mojo monday sketch #120

 

Happy Friday! I decided to play along with the mojo monday sketch this week. I am going to keep it short and sweet today so I will post the deets below. I had this image from the everyday button bits set already in my stash of scraps that I wanted to use up so decided to use that as my focal point. The rest of the card just evolved around the image. I curved the sentiment on my block so it would fit the circle image. I used the background basics:diamonds with vintage cream ink on the spring moss paper. 

I am off to finish printing out my new kit "simply amazing" that I just got at house of three...... I'm telling you it is luscious! The papers are awesome!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

indian summer

I bought this lovely pad of basic grey indian summer paper a couple of weeks ago and I can't stop using it. The colors are so rich. I had stamped a bunch of the branches when I was working on the Japan pti challenge a couple of weeks ago so I thought I would try a fallish one.... and it was perfect for this weeks mojo sketch. I inked the leaves with first summer sunrise, more mustard, hibiscus & scarlet jewel .... in that order. When you get to the darker colors just pat a little around the edges ... kind of like the rock n roll technique but make some of the leaves a little darker. I absolutely loved the way it turned out. I wish my picture looked better.... I don't know why when you upload to blogger the picture really losses it's quality...

Thanks for looking and have a great day!!

mojo monday 101

Hi there!!! I stayed up last night and made a total mess of my studio and I had a blast!! I made a couple of cards and have a few half done. My attention kept wandering to one product after another and I couldn't just settle on one thing!! Does any one else have this problem? I think it was just the fact that I had a couple of hours all to myself and I didn't know what to do!!! No interuptions!!! That was a miracle!! I finished this card for this weeks mojo monday. I love Julee's sketches but I don't always have time to do each one. This weeks sketch just talked to me and it came together so quick... even with the stitching!! This was the first time I used the cherry image from the everyday button bits from papertrey ink. Can I say again how much I love this set?!! So many possibilities! On to my card...... I'm going to keep it simple... all the details are at the end of the post.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!!!

mojo monday 98

Happy Friday!!! I am so ready for the weekend.. It has been raining for two days and I am praying it clears up soon!! I am a sunshine kind of girl!! I was able to get a little mojo goin' tho.. I flipped the sketch and used my new favorite stamp set that came in the mail yesterday, everyday button bits from papertrey ink. I love this set!! When I first saw it on release night I thought it was well.. a little.. ummm I don't know what word to use.. so I'll say not me... so I didn't order it and then it sold out. It is one of those sets that had to grow on me and then I couldn't hardly wait to get it!! I have been having a blast!!! Those berry sorbet buttons are my fav of all the colors (at least right now they are... next week it might be another color!! lol) Sorry about the picture.... between the rain and my idiot camera I couldn't take a good picture for nothin'!! It even looks crooked but it's not IRL. I did order a new camera... should be here next week... nothin' fancy... but I went with an olympus this time... we'll see how I like it!!
On to my card.... I used all papertrey ink again...... the image and the sentiment is from the everyday button bits set... I love this set! oh yea I already said that!! I'll just give the details below and spare you all the chit chat!!!
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!!

mojo monday 89

Here is my take for the mojo monday #89 sketch. I got some new papers from collage press and I had to use it. It is from the sweet shoppe line called "YUM" and I definitely think it's "YUM". I was in a raspberry fizz kind of mood and when I saw the yum paper I knew it would be perfect. I stamped my image ( unity stamp co. may KOTM) in raspberry fizz ink on vintage vanilla cardstock (both papertrey ink). I cut mine out using my square nestibilities and sponged the edges lightly with dark chocolate ink. I cut out a square of raspberry fizz cardstock and lightly sponged the edges with dark chocolate and then matted the stamped image onto the raspberry fizz cardstock. I stamped the text style background basics in vintage cream onto a kiwi kiss piece of cardstock and sponged around the edges. I matted the patterned paper and the kiwi kiss together just at the edge and then wrapped a dark chocolate ribbon around. Mat to a vintage cream card. I stamped happy birthday from the around and about sentiment set on to a piece of vintage cream cs stamped with the text image in spring moss.. punch out and then mat on a ripe avacado circle. I made the flower from a cuttlebug flower die (2 layers) roughed it up a bit, added a pearl and adhered it to the center of the flower. For the finishing touch I went over the image with diamond stickles to give it a little sparkle.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!!

mojo monday 79

Happy Saturday !! Here is my first mojo monday sketch ..... I have done quite a few of these sketches but never submitted before... there is a first time for everything, right?! I really wasn't sure how this card was going to turn out but I like it. I used papertrey ink's "life" set (again!!). I really love this set and all the possibilities that it has. I made the exact same card with one of the different images and it gives it a bit of a different look. I don't usually use red.. I am not a red person.. but I really like stampin up's riding hood red. I colored the ivory taffeta ribbon with the riding hood red to try and match the paper and it was perfect!! I stamped the main image with adirondak oregano ink and stamped it three times without re-inking to give it the shadows. I then stamped the tiny flowers in the riding hood red and stamped each one three times without re-inking. The patterned paper is from the new k&company madeline collection (I got mine at emma's). Overall this sketch was really simple for me, it came together real quick... unlike the current cps sketch... well I can't seem to get it. I have been working on it all week and it is not coming together and I really wanted to try... Do you ever do that... just seem to not get it?? Oh well I still have today and you never know something could just pop into my little brain...
anyway on to enjoy my Saturday.... Have a great day and thanks for looking!!!
