The Hotspot Challenge

 

We have exciting news to share with you!  Studio 313 and McMahon Five Designs have joined forces and have a monthly challenge called  "The Hotspot Challenge".  The First of every month will be a new Hot Challenge based on the Latest Hottest Trends!

For February our theme is Natural Elements.  For my card I used some of McMahon Five Designs Real Wood Paper and Shawne’s Studio 313 Bird on a Frail Branch image.  It’s such a beautiful sentiment.  Also, I went outside and cut a branch off of my sage plant for the birdie to sit on.

Go ahead and find natural elements to add to your card this month!  Pull out some of the items you haven't used in a while or haven't even tried yet!  We all have hemp cord, raffia, wooden buttons, cotton ribbon and how about really changing it up and using Real Wood Paper?  There are hundreds of ideas for it's use in the Idea Gallery!  Below is an Inspirational Photo to get your creative minds going!

 

Now, it wouldn't be a challenge if there wasn't a prize, right?  RIGHT!  Using our Natural Elements Theme we created a Prize Package filled with Natural Elements!

1 sheet of Birds Eye Maple Real Wood Paper
