AP Challenge #1: Square!

Welcome to our first A-MUSE-A-PALOOZA challenge of 2009!! My name is Jennie and I will be your AP challenge hostess! There will be a new challenge for you each Monday right here as we countdown to A-MUSE-A-PALOOZA!  So grab your stamps and get ready to play because there are some fun PRIZES!  At the end of each week, we'll draw a random winner from all the entries on the challenge post.  Let's get started!!    

The challenge for this week is SQUARE, and here is how you can play along: 

• Create a card using the word SQUARE as your inspiration. This challenge is very open to interpretation, so get creative! 
• The card must feature at least one (1) A Muse stamp image.
• Upload your card to your blog or to a public gallery such as twopeasinabucket.com or Splitcoaststampers.com. If you upload to a public gallery, be sure to include the keyword AP09SQUARE 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 Sunday, June 21st.

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

Here is a card I made for this challenge. I went with a square notecard and a square panel in the center of the card. 

 

I hope you enjoy this challenge and I can't wait to see what you create! Get stamping!! :)
