Birthday Bash with Zoe and Mojo Monday

Hello, Happy Hump~Day!! Today I'm having a Birthday Bash with the new Zoe papers and complements. It's for the challenge this week on Heart 2 Heart Challenges Blog! The papers are so colorful and fun, they are perfect to use for a Birthday celebration. I am also using the sketch from Mojo Monday this week to guide my creation.

I did two versions using the different papers from the packet. You can see how one is a little more masculine and the second can I feel is very versatile for anyone!

I love the triangle paper, triangle embellishments and that coral shimmer tape is so cool!

 

The circular star on this card came directly from the Zoe Complements sticker sheet. Don't you just love the glitter in these triangles!

All of the products I used are available to order now!

 

Be sure to check out Mojo Monday for other ideas using this sketch. Also, stop by Heart 2 Heart Challenges to join in on the Birthday Bash!!

Cutie Pie for Mojo Monday

I've been so busy with Christmas preparations and projects this month that I didn't have a chance to play with the Cutie Pie Stamp of the Month. With a few days remaining for Christmas break I've found some time to create some cupcakes. {Definitely less calories than the other creating/baking I've been doing the last couple of weeks!}

First, I just seasoned all the cupcake stamps and some of the sentiments. I experimented with different ways of coloring them and paper-piecing them. Then it was time to assemble a card using one of my experimental cupcakes. I turned to the sketch on Mojo Monday this morning as inspiration!

A "tall and skinny" card sketch is just perfect for a zero calorie cupcake, don't you think?!

Want to see more of these cute cupcakes? Come back tomorrow and see more creations using this adorable stamp set. Remember its only available for just a couple more days!

A Mojo Thank You

I found another sketch that intrigued me this week. I have not played along with Mojo Monday in some time and I'm still in need of some Thank You cards!

Wherever I'm With You

I love the sentiment on this card! I used the sketch over on Mojo Monday which had lots of different layers to play with. I was able to split up the words in the sentiment with a banner as shown in the sketch. The color combination came from the Paper Players Blog. {CTMH colors are Sky, Smoothie, Crème Brulee and Cocoa}

Pretty Party Card

I mixed in some Kraft cardstock with the beautiful Chantilly papers for this week's Mojo Monday sketch! I really like the sketch this week and thought it would be perfect for the Perfect Fit Frames and a Birthday sentiment. I was going to leave the kraft plain in the background, but then played with some party pennants in white daisy ink. It is just a fun card, sure to bring a smile to a Birthday girl!

So Sorry Little Pup

My card today features the colors on the Paper Players challenge and the Mojo Monday sketch. This was created for a friend that recently said goodbye to her beloved pup!

Sweet Mojo Bird

I had the chance to play with a new stamp and some papers yesterday! The Mojo Monday sketch worked perfectly for an idea I had!

 

 

 

 

Some of the new items are papers from the Claire paper pack and the lovely bird stamp is called Fabulous You. Some old favorites are kraft cardstock and color-ready seam binding inked in sky blue.



Bump in the Night ~ Mojo 262

Creating some spooky greetings this morning and thought I would use the Mojo Monday sketch!

What a fun sketch for Halloween! Well really I love anything lately with pennants in the design!!

All products are Close To My Heart {except noted}. The papers and chipboard compliments are from the Moonlight pack, even the purple swirly banner is from the zip strip on a sheet of cardstock. The scallop punch is Fiskars.

Mojo 259 {Happy Halloween}

Another sketch for you today, brought to you by Mojo Monday! Are you decorating for Halloween yet? I am hoping to pull out my Halloween decor this weekend, it's sort of become tradition to decorate on my Birthday weekend! My house just warms up and becomes more fun with skeletons and pumpkins everywhere.

So using the sketch on Mojo Monday and a mix of CTMH papers I came up with this very traditional black & orange card.

Go Big & Mojo Halloween Card

Today's card combines two challenges. First, I used the sketch over at Mojo Monday, with a slight twist! Second, Heart 2 Heart challenges blog asks us to Go Big! How funny! Last week we went small and I designed some cute 3x3 fall cards. This week our creations must be larger than the standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card. So I went 5x7, which makes a great big space for design and I can still find an envelope to mail it in!

As you can see I just slightly turned the sketch for my card~

I'm super excited for Halloween...and yes we already have a bowl of candy corn in the house. Hope you'll play along with these challenges this week!

Find Your Joy

I am playing along with Mojo Monday sketch and the photo at Inspired By this week. I just had to have this stamp set only available in the La Belle Vie Workshop on the Go. The little bike image is so pretty. Here is my card~

I love this sentiment~

Here is the sketch

More Scraps & Mojo

While I still had my bag of scraps out from the Heart 2 Heart challenge, I decided to give the circle card a try over on Mojo Monday. I completed the Mojo sketch earlier this week with the square design here.

How cute is that little card? I've used that special National Stamping Month stamp again called It's Your Day! Two D-size MyAcrylix stamps for only $5, wow! It's super cute and very versatile. It's coming August 15th, don't miss this one!!

Celebrate Clementine Mojo

Today I'm giving you a sneak peek at one of the new paper collections called Clementine. I must admit that this paper was the first to be added on my "must have" list from the Autumn/Winter Idea Book. I created this square card for the Mojo Monday sketch this week. I love these Kraft cards, they are so versatile. Instead of having the scallop flap on the outside, I've re-purposed it to hold a gift card and bookmark on the inside. The sketch is sort of "convertible", I thought it turned out pretty cool, what do you think?

The front sentiment band slides off the card so you can open it to reveal the gift inside.

The Clementine papers are so pretty and the Cottage flower Assortment is the perfect compliment. What is your favorite paper pack in the new book so far?

Got Mojo?

Ever feel like you lost your crafting mojo? Luckily I always rediscover my mojo with the release of a new Idea Book. I have been crafting like crazy in my room, but wanted to take some time for a challenge and share with you here on my blog. Today I am using the sketch over on Mojo Monday this week along with some new papers and stamps from the Autumn/Winter Idea Book. Check it out.

The cream and pink papers are from the older Lucy paper pack, but the black and cream striped paper are from the new Halloween themed paper kit called Moonlight.

The award ribbon was stamped with one of the My Acrylix stamps that is included in the Cricut Artiste Collection. You can cut the shapes for the award circles as well as the ribbon pennants.
If you look closely in the photo you will see the one I used on the bottom right.

Hip Hip Hooray

I'm playing along with two more of my favorite challenges today. The first is a fabulous sketch at Mojo Monday and the other is a very cool photo on Inspired By!

The longer pennants in the sketch worked perfectly to represent the oars in the inspiration photo. I was also inspired by the distressed colors and just had to include that number 3 in there. Although the irresistible number three chipboard is a rectangular shape, the burst of rays around it gives the illusion of a circular element.

Ahhh! My card, this sketch and the photo all make me really happy! : )

Little Birdie Mojo

It's a round or square sketch challenge on Mojo Monday this week. I chose square and I also chose to use the Stamp of the Month which will only be available for a few more days. I was having so much playing with the bird stamp that I came up with two cards. The first is a festive card for the upcoming 4th of July celebration!

For my second card I varied the sketch just slightly and it has a lighter, summer feel.

Get this stamp set before it's too late and don't forget you only have a few more days of Stampaganza also! You can order online here.
