Welcome to the Makeover Monday challenge. Every Monday, as part of our project ideas newsletter we’re going to make over a card, scrapbook page or 3D project, showing you how easy it is to use existing designs (your own OR someone else’s) as inspiration. This week, Tracy has designed this Background Buttons Thank You card.
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 email, then please email us to confirm your subscription 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 of each month – we will announce one challenge winner, who will be featured as a guest designer on the Paper Crafter’s Library blog as well as our Facebook page. As a guest designer, we’ll feature your biography, some of your favorite paper crafting projects and we’ll link to your blog.
Our inspiration piece, shown below, is a project found on Kristina Werener’s blog. We loved the way that Kristina created a multicolored cardstock background and embossed a background stamp image over that.
Here are the details on how you can participate in the Makeover Monday Challenge:
A new Makeover Monday Challenge video tutorial will be emailed out to newsletter subscribers every Monday (so make sure you are signed up).

Good luck to everyone and we look forward to seeing your projects!
Hi! My email acct, jansapp007@aol.com, has been changed to jansapp007@gmail.com. I have not been recv’ng email from you since late June. I am a member of your website and have missed you!…
I LOVE the look of buttons on projects!
Thanks, Tracy. I enjoyed the video tutorial and remember when Kristina did it on hers. I now have 2 great ideas to CASE. I love the gradient look of the colors you chose; Kristina’s is more of a color-block — again, 2 great looks.
Tracy, this is a fabulous MO….love your colors!
What a great idea! Love the use of buttons and the Multics Colorado background.
Tracy!! What a lovely idea:). As always — you do such a terrific job on teaching in your videos:). I love the almost ombré affect that your card had— it reminds me of a sunset:). Thank you for all you do!! Be blessed
