new banner!

Yay!  I hope you like our new blog banner.  Does it look OK on your screen?  Do you know the "proper" pixel width for a blog banner?

Just 5 more days until Valentine's Day.  Have you made your sweetie a card?  We will be busting out kids valentine's this weekend... lots of glitter is in my future! LOL!

Stay tuned for this week's fabulous COTW (card of the week) in our weekly a-muse-letter.  We have made some changes to our Email software and are keeping our fingers crossed  that things will go smoother from now on!  We are still working on even more enhancements for this so stay tuned.

Wowie!

Thanks to everyone that posted fabulous ideas for our clear stickers.  Care packages were mailed out to the first 20 posters yesterday.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!  Send me photos if you can and I will share here.

Thanks also for the birthday wishes!  I can't believe I'm 41 - how on earth did THAT happen?  Oh my!  My daughter's friend thinks I'm 104 so I think I'm lookin' pretty good for 104!!!

Working on a big project at the moment... will post some creative ideas soon.  Stay tuned!

Twinkle stickers

We are having so much fun with these!

In addition to stamping, my girls use these for pretend earrings (I won't let them get their ears pierced until they are 16), decorating personal items like walkmans and cell phones(or fisher-price equivalents as in our case! LOL), I've even added a few to my bike!

You can use a whole strip at a time.  But, if you are like me and like just one, for best results you should do this:

• Use a craft knife or scissors to cut the adhesive strip between the "gems"
• lift the gem with the blade of your craft knife (or tweezers) and put in place
• press lightly with your fingertips

TW101 Micro dot

TW102 Mini dot

TW103 Mini heart
TW104 Mini star

Retail price is $3.25/pkg

Let me just say that it is really hard to photograph these stickers!  If anyone has any tips on photgraphing things in cellophane packaging, I'd love to hear 'em!

Again, these should be added to the A Muse website soon.  These will be posted in the Stamps category (new).  We do not have a category for stickers on our current site.

Busy, busy, busy

Sorry to be MIA this past week.  We've been buried with our shipments for a-muse-a-palooza.  It's almost all out the door.  Wahoo!

We received a HUGE shipment of our clear stamps and we now *finally* have our new tiny flower alphabet set in stock.  This adorable lowercase alphabet was created by my good friend.  It is completely drawn by hand and is available in two sizes.   The letters on the small set range in height from 5/8" to 1.25".  The letters on the large set range in height from almost 1" to almost 2". 

It's not posted on our website yet so here's the deets if you are interested in ordering it.
Small set = 7-TFLSM - $14.99
Large set = 7-TFLLG - $29.99

Have a beautiful day! and a CRAZY Canada day!

Clear stamps added!

Yay!  It has been a great day for our website!  I just added our new clear stamps to the site.  Check them out!!!

I am still trying to figure out a way to show the whole alpha set when you click on the thumbnail image.  I have an idea that I will work on later this week.  For now, I must get home to eat dinner, play with my girls and fold laundry!

I will post tomorrow once the weekly a-muse-letter has been sent (hopefully this will be the case!)  This way, if you did not receive it, you can email us and we will look up your name on our list to make sure we have the correct address.

Enjoy the rest of your evening/night!
