MOJO 111 - Many Thanks!

Happy Sunday,

I wrote down 4 sketches to work on this weekend, I've completed just one so far....This one is the MOJO Monday Sketch. I used Carolyn's Whimsical Autumn (Gina K Designs) set for this card. Isn't the ribbon gorgeous??? I got a bunch of the pretty stuff in fall colors from my friend Michele in NJ when I went to the east coast this fall. It worked really well with the fall paper from K&Co.

Have a great night!

Snow Time

Happy Friday!

It's really hard to think about snow up here in Wisconsin right now ~ normally everyone would be getting their winter gear and equipment ready for the snowfalls we endure during the winter months, but it's supposed to be in the mid-60's tomorrow so people will be in t-shirts and shorts like it's the middle of summer :)

Anyways, tonight I am sharing a snow-themed card I created for a SNOW swap (of all themes!) The stamps are from a newer set Carolyn King created for Gina K Designs called "Warm Winter Wishes".

Just love this cute snowman holding the heart. I used Prismacolor Markers to colored him in. The red ribbon is from Gina K Designs, white ribbon from Offray.

Have a super night!

Stocking Stuffers

These are kids' stocking stuffers that I made for KelliJo's swap over on SCS. I still love the the stamps in this older SU Sellabration Set for things like this. Each Stocking Stuffer has a pack of gum sandwiched in between two top-note dies. The pattern paper is from Basic Grey. I'm hoping to get some posting done this weekend, as things are starting to settle down around here now that the Regular Wisconsin Badger Football season is winding down (only have one more home game left).

As always, thanks for looking!

PS - how do you like my new blog design? Cute!

Instead of posting a card tonight, I thought I would show you a picture of our State Capitol. I took this tonight from the bottom of State Street. For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our Capitol has been PINK. I just thought it was really pretty. I took a few other pictures of the Capitol in daylight because all the fall colors are so pretty right now. So maybe I will share those later this week.

Color Challenge

I haven't tried a color challenge over on SCS for awhile, so I thought I would try this week's colors. I would never think to put Always Artichoke, Bravo Burgundy, and Cameo Coral together, but it's a really pretty combo once I got it together. The ornament image is from Rupa's "The Magic Of Christmas" set (Gina K Designs). The original image is two ornaments together, so I stamped the image twice on Very Vanilla. After coloring the images with Prisma Color Markers (PM-28 Dark Olive Green & PM-170 Peach), I sponged the panel with Cameo Coral & Always Artichoke. I also sponged the sentiment with the same two colors. The DP is Festive Finery (Retired SU!).

Have a great night!

Gina K Sketch Challenge

Hello!

Here is a card I made for last week's Gina K Sketch Challenge over on StampTV - using Theresa Momber's newest set, "Very Merry Christmas". I colored the image with Prismacolor Markers, and created the lighter shading with a Prisma Colorless Blender Marker.The DP is from Stampin Up! (Merry Moments). I used my SU Rectangle nestabilities, and cut off the top that had scalloped-edges. The buttons are from Basic Grey & the Tafetta Ribbon is SU! (Riding Hood Red).

Thanks for looking!

Winter's coming....

Good Evening ~

Here is a card I worked on this weekend for another SCS Swap I am in. We have to use the new SU InColors. I chose to use Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede, and Rich Razzleberry. I also used a SU! Set I ordered from the Holiday Mini Catalog, called Cold & Cuddly. I masked the beat image over the ice image. The stamped hearts are from the SU! set called Love You Much.

Thanks for looking!
