It's been a whirlwind for me these past few days as A*MUSE*A*PALOOZA draws to a close! In fact, this fabulous new holiday release by A Muse is now available! As always, we appreciate you supporting your local stamp stores and getting your stamps from them! In addition to the fabulous stores that participated in A*MUSE*A*PALOOZA, many others will be receiving shipments of stamps in the next couple days. There's nothing like seeing the stamps and sample cards in person. However, if you don't have a stamp store near you, you can now find these treasures on the A Muse website.
I taught three classes this past weekend at Stampin' EJs in Costa Mesa! It was a lot of fun getting glitter everywhere, laughing a lot, and eating cupcakes! I thought you might like to see a couple pictures of the treats I brought to our little kick-off party Friday night...
I used our brand new Mini Flake stamp, the sentiment "enjoy" (from the Baking clear set), a bit of glitter, a fabulous twinkle sticker and viola! Happy cupcakes!
I also figured that with the cupcake goodness, people would need to wash it down...
These were actually simple to make. I just wrapped some grass green petite gingham paper and made a label using the new Wreath and Berries stamp and Have A Cool Yule sentiment.
The weekend ended at Stampin' EJ's with drawings for the fabulous A*MUSE*A*PALOOZA prizes! We were lucky that two of the winners, Rachel and Shannon, were there in person to get their prizes!
I hope everyone enjoyed all of the A*MUSE*A*PALOOZA festivities! Today I have to switch gears in my brain as I will be a part of a team of great educators this week that will be putting on a professional development institute where we will teach chemistry to elementary school teachers! Wish us luck :)
Those cupcakes look delicious Jill!! I love the toppers and the waters too! So fun! :)
