Muse Challenge #51 - Happy First Anniversary!

Vote for your favourite entries from last week here before Tuesday at 8:00 am EST.

Today we are celebrating Muse's first Anniversary. And we've got a very, very special guest Muse to help us celebrate - Jackie Rockwell, the creator of Muse! We just couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than to have our creator and founder join us today. Jackie has used her own card as her Muse this week:

The first card was made about a year ago and the second card is brand-spankin' new, a digital hybrid, made specially for this anniversary challenge - with a secret, subliminal message in it - do you see it? Is that clever or what?! 

Jackie - thank you so much for being our first Muse and for joining us on this very special day to help us celebrate!

We also have a very exciting DT announcement! Vicki Dutcher has agreed to become a member of Muse's DT - she'll be creating a Muse for us every month.

Hi my name is Vicki Dutcher, and I am so excited to be joining the Muse Team!  I am looking so forward to seeing how you will be inspired by my cards! 

I have been stamping for 17 years.  I had a neighbor introduce me to SU and developed from there.  I love this hobby and I am [totally] addicted.  My blog is appropriately named since All I Do Is Stamp. 

I live in Arizona and have been married for 23 years [were did that time go!].  We have a son in the Navy, who is currently deployed in Japan.

Thank you Ardyth for asking me aboard.

Thanks, Vicki - we can't wait to see your first Muse on February 3!
