It's the First!! New Month, New Year, TWO New Prizes, New Altered CHALLENGE!

Good morning and a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone out there today!
Pinky here to host the 1st CHALLENGE of the Year 2011.

Can you believe it is 2011 already?
Here is your FIRST chance to win *See Second Chance Below*

Here at Imaginisce we have a new team and so many amazing things
happening we thought it would be fun to change up the usual Sketch Challenge
This time around we are going to have a
"Found" Altered Challenge!!!!!!! Fun right?
Just think, "out with the old, in with the new" for this challenge!

Here are the Challenge Details:
"Find" an old item, or something that can be re-purposed and re-used
Using at a minimum of 75% Imaginisce product, alter your found item
then post it right here (scroll to the bottom) before January 25th.
At the end of January a WINNER will be chosen.
You could win a $75.00 package
full of Imaginisce goodness!

Have fun and get creative with it.
I have had this Christmas clock for many years now, I believe 6 years
but this year I made myself a new "scrappy clock" so I decided
to alter this Christmas clock for my scrappy room.
the wonderful and amazing i-bond,
my incredibly useful i-top,
my Cricut Imagine, and what would it be without
vintage lace and some pearls?!

Now you could just use the itop and make your numbers,
but I wanted to add something so I used my Cricut Imagine to cut
butterflies from the Enchanted line and the ibond to adhere them.

On this project my Imaginisce ibond was my best friend!

Now what can you "Find" to alter?

Want a second chance to win big?
JOIN OUR BLOG HOP!!!!
The new 2011 Design Team has come up with special projects for this challenge
and we want you to see all their hard work and be inspired to create!
