{Mojo} Monday #501

Hello!

I was so excited this week to see Julia Tilman's Facebook post about putting up a sketch on her blog.  While I love playing along with TMS, there was just something special about Mojo Monday!

The sketch...

My take on it...

Good Morning!

Tuesday Morning Sketches had a really interesting sketch this week!
The sketch...

My take on it...

I had so many ideas when I seen this sketch, but it's been one of those weeks where the ideas in my head didn't match up with what I tried to do.  I've worked on several cards using this sketch, but this is the only one I've finished up so far.

Leaf frame cards

Good Morning!

A few weeks ago I found some Spellbinder dies on clearance at HobbyLobby and I bought 3 of them.  Typically, the 1 that I bought and didn't think I'd use much, turned out to be my favorite.  :)

Both background were made with Distress Oxide inks and photo paper.  The butterflies were from Verve stamps and the frame is Spellbinders.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Birthday card

Good Afternoon!

My Granddaughter turned 1 on Wednesday and this is the card I made for her.  I used a stencil and distress oxides for the background and Teddy Bear Parade for the bear and the clothes.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #472

Good Morning!

I played along with Tuesday Morning Sketches this week.  I was looking at the sketch, thinking how am I going to do this when it hit me that my butterfly die from Heartfelt Creations would be a perfect fit to this sketch.

The background was made with distress oxide inks, along with the coloring on the butterfly.

 

Distress Oxides and Jennifer McGuire's teaching skills!

Good Morning!

I don't have an actual card done today, but I wanted to give credit to Jennifer McGuire and her teaching skills!  I've been watching her video's on Distress Oxide Inks.  If you've been following my blog for awhile, you all know I suck at stamping.  lol  I can do phrases (usually!) without a problem, but stamping is just not my thing.  No matter how hard I've tried.  :) 

When I seen Jennifer's video's on Distress Oxides though, I had to give it a try.  This is the post that really got me interested in DO's.  I actually keep that tab open on my browser for inspiration. 

These are the panels I did this morning instead of cleaning my house.  :)

These were done on Alcohol Ink paper.  (According to a Tim Holtz video, do not use Yupo Paper)

 The next 2 were done on Glossy card stock

 This one was done on Strathmore Mixed Media paper

The plan for these panels are to make my Christmas cards.  I played along with Freshly Made Sketches, #352 the other day, on this blog post.  The plan is to make more like that.  I also have another idea, but haven't worked it out yet.
