I couldn't decide what my favorite Halloween candy is!! LOL!

It's Willy Wonka's bottle caps. Remember those? Mmmm... the root beer flavor are my fav! I actually used beer caps on here with a 1" circle punched from A Muse's notecards... the latte notes are a perfect rootbeer ;)

And then there is my good ol' drippy goo punch. Here was my inspiration:

Hope you get to play along! Can't wait to see what your favorite candy is!

VMAADEC08E: BONUS

And it wouldn't be a FAB 4 VMAA without a bonus round, now would it? This time around we decided to do something a bit different than we've done for this round before. As you may remember, we've had some AWESOME guest (surprise) bonus round hostesses, but this time we decided to keep with our theme of "It's a wonderful life" Holiday Movies.

So, the BONUS (def: an extra challenge for you!) CHALLENGE (def: whoa, is it ever!) is:

Create a card based on your favorite holiday movie.

My card is not necessarily based on my favorite holiday movie but I remember liking it a lot and I *had* to do this card. 

Story: My neighborhood party is tomorrow night. You know the one I made invites for a week or two ago. Anyway, my neighbors that are hosting are big fans of this movie and I thought I'd make a card for them and well, this card became a "TWO FER" :). And I think it's funny. :D

 Can you guess the movie? Frosty on the roof? Come on.... it's a fairly recent flick.

See if you can guess...
