Crazy Bird Mojo

Reorganizing means you come across some really old stuff you forgot you had... like this vintage paper, a freebie from Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine.


This is my second entry for the July Mojo Monday Sketch Contest
Thought I'd try to increase my chances of winning.
I am also entering:

Sounds like we may have a thunderstorm on its way.  
I'm off to shut and unplug.

Changes + CTMH Card Workshop 9/29/15

The theme this week at the Heart to Heart Challenge is Changes.  When I'm crafting, I am constantly making changes.  The card rarely turns out the way I first envisioned it.  
For instance... 
Yesterday I checked to see what the new colors are for this week's Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge.  They are Honey, Cocoa, and Poppy (I substituted cranberry) - nice fall colors.  I pulled out some Fundamental papers, which I love, and die cut this leaf.


As I was collecting papers and a sentiment to make a card, the remaining negative from the die cut caught my eye.  
Using the required colors, I used the negative and sponged 2 leaves, intending to group them with the die cut.  I also stamped and fussy cut the word "fall" in the 3 colors.  But in the CTMH stamp set with the fall stamp was a  pumpkin stamp that would  fit perfectly on one of these leaves.  I sponged a third leaf in the honey color, inked the pumpkin stamp in cocoa and then rolled the edges in cranberry. 
A bit of embossing and the card was finished.  And the original die cut will eventually find its way onto another card.

This card is entered into the following challenges:
