TSG128 Au Naturale.

This week our challenge is brought to us by our Trendsetter of the week- Jenny! She has challenged us to make a card going Au Naturale!!! In other words, we want to see you use Jute, hemp, burlap, twine etc on your card.

To be eligible for the giveaway, you are to create a card using natural items, and then come back to the TSG Blog to add your name and a link to your project in the InLinkz that is located at the bottom of this challenge post. This challenge is open until the winner has been announced on the following Monday (November 7th). The winner will get a $5 gift certificate to use in the TSG Web store!

By participating in this challenge, you may also find yourself in the Trendsetting Spotlight that shines on the TSG Blog every Thursday. We will be on the look out to find challenge cards that stand out and show Trendsetting qualities. TSG stamps are not required to participate in the challenges but are appreciated :)

You do not need to have a blog to be able to participate in the TSG Challenges! You can simply add the URL link from your project after it has been uploaded to your online craft gallery. If you upload your card to an online craft gallery, please use the keyword TSG128 so
we can check out your beautiful work!

Need some inspiration to help you get started? Check out these great cards made by the following Trendsetters!
