Mojo 306

Hello peeps! It was an absolutely gorgeous day here on Long Island yesterday. Temps in the 70’s and plenty of sunshine. Days like that make it hard to stay in work all day, but I managed to! What’s going on by you? Only one more day until my favorite day and then off to the weekend! Not sure what I’m going to be doing but I’m thinking I might like a little trip into Manhattan to see my friend Kim. 🙂

Now on to today’s post which is for this week’s Mojo Monday sketch. The lovely Julee Tilman has given us this…

The base of my card is Whisper White Card Stock. The background consists of a piece of Soft Sky on top and some Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper on the lower half. In the center is a Tea Lace Paper Doily with some Tangerine Tango, cut out with the Circles Framelits Dies, that I embossed with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The stamped image is from the Tags 4 You Stamp Set and is stamped in Early Espresso and punched out with the Bracket Label Punch. Behind it is a piece of Whisper White that is stamped with the image from the Truly Grateful Stamp Set in Crushed Curry and backed with a piece of Early Espresso. A flagged piece of Crushed Curry with some Naturals 7/16″ Trim Ribbon goes across the center. I threaded a Naturals Designer Button with Linen Thread and adhered it with a Mini Glue Dot in the center to finish off the card. I’m really liking the fall colors and the Sweater Weather DSP is pretty neat too! Thanks for taking some time out of your day to stop by and see my Mojo Monday Sketch Card for this week’s challenge! I hope you have an enjoyable Thursday!

Mojo 305 & Display Project 10

Howdy peeps! It was another lovely day here on Long Island, not too hot during the day and nice and cool last night. We are supposed to have some rain here and there for the next few days and then back to summer temperatures. Work is crazy busy and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down soon. My friend Danielle is in Florida visiting family and she sent me a picture of a spider yesterday that was as big as her hand. Not a fan of spiders so I told her not to bring it back for me. How is everything going by you, hopefully well!

Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch. This week’s sketch is provided by Julee Tilman….

I got my new Thinlits from the man in brown yesterday and I used some of the elements on today’s card. The base is Real Red Card Stock and the background a piece of Whisper White. Two of the panels have some I Am Me Designer Series Paper, one backed with Calypso Coral and the other with Basic Gray. The middle panel is a piece of So Saffron that I embossed with the Perfect Polkadots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and backed with a piece of Real Red. I adhered a piece of “Vintage” Real Red 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon around the lower half and tied a knot around it. The greeting is from the Circle Card Thinlits Dies and is backed with a piece of Pool Party that I cut out with the Ovals Collection Framelits and pierced the edge with the Occasions Paper-Piercing Pack and Paper-Piercing Tool. All of the pieces are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I really love the elements in the Thinlits and I can’t wait to play with card piece. Thanks for stopping by to see my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge Card. My tenth Display Project is after the supplies. It uses the Quatrefancy DSP and more from the Mosaic Madness Stamp Set. I hope you enjoy your day! 🙂

Mojo 303, My Peeps & Sneak Peek!

Well, my vacation has come to an end. Today is my Monday and after a week away from work I am dreading my inbox! It was definitely an amazing week spent with new friends. What an awesome way to spend a vacation and I can’t wait for next year! Before we get to today’s card here is a picture of Brian & I with the wonderful Charlotte Coombes…

I have spoken to Charlotte on FaceBook for quite a while and I have to say she is just awesomesauce with a big old cherry on top! I love her!!

Today’s post is for this week’s Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge. This week’s sketch is provided by Carole Burrage…

I wanted a rich bright card so I needed some gold! The base is Whisper White Card Stock and the background is a piece of Real Red that I embossed using the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder*. For the strip on the left side I stamped the image from the Snowflake Soiree Stamp Set in Encore Gold Metallic Ink* and then used some Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it to give it a nice shine (the picture doesn’t do it justice). A strip of Brushed Gold Metallic Card Stock is flagged on the bottom and tucked underneath a stamp from the That’s the Ticket Stamp Set that I punched out with the Ticket Duo Builder Punch. The pane in the middle starts off with another piece of Whisper White with a piece of Brushed Gold on top. The tag is from the Pretty Presents Designer Tags* set and I used the 1″ Circle Punch to round the corners of a piece of Real Red for the backdrop to my Joy that is from the A Banner Christmas Stamp Set*. I heat embossed the images in Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and cut them out with my Paper Snips. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere them to the card. I love all of the gold which by the way is very on-trend at the moment. Thank you very much for visiting today to see my Mojo Monday Sketch card for this week’s challenge. I hope you are enjoying the Convention pics and I’ll have some more for you tomorrow. I will also start posting my Display Samples soon. Have a good day! 🙂

Hello and a very happy Wednesday to you! Why such a happy Wednesday? You know… I will be on a plane in a few hours headed out to Salt Lake City for Stampin’ Up! 2013 Be the Difference Convention! Woo hoo! I’m looking forward to meeting a lot of people that I speak to on a regular basis. It’s going to be F U N!

