And November begins the holidays -- beginning with my son's birthday (he turned 17 this year!) So, while you can still pick up the fabulous calendars from October and <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_2OgVxIslYtLXBLNUFQQnBSVFE/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">the Black Friday Sale</a> continues for a few more days, it's on to the December specials -- including a new Monthly Collection!<br />
<br />
First -- <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_2OgVxIslYtLXBLNUFQQnBSVFE/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">the Black Friday Sale</a> is going on <u>through December 7th:</u><br />
To celebrate the start of the Christmas season, the weeks following Thanksgiving, we've got a fantastic sale for you to snag some fabulous stamp sets (some include the dies) and embellishments. Prices range from $1 to $15 and there is definitely something for EVERYONE, so be sure to share this SALE with everyone you know. Sale is limited to stock on hand, so shop early for best selection!<br />
<br />
And the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_2OgVxIslYtbkM1N0lOTmRVb00/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">December Monthly Collection</a> -- which has everything you need to start your planner for the New Year -- is available this month only! I am enjoying the clip duo die set -- and have a feeling everyone on my Christmas List will get one personalized to them! And I have to say, the five points alphabet is going to get a lot of use, as well!<br />

I am also starting to work on projects for my library colleagues -- I love these tags, and the clip duo die set makes an easy addition that can be used year-round!<br />

I am thrilled to announce the availability of the A Muse Studio <a href="https://www.amusestudio.com/Order.asp?InvDispCatID=45" target="_blank">2016 Calendar Download project for Charity.</a> The proceeds from this year's Calendars will benefit Water 1st. Water 1st is a unique organization that is making a real impact on the lives of girls and women in some of the poorest countries in the world by providing clean water and toilets.</div>

Our printable calendars are a fun crafting project and make wonderful gifts to give and receive! There are five Calendar sizes available in black & white and color versions for a total of ten Calendars. These calendars are printable (PDF) files that you can print at home as many times as you'd like. They are fun to personalize with stamps, dies and photographs and make a great holiday project.</div>

Water 1st's unique approach has led to the permanent installation of 1,426 water & sanitation projects in ten years which has transformed the lives of over 134,00 people in the world's poorest communities.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The lack of clean drinking water - something we take for granted every day - impacts children and oppresses women. According to Water 1st, over 5 million people, mostly children under the age of 5, die from water related illnesses each year. Every day, 200 million women and girls carry every drop of water their families use. 100 million children, mostly girls, receive no education because they are carrying water.</div>
<div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Most water projects typically fail within five years, yet ALL of the Water 1st installations are still operational today. This is because of their unique approach. I encourage you to read more about this wonderful organization.</div>

You can see for yourself:<br />
<br />

<br />
One of my absolute favorite new items is the <i>landscape die set</i>:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Landscape die set, with a sentiment from Essential Sentiments, too.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
With stitched clouds, a left and right hill as well as a curve -- all with stitching - I can see this being a very versatile set! This weekend I needed a card for my mother-in-law and couldn't wait to brighter her day with fluffy white clouds! Next I'll have to pick up the <i>Our Town</i> and <i>Our Town, Too</i> sets to add to those hills!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
I used "older" sets on the other card I needed this weekend, a card for a 68 year-old who is full of fun and whimsy! I love that more word dies have been added with this catalog -- from <i>hi</i> to <i>celebrate</i> and even <i>hooray</i>,<i> boo </i>and <i>eek </i>to mix and match with your favorite sentiment (or not -- sometimes a single word is exactly enough!)<br />
<br />
A new catalog is a great time to join A*Muse, and there is a special for June and July that makes it even better.<br />

As the month winds down, so does the sale on retiring sets! Some have already sold out, including Brushstrokes, Charming Gardeners, Enjoy the Ride and Pretty Peonies 2, but some of the other really good ones are still in stock as I type! Here, again, is <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_2OgVxIslYtTXktZVFxc2xJNnM/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">the list</a>. If you see something you want, better grab it!<br />
<br />
I got a tiny glimpse of some of the sets that will be out in the new catalog, and it is a really great mix of styles, with some new cardstock designs and dies thrown in (I already have a favorite -- the Landscape Dies set -- and I haven't seen much yet! This is something I didn't even know I was holding my breath for!) The new catalog launches June 1st!<br />
<br />
Until then, happy stamping!<br />

It's that time again where we must say goodbye to some of our beloved stamp
sets and other products to make room in the new catalog. Saying goodbye to some of these set is tough, but the exciting news
is that the new <strong>A Muse Studio Annual Catalog & Idea Book</strong> is just around the corner!<br />
<br />
Based on last year's success, we're offering another progressive sale on retiring products (<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_2OgVxIslYtb09yclFfRlY1aGc/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">click to see the list here</a>). There

