Mojo Monday . . . Scrappin' from My Stash

This week for me was all about surviving the chaos of a construction project in me family room.  I was not supposed to be crafting, but I snuck away to my scrap room and used items from a pile of scraps to make this card for Mojo Monday.  

Here is the sketch . . . 

And here is my design . . . 

After making the creation, I made a huge pile of scraps.  I may steal some time away to create more cards from my scrap stash.  

Swept Off My Feet - SPARKS Challenge

I decided to make some thank you cards to thank some of the folks helping my mom and dad through a tough time down in Florida.  I figured I could either send the cards, or send the blank cards to my mom to use.

And so when I saw the SPARKS Challenge for this week, I decided to play along.  Here is their sketch:

And my design is noted below, and I used that awesome "thanks" die, which is amazing!  The stamp set . . . totally corny, and that's exactly what drew me to it.   

 Supplies Used:  Bazzill cardstock, My Mind's Eye pattern paper, Paper Smooches stamps and dies, Stampin' Up ink, Tim Holtz distress markers, ribbon from my stash. 

Mojo Monday 301

I wanted to play around with this week's Mojo Monday sketch, and while I strugged with my card, I love how it turned out. 

 I had some paper from My Mind's Eye Stella Rose in my stash, and from there I just got creative.  Three items that really made this layout pop:  the green Color Box Chalk Ink, which I used with a Crafter Workshop stencil (from my local LSS, New England Scrapbook Co.) and a distressing tool on my edges.  The colors really are nice together. 

Supplies Used:  Bazzill Cardstock, My Mind's Eye Stella Rose paper and embellishments, Colorbox Ink, Stampin" Up Stamp and Ink, Crafters Workshop Template, Tim Holtz Distress Tool

Fish Out of Water - Paper Smooches Challenge

Photo inspiration was this week's Paper Smooches challenge available at http://www.papersmoochesstamps.com/.  So lately I have been feeling like a fish out of water.  

So along with the photo inspiration, my mood played a part in this creation.

The tag is blank for now until I decide who I will be sending this to.  

Supplies Used:  Bazzill Cardstock, Echo Park paper, Paper Smooches stamp, Stampin' Up Twine, CTMH Ink.
