MOJO210 - my friend

Hello~Hello

Here's my MOJO Monday Sketch challenge card for the week. Used lots of retured SU! patterned paper. The leave image and sentiment is from Gina K Designs (autumn leaves). I have had this set a long time, always love pulling it out because the leaf images are so beautiful and detailed. I used a corner rounder on the bottom of the card & also some SU! Twine.

Thanks for stopping by today. Happy Fall.....

Z-Fold Card Challenge

Hello~Hello

Quick post today, last week's technique challenge on SCS was a  double z-fold card. I love interesting folds, so I decided to give this one a try. I used mainly SU! supplies on this card, the bird punch is from Martha Stewart.  The sentiment on the outside is from Very Versatile (retired SU!) and on the inside (see below) I used a tree image from KaiserCraft (Hey Birdie Collection).

Thanks for stopping by today

MOJO209 - Trick or Treat!

Hello~Hello

This card was created for MOJO Monday Sketch 209.  I don't have many halloween cards made up, so I need to get busy! :) The sentiment is from Inkadinkado, and I sponged it with pumpkin pie ink. The patterned paper is from Basic Grey - Eeerie Collection and I also used some Basic Grey Brads. The border punch is from Martha Steward (Icicle - but looks kind of halloweenie on it's side if you ask me!) 

Hardly feels like October here, my A/C has been on today - 80+ in south-central Wisconsin, certainly not complaining. :) 

Back to the Brewers game (and Packers later on)......I'm feeling pizza delivery tonight, how about you?? 

Dancing In The Rain

Hello ~ Hello 

Thanks for stopping by today! I got a chance to play with this week's MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge over on SCS already. I used an older MFT set - Rainy Day Friends, patterned paper from My Minds Eye (Lime Twist Collection ~ so bright and cheery) and some Old Olive Ribbon. This sketch was really fun to play with. 

Enjoy your Friday ~ Hugs ~ LJ

Swap Card #3

Hello-Hello

Thanks much for stopping by today ~ I am posting more than usual (good thing?). Just have had more swaps due (and more mojo) lately.

So this is my third spot for Viv's Holidays Swap over on SCS. I used an an adorable set from Raisin Boat Stamps. What never heard of them???? Let me introduce you, then. They are local stamp company outside of Madison Wisconsin. They make the cutest clear cling mount stamps. They do rentals (yes you can rent stamps from them!) but you can purchase the sets as well. The images I used are from Naughty or Nice.  Cutest darn set!

I used September's Sketch You To Try, patterned paper from SU! (all retired) and some SU! Glitter Brads from last year's Holiday Mini Catalog.

Swap Card #2 Thanksgiving

Hello ~ Hello

Thanks for stopping by today! Here is my Thanksgiving card for Viv's Holiday Swap on SCS (which I previously posted about yesterday). I used the same sketch as I did for the Halloween Card, I changed the primary shape from a circle to a label punch from EK Success. The pumpkin image (Unity Stamp Co.) was stamped in Dusty Durango. I used a Chocolate Chip marker for the stump. It's cut out and popped up on dimensionals. The sentiment is from SU!. I used patterned paper from K&CO (Tim Coffey Fall Collection ~ have had it for a few years). The Dusty Durango polka-dot ribbon is from SU!.

Hello Pumpkin...

Hello ~ Hello

Quick post tonight - with one of the cards I created (actually made a 6-pack) for Viv's Holiday card swap on SCS. I have three spots in this swap - Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas for a total of 18 cards that need to be made and sent out within the next 1-2 days :) I have two spots done already so I am on a good pace. This is for my halloween spot. The adorable images are from a*muse (some of my favorites from their wood-mount collection). The striped pattern-paper is from Bo Bunny Press. I love using green in halloween cards. Gable Green was used for the base (I picked up a good sized opened pack of it when my SU! Demo had her SU! Garage Sale).  I think the black gingham ribbon is from May Arts. The sentiment was stamped in black on Only Orange (SU!)

I will share my Thanksgiving spot on my next blog post, I used the same sketch!

Thanks for looking and have a great evening!
