I have been itching to play along with the Muse Challenge this week, but it had to wait until yesterday as crafty time lately has been limited to Sundays. I adore collage stamping and am in need of a few graduation cards so this was the perfect card to make first!
Yesterday, I spent most of the day at our local stage company as Jonathon and Marcel tried out for a children's production of Oliver. The try outs were Saturday and Sunday with over 110 kids trying out. It is amazing to see children gain the confidence to perform in front of a full audience. I'll keep you posted on how the boys do. We'll find out later this week.
I hope your week gets off to a great start.
fab stamping and love the orange. Fingers crossed for the boys xx

ReplyDeleteFrom my standpoint this is a very contemporary Muse style this week. You have used it perfectly by going with a GRAD theme. The bold orange mortar board grounds the rest and gives my eye a place to start appreciating the other elements.
