Music Good Job Card

Hello! This year I'm only making cards with a purpose. Yesterday I mailed off 16 Valentine's Day Cards for the Cards From the Heart Card Drive. Last night I made this Music Good Job Card for my niece who performed in a choir concert last Friday. It feels good to make cards you know someone will enjoy.

To create this Music Good Job Card I've used a sketch from The Paper Players Challenge. The sketch was perfect to fit the larger Good Job sentiment by Stampology into a circle. I used a stitched circle die by My Favorite Things along with my Big Shot. The You Rock sentiment was created using the Crazy About You stamp set by Stampin' Up! I used the color red for my niece's school colors. The red patterned papers are by Authentique and the music note paper is from The Paper Studio. For some sparkle and detail three gold sequins were added and that's it!

This Music Good Job Card is entered into the following challenges:

• The Paper Players: Sketch
• Use Your Stuff: Sequins or Glitter
• Crafting From The Heart: Anything Goes

A lot of my time lately has been spent sewing! This Peanuts Blanket is my latest project and I've made baby burp cloths to match. 

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!

U Rock Card

It was time to use more zebra patterned paper and the Mojo Monday challenge was the perfect place to use it.  The challenge today was either a round or square card.  Until today I had never made either.  So, I chose the square and made mine 5" x 5".  My nieces were the inspiration for my card.  They participate in a lot of activities during the school year and this card will be a fun encouragement card.  Thanks for stopping by my blog and have a happy and crafty day!