It really is hard to lose some of my very favorites, but I can hope that ALL of the March Collection makes it in the new catalog -- here is a card I made for a friend who recently received her library degree and accepted a professional position at the Texas State Library.<br />

This month's collection is a fun celebration of birthdays -- since in just a few weeks we celebrate the "birth" of A Muse Studio 14 years ago! <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_2OgVxIslYtcUJqOUpjUjMwczA/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">You can see the entire collection here!</a> I love how versatile some of this month's sets are -- ice cream and summer go hand in messy, dripping hand! There is also a new mini-album in neon pink stripes, and washi tape in stripes, polka dot and plaid.<br />

There is so much to LOVE about A Muse Studio! And, now is a great time to
join. This is truly a ground-floor opportunity - there are still a few states
where we do not yet have Consultants!! During the months of April & May, we
are celebrating our 14th anniversary by continuing our $49 Basic Starter Kit
special (save $50 off the regular price!) and $99 Deluxe Starter Kit (over $250
in product value!) with an extra gift for everyone. Every new Consultant that
between April 1st and May 31st will receive a FREE stamp set <u>of their choice</u>. <br />
<br />
Now for the sad news -- at least for me. The release of a new Monthly Collection means the March collection is no longer available! I am really hoping ALL of the March sets make it to the new catalog this summer, because one month was definitely NOT long enough for everyone that needs these stamps to get their hands on them!<br />

I am going to get a LOT of use out of these sets and matching dies -- they are so perfect to match with other sets. <br />
<br />
Because of the shipping delays caused by the longshoreman disputes there will not be a monthly collection in May as we anticipated, however the annual catalog arrives in June, and that's just around the corner!<br />
<br />
Be sure to check out the <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_2OgVxIslYtcUJqOUpjUjMwczA/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">April collection</a> for some "sweet" sets, and I'll be back with some sneak peeks from the new catalog as soon as they are shared (and probably more from the March sets -- I just can't help myself!). In the meantime,<br />
<br />
Happy stamping!<br />

The March Collection has been released, and it's fabulous! <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_2OgVxIslYtUE1sVHlEdmQwWGc/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">View the PDF here to see for yourself!</a> This collection includes 4 stamp sets with matching dies, 2 sizes of washi tape, 4X4 mini albums, Vintage Blossom paper straws and a paper collection called Spring Blossom! In fact, the whole collection is fresh and Spring-like. I put my order in last night, so I hope I'll have some of my own things to show you soon, but in the meantime here are a few from the A Muse Studio blog (<a href="http://amusestudio.typepad.com/a-muse-studio/">http://amusestudio.typepad.com/a-muse-studio/</a>)<br />

I got in some of the sets from the January Collection (AND the February Collection, shhh) and can't wait to play with them this week.

I'll post them when I get some made -- they hold a Hershey Nugget or something similar, so a perfect bite-sized treat!<br />

<br />
Happy Stamping -- and Happy New Year!<br />

(Here is a link to the AMuse Studio blog post where Linda explains how the printable calendar became such an important annual offering: <a href="http://amusestudio.typepad.com/a-muse-studio/2014/10/free-calendar-downloads.html">http://amusestudio.typepad.com/a-muse-studio/2014/10/free-calendar-downloads.html</a>)CSeegerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16103855370131242651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2919210647601665495.post-42255165455850574322014-12-31T16:26:00.001-08:002015-01-01T10:19:54.453-08:00Happy New Year!The last quarter of 2014 was so jam-packed that I am looking forward to a bit of (relative) calm to start out 2015! My family has been off since Christmas Eve, and while we usually take a trip between Christmas and New Year we stayed home to catch up a bit and work on some house projects. The fact that it has been cold and windy has limited some of the outdoor projects, however . . .<br />
<br />
AMuse Studio is starting the new year with the first of our monthly collections, this one focusing on Valentine's Day. I am excited about this change -- instead of waiting for the annual catalog to come out in June, there will be new products and new ideas available each and every month!* I got a sneak peak of the February Collection this morning, and some of the Easter sets are SO darn cute. Plus, I'm probably not supposed to mention the new washi tape -- called flora & fauna -- but how could I NOT?! But that's February, I'm WAY ahead of myself!<br />
<b></b><br />
<b>What is a Monthly Collection? </b><br />
A Monthly Collection are a curated collection of products designed to stand alone and work together with the products in our main catalog offering you endless creative possibilities! Each collection will include 3
to 5 new stamp sets and a variety of other products that support the collection
- possibly some dies, assorted paper collections, and fun accessories! Monthly
Collections are designed to work with the main catalog but will also stand
alone and will only be available for purchase that month. Some Monthly Collection items <b>*may*</b> end up
in the main catalog, however, this should not be expected. (So, if you
love a product from the monthly collection, you'd better get it that month!)<br />
<br />
*The only exceptions are June and August -- there will be no monthly collection because of the annual catalog (the BIG one) coming out June 1st and the Holiday (Halloween & Christmas) Catalog on August 1st!<br />

