Monday-HMMMM. Not fond of Monday. It’s a very busy day for me here. I dread getting everyone up, fed, teeth brushed, lunches packed, breakfast eaten, and all dressed in time for the bus, and ensuring they have all they need. After 2 days “off”, its always tough getting back into it. PLUS I always get to my coffee when it’s cold on Monday. NO FUN!!! Then it’s onto chores-dust, vacuum, dishes, laundry, feed/walk the dog….the list goes on. I am sure I am NOT alone in this. Weekend’s are just better cause Jay is home to pitch in. Did I say I don’t like Monday’s? :C
This week, I have so many new releases to share WOW! The first week of the month is alway’s crazy for me here. I’m still asking WHERE did March go? I really can’t believe it is the LAST day. Here in New England not a sign of Spring.
GOOD NEWS! My body is adjusting to lack of caffiene and my headaches are no more 😀 My mojo on the other hand is still not feeling so well.
OK back to the card stuff-sorry, you know how I just ramble on & on.
This week I was determined to use an OLDIE-but GOODIE, amongst my new stuff.
If you didn’t know Cindy post’s a MFT Sketch challenge every week, on Monday. So I guess not EVERY aspect of Monday is awful right? You can find it by going into theMFT Forum on SCS. I rarely get to play, but I totally got it done this week! My take varied a little bit.
For you newbie stamper’s out there, as I have said before, the MORE sketches/challenges you participate in, the better you get!
Doing this week’s challenge gave me chance to use my first MFT set called Dino-Mite .
I so love this set. I can never just color the dino-I have to cuttlebug him, or paper piece him. I don’t know WHY, I just do. I think its more fun that way.
Dawn’s card inspired my circles on the bottom of this card. I {heart} her! She is just so great.
I used my super AWESOME Simple Alphabet by PTI, to spell the “happy” on my circles. They are the 3/4 size. The paper that inspired the colors-is by Scenic Route (love it). The metal charm was a Target find.
I’m missing some ribbon on this! I didn’t want to OVER do it, so I left it off. Poor naked card :C
Anyway I hope you like it. It was a fun sketch. Pretty simple.
OK I’ll return later with the C.C. Designs peek, after my errands.
Till then!

I am with you on the Monday thing! We just had 10 days off…..now back to work, school, CCD….the lunches, the running…etc….
This is the cutest card! Love the paper piecing!
So stinking cute I just love that dino too! Cynthia
Very cute, and I love the circle idea! No ribbon suits the card for a boy better I think. Hope your Monday gets better 🙂
Great card, love this stamp set, and your paper piecing is fantastic. No ribbon needed here.
What a cute card – the dinosaur looks sooo good as a polka dotted dino!
looking at this card- I would say that your mojo is feeling just fine!!! This is adorable!
I’m giggling….a card of mine…inspired you? hahaha…girl you crack me up! That dino is totally adorable and he looks so cute paper pieced!
My day is laid back…yep….Spring Break! I did however TRY and put an exercise video in and work off that muffin top(loved your saying) I have gotten over the winter…but Brian has this new Bose system and I can’t figure how to get it off the main screen. My intentions were good though, right? So now I can go stamp…haha!
Have a great day!
So many beautiful things..It makes me want to stamp!-K
Great card Lauren.. Love the paper piecing and the set is too cute!
Oh My Goodness….he is too cute. Joan
Love it! Dino’s should be polka dotted…he looks awesome!
I’m not fond of Monday mornings, but I love my Mondays. A quiet house that slowly gets back in order, no fighting kids, no TV. I actually look forward to my Mondays!
Lauren ~ This is such a “Happy” card!!! Love the little square balloon charm!
cute paper piecing, love the way you did the sentiment!
What a cute card! My nephew would flip over that, he’s a big dino lover! I love the circles, I’ve been so into circles lately so this card definately inspires me 🙂
Just love dots and this it is just soooo cute. TFS
I have this set! I’ve colored him every color in the book….and I have never thought to paper piece him! How smart are you!?! I’m so excited….it will be like a new stamp…a revamped stamp! He looks great in dots!
Super cute!!!

I love this card!! Adorable!
Great card Lauren!!! Mondays just come too quick if you ask me,lol!! I don’t like them either!
Funny you don’t like Mondays. I tell my hubby it’s my favorite day of the week b/c it’s when he goes back to work and the kids go back to school and I get some quieter time in the house…
Hope your week is a good one!
Adorable! I love him with polkadots!!
OK, this is just too stinkin’ cute! I love it!

Darling card! And I agree about Mondays…yuck! And to make today even worse, after getting up early to get my oldest to school, she called an hour later because she’s sick! UGGH! We could have slept in ! LOL Oh, and I thought my coffee was supposed to be cold??!! You mean some moms get HOT coffee…even on Mondays?!
NO WAY! ROFL
you know.. I like Mondays. Everyone is back to school/work. 😉 Even though I have a lot of housework, the peace and quiet it priceless. Then I get to stamp while the dishes are washing, clothes are washing, vacuum is going etc. And it looks like I am a genious in getting it all done. 🙂
Love the card. And you are right about the challenges. I take yours all the time and post them on the stamp board. I try to make a card a day from your designs. At the end of the year, a dear friend will get all 356 cards to use.
Have a fun week.
This is so cute! I love this little dino-guy but I really have no boys in my life to make dino cards for and Ava prefers kitties right now, lol.
Cheery up, Monday is almost over and then we are one day closer to the weekend!
Hey girll
Glad to hear your headaches are better…
Don’t give it totally up though!! That would be sad…
I drink more tea now…
i am getting used to it…
Hugs,
kalila
I thought I had a pretty kean sense of good work, I don’t see what it is you think is lacking on this card, it’s cute, cute, cute. The colors and layout are fantastick. Adding the metal balloon is just the right touch along with the circle letters. Great work, Lauren. TFS.
P.S. When I worked I found ONE great thing about Monday…it’s a WEEK before it comes back again, lol.
In outdoor activities place, especially in the summer
