The weekly challenge (#5) has been posted on the AMPA blog, and it sounds like so much fun! This time around you need to make a "scene" on your card. Time for the houses, grass, trees, fences, etc!! I can't wait!
I promise to have some cards posted tonight. It just didn't seem right to be posting cards yesterday. Memorial Day just felt a little more important. But, no worries..I have plenty to post to make up for it, hehehe!
That A*Muse is giving away awesome prizes every week? Like a ton of seriously great stuff? All you have to do to win one is register (don't forget to tell them I sent ya!) and then participate in the weekly challenges! Fun and easy peasey! Kind of like blog candy on steroids, lol.
A Muse picked a random Ambassador on the amuseapalooza blog for a yummy prize!
If you're like me...you are now dying to know what "they" won, right? Well, go check! Just click HERE and you can take a peek yourself.
Don't forget to register and tell 'em I sent you if you haven't yet!
What Memorial Day is about.
Let us not forget about the great men and women who have died for this country...for us...for freedom. Freedom of not just ourselves, but freedom for the oppressed everywhere. On this day, let us forget our political feelings about this war (ya'll know I have some strong ones) and remember...
Terry Molineux!!!

what that really stinks no computer...I would be lost without mine....I don't have a life so I spend it mostly on the computer when I am not stamping or shopping!!! LOL
I will go register and mention your name...thanks!
Now can I please win........... I NEVER WIN ANYTHING...
BTW have you been watching Young & the Restless...? I thought Nick was alive? Where is he? When is he coming back???????
Hahahaha, well I guess you can't say you've never won anything before now Terry! I used random.org to generate the winning number, giving each of you who had registered at A*Muse using my name an additional 5 entries. For example if the first person who commented had registered at a*muse, she would have been given #1 for her post, and numbers 2-6 for the extra entries. :)
Anyhow, the winning number was "unlucky" number 13, so Terry, please shoot me an email with your snail mail address and I'll get your goodies in the mail asap!
(and I don't know what the deal with Nick is on YnR, but I know his contract was extended for 5 years, so he WILL be back!! ) lol!!
Is the sentiment inside this card. Cute huh?
I decided to use up some of the patterned paper I have been hoarding. The paisley piece and the orange scalloped piece are from SEI. Petals and Paisley I think...pretty isn't it? The stamp and the sentiment inside the card are both from A*Muse. You didn't think I could skip my daily A*Muse card did ya? Gotta get my ambassador points. hehe
The ribbon is from May Arts. It is truly yummy....ties awesome because it is so soft. I also used some waterfall stickles on the chair and the lamp. They are all sparkly in real life :)
Did I mention that the 4th A Muse challenge is posted?? It is, and the prize this time is a surprise...what fun! Head on over to the AmuseaPalooza blog and check it out. It's quite "punchy"!
Ok, so I think I am going to stop with the step by step directions when I post a card...Whatda' ya think? If anyone will just die without them, let me know, otherwise I will just do a short run down. :)
I made this card with a couple of new A Muse stamps. Meet Skywriter and Monster Duo...cute aren't they? I stamped them on WW cardstock and colored them in with Stampin' Write markers. The "boy" monster is colored with a Bravo Burgundy marker and is almost as dark as the Chocolate Chip skinny oval. GRRRR! I wish SU! would come out with a better burgundy/raspberry color...oh wait, they are. Purely Pomegranate is coming in July!!!!!
The card base is Rose Romance and the burgundy scalloped square (giga) is Basic Grey. I am IN LOVE with the new ribbon. It's from May Arts and is to die for.

Run!
I cut an extra of each piece of the atc I made for the color coach swap, and made an A Muse atc with it.
This has the same colors, shapes, and accessories as the last atc. The only difference is that the previous atc was using Stampin' Up stamps and this one uses A Muse stamps.
I think it's fun to see the same card made with different stamps. Gives you more ideas!
I joined a color coach atc swap on scs a while back. Well, they are due asap, so I am trying to get them all finished. I signed up for 6 groups and this is for one of them. This is for my Chocolate Chip spot. The colored I used are Chocolate Chip, Almost Amethyst, So Saffron, and Rose Red.
The base is CC and then on it I mounted a piece of So Saffron that was stamped with the mushroom from the Unfroggetable stamp set. Then I tore the edge and adhered it to the card base.
Next I punched a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the small tag punch and stamped the dragonfly in Basic Black on it. I colored this in with my Stampin' Write markers, and then adhered it on to a piece of Almost Amethyst cardstock punched out with the large tag punch.
I punched a hole in these with my 1/8th circle punch and tied a piece of chocolate grosgrain ribbon. Then I mounted this onto the card base and stamped the sentiment (from the Warm Words stamp set) in Chocolate Chip ink on the bottom of the card.
So far the computer is being ok behaving again, so stay tuned for another atc.
I am having allot of trouble with my laptop and may need to take it in to be fixed. If that happens I won't be able to post till I get it back. :( Very sad!
So, I decided to offer up some blog candy to keep things exciting while I'm gone. All you have to do is comment on this post.
And if you go over to the Amuseapalooza site and register to participate in the contests, and tell them that I sent you, I will give you an additional 5 entries in the blog candy contest! If you do register and use my name (Cori Bravo) as who sent you, please let me know in your comment on this post!
I fixed the above link too, so if you had tried to register and couldn't please give it another shot, the link should work now!! Thanks!
The blog candy is 2 of my favorite things...Christmas Red stickles, and the cow stamp from A*Muse!
I will draw the winner on Sunday night, or when I get my computer back, which ever is the latter.
Good luck!! Go register!!!!
Only have had time for a quick card so far...
The berry is a brand new stamp I just got from A*Muse. I stamped it in Noir ink and punched it out with my mega and jumbo oval and scalloped oval punches. The strawberry was colored in with prismacolor markers and then blinged with some Christmas red stickles.
The base is Real Red stamped with the strawberry, then I ran some polka dotted sheer ribbon around the card, tied a bow and adhered the berry oval.
Quick and cute!
Remember when I told you to go check out the Amuseapalooza blog and guess how many stamps were in Jennifer's suitcase? Well the winner was revealed and there were an amazing amount of stamps in there...956 to be exact! WOWZA. I was off my about 100 stamps, oh well! It was fun though! Make sure you keep checking the AMPA blog HERE for all the fun contests and if you for some crazy reason haven't registered, you should! And tell 'em Cori Bravo sent ya! Thanks!!