Unfortunately I will not have time to make even one card that day -- it falls at the beginning of "BANDtober" and my family will be taking on important roles in the biggest fundraiser of the year, the Rough Rider Marching Contest. I will be selling souvenirs while my husband greets the buses carrying the bands as we host bands from all over Texas. My son, of course will be performing -- although as the host it is an exhibition performance as we are not eligible to win our own competition :-) This is usually the first event of competition season and it's fun to see the various bands' programs and props -- some of them are so amazing that you forget that this is only high school, but some are so show heavy you think they forgot this is <u>band,</u> where the MUSIC is supposed to steal the show!<br />
<br />
So, knowing how busy the next month is going to be I got a few cards in this week. I recently had an online Thirty-One Gifts party so I could get a hostess exclusive bag (which I LOVE!) and so had a couple of thank you notes for my friends that ordered.<br />

So whatever you end up doing on World Card Making Day, I hope you enjoy it!<br />
<br />
Happy Stamping!<br />

P.S. Here is the bag I had the party just to get -- it has so many pockets and is very roomy. It is also reversible, with a black chevron on the other side :<br />

I think I'll get to stamp a bit this weekend -- and possibly with some friends! I'll share my creations next week. I also have some pages to share of our late July trip around North Texas -- as soon as I get my Cricut back to finish the titles. It's nice to have a machine that could be useful at work -- except when you need it at home at the same time! I let the Marketing Committee borrow it to create titles and images for the Library's bulletin board on campus -- I can't wait to see what they've come up with (but I hope they finish soon, I have pages to title!!) I was able to get quite a few pages assembled during a one-day retreat in Austin last month with the Heart of Texas Scrapbook (HOTS) Club. I met some lovely scrapbookers and with Austin only an hour away I think I'll join them more regularly.<br />
<br />
I hope you are having a fabulous week.<br />
<br />
Happy Stamping,<br />

I love dies, of course, but if I have a lot of something to cut for a project I'd much rather let my machine do it for me!<br />
<br />
Holiday Hoopla ends October 31st. Start planning your cards and projects now because the holidays really ARE <u>just around the corner</u>!<br />
<br />
I'll be back to post some cards I made -- but I couldn't wait to share all of this with you!<br />

For a limited time (just the month of August, actually, and while supplies last) you can save 40% on select holiday-themed sets and dies, during the Every Day Is A Holiday promotion!<br />
<br />
Notice I didn't say Christmas, I said holiday -- from Halloween to New Year's Day (and even Valentine's Day if you look closely) there are holiday sets on sale!

I love that the matching dies are included in this sale, too! Don't forget the annual AMuse Studio holiday catalog is just a month away, as well! School is fixin' to start here in Texas (my son starts marching band camp in a week) so it's time to start thinking about Fall and get those holiday projects started!<br />
<br />

<br />And the sizing of the stamped word make this set perfect for pocket card projects, as well:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I love that I was able to crop out the busyness of this picture and focus on my son and his Troopmate at their first Merit Badge University (Boy Scouts). The card is only 3X4, perfect to slip into one of the A Muse album pocket pages!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
In addition I wanted to make a thank you card for an order placed through my webstore, so I used the thanks die -- cut in the NEW habenero cardstock, which is quickly becoming a new favorite -- on some of the patterned paper from the new catalog. I love the way the splash of color pops on the chalky background!<br />
<br />

I'll be out of town tomorrow -- celebrating my 16th wedding anniversary -- and in Dallas for conference beginning Saturday, but I have a big announcement lined up for while I'm gone, so check back!<br />
<br />
Until then, happy stamping!<br />

I played on the Oscars theme and cut a film strip on my Cameo and used some paper from a Fiesta paperpack that had some nice elements I could incorporate, and other elements that were placed so that they were easy to cover up! I was sure to leave room to journal, and I will have him tell me what the page should say, since I really want to capture his memories of the evening. I'm sure he will mention the fact that the King's crown was misplaced just before the event, so he had to be crowned with a HUGE sombrero! But I think, more than anything his story will focus on the fabulous friends he got to spend time with before they graduated.<br />
<br />
My biggest concern now is where to put these pages! I didn't get many photos or details from his freshman year, so his "High School Album" is so far all about band!! I'm sure next year will have more events as he plans to participate in some photography competitions and take photos for the yearbook, but it's going to have an awful lot of band again, too!<br />

