Muse #18


Happy Wednesday! It seems like forever since I have made a card to post...long week so far but only 10 more school days until summer vacation, so excited. Then a full month off until I start teaching summer school, again, so excited and I am really looking forward to having so much time to just play! I have 2 cards to share tonight, one for this weeks Muse...Marion Vagg made an incredible card, so full of vibrant color. Just so beautiful, and her coloring, off the charts. So perfect for an inspiration card.

My second card is one that I recycled goodies from a card that I received in the mail. Joyce was so sweet and sent me an anniversary card and it was so beautiful I hated to just put in the recycle pile in the garage, so I pulled all the fabulous little goodies off the card and made this one. Joyce made these beautiful roses and there was no way I could not use them! I still have enough to make 2 more cards!

  5. I think you've got a winner with your Muse card, Kim. It's so pretty and I could stare at it all day! You've taken Marion's and made it your own. Gorgeous. Love how you've recycled Joyce's card too. Love it! Bev

  8. I just love your Muse card. Such a clever take--you made it your own. Love your colorful flowers, and even those bits of bling that you made into flowers. And, I like what you recycled my card into much better than my original card. Here's to improving things via recycling!

  9. Love the muse card Kim! Your flowers are so pretty! I was hoping to make a card for that one. Love the second card and that you repurposed from another card. Stripes and polka dots are just the best!
