Good morning and welcome to Over The Moon Monday. I hope you had a great weekend. I went to a cookout for my nephew, who just finished Marine Corp boot camp. He has to leave to go back before Thanksgiving, so this was his Thanksgiving dinner. He wanted a cookout so his friends could come and visit with him.Let's get started with today's challenge, shall we?
From my beginnings in scrapbooking, I have a ton of stickers. For today's challenge, I want you to use a sticker on your card. I needed a card for a baby shower (where the mother doesn't know the sex of the child ahead of time). Not having many baby stamps, I decided to improvise with what I had. 
To make this card, I used:
- 2 pieces of white cardstock, 1 cut to A2 size, and the other 4-3/4 x 3-3/4
- a piece of green cardstock 5 x 4
- a contrasting piece of yellow cardstock 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 (you could use patterned paper)
- a Mrs. Grossman baby carriage sticker
- Stampin' Up canvas background stamp
- green dye ink
- yellow ribbon
- decorative border punch
- words are computer generated
I punched out the edge of the white cardstock, then layered the yellow cardstock close to the edge. I turned back the left edge of the cardstock (in this case by 1/2"), punched 2 holes and threaded my ribbon through it.
I then layered the green cardstock onto the folded white A2 cardstock, and lalyered the white cardstock on top of that.
A pretty simple card, but still looks elegant.
Now let's see what you do with this challenge. Please post a link to your creation in the comment section so we can all enjoy it and be inspired by your creativity.
Last week I got to spend an afternoon with my dear friend, Shelly, and I had a great time. We hardly ever get to see each other, with her illness and my work schedule, so it was really fun to be able to get together.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Don't eat too much turkey, and we'll meet back here next week for another Over The Moon Monday.
