If you haven't received your envelope yet, you will in the next couple of days.

In your envelope you will find:

1 white tri-fold card

2 pieces of printed paper

1 tag

You will also notice this is not an ordinary tri-fold card, so this is where you get to be creative!!

You can add whatever you want, you can do whatever you want.  You must use the tag and both sheets of paper.  You do not need to use all of the paper.

You have the month of September to post your finished card in the gallery and in this thread.

EVERYONE who posts their finished card will receive a RAK from me.

Can't wait to see what you do!!!

Any questions, please ask!!!

scrapnkitty

roe did a great design
vellumx

Mel, that is so cute!!!..gotta head to the gallery to see the inside!!!

I should get to my card done!!!  I haven't done this design yet myself....I bought a pack of 10 at Stampfest with the idea of having this challenge.  I pretty sure I can find a cartridge that has something I can use as a pull-out when it's time to do the challenge again (but maybe with a twist..)

Robin and Sherry, you should be getting your card any day now!..

Thanks Erin and Mel for taking the challenge an doing a great job!!
nathan's momma

yeah, i feel the intimidation as well....but gives me soething to strive for.

WOWZA!!!
RobinB

Well, since I challenged you guys, the least I could do is challenge myself....I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but didn't count on the problems with my Cricut.  Well...here it is...


Sherry Scrapper

mykidsmom4ever

OMGosh, I'm in love with that little bug Roe...I want that cart just for that little bug!! Very cute card!!!!!!!
vellumx

You can find him on Walk in My Garden....and I didn't know this until after I used WMG, but there is a caterpillar on Stretch You Imagination!!!

Paula, you just got that cartridge, right??
nathan's momma

nope, i just got accent essentials. loving it so far!
vellumx

That is a great cartridge...!!
nathan's momma

to embellish, I used scraps and "Accent Essentials"





I had a lot of fun creating the flower. the petals are actually lifted, but, in an envelope, they would flatten out, of course! so, only the center is adhered with a brad.
vellumx

Paula, this is just awesome!!!..Don't you ever think you can't do a card!!!...You out did yourself and I know this was a challenge.

you made a gorgeous flower!! Don't you just love that cartridge?!!

thank you for taking the challenge and running with it!!!
nathan's momma

thank you for including me in the challenge. i'll tell you, i was beginning to get intimidated by the previous submissions, BUT i realized if i just take my time and THINK about what i can do, i could actually come up with something i really liked.

this only took me about 4 days or so to compete!
~ melodyz ~

paula ~ that is totally awesome chickie!
love how you did the front..that flower is so yummy!
and wuv how you did the pull out..rawki kewl! :thumbup:  :thumbup:

I am in the middle of mine, but I don't like it.  Nothing is stuck down yet, so I may change it still.....we'll see.  I love what everyone else has done so far!
nathan's momma

sometimes you gain inspiration from others. jsut walk away for a bit, look at some of the others, maybe look at other's cards in the card room and go from there. inspiration will come.....

anyhow, i'm sure what you have is great!
