Make It Mondays

Need a little kick in the creativity? Join Make It Mondays!

Each Monday, a theme will be posted. Make something based on that theme—anything at all. You can make a card, a gluebook page, an altered book layout, draw, paint, whatever floats your boat. The challenge is to MAKE SOMETHING.

When you’re finished, post a link to your piece in the comments section below that week’s theme. You can also upload photos to the group’s Flickr pool so they’ll show in the photostream.
