 A BIG thank you to our creator and fabulous 1st Anniversary Muse Jackie Rockwell, Hugs to you GF!  In Australia it is traditional to celebrate our 21st birthdays and one of my nephews celebrates his next month and I thought this design and colour scheme were just perfect.

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!

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

Hiya, I’m  back with another post for Muse!  So now I’m not only ‘stamp addicted’, but I’ve started coveting inks…  all different kinds and then of course I need every different colour.  Love this Archival Ink from Ranger, how sweet is this Viridian colour!

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.

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

I’m so excited to be back with another post for Muse!  I just love this basic sketch design, I have a made a few cards using it now and thought it would be fun to share with you this week.  Just add some sweet paper, colour an image or add an embellie and you are done.
