Mojo Monday 89

Monday, Monday! It seems like Mondays always just show up abruptly - especially in the morning! LOL Anyway, I haven't played any Mojo Monday sketch challenges in awhile. I keep looking at them and then by the time I get to thinking about it, there's a new one! Anyway, I stopped and played today. You can see the original sketch here - I notice now that I should've moved my sentiment, etc. over a bit to the left. And since I cut enough stuff to 4 make of these little babies, I will do that on my mass producing assembly line. :-) I hope to be back with a few other sketch challenge cards over the next few days. I really should be sewing ... AND I got directions for what to do with those fabric strips today, so I need to get a jump on that and show you how that turns out. :-)

Mojo 74 Sketch

It's been awhile since I tackled a Mojo Monday sketch. But I went for this one. I used some Bella Rose paper from SU!, which is soooo pretty. I wish I had more of it! :-)
Once, I got done with the sketch, I wasn't too sure about the off center strip - I am so much better with formal balance and symmetry! So, I decided to make a 4-1/4" square card that based based off the sketch with more of that lovely paper. The little on is on its way to SCS Birthday girl!

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI White
Stamps: SU! Upsy Daisy
Ink: SU! Chocolate Chip
Patterned Paper: SU! Bella Rose
Other: PTI Stitched Ribbon in Ripe Avocado, Martha Stewart pearls, Prima flowers

Here's my version of Julee's Mojo Monday sketch Challenge. This was a pretty easy layout to put together. I used a combination of SU! and Papertrey ink, paper, stamps and ribbon. I am still deciding how I like the color combinations - especially the purple/gold/brown.

I have been trying to get back into the routine since we got home from the beach where all we did was lay by the pool. And work is fast approaching. Kind of excited to go back, but mostly not! haha We'll see how it goes.

Well, we are off to take my MIL out to dinner for her birthday. I will post the card I made for her tomorrow. Happy Friday!

Mojo Monday #46

Mojo Monday Sketch #46. Here's my entry for this week's Mojo Monday sketch from Julee. I kind of had a hard time putting this together. I wanted to use 3 butterflies, but had trouble placing them without it being too matchy matchy. I think it turned out pretty good. I really like this color combo - PTI Vintage Cream with SU! Groovy Guava and River Rock. I edged the sentiment circle w/ a Copic marker and went over it with the colorless blender to soften it up. The stamps are from Verve (Julee's company).

The ribbon is from American Crafts. Hope you like it!

I also have one more pink & green owl ... I will post her tomorrow :-)

Sketch Challenges...

This first card is for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge that she hosts every Friday. You don't have to use a Cupcake image, but I chose to this week. The cherries are colored with a glitter pen to add some sparkle. I colored the image w/ Copic markers and added some ribbon leading to the flower sentiment ... I handwrote the sentiment since I couldn't find one I liked that also fit. Obviously, I am really into this pink and green paper! haha

This next card is for Julee's Mojo Monday challenge. I made the cupcake paper by repeating my stamp image and then coloring it to "go" with the dotted background paper. I added some sparkle with the glitter pen and used the sentiment from the stamp set - this is one of those $1 babies from Studio G sold at all the big box craft stores. They are sometimes not the best - they can be hard to get a good, clean impression, but it worked out great this time. I really love the swirly "wishes" under the birthday. It turned out pretty cute. And I will probably make more Cupcake paper in the future - it was kind of fun.

Mojo 44

This is for the Mojo Monday Sketch challenge at Verve. I really love the paper - from Basic Grey's Infuse collection. I also added some PTI Vintage Cream and SU! Chocolate Chip. I had to hand cut my photo corners since I don't have a punch, but they came out ok. I wish I had used a bigger main image, but overall I like how it came out.

Verve has some cool stamps - check 'em out.
