Make it Monday!

I am so excited about our new sponsor...Nicecrane Designs! 

This was the first time I had heard of them and I just love their whimsical designs!  They're just a little bit of magic!

Here is my creation using an image from Sugar and Spice...

I thought this image was so sweet!

And here are my POTWs:  from Jackie...

I love this simply elegant card...

And Tracy, whom I'm still stalking even though I didn't win her candy (hahahaha!):

This is so cute but what puts it over and top and makes it a truly Tracy card is the "pollen" in the middle!  How fabulous is that detail?!? 
Thank you so much for stopping by and don't forget that Make it Monday is always an OPEN paper challenge!!!!  I can't wait to see what you create!

Make it Monday

It's time for our weekly OPEN paper challenge at Make it Monday!  And this week I am OVER THE MOON to welcome back Saturated Canary as our sponsor!!!!  I love love love LOOOOVE these images! 

I fell madly in love with this little girl, Murray, and thought she'd be perfect for an Easter card!

And I'm so sorry but I don't have a POTW this week...not because there weren't a million gorgeous creations because there were...but because we had FOUR snow days and there was no time!  Lol!  Between sledding, shoveling, sledding, shoveling, reading 450 books, coloring in 50 different coloring books and playing 493 games of checkers, there was barely enough time to survive!  ;D

I promise I will have one next week...unless another blizzard hits us!  Eek!  ;D

Happy Monday!

Saturated Canary: good vs evil (what could be "gooder" than a sweet chick protector?!?  Lol!)
 Totally Gorjuss: anything goes with pink!
