Mojo 509 Love and mice

Happy Monday. The current Mojo sketch 509 is up on Julee's blog.

Now I will admit when I saw this sketch I was a bit puzzled on what I was going to do. I really wanted to color up some mice lately so I shuffled through my retired sets from Whiff Of Joy and found these darling guys. 

They look so happy don't they? hee hee  The mice are colored with various Copic markers and then die with a simple circle for the sketch. Stamped some of the extras in the set for the panel piece. Look closely at the girl mouse. Gasp!! She is wearing a tank top essentially... She is so modern these days. bahahaha... Just means that I need to bring these out more often to remember what I am coloring. ha! Anyways a little bit of texture to the base panela nd added sparkle to the grapes and wine to finish it off. Voila! 

Here is a look at the Mojo Sketch 509

Mojo 508 Birthday

Happy Friday! Game tonight is another winner moves on, loser season is over. It is so exciting and then at the same time nerve racking. Either way they have had a great season at the end of the game. Hoping for another win though.  ;-)  

I have yet another card done with a Mojo Sketch 508. GASP!!! I know right. Doing pretty good keeping up. Watch now I will be behind. haha  Either way its a goal each week. Grabbed Party Time for the sketch and created another one for the birthday stash. The cake was perfect as I wanted to cut it out and pop it up on the card. 

I like the fun colorful designer papers for the sketch, they were perfect. Not to mention from the scraps bin. yeah!! Cut the layers as the sketch needed added a few sequins and some sparkles to the cake. Voila! Another sketch and birthday card complete. I am feeling pretty good.  :-)

Here is a look at the sketch if you wanted to play along.

Mojo Monday birthday cupcake

Happy Monday! Hopefully you had a wonderful weekend and ready for another week.  :-) I did get some stamp time in this weekend I am happy to say. Need to work on more birthday cards as my stash is empty. EEK!

Played with the new Mojo Monday 507 sketch this weekend. My intent was to create a masculine birthday card using the sketch. I am not sure it turned out quite like I had planned. A birthday card for anyone I guess at this point. HA!  Here is a look at the sketch. 

My papers are from a pack that is long gone for the most part and I don't have the front cover anymore. I liked the blue and browns in the sheets and figured they would be great for the sketch. I stamped the image from Under Glass onto white card stock and colored with various Copic markers. Die cut the circle and then layered the designer paper on the base. A few enamel dots and pearls and sparkle to finish it off. Voila! 

Hellebore journal 2019

Good morning! I hope you had a wonderful week. I bought my new journal for 2019 but had not decorated the front of it yet so I figured I better get on that. I did write in it already without the front cover decorated, figured it couldn't hurt any.  :-)  I do like how this turned out but anything in blue I like. 

Used the Mojo Monday 506 sketch for the layout and got another sketch done, yeah! 

These flowers are from Hellebore and Hyacinth stamp set that are colored with various Copic markers. I also did a dotted or whatever you call it coloring around the image. You can't see the soft pink color but the purples and yellow really show up. Added a die cut border in blue and a few brads and sparkles. Voila!

Up North with the big guy

Happy New Year. We just got back from 10 beautiful days in Hawaii and I was itching to get coloring when we arrived home. Plus I had to get my card done for the first challenge of the Dirty Dozen Christmas challenges of 2019. Woot Woot!! 8 years marks this year and its been super fun. Hope you can join us. Check out the new January 2019 Challenge HERE.

 I did intend to use the Mojo Monday 505 Sketch for this but my Santa was just too fat. ha ha!!! So I just winged it with a little inspiration from Julie's sketch. There is some faux stitching down the left side of the blue panel and some added buttons and twine above the circle. Sparkles is always a fun addition. Voila!

Hopefully I can sift through the pictures to share in a bit from Hawaii, but laundry takes priority. The Christmas decorations will be pretty quick though as we have no tree to take down. I hope your first day of 2019 is AWESOME! This is my 2019 inspiration from Matthew West that I plan to focus on this year...

Mojo503 Sweet Tidings

Good morning. I know I titled this Sweet Tidings and you are looking at this thinking that is not the name of the stamp set. Well I labelled it as that since yesterday we spent the entire day making all the goodies for our friends and will deliver them today. It seems that every weekend is full up with activities of some sort and yesterday was the only time we had to make everything. The boys girlfriends came over for the traditional decorating of the sugar cookies which was super fun. Needless to say I was going to get this card done late last night or not as I am determined this time. 

You ask what am I determined to get done. Well it seems that Julie is starting up her Mojo Monday Sketches again on her blog. I didn't play that often but always wished I had. So here is mine for MOJOMONDAY503 and yes I am behind a few already but I just found out she started them up again. See I even made a label for it so I now HAVE to keep going with them. Hee hee  Anyways...

I used Tweet Tidings stamp that was perfect for a birdie in each circle. My circles are a bit bigger than they should be but it was late and I was super tired. :-)  I have added some sparkle to the snow and a scallop edge to the base of the circles. A few buttons with silver cord through them. Voila!
