Our challenge today was to monogram something! So I made a present for my Mom. Happy Birthday Mom!
It was my Mom’s birthday so I decided to make her a set of notecards to keep in her office. This does however come with a catch! Mom…you need to promise to USE these and not just stare at them!! The cards in the top picture were made using the new “Friends Til the End” set that is avaiolable for purchase on the 15th over at Papertrey. I also used the “Fresh Alphabet” set along with the “Simply Stationery” set which is ***swoon*** gorgeous. I kept the packaging simple and tried to follow the sketch of the card onto the packaging. THis allowed for those beautiful flowers to show through the box in the bottom corner. The NEW Melon Berry ink goes so nicely with the Ripe Avocado! Papertrey colors are so rich, deep, beautiful yet trendy. I love them! To top it all off, I added another NEW item from Papertrey. A Vintage Melon Berry Button from their perfect match Vintage Button collection AND a strip of hte new Bitty Dot paper! Hope you try today’s challenge!

My mother still hasn’t received a birthday gift from me. I am very late, perhaps I could make something like this. The colours and delicate line art is lovely.
