The Big News!!!

Good morning everybody! I wanted to post this bright and early, because I just can't wait any longer! :) Well, I would like to introduce you to a new challenge! It is called........ The very talented Courtney, has asked a couple of us ladies to join her in this fun challenge, and now we are asking all of you to join us too! :) The rules to the challenge are, once a month one of the challenge hosts, will come up with an object from around the house, to use in a project. It can be a card, layout, or any kind of crafty project! This month, Courtney wants us to use something from the mail! You have from today until October 9th, to come up with a project! You will need to go over to Courtney's blog and submit your project in Mr. Linky! We will pick a winner and they will receive a $25.00 gift certificate to.....

Whoot! Whoot! :) I hope you all will join us for some fun! It really makes you get creative! I can't tell you, how much fun I had with the challenge!
I don't know about you, but I am still old schooling it! I still pay alot of our bills with a check book! :) So it was perfect timing, because it was time to pay bills, and that means, we get too much mail! For my card, I used the cellophane from the front of an envelope for the pocket, and the inside of our light bill, has these cute polka dots, and a credit card (not a real one, but one trying to sell me car insurance) for the little book mark! So here is a picture of the supplies I used.
Here my card!
The little book mark, comes out of the pocket.
Then the little fabric flower (I'm lovin' these things! :) ) with the "Go Green" pin can be taken off the bookmark and wore for St. Paddy's day or Earth Day! I am also going to submit this card to the CARDS challenge , we are to make a flower on our card!
So don't forget to go by Courtney's and submit your project in Mr. Linky! And go check out the other ladies too!

You are so clever, Winter!! I love your creations because they are unique :) I think I'll be giving this challenge a try (fingers crossed because I'm not too good at creating cards using house items) blessings
