The Day of the Month Challenge GD

Send a Card to a Friend Day
I have had the most wonderful, luckiest, start to 2020 - today I'm joining The Day of the Month challenge as their Guest Designer!  I am so thrilled that my Poinsettia card was chosen as their #1 pick - it was inspired by a truly wonderful designer on their team:  Cornelia!   I have you to thank for this honor, my friend:
 

For February 2020 the team has treated us to a wonderful challenge:  make AND SEND a card for a friend!!  I have a very big hug to send to a very sweet friend!


Are you a 'planner' person?  I tried so hard to be … but, alas, the best thing I got out of the effort were some really wonderful papers to turn in to cards!!  My patterned paper was from said planner!


Is that weird that I saved them?  Nah!!  I'll make a point to point them out as they're used - you'll understand, I'm sure!

So!  I'm sure you've already started the design in your brilliant heads - maybe you have even thought of a friend to send it to?  Be sure to share it with us by February 29th!  That's right you even get an extra day to take the LEAP!!!

Congratulations, Michele! So happy for you! This card is absolutely adorable! Those little critters are so sweet. What a great way to recycle the planner that didn't work for you. Ever the clever, frugal crafter. Love it! I hope you have a fabulous weekend! Hugs to you!

Awwwww...it's those sweet hamsters again!! They are so dang CUTE and I love that the dsp you used is from a planner...I never would have thought to save something like that, but you're always thinking outside the box! LOVE that heart die too!! Someone's definitely going to smile when they see this card my friend!! :0)

What a big hug these little guys are carrying with them! Great use for that paper and the hugs die is fantastic! Congratulations on your well deserved win and GD spot!

Birgit said...

This is really cute Michele! I've wanted to be a "planner" person too, but to no avail, I've never accomplished getting there. My life is just too boring to need a planner. At least you got some good papers to use for your always adorable cards. Happy card making!

Cornelia (fun stamping) said...

Awww, you are so sweet! I am sending you a cyber hug, just like the sweet little critters on your fabulous card! Love that background paper! Thanks for being our GDT this month!

Why, yes I do have an idea for a special friend...can you guess who? Though it probably won't be as stellar a card as this sweet one. Glad you saved that paper. Congrats on GD assignment. You nailed it!

Barb Ghig said...

Congrats on your GD spot Michele, I'm not surprised by it though as you are an amazing card maker! I love this sweet card, it is so cute and perfect to send hugs to someone. I used to be a planner person, but went to using the calendar on my cell phone as it can give me a reminder where as a planner can't. lol It was hard at first, because I am a paper person, but I am slowly becoming a digital person. So I love that you are using your planner pattern pages in card making and can't wait to see the next card that has one on it! Hugs, Brenda

Loll said...

Ahhhhh ... so sweet, Michele! LOVE the patterned paper heart background and your adorable, huggable critters. Sweet!! xx

Anita in France said...

Don't think these little hamsters could hug any tighter, Michele ... they're adorable ... fabulous with your fun planner pointy papers!! Hugs, Anita :)

Anita in France said...

Oh, and congratulations on your GD spot! More hugs, Anita :)
