Mr. D's Modeling Career

Hi! My name is Dio and I be the guest columnist today to tell you about my new career.  It's bery exciting.

That Grumpy Cat, he's got nufing on me.  I'm a male model! It's becuz I'm so cute and handsome and get brushing and combing ebery day and bacuum cleanered once a week.  I'm bery lots cuter than my wittle sister.  Remember that, okay.  I'm also bery modest and sweet.  All da time!

Anyway, I modeled for my mom for this card and she said I did a bery good job and she wood recommend me to all her friends who need male models.  My rates are bery unreasonable.

The Fine Print: Pee Ess, that's my dad in the background he's jealous that I'm a model.  All products by A Muse Studio.  Stamps-Nine Lives and Ghostly Greetings, cardstock-grape, lime, onyx, and sugar; other products-paper doily colored with orange splash, clear twinkle stickers, and bat trio die.

Make Up Monday: Lock, Stock, and Key

We resume Make Up Monday today where I show you some cards that have been languishing in my pending folder for far too long.  You'll notice that they tend to be Club Scrap cards. Well, no more dilly dallying--let's get to the cards, which have an offset fold this time.

The Fine Print: Yep, it's all from Club Scrap, the "Lock and Key" collection.  And that's all she wrote... I hope you are having a good Monday.

What's Black and White?

This card!

Remember when I shared THIS Iris Fold card with you?  Well, I made this one at the same time but I hadn't finished it off.  It was naked in the very middle and didn't have a border, greeting, butterfly, or card base. Now it does and it is perfect.  Iris Folding makes me happy!

The Fine Print: I'm happy! You should be happy too.  Be happy!  Because I said so!  Why are you still reading this? I've got nothing for you on the products that made this card.  They just exist.  Accept it.

Fall Florals

No A Muse commercials from me today (and there was much rejoicing).  However, I'm still in an A Muse-ing mood so you'll have to suffer through this autumn inspired floral card.  I feel that I've been neglecting my favorite season, so this card had to be made.

I channeled my inner Susan Itell and added a couple of random dot trios to my greeting.  It works well when you need to add a little something.  The flowers were paper pieced in orange and highlighted with Copic marker. I really love how it came out.

The Fine Print: All products by A Muse Studio.  Stamps used-Charming Gardeners and Essential Sentiments II; cardstock used-Orange, Fern, and Orange petite pinstripes; ink used-Fern and Memento black.
