Welcome to patterned paper at Muse!

~ lostinpaper ~ 19 Comments

Not sure if I may have just overdone it a little….   well, I did say that I wanted to use some patterned paper and so I did, a LOT of it lol.  I made a real mess creating this and at one point I couldn’t find my baby sheep at all, some hurried cleaning and he was luckily located all happy and ready to sit on the card front.

I can’t wait to see how this inspires you and maybe you can use just a little of your paper stash too!

I wasn’t too sure if I was up for the challenge, and looking at my card now I would definitely love to tweak it just a little, but that’s the joy of only 10 minutes.  I just love that it stops me from procrastinating for literally hours sometimes lol.  So thanks again for the inspiration Micah!

Hello there, time for some butterfly triangles at Muse today and I had so much fun making this card…   but I also  have a couple of other ideas, what would it look like with all the butterfly triangles popped up?  or I was thinking maybe some glossy accents just over the butterfly itself to add dimension?

I can’t wait to see how this inspires you!

Today at Muse I was thinking that it time for some flowers and with an untouched amazing set of stamps from WPlus9 (I know sacrilege right…  I need to join Darnell’s NBUS challenge lol) called Fresh Cut Florals it was easy.  So it’s one layered with some pencil shading for depth otherwise a fairly simple design.

 I can’t wait to see how this inspires you!

Graffiti at Muse!

~ lostinpaper ~ 21 Comments

This week for Muse I wanted to share a card I made for a guy who was leaving at work (for some reason I’m the designated creator of cards for all occasions at work…  which I’m sure may ring true to many of you as well lol)

This is a fun graffiti technique that was shared by Shari Carroll at the Online Card Class, and I especially love it for masculine designs.  I hope you have some fun with it and I can’t wait to see how you are inspired.

Anyhoo, I created my own background for the current Build a Background challenge at ABNH, using the colour and star inspiration from Jacquie’s card at Muse and finally Lisa’s Wanna Sketch for the layout (which I flipped)….  phew…

Smile at Muse!

~ lostinpaper ~ 9 Comments

Who has time to make birthday cards this time of year???   Although to be honest I would not like to celebrate my birthday in the holiday season it’s so easily forgotten, luckily for me my birthday is conveniently in June, smack bang middle of the year.  My only complaint is that it’s Winter and because I live in the sub tropics and am a ‘cold frog’ the al fresco dining leaves me cold, see I told you not really a complaint at all, at least nothing wine won’t fix lol.

It’s yet another thing I loved about living in the UK, my birthday was in Summer….   aaaaaaah.  Where was I going with this, oh yes, quick and easy birthday cards for me this time of year for sure, sorry guys.

I can’t wait to see how this card inspires you!

It’s a Cupcake Bouquet for MUSE!

~ lostinpaper ~ 15 Comments

Welcome back!  Today my card expands on the ‘Cupcake Bouquet’ idea so out came the few flower punches that I own (I’ve never been a real punch kinda girl…  but die cuts, well that’s a whole nother story).   It was easy I just picked a paper pad with the colours I wanted and then add some bling, Voila!

Thinking of you at Muse!

~ lostinpaper ~ 16 Comments

I can’t believe that I am already back with another post for Muse! Lately I seem to be stamping with anything but black, even when I’m colouring in.  I love the subtle look of the green stamped leaves when they are then coloured in green, I’m not sure why I would even think to stamp the flower in brown and colour it purple, originally I think it was going to be pink, but it seemed to turn out okay anyway….   I’m being as clear as mud, but I’m sure you ‘get my drift’ lol.
