Hey everyone!
Happy Monday! I know, I know, Mondays are tough. We all need a little tonic to help us get through the day. Luckily there’s a new challenge in town to help us do just that – the Cure For The Monday Blues Challenge!!
This is a challenge which I’ve created myself, yay me! Every Monday I will bring you a photo inspiration challenge, with images that focus on lifting us out of those Monday doldrums and all inspired to create!! I’ll be asking you to play along as well and linking up your creations! At the end of each week I’ll pick a Top 3 who’ll be my Cures For The Monday Blues and receive a special badge to add to your blog!!
This challenge is in its twenty-fourth week now – woo hoo!! Thank you to everyone who has given it love and support and helped it to grow!
In case you missed this previous post, please read on for some of the recent changes made to the Challenge – including info on how to be in with a chance of becoming a Guest Designer!
Right then. Back to business, lol!
Before we get to this week’s challenge I want to once again thank all of you that submitted entries for the last challenge. I am always especially happy to see some new faces to the Challenge, as well as ‘regulars’! They were all truly beautiful entries and you did not make my life easy when choosing the winners!! I really wanted to pick you all!! Here are my Top 3 Cures For The Monday Blues:
Winners please contact me to be sent your challenge winner’s badges!
Yet again I had some absolute stunners for entries. It is seriously getting harder and harder each week to pick out only a Top 3! All of you have really been putting in some amazing designs and it makes me so happy when you play, so please keep playing along!
So are you excited to get this week’s challenge under way?! Let’s see what’s up for this week’s inspiration:

Storage with style!! I just love that fun retro colour combo with all those great items on the shelves and the pops of colour everywhere!! So much to inspire in this one!!

Thank you for choosing my card, Taheerah. Congrats to Dana and Sabrina, they have two beautiful cards.
For this week I have a few ideas but they still need some consistency… would love to see your take. The gray felt in the picture is calling my name, so this might be a clue :).
Thanks so much for the shout out Taheerah and congrats to Dana & Cris also!! Looking forward to seeing your take on the new inspiration – that's one cute craft space! 🙂
Congrats to the challenge winners…such talented ladies. This new one has my head spinning with ideas already. Hmmmmm.
