It's Elemental!

Hey hodge podgers! Traci here with the second challenge, working from my favorite space on the couch as my partner Gina trains for the New York marathon...lol!

I was so stoked seeing all the fantastic layouts from you amazing ladies last week and can't wait to see what you come up with for week 2! At the end of the week, I'll draw a name for a $5 gift card to my store at Funky Playground Designs.

First things first, let's congratulate the winner of our very first Hodge Podge challenge... JESS! Everyone's pages were amazing and this was a very HARD decision. Congrats Jess!

And now it's time to welcome the three guests I've wrangled into making it elemental this week!

Kristine Crosby
Molly Schneider
Vicky Phillips

Now for the inspiration! This week it's all about the elements. Just elements. Okay, I'll let you use a picture and ONE piece of paper. But just one. You can do it - stretch yourself. Open up the big organized folders of elements you have (you're laughing with me right?) and fill this layout with elements. Oh, and one more "rule" - you have to use 3 elements you've yet to use but already have in your stash!

So let's do a quick review:
~ Just 1 paper
~ No text
~ Elements - must use 3 you've got in your stash but have yet to use

I cannot wait to see all your amazing layouts!

Ok everyone- I thought the LO was only supposed to have 3 elements IN ALL. So if my sample looks a little weak compared to the others, well that's why.

Doh!

Thanks for letting me create for you Traci!
