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!

The nice weather is finally here! Man it's been a long haul! I don't know about you but the cold makes me kinda cranky. Not that I want to be, just I get sick of getting bundled up, warming up the car, freezing in the office (my desk is near a bunch of windows)...do I need to go on?

I haven't done much scrapping lately. I have been hooked on "Sure Cuts Alot". I researched, read forums and finally purchased it with the intent of getting right down to my scrapbooking. Well....I have been playing with my new software and before I know it, it's time for bed! Yikes! Have you checked it out. If not, go to http://www.craftedge.com/ and read all about it. Then...if you decide to purchase it you have to go to http://www.svgcuts.com/ to get your svg files! Go ahead, check it out! You won't be disappointed! And then let me know what you think!

Anyhoo....here are a couple of pages. They were done awhile back at my scrappers club. The cardstock, ink and ribbon is Tangerine from SU. Thanks for looking.

Well I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I know I did. We had family which is always nice. I had great intentions of doing alot of scrapbooking over the holidays. Tomorrow is Monday, back to work and I barely got anything done! Ugh! Need to win the lottery, quit work and CRAFT all day long!

Here are a couple of pages I did awhile back. The paper and a few of the punches are Creative Memories. Used SU scallop square and miscellaneous brads. Thanks for looking!

Merry Christmas to all!

Well, this will be my last post until after Christmas. Time to now focus on the food, drinks and family. It's a busy time for all of us. I FINALLY finished my baking (which took me forever because my DH and darling teens kept eating everything before I had a chance to freeze it!) Good to know they taste good!
We are spending Christmas with my in-laws (yes, I am looking forward to it!) and there will be a little toddler running around our house! I can't wait!
So to you all....MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MAY 2010 BRING YOU GOOD WILL AND HAPPINESS.
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!

I did it! I did it! I finally finished all of my Christmas cards. This is the last of them. Isn't he darling?! I so love this stamp and the sentiment "A Merry Little Wish......."for lots of Christmas joy!" I stamped him with brown Stazon and colored with my water pencils. ( A few weeks ago SMOOCH was my new toy...now I'm back to water pencils!) I haven't had much luck coloring with water markers. Oh...I still do occassionally, but I prefer my pencils and chalks. I then used Zig 2-way glue and red and crystal white glitter for the hat and pompom. I wish I had brown flock so I could have done his body, but he looks fine with the water coloring. Thanks for looking!
