MIM #85 with Meljen's Designs

Hi

Welcome to my new followers!

Here it is, Monday again and the first day back at school for my boys. 

We had such a fun two weeks break.Went to the beach, swam in the pool and just kicked back. I have to be honest and say it wasn't just the boys who struggled to get back in the "going to school" routine this morning, lol.

I am excited though that a new Make It Monday linky party starts today.

Last week's link up was HUGE!

It is wonderful to be in the company of so many talented people, and you are such  friendly bunch too,:o). 

I gain so much inspiration from you all.

I love being able to feature the variety of cardmaking and scrapbooking styles that I see each week on the Pink Paper Paradise facebook page and I love those off the page projects too.

For this week's linky party I created a card using an image from our sponsor 

Meljen's Designs

Image is called Victorian Bird Cage

I have coloured it with Copics and inked around the edges with Stampin' Up! Baja Breeze and Old Olive.

Sentiment is computer generated.

Papers are from My Minds Eye.

Cardstock is Chocolate Chip and Blushing Bride both from Stampin' Up!

Ok, now you've seen what I've been working on this week. Let's see what you've been up to!! 

Come on over to Make It Monday and share you latest creation. Or if you haven't found time to get crafty this week but you'd still like to play along how about reviving an old post. No need to create a whole new post just link back to the old one and blow the dust off that creation you were so proud of back then.  Lots of new faces joining us each week that will be seeing it for the first time.

Make It Monday #85 is now open.

Another request

Hi

Here we are end of the first week of February already!! Never mind Valentines, the shops are full of Easter already!! What is with that? Mind you, I don't mind too much as I'm a bit partial to the odd hot cross bun and secretly wish they would sell them all year long.

I have been busy this week, with a request for some cards from a lady I work with. She was after some cards without any sentiment so that they could be used for any occassion.

It's funny really, maybe it's just me, but I always struggle with where to put the sentiment on a card, I find it tricky to place it just right. So I thought that making cards without a sentiment would be a breeze! Well, I think it is even harder! 

That said, I am pretty happy with this card.

Image is "Friends 24-7" from Stampin' Up! inked using Stampin' Up Chocolate Chip.

Cardstock is also Chocolate Chip.

I embossed the whole image panel with the "Square Lattice" embossing folder also from SU.

Papers are from My Minds Eye

Flowers were created using the same papers and Spellbinders "Rose Creations" die.

I gave the whole card a spritz of glimmer mist.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

I hope you are all having a great week!

Thanks for stopping by today.
