Make My Monday Challenge - Going Round in Circles

Hello and Happy Monday!  I hope your weekend was spectacular.  Today begins a new challenge at the Make My Monday Challenge Blog with the theme being Going Round in Circles.

I created a round card and embellished with circles in order to match the theme.  I used a few dies in my stash to create this pretty Spring card. I used the largest circle die I had to create a 5" circle for the base of the card.  I was lucky to find another circle die for the printed mat that left a nice border.
The sentiment is a sticker from a pack I found at the Dollar Tree; that was a special surprise!

Please join us this week at Make My Monday and let your imagine run with what you can create using circles.  We would enjoy seeing your creations.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Make My Monday Challenge - Something New

Hello and Happy Monday!  Today begins a new challenge at Make My Monday Challenge Blog and the theme for this round is "Something New"....new baby, new job, new home, new stash, etc.

I recently purchased a 6x6 paper pad from Recollections named Patisserie.  This paper pad has some of the loveliest  papers and it's what I have that's new so my design team creation meets the theme of this challenge.

I used 2 different papers from the pad, some dragonfly dies I have in my stash.  I added a ribbon, some sequins and a flower dimensional sticker,  inked all the edges and called this standard A2 sized card complete.

I hope you'll join us this round at Make My Monday Challenges, we'd love to have you.  And I'd like to remind you of the new challenge for March starting this Wednesday at The Paper Funday Challenges.  The theme for the month of March is Anything But a Card with a Twist:  Use the color Green.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Make My Monday - Make It Krafty

It's Monday again and it's time for a new challenge at Make My Monday challenge blog.  The theme this week is Make It Krafty (using kraft colored card).

For my design team project, I used a versatile stamp set I recently received from Maymay Made It named Sittin Tree.  I kept it pretty CAS, using kraft card and just 3 colors:  brown, green and black.

I love the tire swing..makes me wish I had one now!

Make My Monday Challenge - Red, Pink and White

It's Monday and a new challenge starts today at Make My Monday.  The theme for the challenge this week is Red, Pink and White.  Since we are close to Valentine's Day, my design team project is a Valentine's Day card that incorporates all the colors in the theme.

The card measures a standard A2 with gorgeous papers from Recollections.  I die cut the heart and backed with red paper, then layered on top of a pink paper doily I had in my stash.  Finally, a few pink sequins were added for some bling.  

We hope you will join us this week at Make My Monday Challenges; we are looking forward to seeing what you create with the theme colors.

Also, don't forget to visit the new challenge blog The Paper Funday Challenges this Wednesday for the announcement of the winners from the January challenge and for the start of Februarys' challenge.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Make My Monday Challenge - Winter Birthday Greetings

Hello and welcome to a new challenge at Make My Monday Challenges.  The theme this challenge is Winter Birthday Greetings.

I had to think about this one for a minute...I didn't want to create a card that resembled a holiday card but still needed to stay within the Winter theme.  I remembered I had a polar bear cut file in Cricut Design Space so I went to work cutting, paper piecing and the end result was this A2 sized Winter Birthday Card.

The designer papers are from a paper pad by Recollections titled Northern Lights.  I purchased this 12 x 12 paper pad at the beginning of the holiday season last year and only created 1 holiday card from it.  I will definitely be using it next holiday season for sure!

Please visit us at Make My Monday Challenges, we would love to have you enter your Winter Birthday creations and also, please stop by the new monthly challenge blog The Paper Funday Challenges - a challenge for all things paper.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Make My Monday Challenge - Use Words or a Sentiment

Hello and Happy Monday!  It's time for a new challenge at Make My Monday Challenges and the theme this challenge is to use Words or a Sentiment.

For my design team project, I chose to use a sentiment and created a New Year's Card which measures 4.5" x 6", bigger than an A2 but smaller that an A6.  I went with these dimensions due to the size of the die cuts; they were exactly 4.5" x 6".

I was uncertain of the color combo but after completing it, I like it.  The black really makes it Pop.

Please join us at Make My Monday Challenges this round, we'd love to have you!

I would like to mention the new challenge blog The Paper Funday Challenges.  It's a monthly challenge blog and the 1st challenge is Anything Goes Made with Paper.  Please stop in and enter your paper creations.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
