Challenge 7 - For Kids!

Hi Everyone!
I'm Emily, member of the A Muse Design Team.  I've had a blast coordinating the fun events here on the A-MUSE-A-PALOOZA blog, and now it's my turn to share our last fun challenge with you!  I hope you'll play along!
This challenge is a chance for us to stamp with our kids! And of course, we have a fun prize to be drawn randomly from all registered A*Muse*A*Palooza participants that play!  (Note that only you need to be registered, not your children.)

Here's how it works:

• Get out your stamps and let your kids create the cards!  No kids? Then create a kids-themed card!
• The card must feature at least one (1) A Muse stamp image
• Upload your child's card and/or yours to your gallery on Splitcoaststampers.com, taking care to include the keyword AP08KIDS1 (for your child's card) or AP08KIDS2 (for yours) in the photo description or keyword box.
• When you're finished, copy the url/link of your upload and post it in the comments area of this post by midnight, SATURDAY July 19th. (One day earlier than usual.) 

You may submit more than one entry for this challenge.  The more you and your kids create, the more chances you have to win!

Below are some sample cards by my son, Geeta's son, Michelle's friend's daughter Becca, me, Becky Rusher, and Michelle Clark to get you thinking!  (Click on each card to see them bigger.)

Challenge 8 - Silly Celebrations!

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!
