Mojo Monday

Hi!  I sure had a crazy, busy weekend.  It didn't feel like I was home at all.  The worst was when my cell phone crapped out on me Saturday morning.  Now I never thought of myself relying on my cell but OMG, I felt like a part of me was missing, it was so weird!  And we had a house guest too and I couldn't reach her to tell her my phone busted as the only place I had her number was in my cell.  Note to self, write numbers down in the future.

Ok, onto the sketch!  I whipped this up in less than an hour, yes me!!!  But I had no choice as I realized I hadn't completed it at 8pm last night!  So out came this cute little polar bear guy from Stamping Bella and the card was done. 

Make sure you head on over and check out the other cards at the Mojo Monday blog, then play along by uploading your card using the keyword MOJO164.   Ciao!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canucks and Columbus Day in the US (that is what my calendar says)!  I am making my first turkey today for my family, yes my first!  My Mom and MIL always did it and finally they are letting me take over the reins.  So I did tons of research on how to make the perfect turkey and well, I will let you know in 7 hours what everyone thought! 

Speaking of what everyone thinks, what about the sketch this week at the Mojo Monday blog, OMG!  I had a tough time with this one, I wonder if my team did too?  Don't forget to play along with us and upload your card with Mr Linky using the keyword MOJO160.  

I have a few more Halloween cards to make to get them out in time.  I don't send as many as I do at Xmas, thank god!  'Battiful Darling' is from Stamping Bella and he is so freakin' cute!  I was pleasantly surprised on how big he was.  Ok, I guess I should go and prepare my bird....GOBBLE GOBBLE!

Morning!  What a great weekend as the weather co-operated and we did tons of 'preparing for winter' stuff.  Ok, my DH did it all but I did oversea most of the projects.  I was in charge of drinks and treats! :)  It is October 4 and who knows when Ol' Man Winter will show his face!

I did a little switcheroo with the sketch today along with a little softer side.  I tend to do bright, vibrant cards but when I saw this stamp by Stamping Bella, Gwendolyn Lulu, I knew I needed to go more pretty!  I added some Stickles to the flowers and Crystal Effects to the icing....yummy, Chocolate!!! 

It is the beginning of the month over at the Mojo Monday blog so you know that means prizes right!  Upload your card/project with Mr Linky using the keyword MOJO159 and you could win a Verve set of your choice!  So play along!   Ciao!

Mojo Monday - Round or Square?

Monday already...this weekend flew by!  I will have to tell you later about my Copic class I took yesterday, wicked!!  But first my Mojo Monday card. 

I usually always go with the square but I thought why not venture out of my comfort zone and go round...bad idea!  Look how I cut off the top of the card...yes, I could of started again but that is just a waste of good cardstock!  And then my 'hi' went wonky and now that I see it up on my post, I should of done something around the edge on the scallops, holes or sewing or something....argh!  I promise to do better next week!!   LOL   I used this cute image from Stamping Bella from the Turtle Tots collection!  Love him!  

Don't forget to play along with us over at the Mojo Monday blog.   Upload your round or square card using the keyword MOJO158, we always love seeing everyone's great works of art!  Ciao!

Today's sketch over at the Mojo Monday blog is from Teresa and what a great one!  It took me forever to figure out what pattern paper to put where but once it all came together, I was happy with the end result.  Why don't you play along and upload your project with Mr Linky over at the blog and use the keyword MOJO156.  We love seeing all the great works of art!

Wish Big!

Happy Monday to you All!  I think everyone has the day off today right?   I don't know what we are going to do yet as we have to check on the weather!  It rained cats and dogs last night so if it is the same, craft desk, here I come! 

Two of my nephews birthdays are this week, Carter is turning 5 and Travis will be 13, so what better to make cards with than these guys from Stamping Bella.  Of course I paper pieced almost everything on him but I had to!  This paper from Cosmos Cricket has been one of my fave's especially doing male cards!  I did see someone's the other day (wish I could remember) and they did a female card with it and it rocked!   I do hope Em releases more of this guy, maybe a Xmas one would be cute...I will ask her! 

It is first sketch of the month over at the Mojo Monday blog which means contest!  We select on winner every 50 entries and they receive a Verve stamp set of their choice.  Just link your project up with Mr Linky using the keyword MOJO155 and the winners will be announced on Wed, Sept. 12.  Play along and have fun!   Ciao!
