Welcome to my new blog – At Monika’s Place!
I’m still doing a little bit more “construction” over here to get everything the way I want it. This will be my new blog home from now on. If you receive my blog updates through email – it should automatically convert to this new blog.
Thanks for stopping by!
Stampin’ Up! is going to be doing a Color Revamp this year. It’s been 8 years since we made a significant change to our core colors. Color trends are change over time and we want to keep our color offering fresh, new, and relevant.
What does that mean? Let’s take a look.
I’m excited about the changes and the new colors. The majority of the retiring colors were not any that I was using. I can’t wait to get my hands on the new ones!
I received these color swatches at the CenterStage event last weekend so here are all the colors in a pretty rainbow swirl!
Be sure to order any ink refills, card stock and accessories in the retiring colors before they are gone for good. You can shop in my online store – HERE.
Thanks for stopping by today.
I’m starting something new for 2018 – Mail a Card Monday – #mailacardmonday.
Every Monday I plan to send out at least one card and I’m challenging everyone else to join me!
This was my mailbox when I was sending out Christmas cards – so I’m not sending out that many every Monday. I’m challenging everyone to send out at least one card each Monday for the whole year! That would be 52 cards.
Last week Monday was a holiday but I got my cards in the box – I had 4 go out last week. So they really went out on Tuesday but I had them in the box. Today I mailed out 7 cards and had to resend one Christmas Card.
Throughout the week I make myself a little list of who I need to send cards to and then on Sunday’s I’m getting them together. I really do love to decorate the envelopes. So if I don’t already have a coordinated envelope I’m try to make those real quick on Sunday night.
Will you join me? I’m posting on my Instagram and on my Facebook Page and Group. Be sure to share a picture with me and a comment and let me know you are playing along.
Have a great day and let me know if you are playing along. And post with the hashtag #mailacardmonday
Last Friday I was scheduled to have a Wrap Up the Holidays class but mother nature didn’t like that idea. Instead we had snow! Which is not normal for us – I live in Georgia – we average maybe 1-2″ of snow in a whole year and that’s usually in Jan/Feb time frame – occasionally in March. Rarely in December. But this weekend we got about 8″ of snow at my house! So since my class was cancelled I decided to be brave and do a FB Live on my Stamping Together At Monika’s Place Facebook page instead. It was my first real one on my page where I showed a project. You can visit my page to watch it if you haven’t already.
Here is the project that I made.
It’s a set of tags featuring the Card Front Builder Thinlits dies and the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack. I also made a little box to hold the tags.
You can get written instructions here – Tree Tags and Box

I’ve been having fun playing with the new Stampin’ Blends. I wanted to show you one of the cards I made.
Isn’t she so cute?
I used the new Stampin’ Blends with the This Little Piggy set. She is so happy on my card. Did you know you can also color the pearls? I have a little tiny pearl in the center of the flower and it’s colored with the Pool Party Blends to match the flower.
Have a happy day! Thanks for stopping by.
