Mojo Monday #415


Good morning crafty friends! I hope y'all are having a great weekend so far!
Hubby and I are about to head out to go do a little hiking for the next
few days! Are plans for the weekend changed like 50 times over the last few
days because of potential rain and storms. We had originally planned
to camp but figured with potential storms that wasn't the best idea, so we found
somewhere that still had rooms available at a state park so we settled on that.
Anyways, before we head out, I wanted to share a card I made last night
following the current sketch from Mojo Monday. I am also entering this card
into the current Verve Inspiration Challenge.



Enabler's List:

Paper: CTMH - Sangria
Stamps: Verve - Harvest Blessings
Ink: CTMH - chocolate, olive, goldrush, and pomegranate 
Dies: Marvy - tag punch
Misc: CTMH - gold sequins, misc button and twine

As You See It #104


Good morning crafty friends! I have some exciting news!! I have been asked to be on the
Design Team over at As You See It!! AYSI is a super fun weekly challenge blog that posts
a new challenge (usually a sketch) every Friday with projects being due by Wednesday
evening! I am so happy to be playing along with this new challenge!It definitely made
me have to think outside the box, but I love to be challenged once in a while! 

For the new challenge, you must use all of these items on your project, but for
instance, like me, I din't have anything "pool party" so I just used a similar color.

For my card I cut out circles for my negative space out of my patterned Ombre paper,
then having that negative space filled with paper close to the Pool Party color, and
putting a little slate ribbon with a knot and finishing up with a sentiment and other details:

Viva la Verve September week 2


Good afternoon crafty friends and happy Lord's Day! I hope y'all have been having
a great weekend! We sure have! Friday night out with about 15 couples from
our Sunday School class and Saturday morning at the food bank. Good times!!
Before we head out to evening service I wanted to share a card I made this afternoon
for my uncle's wedding. He is my dad's half bother and only 2 years younger
than me... Sounds strange, I know. My grandma skipped out after my dad graduated
highschool and eventually my Gramps found a new lady a little younger than
him who had never had kids yet so they had a few. I think of them more like cousins
then uncle's and an aunt. Anyways, they are awesome people. The wedding
is in Utah this coming weekend, I can't go, but my parents and sisters are going so
I thought I'd make a card that I think matches my soon to be aunt's country personality
to send with a gift card along with my parents. I followed the September week 2
sketch from Viva la Verve and am also entering this card into the current 
Verve Inspiration Challenge and the current challenge at Wordart Wednesday.



Enabler's List:

Paper: Paper Studio - wood grain and kraft cs
Stamps: CTMH - Wedding Day
Ink: CTMH - chocolate and olive
Dies: MFT - Gerbera Daisy die
Misc: burlap, lace ribbon and Recollections - gems

Mojo Monday #413


Good afternoon crafty friends! I hope y'all are having a great weekend! I hung 
out with a friend last night who was bored since her husband was out of
town and had no one to watch her kiddos so I went over to her house to hangout!
We had a great time chit chatting and watched a movie. I stayed out until after midnight
which for me never happens lol! I'm getting too old to stay up late. This morning I slept in 
and then did some crafting! Later this evening we are going out to dinner with some 
friends and then my hubby is taking me to go see his new office space that I can't 
wait to decorate if he lets me! Right now he has a folding table and chair in 
there which obviously won't do. He needs an nice, professional place to work outside the
house where he can have clients meet him instead of him always having to go to them
since he doesn't want to bring them home to his office. I've been on Craigslist looking
at some nice desks and credenza's which I think would work for him. 
Anyways, before I get to a little cleaning I want to share one of the cards I made this 
morning following the current sketch from Mojo Monday.



Enabler's List:

Paper: Doodlebug - Ghouls and Goodies
Stamps: Verve - Boo to You
Ink: Ranger - black archival

fun twist! Hope y'all will come and join us sometime over the next 2 weeks!

I made a shaker following the sketch, but I tweaked it just a bit.

thought the background could use some banners to add some extra fun.
