Mojo101 - Birthday Cards

Hey there everyone,

Hurray for a roommate who is from the same hometown!!! My roommate was in Tracy visiting her family yesterday so I asked her to do me a favor and stop by my parents house to pick it up, I had no idea she went down there after work, but it worked out and now I can share my work with you all again!!! YEAHHHHHH!!!!

So it's been a while since I've played with a Mojo Monday Sketch so I figured I would give this weeks sketch a try. I saw so many great cards using this sketch that I just couldn't resist!!

I decided to go with a birthday theme because I have a few birthdays coming up in September so what better idea than to start early, right!! So here is what I came up with. I made a feminine and a masculine card, so essentially I made two Mojo Sketch Challenges, boy am I on top of it, lol ;-). It's about time huh, you wouldn't know this because I almost always have a new card posted but I haven't made cards in the past two weeks since I haven't been in Sacramento with my craft supplies. I've been out of it for a while so yesterday was really good for me, I got my mojo running and made some 8 cards, which I will post throughout the week. Enjoy!!!

I did a bunch of challenges over atStampin Out Alzheimer's, so I just wanted to share them with you even though the event is over, so here it is.

This Monday's mojo sketch is doubling as one of the challenges in this week's Stampin' Out Alzheimer's (SOA) event. Don't forget to leave the link to your photo in the Mr. Linky form on this blog. For those of you who wish to participate in the SOA event, all you have to do to be entered in the contest to win some Verve Stamps is also upload your sketch card over on the SOA site with the tag soamojo. There will be a challenge thread located in the Challenges/Announcements tab that will have all the details and the hostess can answer all your questions.

I haven't used these two sweet stamps in a while so I thought they would be the perfect image for this sketch. I made one for a baby boy and one for a baby girl. Enjoy!!!!!

Mojo85 - Fifth Avenue Floral

First Monday of the month means Mojo Monday Contest so I've decided to participate. With mothers day around the corner I need to get some ideas in so what better than to start with a lil mojo.

I figured I would use SU's Fifth Avenue Floral, I can't get enough of it, it is so pretty and so fun to make 3-D, so this time I made the rose 3-D, it's such a great effect. I used the Urban Oasis paper and then I stamped the rose of Baja Breeze with white ink, and you might as why I didn't us the paper with that look, well I like to hoard my paper, I don't like to use it, lol I'm weird what can I say. I have a ton of paper but it's just to pretty to use, I know there are more of us out there lol.



This picture is to show the dimensions, I used 3-D dots to lift up the image for a 3-D effect. I just love the 3-D effect it gives your cards a whole different look, and it makes it fun to play with.

Enjoy and thanks for stopping by and don't forget to scroll down and play along for the Mojo Monday Contest.

Recipe:
Card Size: 4 x 5 1/2
Stamps: SU Fifth Avenue Flora
Ink: SU Baja Breeze, VersaMarker, ColorBox Pigment Ink Frostwhite
Paper: SU Urban Oasis, SU Cardstock Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss
Accessories: Martha Stewart Cornice Edge Punch, Stampendous Embossing Powder "Kaleidoscope", Brads, Ribbon, 3-D Adhesive Dots

Mojo82

Hey everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed your Easter weekend. I know I did except when it came to Easter Dinner at my parents house I became very sick and laid on the couch between running to the bathroom. I and some 20 other people who all attended the same 1st bday party and Easter festivities all came down with a nasty nasty flu bug. It was bad and it hit us all at different time. I've never seen anything like that but it was one nasty but and I hope none of you out there get it, it wasn't fun.

Enough about that, I decided today instead of doing some homework I would make a lil mojo so here is what I came up with. I think it is quite beautiful and exactly what I was thinking in my head, I hope you guys enjoy it as much as do.

The cala lily is popped up with pop dots in three layers to give it a little 3D look.

MOJO81

Hey everyone,

I hope you guys all had a great yesterday. Mine was alright other than the fact that the weather yesterday looked great except for a little breeze so I put on a cute sleeveless top, some jeans and a pair of ankle boots and I headed out the door, and to my surprise during class it began to pour and it pretty much hasn't stopped, so I got a little wet but I guess I didn't mind to much others at school were wearing shorts and flip flops so I think I was better off.

So to my card. I should have really been writing a paper, I did brainstorm a bit, but instead I decided to make a card and leave the paper for writing today since my class was canceled and I have all day to write it. So here it is, I gave Mojo Monday a try and I used Hippity Hop Sophia again. Enjoy and I hope you guys all have a great day!!

Two Challenges in One Card

Sorry that I've been MIA, I had a great Thanksgiving, spent it with family and friends we had a delicious dinner, and the rest of the week I went out with my brother and with friends, so I had a great time. So now I'm back in Sac and we only have one week of school and then it's finals week so I've been studying and playing some last minute catch up, I have two essays due next week, two tests next week and then two finals and then it's vacation time again until the end of January, so during vacation I will have lots and lots of time to play with my cards, which Im really excited about. But for now I bring you this card that I made while taking a break from writing an essay. Enjoy!!

For this card I put two challenges together into one card, just like my title says. I did a TCP Tuesday inspiration challenge and a Mojo Monday challenge together .

A New Baby!!!

One of my cousins just had a baby girl on the 3rd so I decided to make a baby card. I made one for a boy and one for a girl, I could also make a green one and a yellow one as a unisex, incase it's for a baby shower and the mom doesn't want to know the baby's sex. Enjoy!!

Congrats Debbie and Jeremy on the new addition to the family!!!



The paper is DCWV Nana's Nursery baby boy and baby girl and the stamp is "A New Baby" by Stampendous! I used the MOJO47 template from Julee's blog.
