Welcome to patterned paper at Muse!
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!
All of the deets can be found here on the Muse blog…. but here’s how it works:
- Use ANYTHING you want from your stash to create a project inspired by this week’s Muse.
- In your post, explain how you were inspired and link back to the Muse blog.
- Provide supportive comments on at least 3 other member’s submissions.
- Vote for three of your fellow member’s submissions.
Thanks for stopping by,

Hello Baby!
Sadly I missed last month’s sketch with Lisa, what with an overseas holiday, then visitors and both our computers were in the hospital so I couldn’t even edit a photo… gasp! Now I’m back on track and had a few minutes to spare today (well not really I should be cleaning the house before our next visitors arrive tonight) but I ‘needed’ to make a card for fun. So I thought I would film as I go just in case you had a few spare minutes to watch when you ‘could’ be cleaning the house too (wink)!
You can see my video here or Watch it at Youtube.

I would also like to share this card with Simon Says Stamp where the challenge is ‘Anything Goes’, sounds like a perfect fit for me! I’ll be back real soon.
