A Two-fer


Well, I have been meaning to do one of the A Muse Addicts Yahoo! group challenges for a while, but just never found the time to do it. I took a little bit of my scheduled cleaning time today to make a this quick card for the monochromatic challenge that ends today! I guess I am in the mood for lots of pink this month, so I made this card with two shades of pink. Quick and easy and it is a 3" x 3" card, too, so nice for a gift!



This card I made some time ago, just never got around to sharing it with you. This is for all of you who come and check up on me regularly. I really do treasure the internet/blog friends I have made! It is always nice to hear from those of you who leave me a comment, too. So, in return for the warm fuzzy feelings you all have given me, I have an A Muse giveaway in honor of World Card Making Day! I had thought to make this a toughie, but then decided to go easy on you ;) If you would like to enter, all you have to do is tell me TWO things:
1. What is your favorite or most-used A Muse stamp?
2. What A Muse stamp do you most desire to own?
I will leave this open through Saturday, October 6, midnight (I'm east coast). I will pull a number from the hat and post the winner on Sunday! Please, only one entry per person. I can't wait to hear from you! Good luck!!!!!

card #1 info: cardstock by Bazzill and my supply, images and sentiment by A Muse.

card #2 info: paper, image and sentiment by A Muse, clip by Making Memories, crystals by EK Success, ribbon by May Arts.

Great cards and most excellent blog candy. I check your blog daily and always find something beautiful and inspirational.

My favorite A Muse stamp (right now) is the Pumpkin Tree. I hope to some day own the Santa Coat (to go with the sentiment that I already own "A Candy Cane A Day Keeps Santa On His Way".

Hi Elena, so glad you are doing the Yahoo challenges, LOVE your stuff. My most commonly used A Muse stamp is the Daisy doodle 3-4106C. I use it for a ton of scenes with all of the shops. I would love to own every A Muse expression... well, actually every stamp but lately I keep eyeing the swirly bracket.

These are both cute cards! I'm so glad you decided to do the Yahoo group challenge!!

Let's see:

My favorite A Muse stamp is tough to decide, but I'll say right now it's Tinplate for a bg and the Rock Star for a main image.

The stamp I most want right now is Snow Angel, but I have a long list!

My favorite Amuse stamp...there are so many! I really love the Hey Cupcake stamp and use that alot.
The stamp I most want right now is Makenna, but I add more to my list every day. I'm sure on Saturday the list will be getting longer :)

Hi Elena! Cute cards!

My favorite A Muse stamp is the long retired Thank you gift, I use it all the time.

The stamp I want the most is the new Coffee Break clear set...I LOVE coffee and I've been dying for an A Muse "thanks a latte" stamp.

These are both great cards! Love the pink one...it's perfect for this month too.

Let's see...I have a hard time trying to figure out what my favorite Amuse stamp is. There are sooo many! I guess at the moment my favorite is Parade 2-2623D It's just so cute!

The Amuse stamp that I most desire to own right now is Witches brew 2-2647D (along with a whole bunch of other Halloween ones)

I am going to a rubber stamp convention in York, PA this weekend and I get to work at the Amuse booth with Cindy on Sunday. I will be helping her with making cards with the customers. I can't wait! I already have a list of stamps to take with me. I've been saving my money for this event because there are no stamp stores near me that sell Amuse stamps. So I'll be there to shop on Saturday and work on Sunday. And maybe do a little more shopping on Sunday too. Thanks, Elena for all you do! I love checking and seeing everything you share with us.

More than any other A Muse stamp, I use my tiny bird. I have been wanting the Tire Swing stamp for a while, but I keep no buying it for myself.

I love the challenge cards.

My favorite A Muse stamp is Seattle Girl. Not exactly versatile, but incredibly cute.

I have always wanted the Lots of Dots background, but somehow it has never made the trip into my craft room.

I would definatly have to say my most used AMuse stamp would have to be Sniffer the dog. He is the only A Muse stamp I won. I LOVE him. He was given to me by a very dear friend!..
And I would LOVE to have ALL of the A Muse stamps. I can't pick just one!

imteresa said...

Oh, I find I'm always using the sentiment "Congratulations" (for a baby, new house, etc.), but I most desire "thanks a bunch." Thanks for the opportunity to play!

Hi Elena! fun quiz - I love reading all the posts from the fellow addicts. My favorite stamp is the "a true friend is the greatest blessing" - I adore that stamp! And I am dying to own calamity jane, since I always wanted to be a cowgirl whe I grew up.

Lovely cards, as always! TFS!

Hi Elena. I would have to say my oft-used A Muse stamp is Ellie. I've had her forever and seem to always go back to her for a quick card. She just looks so happy:)

I just placed another A Muse order - my wishlist is sooo long! I do really want the polka dot frame, though, and it never seems to make it onto the short list... Thanks for sharing your great cards with us!

Hello. I was really digging the pink polka dot card and was going to leave a comment anyway. Thanks for the opportunity to win some goodies. My current fav amuse stamp is the nurse (Florence) since I'm almost an RN! I put her on all my thank you cards to preceptors and instructors. I really would like to get the polka dot mug sometime soon... especially since winter is coming up. Can't wait to see your new creations!

My most used A Muse stamp is the 3 birch trees. I use it for so many winter and fall scenes. I would love to own every A Muse stamp, but I think Florence is at the top of my list :)

Tracy said...

Ooohh what great questions. This will be difficult as I love ALL A Muse stamps.
My favorite stamp is the Stamp Shop.

I REALLY, REALLY have wanted the Even Dot Background stamp for the longest time.

Thanks for a chance to play!
