Mojo Monday # 379

Hello to all,   It has been some time since I have made my last post.I have been making cards from every cartridge that I have and wanted to make something I have not from each one. So I was as far as Kate's ABCs and decided to go with it for my MJM card.

this turned out to be a sweet baby girl card, one to add to my collection to be used later.

good morning again, I have a big pot of stew in the oven and chili on the stove top simmering, Man is it starting to smell good in the house.  My pastor is coming over for a donation I have for the Lent dinner coming up Wed.  I sure hope he doesn't get any lunch ideas because it won't be ready. Anyway, I am going with spring flowers from walk in my garden, and the grass I found in Kate's abcs

return of the Robins...

Hi all, I found a new challenge over at Pumpkin Spice
Today's Challenge: 
Spring Animals or Insects (Use your Imagination)who can resist sweet spring animals and insects.. even bees and caterpillars are cute, right?!

I believe it ends tomorrow, but I just thought it was a cute challenge,,, Every Spring around here is a look out for the first robin of the season, So far they have been smart and stayed a bit south of here. Not sure they would find anything yet with the ground still covered with snow, soon I am hoping they will show up.  This will be for a birthday this month.

 

thinking of you

Good morning to all, or maybe I should say very foggy out today!!!
I have been wanting to make this card since I first saw it 3 years ago on Kelly's blog,  but I did not have my design studio at that point and when I did have it, I just could not get it to weld properly .....until now... I found this on pinterst, pined it and forgot about it, until  a few days ago I was looking through boards and saw an interesting picture that said   my cricut font list, updated monthly...even though I don't have many font cartridges I clicked on it anyway.....and happy I did ...the front page said  cricut lovers guide to design studio..
Design Studio Tutorials   you will find it here.......
http://myfaqcricutds.blogspot.com/
then go to...Welding objects/text inside a shape
also for the gypsy and cricut message board

Now for Kelly's card....you will find it here...

one diamond at a time.....saved it for next time!!!

Love these!!!

and the directions to make the punched boarder here....

you need to copy and paste, Andrea gives some great directions, but I would add to have great lighting to see what you are doing!

this first one is going to my girlfriend for her birthday'
these are 6x6 and will need a larger envelope.   I will be putting these into a bubble envelope because the edges are a bit more fragile and I pop dotted the  flower and tree,   also the roses are sticking up a bit

Princess (the Word) Challenge

Welcome everyone to this weeks challenge at Bitten By The Bug 2. I, Mona from Scrapbooking For Joy was asked to pick this weeks challenge so I wanted to create something for my daughter's bedroom to emphasize our recent trip to Disneyland and her latest theme for her birthday party so I decided on the word Princess. You can create the word Princess from any Cricut font, so please join us for this weeks challenge.  remember that you must use a Cricut cartridge to be included in our Project of the Week Challenge.

lots of inking, doodling, and I welded the shadow princess on my DS  and pop dotted the frame and the skunk.
