Mojo #111

Well hello all and happy Wednesday to you. I have had SO little time to be creative lately, but I did manage a little time in my spot today. I decided to do a Mojo card as I really loved the sketch. I also went against my ‘blue’ streak lately and went ‘green’.  I treated myself to some TGF stamps and papers the other day and I just LOVE this one. With a 13 yr old daughter these Miss Anya’s really are a ‘have to own’ set. I think I may give this one to her for Christmas. Oh, and the gray in the card really is glittery IRL.

Supplies: White Daisy CS CTMH, DP The Greeting Farm, CTMH December Word Puzzle CTMH, Miss Anya Rain, Snow, Shine SS TGF, Topiary Ink CTMH, Steep and Deep SS CTMH, Clear Sparkles (colored with Copics) CTMH, Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch , Copic Markers,Sakura Stardust glitter pen, Spellbinders Impressibilities, 3M Foam Tape

And here is a little card I played around with while hanging out with my bestest friend …

This is SO simple and is just stamps and CS. I was originally inspired by Hayley’s beautiful card HERE and ended up with this. You know me…loving the simple :-)

Supplies: White Daisy CS CTMH, Treasure Life SS CTMH, Serendipity SS CTMH, Hydrangea, all inks CTMH.

I hope  everyone is having a great week and you are all staying safe and well. We are doing well here and I have to say a MAJOR advantage of home schooling has to be the LACK OF GERMS.  I just have to share another picture before I go..these are my African Violets…and they  keep flowering and flowering….but what I love most about them is their sparkle…sooo pretty.

Have a wonderful night…

Enjoy!

Two Fall Cards for You..

I just LOVE this stamp set so much! It has really crisp, clean, thin lines that lend themselves beautifully to coloring. Also you can mix and match the candle and pumpkin with a variety of tops and bases…just awesome.  I got this from I {heart} papers , it is Happy Harvest by Petal Press. Petal Press is Tracy Schulz’s new line of stamps. I have the Christmas one on my Wish list!!!! It is my birthday Friday so maybe I can get it then.

Supplies: Cardstock CTMH all colors, ribbon CTMH, colored pencils CTMH, odorless mineral spirits, Versafine black ink, Chocolate ink CTMH, Happy Harvest SS Petal Press.

I mentioned that it is my birthday Friday…it is also my eldest DD’s birthday…she was born on my 31st birthday and she will be 13 on Friday…yes do the math…I am OLD. It is now her birthday and not mine…not that I mind LOL.

I had to laugh to myself  when I read Alanna’s comment yesterday that she enjoyed looking in my drawers…in the UK drawers are another name for underwear. It just cracked me up.

On another note here is a little rosebud my Mom knitted me while she was here…I just LOVE it!

Have a great day

Enjoy!

Fall Card

I had a moment to get into my space tonight and I was itching to use one of  the $1 wooden stamps I found in Michaels dollar section. I also wanted to use my new SS from The Petal Press from I {heart} Papers…but I ran out of time…so I will have to finish that one up tomorrow. I was inspired by Alanna (with this card), to get this in as many challenges as possible ha ha, so here they are…

Flowers and a Little Card For You…..

OK so you know all those little bitty pieces that fall out of your various punches….I tried to use them in this card. Really I was just playing around. I had seen Mere from Mere’s Lair emboss kraft CS on her blog with this card and I thought it looked really great. So I ran a bunch of kraft through my embossing folders and started playing with them. This card is 4x4 size. The little corner doohickeys  were what was left from messing with a Fiskars corner punch…The little white flowers are the leftovers of another Fiskars punch that punches borders, ovals and circles..it also has these cute little ivy leaf leftovers too. The kraft in the middle is embossed with a cuttlebug folder but it doesn’t show up well in the picture. You need a steady hand and tweezers to work with these little bits of paper LOL..and putting bitty brads through the middle of the flowers was…let’s just say…more than frustrating.I think it actually looks better IRL.

Supplies: CTMH white daisy CS, kraft CS LSS, sentiment CTMH, Bamboo ink CTMH, Bitty brads CTMH.

I got a macro lens for my little 5 mp Kodak D740 camera and here are some cool flower pics I took with it….Very hard to do on a breezy day. Thanks Beth for the inspiration and for enabling me :-)

Hope you are all having a wonderful Tuesday..and thanks for all the lovely comments you left me about having to work this weekend.

Enjoy!

Test Post with Windows Live Writer..

Just trying out my recently downloaded Live Writer…Thanks Jeanne!

This is one of the last tulips still blooming in my yard..and of course the Dicentra!! or bleeding heart. The flowers on this are so fascinating.

I like this program but I can’t figure out how to write on my photos.

Enjoy!
