Mojo Monday #103

Here's my submission for this week's Mojo challenge along with the sketch. I did another Christmas Card, you'll probably see a lot of Christmas from me for the next few months.

For this I used Real Red again for the base as well as more of the same left over Christmas paper I used for the Cuttlebug card. The verse is from the Snow Swirled set and I embellished the card with some Real Red brads and large/jumbo white brads....I stamped a snowflake onto the jumbo brad with red stazon ink.

Thanks for coming by to take a peek!

Mojo Turns 100 - Day 4

As promised here is my card for Day 4 of the Mojo 100 celebration!

I decided to do a simple card with only 2 colors, Rich Razzleberry (my new fav) and White. White ribbon, a big flower from the SU pretties kit & a few large brads added just enough embellishments. I embossed the sentiment in white, this card only took me about 10 minutes :)

Hope you're all having a great week, see ya tomorrow!

Mojo Turns 100 - Day 3

I didn't have a chance to post this yesterday, so here is Day 3 on Day 4!

For this one I used a basic white square for the base and Raspberry Tart designer paper from SU! The rub ons & buttons are also SU and the stamp was an old one I had for years.

I'll be back later with my card for Day 4, thanks for dropping by!

Mojo Turns 100 - Day 1

After about a week "off", I'm getting back at it with today's Mojo Monday, which is actually the first for the week. They are going to post a different sketch each day this week and I'm going to do each one even if it kills me...and in this heat that may very well happen! LOL

For today's card, I used Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo & Razzleberry Lemonade designer paper. The stamp set is Crazy For Cupcakes and I embossed one of the brads from the Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware kit with some Razzleberry ink. The ribbon is some stuff I've had around and I think it could pass for Crushed Curry another one of the new SU In-Colors.

Thanks for looking!

It's Monday!!!

It's Monday, which means it's time for Mojo! For this week's challenge, I decided to kill two birds with one stone and use it for the weekly cuttlebug challenge that I usually do over on PCP.

For the bug challenge this week we were to run a stamped or patterned paper through our bugs with an embossing folder. I chose to use some Raspberry Tart with the Divine Swirls embossing folder. For the images I used one from Stamping Bella, isn't she sweet? I watercolored her with my new watercolor pencils from SU! which I used with blender pens.

Thanks for dropping by!

Mojo Monday!

In case you haven't already figured it out, Mojo Monday is one of my FAVORITE challenges :) I finally recieved the Verve stamps that I ordered and used them on today's card. This is the "Because of You Set" and it is Beautiful! Because they are the clear stamps I used Versa Fine in Sepia to stamp them with. I find that ink works really good with the clear stamps, although the Stampin Up ink works ok as well just not as good.

I think I'll be making more of these cards for Mother's Day :)

Hope you enjoyed your Monday and thanks for stopping by!

OK...so I still haven't received the stamps I ordered from Verve, not sure why they aren't here yet, but I really wanted to finish this card TODAY! So I used a set I DID receive today in my SU! order :) It's from the "A Kind Word" set, another cute one. I used Bella Rose designer paper and practiced more coloring.

It's Monday and here's my card for the Mojo Monday Challenge! It was nice to do a tall card for a change. I used Chocolate Chip for the base and Bella Blue Designer Paper for the background.

Mojo Monday 89

Here's another sketch challenge that I'm doing over at the Mojo Monday blog. I've been checking out the submissions there few the last few weeks and finally decided to start submitting myself. I've posted a pic of this week's sketch and the card I made.
I used Chocolate Chip & So Saffron card stock with designer paper from the Bella Birds series. The stamp set is God's Beauty. All supplies are from SU! except for the ribbon which is from Micheals.
I must say that this card didn't turn out excatly how I wanted but my 7 month old is teething so I was a little distracted. Oh well!!
