Mojo Monday 242

Happy Thursday!  This week is just flying by, which is lovely since we have a long weekend coming up!  Today I want to share a card based on this week's Mojo Monday sketch.

Simple Card

It seems as though I've had these great intentions lately.  I look at the sketch on Mojo Monday, usually on Monday.  I make the card and then never post it in time for the challenge!

Shabby Chic Card

I {heart} My Mind's Eye paper, don't you?  A couple of weeks ago, I picked up the Lost & Found stack by My Mind's Eye at Hobby Lobby (on sale, of course).  I am loving it!  I bought the 6x6 stack and that's the perfect size for cards.

Mojo Monday 231

Wow...I've had a lot of posts this week!  So why not add one more, right?  I actually made a card based on this week's Mojo Monday sketch and have it ready in time to post it!  I made this based on the sketch #231:

Here's what I came up with...

All the paper for this card is from DCWV.  It came from a stack that I had totally forgotten I had!  I love it when you find something you've forgotten about!  The card measures 5" x 6.5".  The black mat was cut at 6" x 4.5".  The ivory patterned mat was cut at 5.75" x 4.25".  

The flowers are from Flower Shoppe.  I cut them at 1.25", 1.5" and 1.75".  I added a glitter brad to the center.  The tag is from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and was cut at 2.25".

The sentiment is a stamp from Verve.  I stamped it in black ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder.  The scalloped circle came from Mini Monograms and was sized at 3".  After I cut it with my Cricut, I hand cut it in half.  I didn't have any wide black ribbon, so I added a strip of paper instead.

Per the sketch, I added 3 black pearls on the bottom of the pennant.

That's all for today!  Have a fabulous Wednesday!

Blessings,

Mojo Monday...a liltte late!

Does it ever seem there aren't enough hours in the day?  Some days I feel I could use some extra hours for sure.  I made this card last week based on the Mojo Monday sketch...then ran out of time to post it!

Mojo Monday Card

I am on a roll with these challenges this week!  I have had a blast creating things for the different challenges.  I've never used a Mojo Monday Sketch before and I have to admit....I might be hooked!  I have actually never used a card sketch before at all and it was a nice change to have the layout already done for me.  Here's the sketch we were to use:

And here's my interpretation.

The paper is from DCWV All About Girls Stack.  I used my Cricut.to cut all the shapes for the card.  I used George and Basic for the circle and ribbon/pennant shape.   For the pennant, I used a rectangle and added a triangle at the bottom on my Gypsy, so when it cut it made the correct shape.

The flower and leaves are from Plantin Schoolbook.  I cut the flower in 3 sizes and cut 3 of each size.  I layered them all and clipped together with a brad, then curled the edges just a bit.  I did two layers of each leaf so they would stand up a bit.

 I inked the edges of everything using Brown Colorbox ink.  For the sentiment, I cut a shape in two sizes from Elegant Edges and layered them.  The stamp is by Verve Stamps.  Can I just say how much I love Verve Stamps?  They are Fab-u-lous!  (No, they're not paying me to say this...but I wish they would!)  You can check them out HERE.

It's hard to tell in some of the pictures (especially with a broken light and horrible pics!), but the paper has lots of glitter and sparkles on it.  Love. It.  I would like to encourage you to check out the Mojo Monday Sketches and maybe try your hand at it.  I had a great time trying it out!

Blessings,
