Welcome to the Makeover Monday challenge. Every Monday, as part of our project ideas newsletter we’re going to make over one of our own older cards, showing you how easy it is to use existing designs (your own OR someone else’s) as inspiration. This week Tracy has designed this “You Make Me Smile” card. This card features a variety of alphabet stickers and embellishments.
Your challenge – as with our previous Makeover Monday Challenges – is to use our piece as inspiration and make it into a card, scrapbook page, or other project. You can use the layout, the colors, an element you like…it can look like our piece, or nothing at all like our piece. We want to see where YOU take this. This challenge is strictly a “work from your stash” challenge.
As a newsletter subscriber you will have received a link to a private web page, from which you can watch the video tutorial. If you didn’t receive the video tutorial link then please be sure to email us at customerservice@papercrafterslibrary.com. In order to ensure you don’t miss any more of our Makeover Monday Challenge video tutorials, please be sure you sign up for our FREE email newsletter from the top right sidebar of this blog. Please note that the video tutorial will be available for general viewing for one week only – and then will be moved into our library for our members only
Every Monday, here on the blog, we’re going to post the original picture, and the made over picture. You will have ONE week to upload your challenge piece.
Instead of a weekly prize though, we’re going to award a prize monthly. So for each week you participate and each project you submit – you will get one entry into our monthly draw. On the first Monday each month – we will announce one challenge winner, who will receive one of our grab bags featuring over $30 of paper crafting products.
Our inspiration piece, shown below, is an archived project from the Andrea Walford blog.
Here are the details on how you can participate in the Makeover Monday Challenge:

Good luck to everyone and we look forward to seeing your projects!
Think i will be using this on my cards and scrapbooking to use up those left over letters you always end up with , Hate to waste them.
Love this project. I think I’ll give it a try.

I love the combination of all the letters especially the Scrabble ones.
Great cards. I like the sponging effect. It takes a plain piece of cardstock and really makes it pop! What a great way to use up leftover letters too 🙂
Love the scrabble tiles on the card.
like the use of scrabble letters on the card.nice cards today.
What fun! Thanks as always for the great inspiration!
I really like this technique. If there’s anything I have a lot of it’s masking tape. I’ll never look at it the same again. I will be moving a roll of it into my craft area. 😉
I like the pretty colors on the card framing the words.
