Something Masculine for a Change

For this week's Mojo Monday sketch, I decided to change gears from all the feminine looking projects I've been doing. I took this card in a more masculine direction using a brown and blue color scheme. I have been on a real embossing kick lately and this card is no exception. The belt buckle, star and sentiment are all embossed. All supplies are CTMH, although both the paper and stamp set (belt and buckle) are retired. The sentiment and star are from D1333 Wishing Star. Colors are Bamboo, Cocoa and Indian Corn Blue.

Happy Birthday Betty

I am really going to make an effort to not wait until the last minute to make cards this year. It is pretty sad that I can design cards to teach my customers to make, but don't always get the ones I need to send out, made in time.

Here is the card I made for my mother-in-law's birthday. It is based on this week's Mojo Monday sketch 121. All materials are CTMH although the papers are retired.

Wishing everyone a great week!

Better Late than Never...My take on this Week's Mojo Monday

This is my card based on this week's Mojo Monday sketch. It features Close to my Heart's stamp set "Ring in the Year". This cute set is retiring the end of this year. Paper used is also CTMH; "Aspen" whose featured colors are, Twilight, Outdoor Denim, Bamboo and Creme Brulee.

Another Card using "Grace"

I really like the beautiful Autumn colors in Close to my Heart's "Grace" paper pack. This is another card made with those papers. It is based on Mojo Monday sketch #105. I used the "Delightful Things" stamp set (D1369) and the new "Wonder" Heartfelt Die-Cuts.

Be sure to check out the latest episode of Art & Soul on my CTMH website to see other great ways to use these products and a chance to get this great stamp set at a discount! Look for the episode "Crossing Borders" under CTMHTV.

Some Christmas Mojo

Here is a quick Christmas card based on this weeks Mojo Monday sketch #103. I used Close to my Heart's "Everlasting" paper pack and the October stamp of the month set called "Holiday Warmth". The card, also has some glitter and sparkles which aren't showing in the photo very well; it's much prettier in person.

Be sure to go to the Mojo Monday blog and check out all the beautiful artwork for this weeks sketch.

Mojo Monday 99

I am so happy to have found the Mojo Monday blog. It is so much fun to take on these different challenges. If you haven't tried it, do so. At least, go and look at the beautiful artwork you will find for each weeks design.

For this card, I am again trying to use up my scraps. The design is Mojo Monday 99. All supplies are CTMH except embossing powder, which is from Sparkle and Sprinkle. Stamp set used is "Annotations".

Well, happy Hump day to all. I'm off to cram in as much papercrafting fun as I can before I have to go back to work! The summer has gone by way too fast!

Mojo Monday 98

Today I decided to make a Christmas card using the Mojo Monday 98 sketch for inspiration.

The background paper is glossy cardstock with alcohol ink. I am just beginning to use the alcohol inks and have a very limited supply, but I thought these colors would be pretty on a Christmas card.
All the rest of the materials, except the ribbon are Close to my Heart. The poinsettia and corner stamps are from "Gift of Love" (C1291) and the scroll is from "Life's Creation" (D1304). They were all stamped with Versamark and embossed in gold.
