Paper Muse...a little piece of heaven

So, you would think I had no life or at least was a total slacker because I managed to make it to a gorgeous paper store in Sumner called the Paper Muse 3 times this week! Let me be clear, that was three times in a row. Thursday, Friday and today! That's right people...3 times!

I am so inspired walking into Cammie's store. It is a plethora (I like using big college words once in a while) of gorgeous paper, stamps, stickers, ink and soooo much more! If you are local {Bonney Lake, Lake Tapps, Sumner, Auburn, Puyallup area} you HAVE TO check out her store! It's amazing! And who doesn't like supporting local small business' right? =)

So, I couldn't help but to be totally inspired to create new projects each time I went into her store. I have done 2 projects since walking into her shop on Thursday for the first time. Oh, by the way, she now has a blog. She just started it so it's still under construction, but check her out and become a follower of the Paper Muse in Sumner, WA.

So, here are the two little projects I did since Thursday. I know, I know, I should be working on my pantry, but you will learn I have Crafting/design/project A.D.D!!! I can't stop it!!!!

{Just so you all know, I have made progress on my pantry for those wondering. New pictures to come soon}

Thank you notes.

Without the glittery edges...

With the glittery edges:

I used "Stickles" glitter glue. By far the best glitter crafting glue on the market. {IMO}

All products except for the paper cutter, black ink and paper adhesive came from the Paper Muse

The products I used:

1. Stickles glitter glue. Soft gold.

2. One 12x12 sheet of patterned paper by Webster's pages seaside retreat line "hide & seek"

3. Two sheets of heavy, cream card stock for the journaling block.

4. "{thank you} stamp

Oh, I also used a small black ink pad to ink the edges of the paper to add a little distressed look. I don't have an envelope template so I just cut the paper to fit some cream envelopes I already had.

This is the easiest little project ever and who doesn't LOVE getting a handmade {they don't have to know how easy it was} thank you card in the mail!

The 2nd project!

Monogram Canvas

{16x20}

Love this one soooo much!

Cammie has a line of specialty paper that are great for, well, just about anything your little heart desires. I walked into her store on Thursday and immediately fell in love with this vintage alphabet paper that I immediately spied hanging from the ceiling. The texture is almost like cloth. It came in a piece that was 19x27. So Amazing! I can't stand it!

So, I bought the paper {$6.25} went to JoAnn's, bought a plain artist canvas that was 40% off {final price $9}went home cut out our monogram "H" on the cricut and decoupaged that gorgeous paper right onto the 16x20 canvas with the "H"! And Wa La! A monogrammed canvas for just over $15!!

Sorry the pictures aren't the best, but I hope you get the idea!

Have a great night and thanks for keeping up with me! Now go create something! =)

Goodnight.