I'm happy with the pages, and plan to get in my studio this week to get some other events scrapped. That's the joy of a "staycation." I needed a few days to get organized before heading off to my annual pharmacy educators conference, but mostly I think I needed a few days not at work!<br />
<br />
Happy Stamping!<br />

She doesn't scrapbook (which is a shame because they travel all over the world -- but I digress) so I decided to help her create an album to save all those memories in a convenient place. I gathered all the pictures I had, and those that were shared by one of her colleagues via Dropbox, but also left her pages to fill with other pictures she had of the evening. I won't share all the details of the fun event, but I will mention that Alanis Morrisette played an intimate set in the backyard. Oh, and there was a Taco Truck sporting a spoiler in her driveway, too!<br />

This was truly a labor of love, and so much fun. I hope it is a gift she will treasure -- and I hope she'll allow me to do the next one (in 10 years), as well!<br />
<br />
Note: this one done in a pink 6X8 Tell Your Story album and many but not all of the stamps and embellishments are from A Muse. Being able to mix and match the pocket pages allowed me the versatility to make this project really shine! If you have any questions about this project, the album or anything else, let me know!<br />
<br />
Happy Stamping!<br />

One of my favorite new sets is Big Words. I've only had the opportunity to make a few cards with it thus far, but that is more a function of an incredibly busy summer than my affection for it!<br />

I also LOVE the many opportunities of the Sprinkled With Love set -- and I found the perfect background paper at Tuesday morning to complement the donuts in this set:<br />

I don't have it yet, but there is also a die that fits all the donut shapes!! I can see a Baker's Dozen of cards with this set in my future!<br />
<br />
And finally, I had the unfortunate reason to send a sympathy card last month and I brought out a couple of sets that aren't new and my Tombow markers and made this card with the daffodil in the He is Risen set. I like the muted simplicity for such a somber occasion.<br />

I'll try to get back in the craft room before I go on vacation and to a work conference later this month -- I still have some new sets to try out, and I'd love to show them to you! And the Holiday catalog is just around the corner (September 1st!) so get ready for some peeks of that next month.<br />
<br />
Until then -- Happy Stamping!<br />

<img height="269" src="https://www.securedcontent.net/amuse/our-images/2014birthdaypromofancybox.jpg" width="640" />This is a big month at A Muse Studio -- as we celebrate 3 years AND the retiring stamps & accessories to make room for the new catalog, coming this summer!</div>
<br />
<br />
First up, <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_2OgVxIslYtVEVTMlNpZG52WkE/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">look at the great gifts YOU get for our birthday, two free stamp sets</a> -- one with a $50 order and the other for hostesses! And each set has matching die(s) that you can purchase (as part of your $50 order, perhaps?)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's time to say goodbye to some of the products in our current catalog. We know... it's hard to say goodbye. To make it easier, and add to the fun, this year we are having a Progressive Sale for the items on our Retiring Products List.</div>
<div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_2OgVxIslYtWlVXdFdZRWhRTEU/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Here is the PDF with the sets that we'll be saying farewell to</a>, along with the progressive discount. Not that the items with marked * are low in quantity -- and once they are gone you missed your chance, so don't wait too long!</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Please note: <b>The following items are also retiring from our 2013-2014 Catalog </b>but are not on the Retiring Products list because they are presently sold out:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
TPCRST1 - piercer/stylus<br />
TADRE01 - adhesive remover<br />
TAD0038 - as die set - vintage labels 2<br />
TAD0032 - as die - fry box<br />
TAD0036 - as die set - rosettes<br />
RABT204 - baker's twine - cherry<br />
ESWH001 - holiday assorted washi (3 rolls)<br />
SNSM042 - quick & cute valentines<br />
SJEF002 - just my type<br />
SISS013 - rock star<br />
SISJ023 - let's be adventurers</div>
</div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
You will notice that we are retiring most of our A Muse Studio felt colors. You will see three of these colors (Vanilla, Cherry and Fern) appear in future seasonal catalogs - like the 2014 Holiday Catalog. All other colors are retiring for good.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
You will also notice that a large number of A Muse Studio dies are retiring, including our line of exclusive dies by Spellbinders. Unfortunately, we’re no longer able to offer these dies at a price that’s competitive. But don’t despair! We know that many of you love die cutting and there are tons of creative new die designs coming in the new catalog!</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Retiring stamp sets can still be selected for Hostess Rewards at the appropriate discounted price. </div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
With all that good news, I have some bad news to share, as well. T<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">he release of the <b>2014 Catalog and Inspiration Guide</b> will be delayed to July 1st 2014. We have been advised that a stamp manufacturing issue beyond our control has placed us in this predicament. BUT I have gotten a preview of some of the new sets, and color additions and I think the new catalog will be worth the wait!</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">As always, if you have any questions or need more information on any of this -- don't hesitate to contact me.</span><br />
