Mojo Monday Sketch 131

The son of  friend's of ours is engaged to be married in July and this card will be sent to the parents who are so proud of this upcoming marriage.  This sketch was a perfect time to come up with a card meant especially for them.

The card base is white, which doesn't show up very well on the white background.  I used the SU Blossoms Abound for the images, the butterfly is SU Beautiful Wings which I cut out and glitzed up with dazzling diamonds.  The white background has been stamped off with Orchid Opulence, but doesn't show in the scan.  I also distressed the ribbon with Orchid Opulence to give it depth.

Thanks for stopping by and remember, Stamp up a Storm, Ink up a Wish and send it on to someone to brighten their day.

Mojo Monday Sketch 130

Missed Mojo Monday by a day or so - but Wednesday is good!  Beautiful Sketch by Julee Tilman, one of my favourite bloggers and stamp designers.  Her style is absolutely beautiful - check it out  here, Amazing cards amazing talent.

I was at a loss as to what to do this week, I've had a cough and I swear that every time I cough brain cells are blown apart.  I sat at the walk-in clinic last week with my son, hence the cold, I'm sure.  There is nothing like sitting in a cubicle waiting room surrounded by unhealthy people to compromise your healthy status.

Enough jabber - here is my card for the sketch.  As you can see, I've reverted back to "monochromatic" Madge.  It is safe and happy place to be.  I embossed the SU Medallion and cut the scalloped circles using a Spellbinders set - also used the negative piece to shadow in some colour for a background.  The butterflies and paper are SU.    The phrase is Verve.

Enjoy, and remember to Stamp up a Storm, Ink up a Wish, and send it on to brighten someone's day.

Here it is Thursday and I'm going to post a card that I made using the Easle fold.  Not the greatest picture as it is not cropped properly (scanning was not an option). I used the SU Autumn Splendor set with a burnished background.

Mojo Monday #111

Today is week number 111 at Mojo Monday. Our first monday of the month my niece and I go to Salmon Arm for our SU Stamper's 10 Group. Our demo is the greatest! We worked with the set called Razzle Dazzle - so when I got home I used some of the paper & techniques that we had used at class. This is what I came up with.

I'm not really happy with my example - but it honestly does look a little better in real life. The image is navy blue glitter and the flowers at the sides of the image are green and blue glitter.  For now I'll have to be happy with this.

MOJO Monday Sketch 108

Missed the boat at Mojo Monday last week:(  and it was a contest week to win a stamp set!  Time just doesn't allow some things to happen. 

MOJO MONDAY SKETCH 108

The good news is that I have an example for this sketch.  Believe me, it looks MUCH prettier IRL.

The black background is a black glossy which I stamped with twinkling H2O's. It is really pretty IRL! The flower is cut out and sprinkled with dazzling diamonds. Very pretty IRL.

This week will be a short week because of the holiday (Thanksgiving for us Canadians). Thursday, I leave for Langley to attend the BC Creative Expo.  I am sooooooooooo excited, because I'm taking 3 of Cathie Allan's classes.  It is enough to make me want to do cartwheels (which would not be pretty).  Last year was so great a friend and I stayed at the Pan Pacific in Vancouver right at the convention centre and just inhaled all the goings on! This year will be different - as I will be going to Abbotsford every night. But it will still be fun. 

Until next Monday - Cio
