This week we are getting wacky! Your challenge is to create a card design for a non-traditional celebration. Did you know that Friday is "Take Your Dog to Work Day" and Saturday is "Let it Go" day!? How about a "Congratulations on Cleaning your Stamp Space" card - LOL! So many silly possibilities, so have fun! You may use your choice of ink, papers, colors, stamps (please use at least one A Muse stamp if possible), embellishments, etc.
Leave a comment on this post (one comment per card) and include a blog or gallery page link to a photo of your new original creation by midnight Pacific time Sunday, June 24th. (Cards must be new creations not previously posted or submitted to any A Muse contest.) Then we'll draw a random winner on Monday. This week the prize is a SURPRISE!
You may submit more than one entry for this challenge - the more you create, the more chances you have to win!
Click here for a sample by designer Heather Meeson from her "Talk Like a Pirate Day" party!
Don't have a blog or online gallery? Leave a link to your card photo from your online photo album (such as Kodak EasyShare, Snapfish, Flickr, etc). Or see our links at the end of challenge 1 to setup a Splitcoaststampers gallery.
Can't wait to see all your silly celebration creations!
FINALLY! Oh my... I've been checking ALL day. YEAH! New challenge... Thanks!

June 27th is "Happy Birthday to you day." Apparently, it's everyone's birthday that day? Is that wacky enough to justify an entry?
