Make It Monday #121 with Digi My World

Hi, nice to see you here.

And here we are right at the very end of 2012, didn't that go fast!

I wish you all a very happy new year and hope that 2013 brings you health and happiness.

I am hoping to have some exciting news to share for 2013 very soon!

We have had a lovely break over at Make It Monday these last couple of weeks and I see that so many of you were still very creative during the Christmas period.

Today being Monday means the start of a new linky party, the last one for 2012

I managed to find a little crafting time to whip up a card using a fabulous image from our sponsor called

It's your special Day

This week we are being sponsored by the fun and funky Digi My World!

They are offering the lucky random winner a $10 gift voucher to spend in store - how fab is that?!

Remember, to be in the running to win the prize from our sponsor this week just leave a comment for another entry. Be sure to mention you saw them on Make It Monday. The more entries you comment on the more chances you have of winning!

The talented ladies of the MIM team have created some awesome projects to kick start things this week.

Be sure to stop bye and say hello and check out who they chose as their favourite pick for the week.

With so many gorgeous entries over the last couple of weeks it was tough to pick just one as my favourite. In the end I just couldn't decide between these two.

Created by

Julie

absolute stunning!! Very clever design!

and

created by

Ann-Marie

It's not just the incredible coluring that draw me to this card but the fabulous layout and gorgeous flowers. The whole arrangement comes together beautifully.

Thank you for sharing with us ladies, I do hope you will join us again this week.

Well, I'm off to go stand in the rain I think, it's the first rain we have had here at home in about six months!

I look forward to catching up with you all over at Make It Monday this week.

MIM #120 with Meljen Designs

Nice to have you here again.

I've been a bit slack with my posting of late. Not much time for crafting with the wind up of the school year etc.

I have been flat out this past week or so organising gifts for the teachers and aids that help my boys at school and the staff that I work with in the school office (40 in total).

I decided to make these adorable little Santa giftboxes and fill them with apricot balls and peppermint slice.

In the end I found myself a little short on time to make a card for this week's

Make It Monday linky party.

I decided in the end to use the gift tags I had made with a sweet image from our sponsor called

Carolling Snowmen

Very quick and easy project that comes up looking a treat with this adorable image.

Yikes!! My colouring looks horrendous when you zoom right in on this tiny little image, lol!

Make It Monday #120 is now open

I found it a real struggle to pick a favourite this week, there were at least six that I had my eye on but in the end I decided to highlight this entry from

Mandy

This is just gorgeous on so many levels! So many amazing little details and of course Mandy's awesome colouring.

Thanks so much for sharing with us Mandy.

I do hope you will all join us at Make It Monday this week.

Our linky party will continue for two weeks taking Christmas in to consideraiton.

Hope to see you there.

Make It Monday #118 with Cupcake Cards and Crafts

Well, here goes, let's see if this post will actually go live...

I have had a pretty awful week or so with Blogger. Not sure what the problem has been but posting and commenting is so painfully slow and ultimately ends in my computer freezing up.

So here I am a day late trying again to post my card for this week's

Make It Monday linky party.

This image is from The Greeting Farm.

Make It Monday #118

Is Now OPEN!!

Please link up your paper creations at the end of this post.

MIM's AWESOME SPONSORS this week are...

Prize is a paper pack of the winners choice.

ALSO...

We have a special holiday surprise Sponsor this week.

Lori Hairston and our MIM teamie, Lisa, are co-hosting the 2nd Annual

There are many many many participants joining in the fun!

So, for one week only, there will be prizes available EVERYWHERE, but in order to win the MIM prize from Lori who is graciously offering the prize of a $20 Visa Card, you have to leave comments on her blog and mention that you came over from Make It Monday! The more comments you leave each day, the more times you're entered to win the MIM prize. :)

So there is loads of fun this week over at Make It Monday and I do hope that you will join us.

As I could not get online last week I did not get to visit any of the entries so I don't have a favourite to share with you.

But if you take a wander over to my talented teamies you will be treated to their fabulous creations and you will also be able to see who they have chosen as their favourites.

Thanks for stopping by today.

I hope to be able to come and visit you too this week and check out what you have been creating.
