Mojo Monday contest

You can always rely on Mojo Monday for a brilliant sketch and I make many cards to complete their challenges, even if I dont get round to posting them!

This is the first time however I have completed one of the monthly contests, this was such a nice sketch to work with, I feel like I always say that!

Im getting in early with my friends birthday card, I dont need to post it for another 3 weeks, but I think this layout and the images are perfect for her. I was so happy to finally use some of the Sweet Stack from DCWV and letters from the Honey and Hugs collection. Ive had them for a while but they are so pretty Ive been a bit scared of using them! I hope you like it, Im sure she will :)

Mojo Monday

Im so so happy with the card I made for this weeks Mojo Monday. I did the square one as you can see.
Its one of the cards I made for my Aunt, I think it would be suitable for 12 year old girl, I hope she agrees.

Paper, K&company sparkly sweet and the rest for my growing stash. Buttons Basic Grey.

On a sad note the craft shop in my town is closing in 2 weeks!!!!!!!! As the owners are retiring. So I like many other knitters, sewers and crafters in the area have been keeping them busy building up their supplies before the shop shuts, I have bought some papers, stamps and today I go bows, buttons and flowers. They are so pretty but I will down again many times in the next 2 weeks Im sure.

Mojo Monday

Ive had this card for Mojo Monday almost finished since Tuesday, I needed to wait for my trip to Hobbycraft to buy the tape to finish it off. It was such a FAB sketch I couldnt wait to get started on it.

This is the first card I did and my entry for the challenge.

Card and Ribbon: from Stash, sorry cant remember who made it.

Font: French Script. I think it fits perfectly

Paper: October Afternoon. Ive had this paper for so long now Im so glad Ive finally used it.

This card for my boss, I think she will be suitably impressed. I went to extra effort to make sure I got everything straight and spelt correctly. She is the kind of person that would say "I can see its handmade, youve spelt Christmas wrong"

I loved working with this sketch so much that I have made quite a few more cards based on the initial design, with a few slight tweeks.

Im taking a break from Christmas cards tomorrow I need to do a good luck and birthday card before I finish my Christmas cards. Perhaps I will use the next Mojo Monday Challenge.

Mojo Monday (on a roll)

2 posts in 1 day, Im on a roll now! Im so glad I found a sketch to use these beautiful papers. Here is my entry for this weeks Mojo Monday. First of all the sketch. (love it)

And heres the card. I think its missing something, but Im not sure, I still like it though!

All the papers are from Papermania Home for Christmas set, Ive been longing to use these papers they are just gor-JUS!

Hope you like

Busy hands

Here are a few of the things I have been keeping myself busy with for the past week.

I liked the purple ones so much I made the same in green. I think the lay out was from a sketch from Mojo Monday, but I was too slow in finding my camera so missed my chance to enter, oops! I need to get a move on posting for this weeks challenge or Ill miss it again.

You cant see the text very well, it says Santa Claus is coming to town.

I love these, but they werent for a challenge. The text simply says CHRISTMAS in sparkly letters, we all need a bit of sparkle sometimes.

and finally some beautiful twinkly blue stars, again not for a challenge, but I like these so I thought I would post them. Hope you like them too.
