Each time I look through the A Muse Studio Catalog, I have another "thud" moment and WOW how clever!
Not seen it?  You can check it out on my webstore under "our products."  Go to the bottom of the page & in a very light gray you will see "Catalog and Inspiration Guide."  Click on it and  get ready to ENJOY!!!!  Caution:  please be in the seated position when first looking through the catalog.  A Muse Studio and A Stampin' Good Time are not responsible if anyone DFOs.  For my non-Southern friends that means "Done Fell Out"- yes, a true description often used in giving information to emergency medical personel.  It's ALWAYs A Stampin' Good Time!  Take care!

To Be Creatively Uninhibited...

I don't know about everyone else but sometimes using a new supply or tool causes me to cringe- it's so new and perfect and brings out the hoarding tendencies in me! Like swimming, though, I have learned that it's just easier to plunge right in and start creating.

My 7-year-old daughter is my "crafty girl." You will find her in my craft room (with or without me) making something and just singing away (one of my favorite sounds)! Pretty much all of my supplies are at her disposal except my A Muse Studio things!  I went into my studio this morning and saw that she had been "creating" with some mica powders.  The little pots had set in their designated drawer for I don't know how long.  I know and have taught several techniques with them over the years but they don't fall into my "comfort zone" of creating.  Her little project made me realize that maybe I need to get out of the "comfort zone" and just have the heart felt fun that makes me sing when I craft!  It's ALWAYs A Stampin' Good Time!  Take care!

So what does everybody think about the exciting Amuse news!  So would anybody like to SASS things up a notch?  Then join Team SASS (Southern Amuse Studio Stampers.)  Pst, a little hint, you don't have to live in the south to join our team, but if you would prefer to sign up for a team closer to your geographical location, I can send you in the right direction.  There are NO orphans in our stamping family!

Right now, Amuse Studio is offering an incredible deal when you sign up as a consultant.  The Standard Starter kit (a 385.00 value) normal is 175.00 but if you sign up NOW, you can get it for the crazy low price of 99.00!!!!  Before I continue, the Standard Starter kit (along with some awesome tutorials from Her Royal Rubberness, Julie Ebersol) is truly all you need to present a workshop that will make you proud.  But as all of  you know, as stampers we always want more, more, more!  So Amuse Studio also offers a Deluxe Starter kit (valued at around 550.00.)  Normally, you would pay 225.00 for the Deluxe Starter kit- a remarkable deal in itself, but sign up right away and receive the Deluxe kit for 149.00!!!!!!!  Want to see all the goodies you get with the starter kits, well, just come on over to my house and we'll have some stampin' fun.  Wait, you live a gazillion miles away from Alabama, well, check out THIS link for a run down on all the remarkable products you get!

A Muse-eum

So... just because I haven't been posting does not mean my crafty space has been lonely.  Most of my cards, though, are a fall, Halloween, or Christmas theme.  So instead of re-living all of that I thought I reached back into my archives aka A Muse eum, and brought back my very first A Muse card!  It was love at first site with Seattle Girl with her cute little slicker, galoshes and umbrella.  Her "walk" looks so determined.  Like she is going to make it regardless of what life has to offer!  This was right about the time that I had just started "collecting" Copic Markers (Summer of '07) and apparently didn't have ones to go with this SEI paper and used waterbased markers instead. I used a Sakura Clear Stardust pen to add the shimmer produced by the rain.  Fun stuff!  Creating just for the sake of creating! 

Wait for it...

Whahoo!  I'm back and so excited to be here!  I can't even begin to describe the numerous happenings in my life that have made me neglectful of my little piece of blogdom but let's just say I am coming back with a BANG!!!!  Stay tuned, Monday, January 17th I have a HUGE announcement regarding the paper crafting world and cannot wait to share this with you!
