I was organizing my stamps a few weeks ago and discovered that I have some duplicates. There are 7 stamps in total. Some are used, some aren't. 6 of them are 'prototypes', 1 is not.
Our prototype stamps are the first stamps ever produced from our manufacturer. We send them to our designers and instructors to help us "test" them before going into production. We do *not* permit our instructors or designers to sell our prototype stamps because sometimes there are slight imperfections that we work out *before* we ship!
That's a mightly long pre-amble to let you know that I would love to give these stamps to one of our A Muse blog readers. Here's the list of what I've got.
- Cat woman (halloween)
- Tiny cat (halloween)
- Little dino (kids)
- flower box (nature)
- Tea cup (friendship)
- Tin Plate (background)
- Just a note (new)
If you would like to have these stamps, please post a comment here with your favorite new A Muse product (see links in post above). I will draw one winner tomorrow (2/21) at noon.
Bonne chance!
ETA: I've found even more fun stuff for the lucky winner... some samples of our Spring notes, and some A Muse ribbon that I cut by mistake. If I keep cleaning, who knows what I'll add... I still have until tomorrow noon! LOL!
OMG~am I the first to comment?!? I would love these stamps because my A Muse collection has just begun and my current A Muse's are awaiting a few friends...My faves of the new products would have to be the ribbon (love the colors!)..and the rabbit on the weiner dog, too cute!

Posted by: Nancy Gagnon | Wednesday, February 20, 2008 at 06:59 AM
Wow, I don't know if I can pick just one product? I am a ribbon addict, so I guess it would have to be the lovely colored grosgrain stitch ribbon-love it!! Thanks for the offer.

Posted by: lisa | Wednesday, February 20, 2008 at 11:40 AM
I only just discovered the vast array of the stamping world, and it's all thanks to A Muse stamps. My favorite new stamp is the owls on the branch. My mom and I for some reason always exchange owl figurines, memorabilia, etc. I could do some good owl treats with those... Order form please! Also, pick me as the winner please! :)
