Mojo Sketch Challenge #68

Today I couldn't do the daily challenge at SCS because over Christmas I used all my tacky tape!! Too bad I do not have any stores close to my house--30 minute to town from here--so I had time to do the Mojo Challenge today instead of later in the week. The only problem is we have been without phone or DSL for most of the day. We are back up for the moment so I will give loading this card to my blog a try. I love the sketch challenges that Verve give to us each week. If you want to play along you can find the details here: Mojo Sketch Challenge. I used the Pina Colada Simply Scrappin set. I loved it on my pages that I posted earlier so I thought I would try making a card with it. I love the color combo and these flower die stickers are so cool. I hope you like my creation.

OCC Sketch Challenge

Here is my card for the OCC sketch challenge. Just click on the side bar for Our Creative Corner and you will see the challenge. I love sketch challenges--I think they are my favorite. And it is alway so much fun to see all the different inspirations that come from that one sketch. I used the Top Note die from Stampin'Up! to make my main panel--sponged on some color--stamped my posies (Pocket Silhouettes from Stampin'UP!)--added a ribbon--layered on Green Galore and then unto Pixie Pink that I had run through the CuttleBug--finished it off with a sentiment stamped in Basic Gray that I punched out with my Label Punch--attached with Silver Hodge-Podge Hardware. I love the springy feel this card give even is Spring is seeming like a long way off!!

My favorite things.....

My favorite passed by is standing or sitting by the ocean and just listening to the waves and enjoying the seascape. Why am I telling you this?? Beacause today's challenge from SCS was to make a card that depicts our favorite things. So here you have mine! I used my favorite embellishments--ribbon and brads!! Used my favorite CB folder!! Used some of my favorite colors.

Great Blog Candy found here!!

There is still time to get in on some fantastic blog candy!! Check it out here!! Not only is there a blog give away but I learned something new--you can run chipboard through your Cuttlebug and emboss it.....I would have never thought to do that. It looks great also. Check out this blog--I think you will be inspired!!

Happy New Year!!

Today has been a great 1st day of this New Year!! I spent the day scrapbooking with several friends!! We had a great time and got lots of scraping done!! Here are serveral pages that I made today minus the journaling. I used the Pina Colada Simply Scrappin set. I love these Simply Scrappin sets--they make scrapbooking so easy. These pages are of my husband and I's 19th Anniversary. We spent the weekend on the Skyline Drive at the Skyland Lodge. We enjoyed the drive in our friends Jeep. It was so beautiful. I hope you enjoy seeing what I created today!!

New Year means new growth!!

Good morning on this New Year's Eve day!! I am so excited about the new year that lies ahead!! Here is my card for today's sketch challenge from SCS. I decided since today was New Year's Eve, I would create a card that displays new life and growth. It is my hope and prayer that this new year is one of personal growth for myself and all of you. I desire to growth in my relationships, my spiritual life, and my talents. I look forward learning and growing in 2009! This card respresents that growth: I used Wild Wasabi DP for my bottom panel--stamped the tree in Basic Brown--stamped the leaves in Wild Wasabi and cut them out and used Precision Adhesive from CM to attach them--ran the brown panel through my Cuttlebug with a inked folder--finished it off with more leaves, hardware, and ribbon.

Mojo Sketch Challenge #67

Here are two cards that I made for this weeks Mojo Sketch Challeng #67. I always enjoy these challenges done by Julee from Verve.

Both of these cards were made using the Stampin'Up! Top Note die. I love it!! On the baby card I stamped the foot in Bliss Blue on Whisper white and cut it out, layering it on Bliss Blue DP. I threaded my ribbon through a large star eyelet and knotted it. I layers both pieces of DP on Basic Black. The sentiment is stamped over the Bliss Blue foot in Basic Black. My birthday card is made on Real Red cardstock. The perfume bottles are stamped in Real Red and touched up with a black marker. The single bottle is stamped, covered in Crystal Effects, cut out and layered two times then popped up with a dimensional. My sentiment is stamped in Craft white and finished off with a striped ribbbon. I hope you like these ideas!!
