JANUARY MONTHLY CHALLENGE: SCRAPLIFT A CIRCLE BLOG PROJECT!

It’s been three months since we first began the Cricut Circle Blog. We LOVE bringing you new projects and hope that you enjoy reading the blog each day. It is also our hope that we have inspired you to try something new in your crafting. For this month’s challenge we would like to see you scraplift one of the projects you have seen us present here on the blog. It can be anything! And feel free to add your own creative twist to the project. Project must be newly created for this challenge and should include the following elements to qualify.

• Use 2 or more Cricut Cuts on the project.
• Use a project you have seen on the Cricut Circle Blog as inspiration for your project.
• Use products from atleast two of our Sponsors (click on the “Sponsors” along the top of the page to see a list of manufacturers).

This challenge is open to Cricut Circle Members only. Your entry must meet the requirements above in order for your name to be entered into a random drawing for the PRIZE. You must submit a project to be entered into the drawing. Submit your entry using the InLinkz tool found at the bottom of this post and include your first and last name in the title. If linking to your blog, please tell us who/what project you scraplifted. Entries are due by 11:59 pm MST on Sunday, January 30th, 2011. Winner will be announced on February 1st, 2011. Prize will be delivered to winner within 4 to 6 weeks of announcment.

Note: We want to be sure that everyone knows that you DO NOT need to have a blog to participate in the challenges here on the Cricut Circle blog. When the InLinkz tool at the bottom of the Challenge Post asks you for the URL of your blog, you can also type in the URL of a gallery you have uploaded your project to, a direct URL to the image (Photobucket, TinyPic, etc.) or even a message board entry where you have inserted your photo. If you receive an error while submitting your entry, look at the top of the screen and there will be three tabs to choose from. One of them will give you the option to upload your image directly from your computer. We are really enjoying your submissions! Keep them coming!

I choose a LO of Jan's from Dec. 15.  I used Bazzill Paper, I made the buttons on the ruler with my i-top, and I sprayed my embellishments with Glimmer Mist.