Today’s post – Mojo Monday 302, a sketch from Julee Tilman…

I have used a different color combo today and I’m really liking it! The base of the card is Raspberry Ripple Card Stock. I stamped a piece of Soft Sky with the Snowflake Soiree Stamp Set, that is still available from last years Holiday Catalog, in Soft Sky for the background. Next up is another piece of Raspberry Ripple that I embossed with the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder*. The greeting is from the Christmas Messages Stamp Set* and is stamped in Old Olive and backed with a piece of Soft Sky. Up in the left corner is a stamp from the A Round Array Stamp Set also stamped in Soft Sky and punched out with the 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. I backed it with a piece of Old Olive that I punched out with the 1″ Circle Punch. On the strip of Old Olive across the bottom is one of the Old Olive Simply Styled Embellishments*. The paper clip embellishments are pretty neat and I really do love the colors! Thank you very much for visiting me today to see my Mojo Monday card for this week’s sketch challenge. Have an awesome day and I’ll speak to you tomorrow from Utah!

Mojo 301 & Sneak Peek!

Well that was a quick Monday! I like my Monday’s like that! LOL! It was warm again today but no rain so that’s good. We are supposed to have a chance of thunderstorms here every day for a while, hopefully they will miss like they did today. Poor Mr. Winston still hasn’t recovered from the July 4th bombing. He won’t go outside after dark anymore. Hopefull he will get over it soon. Poor Mr. Winston.

Today’s post – Mojo 301, a sketch from Julee TIlman…

Today’s card has a little sneak peek in it for you. The base of the card is Crumb Cake Card Stock. The first layer is a piece of Cherry Cobbler that I embossed with the Chevron Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. The next layer is a piece of Old Olive and I stamped the greeting from the Morning Meadow Host(ess) Stamp Set in Chocolate Chip. The final layer is a piece of paper from the Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack*. I used the Ovals Framelits Collection to cut out a piece of Chocolate Chip and the image that is also from the Morning Meadow Stamp Set. The flowers are punched out with the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and some Basic Jewels Pearls are in the middles. The large flower, also from the same set, is stamped in Cherry Cobbler and punched out with the Pansy Punch. A Large Pearl is in the center of it. I love when you can use holiday DSP for a non-holiday card! Thank you very much for coming by to see my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card. I appreciate your visit and hope that you enjoy your day!

Mojo 300 & Sneak Peek!

Hello and happy July 4th! It’s a little overcast here this morning but I think they said it’s supposed to clear up later. I have two BBQ’s to go to today and I’m looking forward to seeing friends and having some yummy food! What are all of you up to?

Today I have my post for the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge 300. WOW! 300 sketches, that’s a lot! I have participated in 80 of those 300, that’s a lot too! This week’s sketch is provided by Julee Tilman…

I think I have said it before but I love all of the layers in the Mojo sketches! My card starts off with a base of Baked Brown Sugar Card Stock. I used a piece of the Venetian Romance Designer Series Paper for the first layer of the background and a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe that is flagged on the bottom for the next. The circle of Pistachio Pudding is cut out with the Circles Collection Framelits Dies and embossed with the new Pretty Print Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from the 2013 Holiday Catalog. For the greeting I used the One In a Million Stamp Set, pierced around the edges and backed it with a piece of Baked Brown Sugar. A Subtles Designer Series Button has some Linen Thread threaded through the holes and is adhered to a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe that is also flagged. Some more Crisp Cantaloupe is cut out with the Fashionable Hearts Embosslit and popped up on some Stampin’ Dimensionals. I love the new Pretty Print Embossing Folder, it goes so well with the Venetian Romance DSP paper that I picked! Thanks for coming by to see my Mojo Monday Sketch challenge card for their 300th sketch! Here’s to the next 300! Have a safe and happy 4th! 🙂

Mojo 299

Well now that was a hot and muggy Monday with some thunderstorms thrown in for good measure! It was very soupy here on Long Island today, I guess summer has finally arrived! I’m not complaining, it’s better than cold and rainy any day! My friend Danielle comes back from vacation tomorrow, it will be good to have her back. 🙂

