A-Muse-A-Palooza Challenge!

A few weeks ago, Emily from A Muse emailed me and asked if I'd be interested in hosting a challenge for A-Muse-A-Palooza. Well... of course I would love to host a challenge! Here are the deets:

Twinkle Time Challenge
We all love a little bling, right? A Muse images have so many fun places to add bling! Your challenge (should you choose to accept it!) is to find a fun way to incorporate rhinestones or other bling (Stickles, glitter, etc.) into your card. Use rhinestones as a border or embellish your image with glitter... whatever you can come up with to add some bling!

The Requirements
-- You must use at least one A Muse image on your card

-- Upload your card to the gallery on Splitcoaststampers using the keyword AP08TAYLOR. If you don't have a Splitcoast user account, click here. It is easy to create an account and free too!

-- Come back here and leave a comment on this post by Sunday, June 22nd at 11:59pm PST with a link to your creation. I'd love to check it out! This is also how you'll be entered into the prize drawing!

The Prize

You must be registered for A-Muse-A-Palooza in order to win the challenge prize. Click here to register... it's quick and easy! I will choose one random winner from among all the participants to win two of my favorite A Muse products... the Frosted Cupcake stamp and a package of Pink Kitchen notecards! I'll update this post soon with a picture of the prize.

My Sample

I used the Frosted Cupcake and the Purple Kitchen notecards for my sample. I added a purple rhinestone as the cherry, and I put an itty bitty rhinestone inside each of the polka dots on the background. It took forever to put those rhinestones on each polka dot, but it turned out so blingy! If only the photo would show the true sparkle!

I can't wait to see what you all come up with! Click here to view all of the wonderful submissions for the challenge.
Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you all have a wonderful day!

I only have 2 A Muse stamps and they are both sentiments, so my image is from another company, but I did use one of the sentiments. Here's my card:

Yippee! I finally found some time to get a card made for your challenge. It was fun looking for all the bling I could find to add to this card. Thanks for the chance to play. I just hate that my image is a little blurry because of the foam pads to raise the wand image. Oh well, what can ya do other than bring on the bling! LOL

Well, it's me again. I checked to make sure my link to Splitcoast was working and of course it didn't bring up my post. I decided to post it on my blog so you can check it out there. Here is my blog addy: http://moosisk.blogspot.com
It's the entry entitled "Bring on the bling!" So sorry to be such a pain today. :(

I'm a new stamper and had fun making a card that worked for both this "twinkle" challenge and the "out of the box" challenge. It was SO fun to stamp! I added glitter to the waves and twinkle stickers to the water droplets.

How fun! I got mine done finally (I actually I made a card for this, then realized it fit the Out of the Box challenge too, so I posted that one there, and made another one for Taylor's!) It's on SCS and my blog...links for both enclosed!
TFL!
