It's official and we are postively thrilled to announce that Elena Shacochis has joined the A Muse Design Team. Yippee!
I have had my eye on Elena's work for quite some time. She did a fabulous job as our very first Guest Designer. She has also been very busy participating in all the A-MUSE-A-PALOOZA festivities. And, many of you have come to know her fabulous work through her dynamite new blog, The Stamping Shac.
Welcome, Elena! We are so happy to have you on the team.
Stay tuned as I have more Designer news!
And, here's a sneak peak of something fabulous that is coming soon from A Muse. Can you figure out what it is? This is not part of our A-MUSE-A-PALOOZA release but will be available to stores on July 16th and on our website the week of the 23rd.
OK - it's pretty hard to tell what it is from this photo but I'm sure there are some clever folks out there that will guess what it is!
Hmmmmm, my guess is spools of ribbon. I think the center "dot" is the middle of a spool and the "eyes" and "mouth" are maybe printing on a label. Maybe the loose stuff in the center is loose ribbon? I am a ribbon lover, so that is where my mind went. :) LOL
