As I was thinking how I would use Mojo Monday Challenge #273, I heard our neighbors in central Pennsylvania were getting snow at the rate of an inch per hour. That made me think "Brrr....it's cold outside". The blue paper with an array of different snowflake patterns is the perfect background. The blue scalloped circle made with Sweet Treats Cricut cartridge flower at 3 1/2".

The sentiment is computer generated then cut out using the 2 1/2" Stampin Up punch.

Someone had given me the Dept.56 icicles which came in a long strip so I cut the desired length needed, glued in place, then adhered the blue paper strip, white ribbon and bow. Snowflake is made with a Martha Steward punch, covered with" icicle" Stickles, let dry completely then attached with a pop dot. 

 

Inside of the card reads   "but thoughts of you warm my heart."

 

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you and yours a very blessed 2013.

 



Christmas Cards

 

 

 

These Christmas cards were designed using Mojo Monday Challenge #272.

I began with a 4x6 card from white cardstock then adhered the patterned paper that measured  1/8 inch less in length and width.  Next, I cut a  solid color rectangle, attached  the Holiday Beads metal charms, ribbon and bow.

These cards were given to my bosses and a co-worker at our office party.

To you and yours, a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

 

 

 

 

 

Holiday Card-Mojo Design #269

When I first chose this patterned paper, I was not sure the pink would work for a Christmas card. I added pink and red rectangles bordered with cream paper to make them stand out more. The green behind these rectangles is the top of the patterned paper.  The poinsettia was fashioned using the McGill Blossom making kit. I edged the leaves with darker colors using copic markers and added gold beads to the center. The sentiment is a 2009 Stampin Up rubber stamp.



Happy Birthday

  MoJo Monday Challenge 268, was ideal template for making this birthday card. I used papers from my scrap bin for the background and circles then added a creative Memories "Enchanted" paper flower and crystal embellishment. Circles cut using Stampin Up 2 1/2", 1 1/4" and 1" punches.
"Happy Birthday" is a gold Starform Outline Sticker.

Be Thankful

 

 As Thanksgiving approaches, I am so thankful for many blessings in my life.

My daughter, two friends and I are in Virginia Beach this weekend for the Sunshine Scrapbook  Retreat. Our scrapbooking room overlooks the ocean and as the waves come ashore, I think of those who lost so much during Hurricane Sandy. Our thoughts and prayers are for them.

For Mojo Monday Challenge 267,  I selected papers in fall colors from a DCWV Fall Scrapbooking kit, added a Creative Memories Reminisce paper flower, embellished with a button, then added the computer generated sentiment. Finishing touch is the ribbon which was part of the above mentioned kit.

 

Seasons Greetings

 

Mojo Monday Challenge #266 was a breeze using scraps of papers and embellishments left over from past years Christmas projects. The scalloped circle made with a Stampin Up punch . After attaching the metal tree to the center of the circle, I adhered to the card using a pop dot. The  Poinsettia is a Recollections dimensional sticker and the sentiment sticker left over from a Christmas Card making kit.

 

 

Season's Greetings

 

MoJo Monday Challenge #265 is the perfect layout for  this Cardinal I colored some months ago. I am a novice at using copic markers but am very pleased with the results. He is a 2005 Stampin Up rubber stamp. Copic markers used were R27 Cadmium Red, G07 Nile Green, and E49 Dark Bark. The Pointsettia is make with the Cricut Joy of the Season cartridge, cutting white on the blackout setting, then several in red and green. I  highlighted the leaves with copic markers, and glued a cluster of gold beads in the center. The sentimenty is computer generated using the AR Berkley font.
