MoJo Monday Challenge....

I know, I miss a day then post twice in 1 day.... what is happening to me eh?? Anyway, I wanted to do the MoJo Monday Challenge, didn't have a clue what I was going to do but it all came together rather nicely... here is the Sketch....

And here is my interpretation of it.... infact it is probably almost exactly the same, no clever thinking for me this week.... am loving the colours I used, nice and vibrant and just right for this time of the year when it is grey, cloudy and rainy (or maybe snowy where you are)...

For this card I used More Mustard, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White. The patterned paper is from the old hostess Level 1 Set and is Real Red and More Mustard. The Ribbon is Real Red Grosgrain and the scallop edge was used by cutting out the 1/2" circles and putting them in a line along the curve.... The strange shape below the bow was cut out using a Martha Stewart Punch. The image is from the set A Flower For All Seasons (all Stampin' Up! stash except for the Martha Stewart Punch).....

And here is the inside of my card. Both sentiments are courtesy of the Stampin' Up! Saleabration Set Vintage Tags..... just the right size for what I needed....

Dont forget to check back on my blog tomorrow for my Why Not Make It Wednesday Video Tutorial... have a great day all xx

Papertake Challenge

Well I am doing well so far, have managed a challenge for Monday and now another for Tuesday. Today I have made a card for the Papertake Weekly Challenge and it is a sketch challenge... and here is the sketch....

You can find the challenge here. And here is my card, another for my order of 12 as I really need to get them finished and have only managed 2 so far, will definately have to get a move on, but it just seems to take so long for me to make cards, I am definately not one of you who can put a card together in 30 minutes.... lol

I have used Cosmo Cricket Early Bird Patterned Paper and Papertrey Aqua Mist Cardstock. The image is Stampin' Up! A Flower For All Seasons and the ribbon is also Stampin' Up! grosgrain in Chocolate Chip. The sentiment is Verve Stamps and the pearls are from my stash, I bought loads of pearls when I went to the Ally Pally last month. And as always the inside has been decorated to match...

The centre of the flower was stamped using Stampin' Up! Chocolate Chip Ink and using the new Circle Circus stamps. The scallop punch is Martha Stewart and the shape is a Nestabilities die. Hope you like it, have a great day all xx

Mojo Monday Challenge Card

I am sadly lacking in card making at the moment, but the children have gone back to school today, and I have a 12 card order to fulfill so thought I had better get stuck in. I have stamped lots of images today, now I just need to colour them and make some cards.... definitely need to start on some Christmas Cards for myself and for the small boys to give to their classmates.

Anyway, I used some of my new Stampin' Up! stamps called A Flower For All Seasons... if you want to be the last person to sign up to my Stampers 10 Club then you can get this set free on your Hostess Month. I used Taken With Teal Cardstock and the sentiment is from Verve Stamps, I just love their scripture stamps. The Patterned Paper is Cosmo Cricket Early Bird.

And here is a photo of the inside, just used the same papers as on the outside to give it some continuity. I find it easier to make cards from a sketch so thought I would make this card using the Mojo Monday Card Sketch which you can find here.

Thanks for looking everyone... have a great evening. xx
