Linda Carnell, Lead Designer and Owner of A Muse
Linda's love affair with rubber stamps began when she was just 7 years old. She fondly remembers her first set of stamps that she used to decorate pretty much everything - including herself! Now, as the owner of A Muse, Linda doesn’t find as much time to stamp as she would like. That doesn't stop her from dreaming up new stamping ideas in her sleep! With three small children and a business to run, simple stamping is her motto. With a just a few stamps, some fun paper and a little glitter, Linda creates beautiful cards in just a few minutes.

Elena Shacochis
Elena has been stamping since she was a young girl. Throughout the years she has changed her stamping styles to see what she liked best. Eventually she discovered A Muse Art Stamps and found that clean and simple designs were perfect. The simplicity and convenience of A Muse stamps helps Elena finish her creations quickly. This is especially important now that she is raising four children and time is tight. She looks forward to the day when the little ones stop stealing her stamps and carrying them through the house!
