A Muse by the Dozen

Think simple. Think A Muse.

Have you ever heard that saying? If you're answer is "yes" then you know all about A Muse Art Stamps. If you haven't ever heard of seen A Muse stamps...then go check them out. A Muse products are designed as a collection. With these stamp you can create cards quickly and easily.

A little over a year ago my granddaughter was born and my daughter and I made birth announcements. We had gone to a local stamp store (Stamp Works) to look for ideas and find a stamp. My daughter decided on a stamp called ABC mobil from A Muse. At the time we had NO idea about A Muse stamps, she just pick it because there was a sample in the store using that stamp that was super cute, yet totally simple. Take a look at the birth announcement here. (excuse the poor photography) It was from that project we started really looking at all the cute stamps from A Muse.

OK.....now that I have explained how I got started using these stamps...take a look at some of my recent creations. Remember - you can be as simple or as elaborate as you like. You can apply the A Muse style to any creations with any stamp! :)

Don't forget to click on the pics if you want to see them in larger detail.
