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, Paper Crafter’s Library Senior Educator/Designer Tracy Wegener has designed this “Pink With Gratitude” 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 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 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 an archived project from the Andrea Walford blog.
Here are the details on how you can participate in the Makeover Monday Challenge:

Congratulations Sara Nell. Please email us at customerservice@papercrafterslibrary.com and put “Makeover Monday” in the subject line.
Congrats to Sara! Great Makeover Monday challenge.
Love this card! what are the letters from?
The makeovers are a lot of fun. They inspire me to dig out some of my old cards and make some new ones with a different twist.
Love the PINK! My youngest daughter would love to receive this as a birthday card. Thanks for the inspiration!
