To bring our 9th Birthday Bash to a close we've got one last present for YOU - our Birthday Blog Hop! Today we'll be visiting the Muses, as well as a few stamping friends who we're so happy to have celebrating with us!
We're also really excited about today's online release of Everything's Rosy too! And you'll get another look at these gorgeous new stamps along the way! So let's get to it!
I really love using soft, subtle colors with our Everything's Rosy stamps! It's just so easy to make a quick, elegant card with them. (And they look so pretty with just a bit of sparkle!)
Featured Stamps: Bonjour FL, Flutterby Flock, Leaf Frond II, and Queen Anne's Lace.
A lovely tag from Krystie ... aren't the pearls a perfect touch! And the curly ribbon! Gotta' love that! (Linda taught us how to do that in this post!)
Featured Stamps: Flutterby Flock, Merci, Big Bl Background.
And finally, this beauty from Elena! The color combination is just lovely, don't you think?
Featured Stamps: Scroll Border, Gossamer Wings, Hello FL.
And that's only the beginning! The Muses and their stamping friends are ready with so many lovely projects to share with you featuring these brand new stamps!
Some things you'll want to know before you start the hop:
We'll be giving away a Grand Prize to someone who leaves a comment on a blog along the way, starting with this one! So ... the more blogs you comment on, the better your chance for winning the Grand Prize! (But only one comment per blog, please.)
There are additional prizes to win on each blog! Be sure to follow instructions on their blogs for your chance at those individual prizes!
All winners will be announced right here on the A Muse Blog on Monday, May 10th! That gives you plenty of time to check out all the pretties on everyone's blogs and leave your comments!
Ready to go? Let's Hop!
Your first stop ... Krystie Hersch!
