mojo monday/mojo486-happy day

I have used the Verve flower dies to create the felt flower and leaves....you can use any combo of flower dies to recreate something similar. The happy day card is a journaling card and I have added a fun sentiment sticker too. The background is watercolored and I added twine and a gem. Be sure to check out the mojo makers blogs to see what they have created with this weeks sketch.

words with meaning - self-worth is so vital to your happiness if you don't feel good about YOU, it's hard to feel good about anything else.

mojo monday.mojo479-celebrate the little things

It is mojo monday time again friends and I have played along with the color throwdown challenge...these colors are stunning! I have used the big pretty flower rom the verve set, kindness matters. I used little tidbits of scraps lying on my desk for this card. I watercolor the flower and then added some nuvo to the center. I also used taylored expression felt for the leaves, I luv the felt from taylored expressions...so awesome! Be sure to check out the other mojo makers blogs and see what they created and share some luv!

words with meaning - the greatest prison people live in, is the fear of what other people think.
