The A Muse Designers are pretty amazing! They constantly suprise me with their creativity using our stamps and papers. Elena's Policeman card is truly the work of a creative genius!
Here's a quick card I made the other night for Elena's AP2008 "Out of the Box" Challenge. I think I got stuck on Jenn's AP08 East Coast Challenge because the colors and the ric-rac detail work for that challenge as well. LOL!
The bunny stamp is our Little Bunny stamp who is a back-facing bunny and has no face. I used a fine black marker to add some eyes.
As many of you know, I grew up in Canada. One of my favorite things about living in the US is the 4th of July! What a celebration!! Everyone goes all out on the 4th. EVERYONE is wearing something red, white and blue. Old Navy sells USA t-shirts that we grab on sale for $3-$5! Such a deal. Typically we hit one of the local parades and later drive around watching fireworks. We are lucky to have two MAJOR fireworks displays in Seattle every year. We live on a ridge so we can see both if we go just a short distance from our house. To me, the 4th is absolutely magical... and so inside this card, I stamped Have a Magical Day! All stamps & paper by A Muse.
July is a busy month for us because we also celebrate Canada Day on the 1st and Bastille Day on the 10th. Heck, we just love an excuse to bake a cake, decorate and wear face paint! (OK, the girls and I do... my husband not so much! LOL!)
Have a great day!
*LOVE IT* Great minds think alike. LOL!!

Oh, you're Canadian just like me, eh? Well I wish you a Happy upcoming Canada Day! I love the bunny...he's so cute! I'm a tad "out of the box" challenged. All I can see is all I can see. Fortunately, I've a keen sense of where to look for great ideas! A Muse is my favourite link! hee hee!

Fantastic card! We love the fourth also - the parade around our block with a *real* fire engine is a highlight of our year. Last year we all sported A Muse tatoos, too - "God bless America" on each arm in blue stazon!

I really like your card! The bunny in the hat is perfect! In fact...it looks like it was totally ment to be :) Is the white and red ric-rac strip paper or actually a ribbon?
