Happy Saturday! I have a fun challenge for you to help Just Johanna Stamps celebrate Earth Day.
My challenge is the Lunch Sack Card Challenge and here is what you'll need to create:
1. Create a card using a brown paper bag as part of your card, (base, flowers, paper, etc.)
2. Card must have buttons.
3. Card must have a bit of stamping (please note, that you do not have to use Just Johanna stamps.)
That's it! Link me to your card--you can load it into the Just Johanna gallery if you'd like and your name will go in for a random drawing of oodles of Just Johanna goodies. You have until midnight on April 20th to enter this challenge and as many of the others as you'd like. Let me know if you have any questions and I can't wait to see what you'll come up with.
The card above uses a lunch sack, acrylic paint, vintage trim, Just Johanna stamps, K&Co. adhesive pearls, Basic Grey paper, flowers and hemp from the craft store, and Scenic Route paper.
**My own little give-a-way is this little friendship gift set from my previous post. All you have to do is complete the challenge above, but I'm giving you until Wednesday night to link me to your card---then I'll choose a random winner and send you off my goodie.
Have a wonderful day!
Melissa
OMGoodness Melissa. This is just totally stunning, who ever would have though a lunch bag could be so yummy!

thanks so much for hosting a challenge for us and for your lovely card. it's good to see you still using the strawberries - they're very you. i only had a black lunch sack, but that went well with the april lime tart kit that i've been working my way through. here's what i came up with.

Wow! This is so amazingly gorgeous, Melissa! Absolutely beautiful. Are the flower centers part of the actual flower, or something you added?
