This week we've got a very special treat for you! We thought it had been way too long since we'd gotten together with our friends over at Hero Arts and ... well ... swapped stamps! So what happens when a few of our Muses head over to the Hero Arts blog and the super talented gals from Hero Arts visit us? A lot of stampy goodness! Join Lisa Spangler and I this week as we host the 2010 A Muse/Hero Arts Designer Swap Week!
Welcome the uber-talented Lisa Spangler! Whether over on the Hero Club Blog or on her own blog, sideoats + scribbles, Lisa is constantly wow'ing me with eye candy! And today, it's all right here!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
You know I did some squealing when I saw this one! Lisa mixed and matched some of my favorite A Muse florals to create a fabulous background! And if that wasn't enough to make me love it, just a hint of Blackberry Damask adds another layer of depth!
A single clear twinkle sticker finishes the Zinnia (and if you look closely, she's finised it all off with a sheer layer of sparkle! So pretty!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
How stinkin' cute is this little notebook? I really love the handmade dot outline and just a hint of dimensional glaze over the mushroom caps!
****************************************************************************************************************************
What do you think is inside this cute little parcel?
A cutie patootie greeting - that's what! So simple and so cute!
****************************************************************************************************************************
If, like me, you follow Lisa's blog ... I think it's pretty safe to say that Lisa loves riding her bike! So I wasn't surprised to see this adorable creation with our Cyclist stamp!
And don't you just LOVE all the Heart Twinkle Stickers flowin' out of the basket!? So fun!
Lisa's designs are always so inspiring! Eye candy, indeed! Thank you SO much, Lisa! I love 'em all!
****************************************************************************************************************************
But the fun doesn't end there! To celebrate Designer Swap Week, we're gonna' give YOU a chance to win a prize picked from some of Lisa's favorite A Muse products! Simply leave a comment on this thread and let us know what you're favorite A Muse stamp is! A winner will be chosen, at random, later this week!
But wait! Which of the Muses did we swap for Lisa? Well ... today it's me! *laugh* Head on over to the Hero Club Blog to see what I made! (There are give-a-ways there this week too!) And be sure to join us tomorrow when we make yet another designer swap!
I loved the bike card. Nothing like riding around and spreading the love!

How can I choose just one favorite AMUSE stamps??!! I have to say though, that I'm loving the row of buildings. Lots of possibilities there!

Way too many favorite stamps but I really love the fawn and Modern Wood background from your Woodland collection

Oh, so cute! cute! cute! What a cool idea to pull a switch! Really like Lisa's samples! Amuse and Hero really are very different in the stamp styles so I can't wait to see what else is in store! Thank you for the variety in blog hops!

I always wonder where the artists get their inspiration and that mug next to Lisa's first card gave *me* ideas for those future creativity blocks, heh ;-) My current favorite stamp by A Muse is the chocolate assortment - it's great for men, women, children for ANY occasion ^_^

How cute! I love the little "city" created out of all these ittle houses! My favorite stamp is the cafe stamp - it's so versatile to use for invitations as well as for cheer-ups or just to say hello.

I love Lisa's work and follow her blog, always so cute. I especially like that last card with the bicycle stamp...adding those hearts just made it even more adorable!

All of them are great, but I have to say the bicycle stamp is my favorite.

WOW! Love the folding card. Thanks for the great inspiration!

I love the cards Lisa did....and bicycle with the hearts floating out of it just makes me smile! Woo Hoo! BUT what is my favorite AMUSE stamp? I really love AMUSE stamp sentiments. There is always one that has just the perfect thought!

It's hard to pick just one AMuse stamp, but I use the solid zinnia alot. The card today gives me another way to use it! :)
