And now, my challenge....
Create a card using a journal box and bling of any kind....
glittery brads, rhinestones, pearls, stickles, glitter....
all apply!
If you are curious as to what I mean by "journal box"
it's what you write your journaling on a scrapbook page
normally....Echo Park collections have AWESOME
options--but you can use any (Fancy Pants, MM, etc).
Here is a pic of the journal boxes included in the EP
So Happy Together kit as an example:
Do remember, that at least 50% of the product used
must be from Crop Chocolate!
Here is my example:
are fussy cut and all have bling centers (from the MM Paper Reverie
collection you can WIN) and some Recollections bling swirls. The
inking and stamping was done with Black Soot Distress Ink. The
journal box....is the rectangle in the center of the card framed in
black....makes a beautiful simple card, huh??
So now it's YOUR turn......
when you complete this challenge, please link into the Mr. Linky
below (by Thursday July 5th 9am MST). I will have an awesome prize
by random draw for one of the participants in my challenge.
I will ALSO have a prize for someone that leaves a comment on my
blog on this post during the hop (please make sure you are a follower!).
So next up....hop on over to Darlene's Blog (aka mom2tayandbay)!
Play along! Link closes Thursday July 5th at 9am MST!

ReplyDeleteI still have hopes of getting your challenge completed. I have to say it is the one that has me thinking the most. I don't usually use those journaling blocks.
ReplyDeleteAnother new follower here. I don't usually do cards but I hope to give it a shot (if I don't fall asleep too soon). Thanks for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteWow Laura - ALL of your projects are awesome. That is so great that you finished 12 projects for the hop too - they are all beautiful!! I am following your blog now! and I put my project in Mr. Linky but you can find it here too
ReplyDeletehttp://craftylove4mytwins.wordpress.com/ my journal box is on the 4th project down (although I used them on a couple of my projects, that would qualify). Thanks for the chance at the blog candy (whooo hooo Tim Holtz and I love those mm brads too!) :)
I forgot to add to my description that my bling is on the flOwers and they are little sequins from the mm gem box
DeleteI love your card! What a gorgeous example of how to use a journal box. Hope to get one done for your challenge, like all CCers, I have tons of journal boxes !

Very cool challenge!! Something I don't usually think of doing, but will be a great thing to remember to use some of those left over journal boxes. I am now a follower. My entry for your challenge is the third project in the post I linked. Thanks
ReplyDeleteFinally had a moment to craft! YAY! I just sent you my card for the journal block challenge! Thanks!
