I am a HUGE fan of A Muse stamps, and have quite a few. But I don't have ANY A Muse papers! What great blog candy!

Stamping Bella

I'm in love. IN LOVE, I tell you.

Are they not the coolest stamps ever?! I've seen them linked on a few blogs lately, so I think I'm probably the last person on earth to discover them.

I am going to purchase a few of these lovely bellas. I rarely buy non-A Muse stamps because I don't use them very much anymore. But these - I just have to have! They are so me. The bridal ones will be so fun!

Do any of you have any of the bella images? I'd love to see your creations!

(PS ... don't forget to comment on the previous post! I'll be drawing a lucky winner this afternoon!)

Freebie!

I have this hefty stack of yummy Pretty Little Papers by A Muse. These are discontinued patterns and/or colors, so I can't use them in classes anymore.

They are up for grabs! Just comment here and I'll draw a random winner this Friday.
