Good Morning My Creative Friends!! Welcome to another "Imagine Nation Monday" Challenge & a Guest Designer!  I am SOOO EXCITED this week because I have an AWESOME guest designer! She is none other than the VERY TALENTED, Tracy (CJtoo!) This lady is so full of life & not to mention very creative! For our challenge this week, I decided to have it be to incorporate "POLKA DOTS" in a project of your choice using your Imagine!! Tracy did just that! Check out her "OH SO CUTE" purse she designed using her Imagine! Now, Sarah (Pink Cricut) & I were discussing our challenge & we both decided to include ALL of You in our Imagine Nation Monday's! If you own an Imagine, PLEASE use it for the challenges we host, IF YOU DO NOT own one, feel free to play along making an "Imagine Like" project using pattern paper AND Polka Dots in your creation! Try to make something to look like you actually HAVE an Imagine!

"MY GUEST DESIGNER"

HI everyone ~ I'm Tracy (CJToo) and I am super excited that Emma asked me to be a guest designer on Imagine-Nation Monday today. I live in Texas with my hubby and 2 boys, I work full-time so I have to be creative in the evenings and on week-ends. I love sharing my creativity and passion for Cricut crafting on my blog http://www.craftjunkietoo.com/. I've been blogging for almost 1 1/2 years and really enjoy sharing and getting inspiration.

Thanks for asking me to be your very first guest designer Emma - I had a total blast! :)

For my project today I created this Polka Dotted Party Purse using my Best Friends Imagine cartridge and my Cricut Imagine machine.
