While I was able to play along with Mojo Monday ON Monday, I forgot to blog it.  LOL  It's been one of those weeks.  :)

The sketch...

My take on it, using an image from The Old Design Shop...

Spellbinder's Fleur De Lis Accents

Good Morning!

Last week I bought the Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Accents.  I had found an card on Pinterest  done by Heidi Blankenship that I really liked.  {The link is to her blog, I don't know where on her blog this card is since I found it on Pinterest.}

Heidi's card....
You can see that I used Heidi's card for a guide, but I made mine a little differently.



From the same dies, I also made this one...

An assortment of Spellbinders

Good Morning!

I've taken quite a bit of time to craft lately, making mostly cards but I've also done some more bon bon or cracker boxes.  Instead of doing several different posts, I'm just going to do this one and put up all the photo's.  If you have an questions on anything, feel free to e-mail me or comment and I will answer your questions.

First, the bon bon/cracker boxes...


Cards using the Spellbinder's Filigree Delight die set by Amazing Paper Grace...



Next up is Spellbinders Opulent Ovals and Elegant Labels 4....



And last, but never least is the Elegant Labels 4 and some homemade flowers....


Have a great weekend!

Tuesday Morning Sketches

Good Morning!

Despite all the other cards I made this week, I found time to play along with the sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

I created the following card, which I think is my favorite this week.


If you look closely, you'll see I used liquid pearls on the flower centers, not to mention around the oval.  For those of you who follow my blog know, I (almost!) always use liquid pearls and ink my layers.


If you look even closer at the bling, you'll see where some of the ink rubbed off and the swirl actually started out pink!  I just used my purple chalk ink and a make up sponge and changed the color.

Have a wonderful weekend!

A lifetime of happiness

Good Morning, again!

I couldn't resist one more card using Mojo Monday's sketch!



I promise I won't use this sketch any more this week!  :)

3 year old birthday card

Good Morning!

My nephew is turning 3 this week so I wanted to make him a special card.  He loves trains, I made him the train book HERE, so of course it had to have one.  After all my pieces were cut out of my expression, I decided to use the Mojo Monday sketch, again.  :)  I did mention the other day that I loved this sketch! lol
