Catalogs are Going Out Today!

I am a busy bee getting catalogs out to those of you who have requested them. If I can send you an a*muse studio 2011 Catalog and Inspiration Guide and/or a 2011 Holiday Catalog and Inspiration Guide, just email me.

I made a little note card to tuck in with the catalog. It's made with the supplies as the party favors in the previous post.

No time for chit-chat I just wanted to show and tell. Gotta run. Thanks for stoppin' by.

Want to see the catalogs right now? Stop by my website.

Action Shot - World Card Making Day Party Favors

What?! Your not coming to my World Card Making Day Party...too bad! I am busy, busy working on making it a kick it day!

Here is a quick sneak peek at the party favors I am making.

Yup! That's what I am doing right now...
Cute and yummy! I am wrapping little Hershey's Miniatures in pretty a*muse Polka Dot and Gingham cardstock. Then I stack 'em, tie 'em in a bundle and add a tag. The tag features stamps from a*muse studio 'School Days'. I used French Roast, Grass and Cranberry a*muse studio pigment inks. I inked the edge of the tag with Latte a*muse studio ink...I must say, I like it. I think it is going to be my go to ink for edges now.

Wanna join the party, email me! The more the merrier!