Today’s post – Mojo Monday 299, a sketch by Julee Tilman…

I have to say that I really enjoy the Mojo sketches, they have great layers in them. My card starts with a base of Island Indigo Card Stock. I used a piece of the Soho Subway Designer Series Paper for the background. The flag is Gumball Green, it’s not in the DSP but It sure does look like it is. I punched a piece of Early Espresso out with the 2 1/2″ Circle Punch and embossed it with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Before I adhered the panel to the card I adhered some Gumball Green 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon around the back. The main panel has a background stamped with the Off the Grid Stamp in Island Indigo. For the greeting I used the Label Something Stamp Set and punched them out with the Ticket Duo Builder Punch. The circle greeting is from the Notable Notions Stamp Set and is punched out with the 1″ Circle Punch. Another piece of ribbon is adhered behind it. A fun and not overly complicated card. Thank you for taking a look at my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card for this week. Have a great day! 🙂

Ahh yes people, it’s FRIDAY! My most favorite day of the week! Work is done (soon) and we will be on to the weekend! I will be in Manhattan tomorrow morning and my friend Kim will be coming home with me. Sunday we have adorable little Savannah’s Christening. It’s going to be a very nice weekend! I hope that you all enjoyed the Control Freaks June Blog Tour yesterday. Thank you for all of you comments!

Today’s post – Mojo Monday 298, a sketch by Julee Tilman…

I looked at the sketch and guess what I saw?! For the base of my card I used Very Vanilla Card Stock. The paper is from the Epic Day This and That Designer Series Paper Pack. I think that it’s safe to say that this and the Soho Subway DSP are my favorite from the new catalog. I cut out the flags with the Bitty Banners Framelits Dies and adhered them behind a piece of Crumb Cake. Some Gumball Green 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon is adhered with some Sticky Strip and the bow is my new favorite kind. It’s a little more complicated to make but it looks so nice! The frame is made with some Very Vanilla and the Squares Collection Framelits are used to cut out the middle where another piece of the Epic Day This and That DSP is. The butterflies are cut out with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit and adhered with some Stampin’ Dimensional pieces. For the greeting I used the Really Good Greeting Stamp Set and stamped it in Calypso Coral Ink. I know, my obsession with the picture frames needs to calm down a little but they look so nice and work for so many things. Thank you very much for taking some time to stop by and see my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card for this week. I hope that you have an awesome Friday!! 🙂

Hello there peeps! What’s up?! Not a lot here, just a very rainy Monday yesterday and we are supposed to get a little more today. It has subsided for a bit this morning and the sun is shining. I have a lot of planning to do before I go to Convention which is a little over a month away. I mailed out my Display Stamper projects yesterday, I was happy to have them finished. Time really does move quickly sometimes!

Today’s post – Mojo Monday, a sketch from Julee Tilman…

It’s always funny that sometimes the Designer Series Paper that I think I will like the least turns out to be a favorite once I get to use it. The base of my card today is Island Indigo Card Stock. The pieces of paper in the middle on the back and on the square are from the Venetian Romance Designer Series Paper Pack. The panel on top of that is a piece of Crisp Cantaloupe and I used the Scallop Edge Border Punch in Tangerine Tango for the edges. The flag and circle are from the Lovely Romance Stamp Set. The circle is punched out with the 1 1/4″ Circle Punch and backed by some Soft Suede cut out with the Circles Framelits Dies and a piece of Island Indigo punched out with the 1 3/4″ Scallop Circle Punch. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere it and the greeting, which is from the Label Something Stamp Set and is punched out with the Ticket Duo Builder Punch. I really love the colors and the art deco feel to the Venetian Romance DSP and it works so well with the Lovely Romance Stamps. My sincere thanks to you for stopping by to see my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card. I always appreciate your visits and love to read your comments. Have a fantastic day!

Monday, Monday, back again. How was everyone’s weekend? Mine was pretty good, I went into Manhattan yesterday and had brunch with my friend Kim at the great Mexican Restaurant called Molé. We had breakfast sandwiches that were delicious and they came with fries, who doesn’t love fries, especially seasoned ones! It’s rainy here this morning and is supposed to be all day but it’s still supposed to be in 70’s so not too bad.

Today’s post – Mojo Monday 296, a sketch from Julee Tilman…

I got up a little early this morning and decided to see how early morning creativity worked! The base of my card is Whisper White Card Stock. The background and the strip of paper across the lower half are from the Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper Pack. A strip of Daffodil Delight and a strip of Island Indigo go down the left side. The stamped images are from the Secret Garden Stamp Set, stamped in Basic Gray on Melon Mambo, and cut out with the Secret Garden Framelits Dies. For the greeting I used the A Round Array Stamp Set and stamped it in Night of Navy. The 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch punches out the greeting and I backed it with a piece of Night of Navy punched out with the 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch. Some Brights Designer Buttons (Vintage) Finish off the card on the left. I really like the colors in the Gingham Garden DSP, don’t you? Thanks for coming by to see my Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge card, I appreciate your visit and hope that you have a great day! 🙂
