Good morning & Welcome to another Throwback Thursday challenge!! 1st of all I want to give a shout out to my Bestie ~Nikki because she helped me w/this idea for a challenge! Frankly, I thought it was a PERFECT idea!;) Why not create a card using NO machines~ lets make our cards "Old School" style! hehehe! Remember when there was no fancy die cutting machines or anything like it back in the days!! All I remember is cardstock, pattern paper, scissors, glue & stamps! YEP, this sure was a challenge for me because you have NO idea how many times I picked up my Gypsy Girl:( So I had to remind myself that there were no Gypsy either back in the days!
To qualify for the giveway, you must:
****Link your project up to "Mr. Linky" below
****Challenge is based on "ORIGINALITY"
****Must create a "CARD" BY HAND using pattern paper w/your cardstock
****Must be an ORIGINAL project made especially for THIS challenge
****ONE entry Per Person Please.
****Deadline for project will be SATURDAY, SEPT 25TH @ 6:00pm CST
****Last but Not Least~ HAVE FUN!!
As you can see, I added my white & black faux stitching & inked up the edges of my card!

Ill def be going old school on this project. Everybody remebr those beautiful $4 stickers before the cricut, well i have several hundreds of those so I'll be using those.
Card Making without the Cricut was truly a challenge. I am so use to cutting an image for the focal point. Good challenge
ReplyDeleteLove the challenge, love your card!
ReplyDeleteAND THIS IS WHY YOU ARE THE BOMB...OSEA LA BOMBA!!!!! LOL..Great Card Gypsy Queen!

so cute! Emma I think you could be given anything and come up with a fantastic card or scrapbook. TFS!
ReplyDeleteYour card is FLIPPIN ADORABLE!!! This really was a great idea! hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteWow, that is so cute & adorable! I love fun halloween stuff like that! U got me thinking about all the great stuff I can also do without my gypsy too! Thanks :)
ReplyDeleteFAB even without your Cricut & Gypsy Girl!!! So creative!
ReplyDeleteYour cards seem to always come together so easily and are amazing everytime.
ReplyDeletehow funny (as in ironic) is this! on my way to the hospital to sit with family (not the funny part) just got my gypsy today, and before I leave I wanted to see what your challenge was so I could work on it while I sit and learn my new toy...and I can't use it! only in my world does this happen. ;)
ReplyDeleteliz
WOW! Emma this card is great!!Your awesome with or with out your gypsy!!
ReplyDeleteI decide to try to make something, I keep hoping some of your talent will rub off on me. It just isn't happening.. but you are inspiring me to at least try. Thanks Emma
ReplyDeletewhat a fun challenge this week - this is how i began making - just the basics and free hand stuff! thanks for the fun Emma!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute!!! And it's sooo funny when you say "I know it's missing something but I am not sure what" lol...we all know stitching is a must...LMBO
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this challenge, Emma! It was lots of fun! I love how your card turned out!

Loved doing this challenge. Thanks Emma for another great one!
ReplyDeleteSince my cartridge library is still very small, I guess you could say I am still old school. Love your card, it's nice to see that you are great with and without the cricut. Thanks for sharing.

What a great challenge Emma! I love it. I really need to not rely so heavily on my Cricut. Old stuff works almost as well, right!? I love your card. You are such a clever woman. Thanks for everything!

ReplyDeleteAmanda
That was a lot of fun to do. Barely made it, but loved it! Thanks Emma!
ReplyDeleteThis was DEFINITELY a challenge for me! I love how your card turned out. When I first say the picture, I thought you stamped the cute little witch's feet. TFS!
ReplyDeleteIt was weird not going to my cricut stuff first for a card! I have only had mine for 9 months, and always go to it first for card ideas!
ReplyDeleteLOVED this "Cricut-less" challenge, had a blast! Can't wait till next week! :o)
ReplyDeleteMeesh
This was fun! It was a bit of a challenge not to grab a cart and load up the cricut. Thanks for the challenge. Debbie H.
ReplyDeletethis challenge was fun not using my cricut for a change.. loved it..
ReplyDeleteI was late--but I still wanted to link to your great challenge! :)
