Make It Monday #103 with Meljen's Designs

Hi

It's late here and I am scheduling my post for the new Make It Monday linky party starting today.

It was another awesome week over at MIM last week but I didn't get to visit many of you and I'm sorry for that. I will try to get around to as many of you as I can this week but it is pretty crazy here at the moment.

I didn't get a chance to do any craft this past week at all.

So I have decided to share a little note card I made a few weeks ago for a friend.

Papers and image are from Stampin' Up!

This week's
MAKE IT MONDAY #103
is now open

This week we are being sponsored once again by the ever fun and cute Meljen Designs Digital Stamps!

http://shop.meljensdesigns.com/

Meljen Designs Digital Stamps  are giving away the lovely prize of the winner's choice of 4 single digis!

To be in the running to win this fabulous prize all you need to do is leave a comment for an entry in this week's Make It Monday linky party. Be sure to mention you saw them on MIM. The more entries you comment on the more chances you have of winning.

As I didn't get a chance to visit any entries last week I haven't chosen a favourite yet. But I will endeavour to go back and check out last week's entries and I will do a separate post to feature my favourite pick.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope we get to see what you have been creating this week over at 

MAKE IT MONDAY.

Make It Monday #102 with Digi Doodle Shop

Hi, how's things?

Nice to have you call in.

It's been a big weekend here, the weather is perfect for getting outside with my boys and we were having fun playing cricket in the yard on Saturday afternoon.

Who ever said that getting outside and getting active is good for you obviously wasn't talking about someone as clumsy and unco-ordinated as me as I managed to break my big toe while trying to bowl. lol. :o)

But hey at least it's just a toe, I mean you don't need your toes to make cards right, lol!

So I was all good to get my card finished for this week's Make It Monday 

I used a sweet image from our sponsor called Drink Of Water

(click on image for a larger/clearer view)

Image is coloured with Copic markers and papers are from Designer Series set called Titterpated from Stampin' Up!

This week over at Make It Monday we are excited to be sponsored by

DigiDoodle Shop

DigiDoodle Shop is the results of a mother and daughter’s love for the arts and crafts.  It was started a little over 3 years ago with a little more than 100 stamps, and has since then grown to almost 500 stamps.  Joy (the mother of this team) designs realistic images, while Judy (aka/daughter) loves the “fun side of life”, and create images with a cartoon flair.  Having these two complimenting styles have enabled

DigiDoodle Shop to offer a wide variety of stamps. 

The DigiDoodle Shop is giving away a $10.00 Store Gift Certificate to the lucky random winner!

To be in with a chance to win this fabulous prize from our sponsor all you need to do is comment on an entry in this week's Make It Monday linky party. Be sure to mention you saw them on MIM. The more entries you comment on the more chances you have of winning.

There were so many amazing entries last week it was so hard to choose just one to feature as my favourite but in the end it was this beauty from

Debbie at Coastal Creations



Love this easel card, the whole layout is just fantastic.

Thank you for sharing with us Debbie.

Make It Monday #101 with Bugaboo Stamps

Hi, nice to see you here.

Another week done and dusted and new one starts today.

It was a big week over at Make It Monday last week 300 entries!!

Thank you to everyone who entered.

I enjoyed browsing through so many of the entries and even found some links to some excellent freebie images and a couple of great tutorials.

I look forward to this week's link up and the inspiration it is sure to bring.

My make for this week's Make It Monday is a quick set of note cards using a great little image from our sponsor called Flower Tag 5

I created a little folder to hold the notecards and envelopes

A nice easy make and a great little gift to give as a thank you.

We are very excited to have again our fun sponsors Bugaboo Stamps!  Everyone loves these fun and sweet digis!

Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing!  From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! 

 If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps   atTotally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT   for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug. 

Bugaboo Stamps are offering a very generous prize of winner's choice of 7 single digis!

To be in with a chance to win this fabulous prize from our sponsor all you need to do is comment on an entry. Be sure to mention you saw them on MIM. The more entries you comment on the more chances you have of winning.

As always we get to pick a favourite from the entries linked up each week and each week I say how hard it was to choose. Well this week it was REALLY hard. 

I ummed and ahhed for ages but in the end this one  from Billie A won me over.

This image is just soooo cute!!

Thank you for sharing with us Billie.

Ok now you've seen my make for this week and I hope you are inspired to join us over at Make It Monday.

I look forward to coming to visit you.
