mojo Monday # 371

hello,   I like making cards for challenges before I see the samples, this one said Christmas to me...when I started to look for the right papers shine and sparkle is what came to mind.

black back grounds 3 1/2 x 2 3/4
                               2 3/4 x 2 3/4
red                          3 3/8 x 2 5/8

mojo monday #368 and 367

 Good morning to all, it has been a while since I have post any cards. These are some nontraditional colors for Christmas, but I think it works! I have also been making 3 or 4 of each card to restock my supply.

 


last weeks, ran out of time to post sooner.
this paper has a texture on it making is harder to stamp on.

Kyle's 10th Birthday

Hello to all, Kyle was our little surprise when he was born, see, the ultra sound my daughter had was a 95% chance of him being a girl, goes to show you that they have a little room for a mistake, lets just say I had to return a lot of pink. At Christmas time, which is no fun at all!
Any way out little man loves Bat man and I do not have anything bat man so I went to my paper doll dress up cartridge super boy  on page 56 and used black for bat colors, used my DS to weld the mask and hair together to get to look of BM and used the diamond shape from George for the pointy ears. I am sure he will love it!

Deconstructed Sketch #109

Hi all,  I saw this sketch this morning and I thought of another way to use Martha Stewart punch. It is a bit time consuming punching both sides of a 1 1/2 strip of paper and getting it to line up just right but I think for these cards it works well

 

now all I have to do is figure out where to post this!

shape card

good morning, although it is April 4th, there is still plenty of snow on the ground.. Over at Whimsical Designs
the challenge is "shaped cards".  I have not done a potted plant in awhile and thought now would be a good time to make one,   this is for a friends bd for next week.

Clara is turning 2

I know I am going to Love this new cartridge, Even though it is a lite cart, it has a lot going on for itself!
this is one of the 3 1/2 inch bears

sketchy Friday #5, Courtney turns 14

good morning to all,  My granddaughter is turning 14 this weekend, WOW!  good thing for my updating calendar, I was thinking she was turning 13...I found this sketch over at sketchy Friday and thought I would give it a try, anything to help with a little MoJo

Courtney loves her make up and cannot forget the bling!!

bridal shower

Hi all, this is the first of 3 bridal showers that I know of for 2013...3 brothers getting married this year,
 I used the shoes because they were on the invitation...
purple is color in the wedding

note cards

Hi all, I had this one on my DS for some time now and decided to make them.....
I added pop dots to lift the top layer

balancing act....

Hi all... this elephant is on an action wobble and I had a time figuring where the wobble would best fit, but like the little elephant on the ball, I got it!!!   I did put a small piece of paper in the opening between the ball and the elephant, because the wobble was showing and I did not like that... anyway this is for a girl at church...
this is also for the BBTB 2 challenge this week....
 the challenge is to use an elephant from any cartridge and any theme you choose.
I used B is for boy , for the elephant and George for the stars

more note card..

Hi all,   did anyone see the beautiful sun flowers on the morning news today??? ( I think it was GMA)
any, when I saw them I thought they would make a great card, 4 all together...My nephew is also growing them in his garden
I was looking for brown liquid pearls and found a brown stickles for the center of the flower....
I curled the pedals on all but one,inked around all

added on too

Hi all, If this looks like you have seen this one, you have,  I have been looking at this one for a few days now and was not happy with it, so I added this guitar  and looks more like a "You Rock" card   also for a teen boy....

I spy sketches # 25

Hi all, I found this sketch over at ISSC,  I need a birthday card for a young man next month....

more of mojo # 235

Hi all, I liked this Christmas card so much, (not to say how easy it went together) that I made 3 more of them....it stamped so much better after I re inked my black pad, the paper has a texture in it that I had to take a gel pen to the first one to fill in on some spots. I made one with an aqua boarder, I think I like the black better!
Now I have 10 Christmas cards for 2012

card  4 1/4 x 5 1/2
mat   4 1/8 x 5 3/8
note mat is 3 3/4 wide x 4 inches tall
the rest is in my DS

Christmas cards

Yes,That is what I said....I had nothing in mind when I came into my craft room this morning, so why not Christmas!!!
I decided to make 2 of each when I get the whim to make them because I always seem to run short come Dec..

Mikayla's 10th bd card

good morning to all, ...boy, can I hear the wind blowing today!   this card turned out to be a bit larger than what I wanted it to be, but I started out with Daisy and she was cut at 5 1/2 inches and I kept adding things because I was not happy with it, mostly because I made the shadow in green and could not find a lot to go with it,  card size   5 1/2 x 7 inches.

Kyle's 8th BD

Good Saturday to all,  this is the first time I  have used my Cars cartridge, and boy am I glad I did not make it any smaller with all the details on this one, I cut everything @ 5 inches...but I am sure Kyle will love it, and that is the most important part!!!

His birthday is the 23rd and I hope to get more made so he put them on his bedroom wall.

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

at Whimsical Designs! It is challenge day, and today we are creating any card/project that is Christmas/Winter themed and must include something sparkly on it.



Are you ready for Cricut Cardz Challenge #97? This week "A Caroling We'll Go!" Make a card for Christmas based on your favorite Christmas song, using any cartridge(s) and using any colors you'd like.

Hi all,  as I was thinking about my favorite Christmas song, it coming back to "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" and as I was sitting hear I looked out my window and saw this beautiful huge moon coming up..   thinking back, I always loved snow falling Christmas Eve, with the sparkle in the snow. and of course it is at night.... for a girl who hates the cold you would think that it would be something like "chest nuts roasting on an open fire"
 anyway, here is what I came up with....

for Aubrey and Braeden and challenges

Hi all, it seems like a long time since I last posted, only a week. I have been cleaning in my daughters bedroom while she is gone to an FFA convention in Indiana. I figured she asked me to wash her bedding while she was gone it would be a good time to pick up, you would think that a 16 year old would know what a garbage can was used for, tags from clothes, little pieces of paper, soda and water bottles under her bed, and a bunch of other stuff that was just out of place.....anyway about the project I made...

this is for my grand kids, they are to the age they want to put things together, so I made this to go on their patio window,   it is also for 2 challenges....


Cricut 360 challenge ....create a spooky project with a spider and the colors purple, green and orange..

and at My Craft Spot...

This weeks Challenge: 3D Halloween!

 I had seen a pumpkin made this way and  made a spider

 Brittany is in heaven..... I bought her 2 cute blouses for her trip, turns out they had to button up all the way so that the FFA scarf would fit under the collar, she is wearing her dads shirt here, I found 2 that were fitted and sure enough, they fit!!! yes she is tall, but to be fair, my craft room has low ceilings.  she is 5' 8"   and I am
5' 2" so  I have to look up to her....

Color Challenge for Birthday Sundaes #23
