Mojo Monday #490

Good Morning!

Mojo Monday has a new sketch this week AND on The Verve Blog there is a freebie posted here for the digi I used on my card.

The sketch...
My take on it...

a close up of the digi from the Verve Blog.  It's harder to see, but I added stickles around the word Light and under the word coffee.  Honestly, I'm not sure I can make a card without stickles on it somewhere.  :)

Hello!

I realized today that I hadn't posted the two cards I made for the Mojo Monday sketch yet.  I've been so excited for these past warm and sunny days.  :)

My take on the square sketch...

If I have time, I'll try and do the circle sketch also.
Have a great week!

Good Morning!

Mojo Monday posted their new sketch for the week yesterday.  I made two cards for this sketch, since I couldn't decide which one I wanted to make.  :)

The sketch...
On both cards, the long strip was made from an old kleenex box.  The bird image was cut from an old calendar and the cross image was something I had found online.  (Sorry, I forgot where I found it!)

My cards...



some close ups...

Good Morning!

I played along with Tuesday Morning Sketches today.

The sketch...
My take on this card is NOT the card I had envisioned when I started, it's not even the subject matter.  I had started out thinking I was going to do an Easter card with a Verve Stamp that I like and have never used.  When I went to grab the oval shape I wanted to use however, I found another that I had made awhile back and never used.  lol  (Sorry this is long!)
I also remembered something I had thought of last week while doing my TMS card.  As I glued that card together I was thinking of all the wasted paper that I used for backgrounds, which made me think.  I did not need to waste that paper.  I used my spellbinders A2 matting basics b die, which worked out great.

I glued my light blue paper onto a darker background, but I first cut out the inside of the dark blue paper.  The front...
the backside of this...
Such a simple thing, but it saves so much paper!

Ok, finally, on to my card!


I did the inside with a pocket, like usual.  I've also started adding a gem or something to add height to make opening the cards easier since mine are a bit top heavy.
Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Mojo Monday #487

Happy Mojo Monday!

It's contest week over at Mojo Monday's this week.

The Sketch...
Normally, with the big half circles like this, I use a doily, but I happened to have run out.  Not liking to cover up floral background paper, I decided to use vellum paper instead.  I really liked how different it looked.  I used a lot of gems, liquid pearls and stickles.

Mojo Monday #486

Happy Saturday!

Since there isn't much to do at 4:30 am when you can't sleep, I played in my craft room.  I played along first with Mojo Monday.  (I'll do a separate post for TMS next)  I really had my doubts about this sketch, but I love how the card turned out!
