Mojo Monday/MOJO352-Happy Day


Hi peeps! Well, I have some splainin to do ...lol....I totally forgot to make my card tall & skinny. I was so mad after I realized it, tall & skinny is my favorite week....grrrrr. I have been working a lot of OT and was not thinking. My card was inspired by the photo from Stampin Royalty. I used the Verve sentiment from the set Be Blessed. I used a cute bloomer flower and tied some bakers twine underneath, added a few gems and my card is complete! Hope you have a super fabulous day....sparkle & shine!

Hello


I have created another card for the darlin sketch over at SCS this week...I luv it! I also used the cool colors from The Color Throwdown...always great colors from those ladies and always amazing inspiration too! I used the Spellbinders Tool 'N One again to clean out the intricate label die I used today. The fun font sentiment is from the Winnie & Walter set called The Big The Bold and The Happy. I added a few gems and a couple of clear Glossy Accents drops....luv! Thanks for stopping by...sparkle & shine!

I used a sweet glittery tag, added a embossed heart die cut using the Lil' Inker Stitched Heart Dies.....swoooon! I added a Basicgrey paper flower and the sweet sentiment from Mama Elephant set called Everyday Greetings. I hope you are inspired...sparkle & shine!

Kindness


I pulled out some of my Spellbinders ornate dies to try my new toy, the Spellbinders Tool 'N One...it works great! It is perfect for getting the paper out of the fancy dies, I also used it to punch out any paper pieces left in the shape. I have used the awesome Neat & Tangled stamp set called Kindness Matters...I luv this set, so inspiring! I also was inspired by the sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments. Thanks for stopping by, hope your Friday is a great start to the weekend...woohoo....sparkle & shine!

Special Blessing


Have you heard about the new challenge? I discovered it a few days ago, Mixed Media Mojo and my fellow teamie Amber is on the team...woohoo! I had to give it a try, I do not have lots of mediums, but not to worry I have a few more coming...teehehehe.  I used White Gesso to prime my two background pieces and then I used Tim Holtz Acrylic paint to cover the black piece and then spritz with some Heidi Swapp white mist. The pink/red piece I used an ink pad to cover it and then stamped the sweet polka dots on the side....swoon. I had fun playing around with different mediums, although I have a lot to learn.....sparkle & shine!
