My Very First Challenge!

Hi Everyone,
I hope you have room for another challenge blog on your list and that you can spend a little time and join in the fun with me.
The rules to my challenges are simple and are in the right side bar >>>>>>>
For now it'll only be me with the examples but if we get popular I may well invite a few guests to join us!
We have no sponsors as obviously we're small and new but I still hope you'll join in just for the sheer fun of it.
I've got a logo for the blog that you can grab from the sidebar and add with a link if you'd like and also I have a "Top Chef" logo as I'll be picking my top 3 from each challenge too.
Now on to the business in hand.
My challenge to you for #1 is:
Use 1 image
Add 2 different shapes to you project in any form you like
And use 3 Paper Embellishments, these can be store bought, handmade, punched, die cut, anything you like just make sure they are made of paper.
For example in my card I have the paper flowers, the paper tag with the sentiment and the paper punched added borders, see easy!
The deadline for entries is Sept 30th at Midnight CST


My card also include challenges from other sites and I encourage you to add others to your creations too (although it's not required).
To see which other challenges I used on this card you can drop over to my main blog at Both Sides of the Paper



The image is from Mo's Digital Pencil and it's a trio set of 3 teen images.
Mo Manning was orignally a children book artist but has branched out into digital images and I'm so thankful she did! Her work is fabulous, different from other out there and so wonderful to color.





Anyway, I'd love it if you could join in with my challenge and if you could spread the word to others that would be great too! The more the merrier and I can't wait to see what you come up.
Add your link in the comments and I'll come and visit each and every one of you.
Thanks for playing!
Katie
