A Sneak Peek - at last!
Howdy! I'm back and just in time for a couple of sneak peeks before we release our products on April 1st. I hope you have been enjoying the fun sneak peeks from the A Muse Crew!
I also wanted to clarify that the release date for our newest stamps shall be April 1st. The A Muse designers and instructors that posted a release date of March 31st were correct, however, for some reason I had it in my head that it was April 1st. Because I was out of town and had the release planned for the 1st, we'll have to go with that date. Sorry! Be sure to check back here at midnight PDT (pacific daylight time), April 1st (that's less than 24 hours from now!)
One of my favorite stamps from this release is the "bushes" in our new Stitched Garden Clear Stamp set. Often, my favorite stamps are "supporting" images - like our grass, tree stump, nest, etc. My mind is reeling with the possibilities for this stamp.
The first thought that came to my mind was the lady golfer. You see, I've only golfed a few times and ended up in the "rough" a few times. I enjoy the challenge of hitting the ball in these situations. Some of the people I've golfed with (no names - you know who you are! LOL!) are "serious" players and they were a little frustrated with my abilities. No worries... Life is GOOD when you play golf - regardless of your abilities!
There are 4 new stamps used on this card:
- 2-6112C Lady golfer
- 8-8491B Life is good
- 2-SGAR Stitched Garden clear stamp set (bushes)
- 2-REFM Rectangular Frames

This next card just cracks me up! Every summer at the lake, someone's dog hooks up with a skunk in the woods. It's nasty business for sure!
The new bushes are the perfect hiding spot for ms. skunk. Watch out sniffer!
I have some fun pictures from our spring break trip to San Diego... just need to download them from my computer which is going to take a while. <smile!>
Have a beautiful day!


Very cute!

I am loving the new clear frames sets that I've been seeing on the A Muse crew blogs. There are so many cool ones - I can't wait to see them all. How did you make the frame on the first card?

LOVE the bushes stamp... I too can think of lots of ways to use it! How did you color the bushes on the Sniffer/skunk card? It looks so soft!

ROFLMAO! I can totally relate to the first card and your second one still has me laughing! My poor dog has had that happen and it isn't any fun at all! Poor unsuspecting Sniiffer!

Thanks for the girl golfer Linda!!! I LOVE to golf (and my husband would say that I can always keep up with the guys). I've been asking for a female golfer for so long. Can't wait to make lots of cards for all my golfer friends!!!
