Welcome to my VERY 1st Throwback Thursday!! I am SOOO EXITED about this!

I also decided to make them challenges so this gives you an opportunity to show off "YOUR CREATIVITY"! It's okay to think "outside of the box" & come up with an AWESOME idea all on your own! The 1st cartridge I am featuring will be "Animal Kingdom"! If you Don't own Animal Kingdom, it's Okay to use any cartridge you have, just make sure it's an "Animal Theme"!
To qualify for the giveway, you must:
****Link your project up to "Mr. Linky" below
****Challenge is based on "ORIGINALITY"
****Your card or project of your choice MUST be an animal theme
****Must be an ORIGINAL project made especially for THIS challenge

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little pig card! I've been wanting to buy the animal kingdom stamps from Peachy Keen for a while. I'm so excited for your challenges.

Emma,
ReplyDeleteThrow Back is such a great idea, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you will do! There are so many great cartridges and it is wonderful to have you spot light some that are being over-looked!

Great contest! I didn't have Animal Kingdom, so I used Create a Critter instead. The link is to my gallery on Scrapbook.com since I don't have a blog. Thanks for the chance to win!

ok, took me a while but I need those stamps! Hope you like my funky card!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Emma!!! I love this idea of "Throwback Thursday"! It's easy to get wrapped up in getting every new cartridge that comes out, but the old ones still have a lot of great designs. Can't wait to check back next Thursday! Hugs, Angelica
ReplyDeleteI don't have Animal Kingdom, but one of my favorite animal cartridges is Paper Pups so I linked my card that I created today! Thanks for opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteThis was so very cute . You do such a great job.
ReplyDeletekeithdeb@bellsouth.net

ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to make a scrapbook page on my dogs. This challenge gave me the chance to do this. I was really surprised with what I came up with. I also realized I did not have hard copies of one of my dogs. I can't wait to do another. I really enjoyed this challenge.
How fun, I love a challenge! I created a card for this challenge with my BRAND NEW Gypsy! I LOVE IT! And also used my first set of Peachy Keen Stamps - the Critter Faces, love them too! :) Thanks for the chance!

This is my first time to participate in a challenge and this is my first "shape" card. I was so excited to make it, although as I look at it - I wish it had a bit more detail. Practice, practice, practice!!! I wanted to make a goat card for a family member, but I didn't have a goat on any of my carts........so I went with a sheep! Still cute!
ReplyDeleteI used the "paper doll dress up" cart for the sheep, the "ashlyn's alphabet" cart for the "ewe" and the "wild card" cart "made my day".

ReplyDeleteOk - so I didn't have the cart that you used, so I used create a critter for this Hippo Grad Card. I used the shadow feature first and welded the grad hat from Locker Talk onto my Hippo and then complete the remaining layers for the Hippo. The Hippo is a running joke for a friend of my daughter who is graduating.

I love the theme for these challenges Emma :) What a great idea :) Thanks for all you do !!! and thanks to PK stamps too !
ReplyDeleteEmma thank you so much for doing this challenge. I had so much fun doing this card it came out bigger then I wanted it to but then I liked it even more,I love the idea with using the older carts. it gives us so many more ideas to use thanks for all you do :)
ReplyDeleteI love your little piglet, super cute card! This was a fun project for me.
ReplyDeleteHI Emma! I have re-posted my card--hope you can see it now?
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry-I wasn't very specific-I had re-posted it on my blog--but you already found that out-so I have posted just the pic on my blog to see if you can see it now? If not-then I did post it on your facebook-so hopefully you can see it there. I didn't try to re-upload it to your blog though.
ReplyDeleteMy first attempt with the Gypsy. I'm afraid that it's not very elegant like some of the others but I'll just chalk this one up to being a beginner. I'm excited to be a part of this group of crafters who share so we newbies can learn.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. I love you all,
