Love To Scrap! Challenge Blog #21 - Anything Goes

Happy New Year!!  So glad in starting a new year.  At Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog we are having our first challenge for the new year....it's a favorite....Anything Goes.  Remember, you still have to have a stamped and/or digital image or sentiment on your project.  This year we will pretty much have TWO sponsors per challenge.  That means two winners per challenge.  How awesome is that!!!

We are being sponsored by Technique Junkies and The Paper Nest Dolls for this challenge.  

Technique Junkies winner will receive a Specialty CD.

The Paper Nest Dolls winner will receive a $25 gift certificate for their online store (good for digital and rubber stamps).  

I decided to decorate this burlap envelope I found at Hobby Lobby for this Anything Goes challenge.  Using the digi Winter Mail Ellie image from The Paper Nest Dolls collection, I thought it would be perfect for this envelope.  Die-cuts, lace, Stickles, paint, and couple hours later, this envelope turned out pretty cute (at least I think so).

Using MFT First Class Friend stamp and die-cut set to finish the envelope look of my project, by creating a stamp and postmark (they no longer sell the set together, looks like just the die-cut is still available).

Since Ellie had a heart on her envelope she was mailing, I decided to put a heart on mine too.

Here it is stuffed with some goodness.

Please join us at Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog with your cute creation.
