There is still plenty of time to enter your guess for our "how many stamps?" game and to participate in the sketch challenge - see posts below for details!
Our next featured store is Rubber Stamp Fantasy in Marietta, Georgia.
Rubber Stamp Fantasy has been in business for 12 years and is located on the historic downtown square in Marietta, GA. The store has a welcoming décor with over 3000 square feet of space, including a loft classroom, which can accommodate lots of people.
Owners, Debbie and Gary Taratoot, run the store…(just the two of them) and the store carries most everything that goes with the art of stamping. Their focus is stamps, stamps and more stamps! When we asked Debbie what her favorite A Muse stamp was, she said “How can anyone choose?”
Debbie started the business as a gift shop in 1984, selling hand painted personalized gifts. Gary joined her in 1990 and they expanded the items they were selling to include stamps. The stamp side of the business grew and grew, so they decided to close the gift shop in 1994 and open Rubber Stamp Fantasy. They even had to move from their initial space to a larger one and have been in the new location since 2004.
The customers that shop in Rubber Stamp Fantasy quickly become “extended family” to Debbie and Gary. They share a love of stamping and paper crafting and also support each other through life’s ups and downs.
For A-MUSE-A-PALOOZA, they plan on card blitz classes throughout the week and make and takes on Sat. July 14th. There will be prizes and refreshments, too.
Can I recommend a store?? My local stamp/scrap store ROCKS and carries lots of A Muse stamps! www.talkpaperscissors.com
