Mojo Monday and Our Creative Corner

Wow, the weekend has flown by and I wanted to get in some card making time for me. I decided to play along with the Mojo Sketch Challenge and the Our Creative Corner.

When I first looked at the colours at Our Creative Corner I wasn't sure where to start but when I found the Mojo Sketch, the colours seemed to fall into place...at least I hope they did!  Here is my card, lots going on.  I hope you like it!  This sketch really pushed me out of my comfort zone.

Stamping 411-Leaves of a Tree

The summer has flown by and I am sad to say, I didn't get the opportunity to stamp that much!  But now that school is back in and I am working, I am finding more time to stamp which is wonderful!

Stamping 411 has a great sketch this week and I have missed playing their challenges!  So today I decided to play along!  I tried to make the circle work but just couldn't make it work for what I had in mind.  I noticed that some of their DT didn't use the circle either, so I decided to go for it!!!

I used an Emboss Resist technique to create my card and the new Leaves of a Tree stamp that is on the back page of the holiday mini catalogue.  Although this card did not come out as I had imagined, I am so happy I got the chance to play along with the gals at 411.

I am going back to the classroom on Tuesday and one of my major themes is Owls!  So I had Owls on the brain!  I decided to use my Owl Punch...which I absolutely LOVE!!  I need to use it more.  I also used the new Spice Cake Designer Paper and the Woodgrain Background Stamp that I bought because I was SO inspired my Nance Leedy!  She made me get this awesome woodgrain background stamp and I love it!!!

Paper Players Challenge #61-Sketch by Jaydee

Good morning blogging friends!!! Corey went out fishing with a buddy and brought home 3 salmon...yum! Take a look. Too bad the boys were standing in the shadows! LOL! We ate some of the salmon tonight and it was YUMMY! I spent the day at home today, feeling under the weather. After a long bath tonight, I am starting to feel more like myself!

 

This week at the Paper Players it is our last week with our Fall Design Team Lauri Ingram and Sandra Azzopardi.  Both ladies have been exceptional team mates!  I will miss them!  This past month Carrie Gaskin has been our Guest Designer and has done a marvelous job of it too!  Thank you ladies!  Jaydee has come up with an awesome sketch for us to try!!!  I decided to go clean and simple, relying on designer paper and plain ol' stamping...I didn't even colour the image!!!

I used the new Spice Cake Designer Paper and the Always Thankful Stamp set that is coming out on September 1st!  We hope that you will join the Paper Players Challenge this week!  Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations!
