So, the hubby decided to renovate his “lil fishing cabin on the Allegheny River near Pittsburgh this summer. This has turned into a complete overhaul of the three room cabin- a bedroom/bath, living room and kitchen- one thing leads to another- when he upgraded the electric, he had to rip out the walls. When he ripped out the walls, he needed to change the floor and the list goes on. In the end, he ended up rewiring, drywalling, painting, and decided to put in an actual kitchen with nice hardwood floors. Our kids have enjoyed this little cabin with their friends all through college- of course, when it was a dumpy place. Now, mom and dad are going to enjoy it as well! Jim has been gone all week at camp so I decided to go up and visit. I thought while he worked, I could get some card swaps done. I packed up all my necessary stamping supplies and off I went. Once I got there with all my clear mount stamps, I found I out I forgot my acrylic blocks!!! I almost started to cry. Jim, my carpenter in shining armor, quickly came to the rescue…
I was happy to have my stamps temporarily mounted and could finish up my MUSE Card Club #31 submission.
But, I forgot it had to be posted by Monday morning. Ugh…no internet out here. But somehow, I was able to tether my laptop to Jim’s iPhone and get it loaded up! What would I do without him?
Sorry about the lighting, I was working with a temporary lightbulb dangling from the kitchen ceiling.

Here’s Marion Vagg’s fresh card with shades of pink flowers and an accent of turquoise that inspired me to create my mine after quite a few hurdles.

You’ve got my vote at Muse …. this is one of my favorite stamp sets and I just love what you’ve done with! The colors are just yummy and the extra mounting layers add so much elegance.
Oh, thanks, Rita. I wish the lighting was better…the white background is so crisp with the colors.
Beautiful card!! The colors make me happy !

Stunning and winning card for MUSE, Cindy! I love everything about it! And I enjoyed your share about the rustic cabin turning into a dream home at the helm of your dreamy knight in shining armor! You are blessed!! Darnell
