First Monday Card Challenge! #2 - October 7 to October 25, 2020

Month two of my - FIRST MONDAY CHALLENGE.  But this one is coming out on Tuesday - sorry!  Life has been little hectic and I am always a day late and a dollar short recently.  But better times are ahead.  So ideally on the first Monday of each month you can check my blog (and my Crazy Stamping Lady! Facebook business page) for that month's challenge.  Then you will have till midnight three Sundays later to post your card challenge picture on the post in Facebook (in the comments of the current First Monday post) or you can email me your photo indicating it is for the First Monday Challenge that month - crazystampinglady@gmail.com.  On the next day after the deadline I will draw for a winner and that person will receive a fun current embellishment or dsp sampler from me.  So hoping many of you will join in the fun!

Here is your challenge this month - entries must be received by my no later than midnight on Sunday, October 25, 2020.  On Monday, October 26, 2020 I will draw for a winner from all the entries.  Use the LAYOUT indicated below to create a card of your choice.   Watch my FB Live video on Friday, October 9 at 9:30 AM (MST) if you'd like to see what I can come up with for this challenge.  Can't wait to see what you all create!! Have fun with this.
See you all soon!  ~Maureen

Project Life - A simpler way to keep those memories

I cannot tell you how excited I am about this new line of products "Project Life from Stampin' Up!"  I am such a wanna-be scrapbooker - but it is always such a chore for me - so I tend just not to do it at all.  But this product has changed all that.  Everything you need to put your pages together comes in this adorable little box.  You can buy many different themed sets - each has coordinating cards, stickers and 3D elements. 
 
 All you need are the Photo Pocket Pages below, your boxed set from above and your pictures.  You simple slip them into the sections of the pages - add any additional elements if you want (totally optional) and add a little journaling!!  That's it.  This layout with just the cards could probably be put together in just 10 minutes.
The pages I'm showing were done as part of a class - so the card inserts are stepped up a bit - but realize they are very cute just as they come.  On the page above I added gems to one of the inserts, the little star stickers to another and on the third washi tape, the punched triangles and the wooden arrow.
On the above page I added punched hearts to one card; some stamping, sequins and word bubbles to another; and on the bottom one some punched triangles a wooden triangle, and some Crystal Effects to the little colorful circles.  Finally, we punched the big circle out of a card to frame Makai's picture and added the journaling strip, ribbon and camera button.  The I put a couple arrows pointing to Prince and Paisley's picture.  This layout with all the embellishing would probably take still under an hour to do. Much less time than my traditional scrapbooking pages.  So I am really thrilled.  Watch for my next Project Life by Stampin' Up! class coming in September and plan to join us!  ~Maureen
