Happy A*Muse*A*Palooza !!!! and a couple of lobsta' rolls:)

i'd like to wish all of our fantastic instructors best wishes during AP! i'm here in lovely cape cod. i took an amazing advent calendar class with jenn. i'll post a snippet of the it when i get home. then sophie and i will be taking a a* muse class on sunday. the weather has been a bit cooler than i expected for this time of year. where are my ugg's!! it is a nice change from the nc heat, though. soon i'll be back to trying to find the most shade when i'm watching my little guy's tennis matches:) enjoy all the fun festivities, i can't wait to see the great creations.

too funny!! for most of us this latest sighting of "eddie", was pretty obvious:) we'll be heading up to cape cod for a visit. i'm so excited, i get to take two classes with my fav jenn shurkus at colorful creations. happy dance all over the place!! have a fun and safe 4th of july.

OOPS! i forgot to mention what a fabulous job sophie did on my blog banner?!!:)

Who's been to Fork's?

well, i missed the ribbon challenge. by golly, i wasn't going to miss the TWILIGHT one! not the greatest pic, i'll most likely take another tomorrow and replace it. the sun was setting, but i was anxious to get this post up. this was alot of fun, i had that pumpkin truck in mind for awhile. i tried to grunge it up with the copic colorless blender. i also omitted the seattle from a muses "greetings from seattle" and added forks. my lettering could be better:) i KNOW bella wouldn't be wearing a dress but hey...i hope you all have a blast with this challenge.
also, my daughter, sophie is designing a new blog banner. i have no clue to what or how she is doing:D

thanks for all of your sweet comments on my"pizza" too:)

happy pizza day!!

if my 18 year old son would have his way, it would be pizza day everyday!
i have a secret though...they're COOKIES. did i fool you? i made these for my last class. we made the super cute mini-pizza boxes and i thought hmmm....what can i put in them and tada:) lots of oohs and ahhs erupted.

they're pretty easy peasy:
slice and bake your sugar cookie dough.
spread some yummy strawberry jam on top.
sprinkle on some grated white chocolate.
cut out circles from strawberry fruit by the foot.(i used the bottom of a frosting tip, that seemed to be the right size).

your peeps will think your the most amazing, craftiest person on earth:D ENJOY!

it's hip to be square!

i know i'm dating myself with that title. here's a card for the first A*muse*a*palooza challenge. it's true there are some circles. but i love the look of planets that our square little bobble head robot boy is bouncing off of. i'm sure your into the A*muse*a*palooza fun already. don't forget to check the A Muse news blog regularly for fun contests and PRIZES. well, today is sophie's end of the year dance recital. lots to do!! see you soon.

but hey, i did manage to get an a muse bouche in everyday:) here i used our new sand dollar and beach stamps. did you see the new brown gingham paper? i don't know if you can see in the pic, i used my new distressing tool on the papers. who thinks up these tools?
