"Think simple. Think A Muse." That's always been our mission--making it easy to create delightful cards with those clever little touches that enchant the recipient! 
I could make stacks of these kinds of cards all day and never tire of them--"Make It Fast & Fabulous" features a number of my most frequently used A Muse stamps, easy techniques and darling finishing touches--I hope you can join me! GOOD TIMES!!!
I'm so excited to be teaching for the first time ever at Impress in Seattle! This Favorite Florals class is *so* much FUN!!! Features some of my all-time favoritest "WOW" techniques! And, in Make it Fast & Fabulous, we'll be making a stack of cards where I show you how to take a simple design and kick it up a notch with some very easy touches! Hope you can join me!
Well, I bet you thought I'd run off and given up blogging altogether, eh?! Heh, heh, heh! Well, I had to take a break--too many other things (family and such) have kept me runnin' mach 3 with m'hair ablaze. *wink* I promised pics of Hayley's wedding, and soon as I get those from the photographer, I'll do an exposé of sorts. *big grin*
Needless to say, she was a STUNNING bride (Dave and I do make rather beautiful babies, if I do say so m'self! *snarf*), the wedding was everything I hoped for and then some. I'll dish more when I have pics to illustrate my ramblings. LOL!
Got an email outta' the wild blue yonder from Natasha Trupp, who I've always affectionately referred to as "Tash", from ever since I had the privilege of working with her on the Dirty Dozen over on SCS.
I'm a *HUGE* fan of Natasha's art style--it has always been the absolute epitomé of clean & simple--she inspires me no end! And, as I'm sure you are already aware, she's the culprit that started the Clean & Simple Blog, which is one of my favorite online haunts.
When she invited me to participate in a blog hop challenge celebrating Clean & Simple Sketch 100, well I think you coulda' heard me squealing from miles and miles around. *chuckle*

And, if you'd like to play along, visit the Clean & Simple blog and check out sketch 100--you can input a link to your creation there so others can pop by for a visit and ogle your creation and leave some comment love! *wink*

Hope to see you there!
I'm answering another round of stamping questions you've shared in the Lounge (our online forums)!
This webisode features topics ranging from fussy cutting to tying "perfect" bows, adding texture to your cards, and tips for thermal/heat embossing.
Be sure to watch Parts I and II for answers to all the questions in this month's webisode.
If you have any difficulty watching the video here, try viewing it directly on YouTube, and thanks so much for watching!
