ready to win a prize? let's start the...

justjohanna Earth Day challenge!

Here is your mission, should you choose to accept it (this will not self destruct in 10 seconds so don't worry)...create something (a card, journal page, whatever) using any of my Earth Day challenges below.

To win all you need to do is post a comment with a link back to your blog or gallery. If you don't have a gallery, please feel free to post on the justjohanna forum and post under the Earth Day thread.

You have 24 hours to enter the challenge and then I'll draw winners:

One participant will win a Limited Edition Earth Day stamp from justjohanna (designed by one of my favorite stampers - Rina!)

 

AND two participants will win a justjohanna stamp from my collection and some ribbon from my my etsy shop.

   

AND all of you will be entered into a drawing for one of the following prizes: $250 justjohanna shopping spree, a $50 shopping spree, or a 25% discount coupon. Wow ~ free stuff is cool.

Now onto the 1st challenge...

Honor Nature by using it in your Art ~ I created a simple card using a twig to make flowers.

       

Re-purpose items like one of those fake credit card offers you get in the mail everyday ~ it makes a great paint tool! Golden gel medium is the perfect adhesive for bulky items, just gloop some on and it dries clear!

And for my 2nd challenge...

Reduce Waste & Re-Purpose Items for Art ~ Looks like trash huh? It's one of those plastic net bags fruit comes in.

With it I made this & this:

       

I cut the netting, added some shimmery paint and used gel medium as the adhesive. So easy!

   

Paint & stamp the back of the tag and it makes a great ribbon embellishment.

And of course everyone loves bottle cap magnets:

Now go make something and don't forget to leave me a link! ;)

Super cute stuff! After I redo my entire acrylic stamp storage. Darn good idea I will share later. I may need to try one of these cute projects!

Well Guess what. I made a card yesterday with just these things.
The first part, I used my dried flowers/leaves to decorate the card.
The second part, I used a piece of acetate that comes with clear stamps to dab my pearls onto my CS.
The third part you do not see in the picture is the gap between the two layers on my card. I saved it to make a frame for my future projects. You can check it out here.

I decided to do something to celebrate EArthDay. My granddaughter is always losing her earrings so I made my first altered Altoid tin for her to use for jewelry. Here is my link:

Now I want to make more but I have find someone that eats Altoids a lot! LOL!

I think one of the cards I made for Catherine's challenge will work on your first challenge..
Here is a link to it on my blog:

http://andisperfectgravy.blogspot.com/2008/04/jj-earth-day-challenges-catherines.html

I used a feather on the card.

Now I am off to go rescue some 'trash' for your second one!
Thanks!!

[Andi Sexton (rrlscrapgal)]

OK! I recycled part of a Tazo Green Tea box. I cut out the part that has a cute peek-a-boo window and used it to frame Al!

Here is my card:

Thank you!!!

I'm such a mess! I thought the challenges were over last night at midnight!!
So I have another entry for your second challenge! This is recycled plastic from a package of brads.

I used my red mesh bag for the background. I'll be able to reuse it several more times!

[Kathi R]

Your samples rock and your challenge was great. I'm sad that I had to go to family/religious functions (Passover Seders) and missed so much of the fun!

[How to Relieve Stress]

You guys are so creative. I loved looking through your creations and will have to give some thought to what I could do. Will post again if I come up with something worthwhile. Bottlecap magnets? Never would have thought of that one. Great.
