Creative Grace: Welcome to the party!

26 April 2010

Welcome to the party!

This is a very special occasion that I'm thrilled to be a part of. A Muse has been an important part of bringing crafty goodness to my life for a while now.

Today I get to look back with the other Muses and share a card made with a vintage A Muse stamp!

This adorable kite stamp is now a part of a fabulous *vintage A Muse* clear set!!! It just screams A Muse to me - so happy, cheerful, and simple :) It's those signature elements of A Muse that I fell in love with when I first discovered their stamps several years ago. You are gonna have your head in the clouds when you get your inky paws on this set!!! Too fun!

On a side note, this vintage trip is making me a little reflective today... It seems as though there are only a modest percentage of stamp/craft stores across North America that have managed to hang on out there in recent years. I *wish* there was one left in my neighborhood, but sadly I'm only left with impersonal jumbo stores that don't sell the wonderful product lines, like A Muse, that we all love! In fact, I drive pretty far to teach my classes at stores that do. Please remember to support your local stamp/craft store. Or, if you are like me and live far from one, call one up (they are often glad to ship to you)! Sometimes, that 40%/off coupon just isn't worth it ;) Supporting these local stores ensures that you have fabulous choices in products, like A Muse!

So, with that in mind, let the 9th birthday party begin!!!
