Saturday Challenges are for our subscribers to join in and every time they do they are entered to win a $75 Stampin' Up! merchandise gift certificate and a FREE registration to Create with Connie and Mary Summer Mini Edition!

Here is what I made, a monogrammed journal. This was fun and simple to make yet it makes a bold statement.

I used an Art Journal from Stampin' Up! as the journal. To create the background I used Very Vanilla card stock and the Dotted Scallop ribbon border, Scallop Trim border, Scallop Edge border and the Eyelet border punches and just layered them horizontally on the journal.

I made the flowers using scraps of the Springtime Vintage fabric glued to a circle of sticky sheet in a circular pattern starting in the center.

I added a few basic pearls to the center of the flowers as well as some Pear Pizazz card stock leaves made using the Build a Blossom punch.

The "R" was die cut from Rose Red card stock using the Big Shot and the Serif Essentials die. I used the Baby Blossoms stamp set to stamp a small leaf print onto the "R" using Rose Red ink and then mounted it to the journal using dimensionals.

Be sure to head over to the Create with Connie and Mary site to check out the other Design Team Members cards using these colors as inspiration. While you are there make sure you check out their blogs as well!

This is just absolutely fabulous. I love the layering of the border punches. I think I'll try this on a card base. Thank you for a wonderful idea.
