Mojo Challenge 335

 
 
After selecting my shades of green I highlighted the edges of the paper with
a green Copic marker. Added a sentiment banner stamped with one
found in a dollar bin at Michael's. The paper flower is from the Creative
Memories Delightful pack. I had this little shamrock in my stash which
is the  perfect finishing touch to this card.

 
Thanks for stopping by and may the luck of the Irish always be with you.

February Card Swap

 
 
Sorry, Followers, I am a bit late posting pictures from the February Card Swap.
I had orders to knit 13 ruffle scarfs which I just finished up last weekend.
 
Anyway, we had a wonderful group of cards to assemble.
 
This lady's card was so colorful as the gray area is glitter paper
then the flowers were cut with her Cricut.

Love the different shape hearts.
 
 
Love these color combinations and we had to stamp
 all the hearts on the white border paper.
This lady is a Stampin Up Consultant and her cards
are always first class.

 
I love the little mouse!

 
This is my card using a floral sentiment stamp form Michael's
then  colored in the flowers and butterfly using Copic markers.
The red hearts made with the Creative Memories heart punch.
 
 
This card is great for any occasion and especially for a male.
The texture on the brown paper was made with the latest embossing plate
from Stampin Up,which give it a leather look.

 
I never heard the lady say how this was cut out but love the design.

 
What a creative idea this was to use the little umbrella,
 folded in half then glued in place. We had the choice
to use a pre-printed sentiment or write in, as I did.
 
Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoyed.

Knitted Ruffle Scarf

I have a new craft to share today.
I finally learned to knit a ruffle scarf that is so popular.
 
 
I had tried to do this several years ago and had trouble
getting the first several rows done. But once I got the hang of it,
 I knitted five in about  a week and am taking
 request from friends and family.
 
 
Each time I complete one, I swear it's my favorite
------until I complete another.
 
I began by casting on five loops from behind, then knit
in each loop for a couple of rows;  add on three
more loops and continue to knit each row until desired length.
Yard is Starbella purchased at A. C. Moore.

Yes, It's been awhile

Sorry Followers, I realize it has been awhile since I posted
 but things got rather busy in November and December.
 
I promise to get back in the swing of things soon.
 
In the meantime here is a little project I did for Granddaughter's
class at Christmas.
 
 
Due to students having so many allergies, our school
system will no longer allow home baked goods or
any types of treats that may trigger allergies. So, I was having a
hard time deciding what to do until I saw the above on Pinterest.
So simple to make . First,  I printed the saying on my computer then stamped
the penguin from the Close To My Heart Wintery Wishes
Hostess Rewards set, Item# C1560. The cello bags came from Michael's and were
the perfect size to hold the card and the chap stick fit snug enough to hold it in place
without having to use tape or glue.
 
I love the saying and these were a great hit with her classmates for this is something all
can use during these cold winter months
 
I wish all a very Happy and Healthy New Year.
