An early re-cap of Sketch Challenge 111

Very few players this week so I thought I would get this done early and spend some time with my son. So here is the re-cap of last week's sketch.

Thanks to those of you who played along, I truly appreciate it.

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.

Framed windows!

I did not think I liked this technique when I seen it but decided to finally give it a try and I LOVE it!  How fun and so easy.  What do you think.  You can find the directions on SCS by clicking HERE.

Of course I combined it with the Latenightstamper challenge for the week to use designer paper!  This challenge is oh so easy.  I made two cards with the technique so far. But will defiantly be making more.
