Birthday Pansies

The Meljen’s Designs challenge for this week is a super easy one.  This week we want you to wow us with ANYTHING GOES!   Knock off our socks with any project using a Meljen’s Designsimage.

For my project, I decided to go with paper piecing again.  It must be the spring fever that I am suffering from that has made me not want to color.   But that is okay because Meljen’s has so many images that work perfectly with paper piecing.   (Melissa also has a large variety of precolored digis if you don’t feel like paper piecing either.)

When you stop by the Meljen’s Designs blog to link up your ANYTHING GOES creation, be sure to check out the posts from the Design Team.    We all are taking turns posting tutorials, tips, or little snippets about our favorite Meljen’s Designs images.    If you haven’t dropped by, you are missing out on all kinds of beautiful projects and inspiring tutorials.

Do you remember what exciting event occurred at the beginning of April 2 years ago?  What?  You don’t?  Well, the very first Meljen’s Designs Design Team was kicked off with a blog hop. (I was part of that team!)    In order to celebrate, we are going to have an Anniversary Blog Hop starting on April 2nd.   And what is a blog hop with out prizes?  Mark your calendars!  You won’t want to miss it.

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great day!
