Mojo 122

I'm still playing with my Cricut and new program Sure Cuts Alot which I absolutely loooovvvveee! I have been having so much fun. Now that Christmas has come and gone I have reverted back to my first love, scrapbooking. I am working on my first 8 x 8 album (I am a die hard 12 x 12 kinda person!) titled "ALL ABOUT ME." I know my kids will enjoy it for years to come. So....when I saw the Mojo challenge I knew exactly what I was going to make. One of my 8 x 8 pages!
The paper is all Stampin Up. I cut the frame, swirly, label and flower with my Cricut and scal program. Thanks for looking!

Delightful Sketch #13

Okay, so I said I was done with my Christmas cards but when I saw the Delightful Sketch from http://www.delighfulsketches.blogspot.com/ I just had to use this digi stamp one last time! I'm not sure if I like this card. It has not grown on me and I am not certain that it will. I like the sketch though. For this card I used the digi stamp "Emma the hugger" from  http://www.fred-she-said.blogspot.com/ I colored with water pencils (remember, my new little toy). I used liquid applique with dazzling diamonds for the snow, flocking for the snowman and smooch moonlight ink on the coat.
I promise..I am now done my Christmas cards for 2009!

MoJo 116

Nothing like waiting until the last minute! Besides freezing I have been baking up a storm. Attempting to get it all done PRIOR to Christmas and not AFTER! It was during my cookie baking when it dawned on me that I still had to upload my Mojo card! So....here it is. I was going to do Christmas but in my previous post I said I was done and if I began again...I would probably keep going attempting to get next years cards done! Besides, with this cold weather, I needed to bring a little "sunshine" into my life.
I used the SU stamp Bloomin Beautiful. Cut the white out with the coluzzle and the purple with my Nesties.  I used the cuttlebug, watercolor pencils and a miscellaneous flower punch. I try to stay away from ribbon because I mail most of my cards and it always cost more to mail because it is bulky! Thanks for looking!

Mojo Monday 115

When I saw Monday's Challenge I knew I could do it without too much trouble! I love the sketch! I used my favorite snowflake stamp from Judi Kins that I bought about three years ago at my favorite LSS along with the sentiment.  I stamped in versamark and embossed in gold. I then covered the whole snowflake circle with versamark and embossed with Irridescent Ice to give some "sparkle". The DP is from Creative Memories and card stock from SU - purely pomegranate. Thanks for looking!

MOJO 109

Wow, what a week. My son went in for surgery, daughter was ill and the school was missing 35% of their students! The flu season is here and  many are wondering if they will get the H1N1 flu shot. I too was wondering if I should or not. Then a good friend got the H1N1 and I immediately decided to get it.The poor guy was deathly ill, ached all over, ran a fever for four days was in extreme pain and discomfort. It took over a week to finally feel "somewhat" better.

Nonetheless....I managed to make a card for the Mojo Monday Challenge.

I used the same stamp set as I did in Mojo 108. I love this set. It is sooooooo adorable! I colored it with Tombow markers. The snowmen were colored with Smooch moonlight ink. These are my favorite toys right now. I can't seem to get enough of them! I used my versamark pen to cover over them then used the paint. A trick I learned from Scrap & Stamp magazine.  I cuttled the background and "popped" the picture and sentiment. Thanks for looking!

MOJO 107

When I woke up this morning I was hoping, just hoping the weatherman would for once {lol:)} be wrong in his weather forecast. He wasn't. It was cold and I had to turn on the heat! This afternoon there was a e blizzard and I thought of my daughter driving. (she's a new driver) 10 minutes later the sun was shining! Only in Alberta.

Here is my take on MOJO107. This is my first attempt at the challenges and I hope to partake in a few. You will find her blog at http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com/

I used Chocolate Chip cardstock and Groovy Guava dp. The stamp is from Stampin Up. I stamped it on dp, cut out the flowers and glued them on with mini glue dots. I then used Crystal Effects on the flowers to give them some shine. I used Gina K's idea with the scallop nestability and sponged it with Groovy Guava ink prior to taking off the die, giving it layered effect. Unfortunately, I forgot to attach the brads BEFORE I glued it to the cardstock so I punched some out using a hole punch and crystal effects. I know, I know... I am a little off on keeping them straight! But I tried. Thanks for looking!

Punches, punches, punches!

Here is a card I CASED over at http://www.stampincanada.com/ for the Star of the Week Challenge. Thanks to Donnalee, (whose card I CASED) I had so much fun digging out my punches and creating cards. I made up a few but this was my favorite.
I used miscellaneous paper and cuttled it with the argyle folder. The dress and purse were made using the following punches from Stampin Up: heart, word window, round tab, large and small oval. I cut out rectangles for the skirt of the dress as well as the flower, embellished with mini pearls. Thanks for looking!

MOJO 106

My first attempt at Mojo Monday Challenges. I really, really struggled with this. I have a real problem with matching designer papers. Thanks for looking!
