Hello everyone! I haven’t posted in the last couple of days because my camera card refused to work. What nerve!! We spend all of this money on these cards and they want to act funny. Luck for me I do not reuse cards. Once a card is full I buy another, so I have plenty on hand. Unlucky for me I had to go through one of them and delete some photos so I can take these photos. Yes, Oh Happy Day for me. LOL.
Ok, on to why I’m here today.
I’m here today playing with the Muse Challenge #74. The Muse for this week is Jennifer Wills!
Check out her card:
I have to say, when I saw this card I was a bit intimidated. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, what I can do or what I should do. My brain was on frozen mode. Then I thought I want to keep my card clean and simple. Then I thought maybe I will die cut, but I knew everyone else would, so I didn’t want to do that.
I decided that I would only die cut my center piece and then add embellishments to give the card dimension.
Take a look:
I die cut my square then added pattern paper.
I rounded the corner, stamped my sentiment, added my twine and button.
Clean and Simple to the max.
By the way, I have been playing with my camera, trying to get brighter pictures that are sharp and crisp. What do you think? Any suggestions.
I used my:
Canon 40D
Shooting Mode: AV (Aperture Value)
50mm lens f/1.4
Aperture: 1.4
Shutter speed: 1/80
Exposure Compensation: +1
White Balance: Daylight (I will try Auto next time to see what results I get)
Please let me know what you think.
Supplies used:
Thank you so much for stopping by!

This is a wonderful CAS creation! Love the paper, twine and button embellishments. Perfect sentiment!
Hello Stephanie,
Thank you so much for kind comment. You bet me to the punch. I was just about to comment on your card. I absolute love your card. Totally awesome.
Kymona, I love this card! I love that sentiment and your totally clean and simple approach to Jen’s inspiration card. Perfection!
Hey Judy!! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. Yes, that sentiment is so fitting for such a beautiful day today.
What a super cool take on the Muse Kymona 🙂 I just love ur unique cards !
Hey Deepti! Congrats again on your win yesterday. I love that card. Thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I try to be different when I can, lol.
I so get how you can get bogged down in the details of a challenge. What a clever take! Very CAS and clever!
Hey Sue! Thank you for your wonderful comment. Yes, the details can really have you pulling out your hair. I’m just glad I was able to get my thought together so that I can participate.
There’s a butterfly on the button, how cute. Awesome
Yes, isn’t that cute!! Thanks Erica!
This rocks, Kymona! I love that it’s CAS but still has so many great details – the strip of patterned paper, the button and the twine. Awesome! Thanks for playing along with Muse this week!
Hey Jen!! You stumped me in the beginning. I wasn’t sure how I was going to interpret your card. I thought long and hard and decided on simple but detailed. Thank you so much for challenging me.
Love that your card doesn’t have a circle- way to break outside the box 🙂
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such kind words. Yes, I try really hard to think out of the box whenever I can.
Thats so funny because my brain froze when I saw this card too! Its so perfect I just couldn’t think of any direction I could take it in, so good on you for sticking it out!! This card is so sweet and clean. I love that you used kraft card for the base of the card, really makes the white square stand out. I think you did brilliantly with this! Oh, and I think your photos look really good too, nice and bright!
Hey Shona!! Thank you so much for the encouragement. I’m always up for a “challenge”. Thank you so much for reading the entire blog post. Your the only person who commented on my photos. I really appreciate it. I love the feedback, good or bad, it makes me a better person. I really want my photos to be super bright and detail but I can’t seem to get that look. I’m glad you like them.
This card is so amazing – love the scene within the circle on the background of white – So ultra cool and so very pleasing to the eye!! Have a terrific day!!
Taunya, your funny!!!
OK, I am a goof – I commented on the card you were CASEing!! Your card is also awesome – love the twine going down the middle of the rounded square and the way it divides the message from the design!! Simpy awesome – love the addition of the button!!
LOL, your not a goof, a couple of my coworkers did the same thing!! Your forgiven. Thank for sticking with me. At first, I was having a hard time trying to decide what to do but it came to me eventually. Your the best!!
you got this card just right
Thank you so much df!
