Mojo Monday/MOJO339-U R Simply Amazing

It is time for a tall & skinny Mojo Monday sketch, soooo fun to make and even more fun to send. I have used two glittered chipboard letters to be the main focal point of the sentiment.

I hope you join us for the tall & skinny sketch, can't wait to see what you create......sparkle & shine!

Be Amazing

Having a lot of fun with the Cardabilities sketch, I sooo luv their sketches. I have used a Tim Holtz Stencil and the amazing embossing paste...I am having a blast with this super simple and amazing way to embellish! I luv texture and depth, so adding an extra thick layer of paste is my favorite way to show it off.....squeeeeeel. I used a couple of crocheted flowers with enamel dots, a chipboard heart with stickles, and some gemstones. The links are below to what is in my card, click on the image go to a direct link. I fill like creating some more, I think I'll head back to my studio...sparkle & shine!
