Summer Project: Complete!

I am so excited and proud of myself:  I finally got my "big" crafty project of the summer complete!  I scraplifted this idea from a post on the My Mind's Eye blog from several months ago.   As soon as I saw it I knew I had to try this out and create a similar work of art for my office at work.  The only thing I did differently was I mounted the canvases to a foam board and framed the entire thing, whereas the one on the MME blog the canvases were hung directly to the wall.  I knew I would not be able to get all those canvases mounted to the wall in my office, therefore the frame!  I found a super-cheap open-backed frame at our local Hobby Lobby, painted and faux finished it and ta-da!  Anyways, I'm super proud of myself because this is probably the most challenging piece I've done yet.  I'm very pleased with how it turned out!  Hope you like it as much as I do!

Mojo Monday Week 198

Today I'm posting my entry for this week's Mojo Monday Week 198 sketch.  I am using, of course, all A Muse Studio products!  I recently became an A Muse Studio Creative Consultant, so of course I want to show off all the incredible products they have to offer!  I started with kraft cardstock as my base, then layered several colors of A Muse Studio cardstock:  Bermuda, buttercup, sugar, and sage.  I inked all the edges and stamped the sentiment in French Roast and inked the image in Grass.  The stamped image and sentiment is from the Avian Notes stamp set and the border on the die cut is from the Vintage Labels stamp set.  The die cut label is also from A Muse Studio and coordinates with the Vintage Labels stamp set.  I love all of the A Muse Products and hope you will too!  Stop by my webstore to take a look at the catalog (and maybe do a little shopping!):
