Just Elements! Challenge #1

Good Morning Everyone! I hope everyone is having a great day so far.

The weather here in CNY has been fabulous! I can not remember when we had a March like this.
My mood is lifted each day the sun shows itself.

Anyways I had been looking through all my things and realized I have tons and tons of elements that dont get used because I have been so addicted to my cutting machines ( Cricuts and Cameo ). So I decided a few times a month I am going to do up some projects using these things I have laying around. No Cricuts! No Cameo!
Just me and my Elements!

For this card I used some old card stock I had laying around.
And the sentiment is from Close To My Heart -- Card Chatter Birthday!

First I would love it if you spread the word about this challenge. I am thinking of doing it every two weeks on a Thursday if this one does well. So the more people who know about it and play the better chance there is I will be doing a lot more! Here is a button you can use and link back too:)



- Submit your entries via inklinkz at bottom of post!
-For this challenge I want you to create a project using Just Elements! Do not use any of the die cutting machines!
-You must use a project created or posted on your blog after this date ( March 15th 2012 ). No old projects please!
- You must post your project to you blog with a link back to here.
- I would love it it you follow me via any of the following methods I have.
- Challenge ends Midnight the 25th!

- Winner will receive $10.00 to their paypal account OR a $10.00 Hobby Lobby Card. Winner will get to choose which one! Winner will not receive both! Just one or the other.

I look forward to seeing everyone's projects!

Wonderful idea to do what I call "old school" as in before the machines. Like the clock on your card.

I did it! No Cricut or any other die cutting machine. I cut my leaves and grass by hand. Fun challenge. Can't wait for the next!
