Celebrating Amuseapalooza!

Today marked the beginning of a week long Amuseapalooza celebration and the unveiling of the new A Muse stamps! This morning, my daughter, Sarah and I went to visit our friends at the Cottage Stamper and to have a look at the new selection of stamps. We quickly fell in love with many of them and brought a "few" home with us. We've been playing and later in the week, I'll show you the ATC's I've been working on for my new round of swaps.

In the meantime, here's a card that I designed for today's A muse Mini-Challenge. The challenge was to use 9 stamps in a card design. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to use my new Tall House, Fence and Grass stamps, along with two new sayings: "from our house to yours" and "May your house always be too small to hold all your friends." The tree is also from A Muse (it's the one with the tire swing) and the dog, circle (sun) and heart are all from Stampin' Up! All cardstock and ink are SU! and the ribbon is Dots and Dashes from Mike's. I so enjoyed creating this little scene. Hope it brings a smile to your day as well!
