AMUSE Challenge 3

I am loving all the AMUSE challenges. It felt so good to be home this morning when I woke up. You never appreciate your own bed until you try to sleep in a hotel one. My sheets for sure have higher thread count and feel so much nicer on my cheeks *grins* Anyway, I decided that I felt like stamping a bit and decided that the challenge sketch on AMUSE would get me back into the swing of it. I changed it up a little bit, instead of using a rectangle, I used a scalloped square. I think it works on the square card really well. Both of the stamps on the card are by AMUSE artstamps. I just loved this little lemonade stand and just had to have it! I used frosted lace stickles on the lemonade pitcher. It is hard to see in this picture, but it adds just the perfect amount of "bling" in real life.

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
