One sketch two cards!

Two weeks in a row I found time to play along with the MoJo Sketch challenge.  I really really love this week's sketch so I made two cards with it.  May even make another one, lol.  We shall see.  Here is the sketch....

And here is my first card, a fun valentine card...

Such fun colors on this one Chocolate chip, pretty in pink and real red.  I love it. 

And the next one is so different yet the same. 

This one uses the Crosses of Hope stamp set, such a beautiful set.  I have wanted it for so long so I finally broke down and got it.  I am so happy I did, so pretty!

Blogger's Challenge -- Color-green, yellow and brown

You can win one of my new tutorials for free by just leaving a comment on THIS POST by Sunday Night.  You can view both tutorials that are available now on my side bar.  

More coming soon.  And all for only $2 each! 

I am finally able to play along with the Blogger's Challenge.  I have been missing quite a few lately but I have added it to my goals to be consistent again!  I love doing them but my schedule changed and I forget to do it early in the week so I am ready on time.  Be sure to check what the other players are doing by clicking HERE.  

This week Lisa gave us a color challenge.  Green, Yellow and Brown.  Ohhh, love this.  I chose to use Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizazz and Chocolate Chip.  I also combined it with the MoJo sketch challenge.  Another one I don't often get to play since it is on the same day as my sketch challenge and the LNS challenge that I do.  Here is the sketch

 

I decided to go with a simple sympathy card.  Nothing too fancy just  pretty and to the point.  

I used the new sympathy set from the current mini Thanks for Caring.  Such a nice stamp set. 

Stamps: Thanks for Caring

Paper: Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip and In color DP paper pack

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Other: Stampin Write Markers, brads, nestabilities

Hope you have a great day!

MoJo Monday on Sunday

It is has been a while since I did a MoJo challenge.  I just got the Very Thankful set and was not sure I would like the peacock but I do -- I really do.  This is my first card with it but I think it is really beautiful and even better yet, different!  What do you think?  I colored the image right on the stamp with markers then did the "huff" thing before stamping--turned out great!

Here is the sketch I used from the MoJo Sketch Blog.   I kept it simple to keep the peacock as the focal point.

Stamps: Very Thankful
Paper: Old Olive, Whisper White, Rose Red and the Sweet Pea Paper Pack
Ink: none
Other: markers, brads, Curly Label punch


This is also my last submission for the Latenightstampers challenge 60--use designer papers.

I will be back later tonight with my new Technostamper Sketch Challenge.

Blogger's Challenge MoJo Style

I got to use another of Julee's great MoJo sketches for this week's Blogger's challenge. The challenge was to make a "manly" card. I thought it was about time I give you guys a sneak peek of one of the new sets in the new catalog coming out July 1st. This set is called Autumn Days. It was hard to get a decent picture because of the size of the card. I also used the new in colors for the next year.


Stamps: Autumn Days, Sweet Little Sentiments
Paper: Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, Dust Durango, Whisper White and new dp
Ink: Crushed Curry, Soft Suede
Other: in color markers!, large oval punch, scallop oval punch, brads, embossing folder, paper piercer, thread.

MoJo Monday on Friday!

Since my challenge and the Latenight Stamper's challenge are both on Mondays I don't often have time to play along with the MoJo challegne #89. I do love her sketches so when I can remember to check it out I do. This week was a fun one and I needed to use up some of this retiring paper so it worked perfect. I love these owls in blue and I am so going to miss this year's in-colors. They are wonderful. I hope the new ones grow on me, lol.



Stamp: Owl Together Now
Paper: Bashful Blue, Pacific Blue, Whisper White and Good Morning Sunshine DP
Ink: Basic Black and Pacific Point
Other: Wide ribbon, circle punch, curly label punch bundle, markers,

Thanks for checking it out. Have a great night.

MoJo Monday Challenge #65

Since Julee does her challenges the same day as me I don't get to play as often I as I'd like to. She has great sketches so when I can I love to play along. Here is her sketch from today....



I made two cards this morning with the sketch- but because I was going by memory and not a print out I forgot the ribbon on the top on both. I think it still holds pretty true to the sketch though even if I couldn't add the ribbon as an after thought.

My first card is using some scraps from an retired holiday scraping kit. I added the stickers on a paper doily. Looks pretty cool don't it?


You can't really see the glitter unless you click on it to enlarge the picture.

This next card was just a bit of playing with my Slice and the stamp set Deer Ol Santa from Storage Units Ink and More. Not a favorite card but I didn't want to not post it, lol!


Hope you are having a great beginning to the week. I see that Mister Linky is temporarily out again so if you play in my challenge and the Linky widget is not there please just leave a comment and I will add it when they are up and running again. Thanks.
