A Muse Lounge Spring Card Mail Swap

It has been a long time since I last posted. We had family visiting from Seattle; they were here to meet their great niece. A great time was had by all.

While they were with us, I managed to complete a few projects. However, it was with the help of my aunt. She was a wonderful! Thank you!

Here is a card I made for the A Muse Lounge Spring '09 Card Swap. The theme was SUMMER: show what you like to do in the summer, something that 'says' summer. Even though I don't have a scooter, I think it would be super fun in the summer. If I had one, I would enjoy riding it while venturing out for an espresso, going to the beach, or any other fun summertime outing. I wasn't sure that the colors I chose were Summer colors, but they felt like summer for me.

Everything I used was by A Muse, with the exception of: Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and Copic Markers. The stamp is not one of the newer summer stamps, but it is a new stamp to me. I love the striped shirt, scarf, and cap; they reminded me of clothes I would like to wear. So, I HAD to use this stamp! I chose the stamp, 'happy day', because that is exactly how I would feel riding that scooter, sporting clothes in my favorite colors, and enjoying a bumpy ride, on a 'purple' road...
