Mojo Monday 150

This is my Mojo Monday card.  The only reason I chose the paper and DSP was because the sketch called for brads (or that's how I interpreted it anyways), and the only SU! brads I have are Tempting Turquoise.  So, I made an attempt and am totally not happy with the finished product, but oh well.  I'm submitting it anyways.  Here is the link for the Mojo Monday Blog.

We have a new puppy, so I've been working so hard at training him (plus keeping up with the girls) so I didn't have time to try the sketch again.  I may give it another go and substitute the brads for something else.  I hope you like it!

Birthday Whimsical

My aunt had ordered a birthday card and she requested the color to be turquoise.  I made this card for her, but I'm unsure of it because I think there is just way too much turquoise and nothing of any other color.  So, I made a different card and this one I'll just keep for emergencies.  I used Garden Whimsy, Quick and Cute, and All Holidays.  The paper is Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, and Island Oasis DSP.  My ink was Tempting Turquoise. 

Thank You Card

My triplet cousins just graduated from the 8th grade and recieved quite a few graduation gifts.  My aunt asked me to make thank you cards for them to send out.  I absolutely love the Elegant Notes card.  It makes it so easy to decorate the card when the front is already taken care of.  I used Island Oasis DSP behind the cut-out.  My ribbon is Old Olive as is part of the tag.  I also used Very Vanilla for the underside of the card to hide the DSP and for part of the tag.  The ink I used was Rose Red.  I hope you like it!

Mojo Monday 149

So, I have decided to give the sketch challenge a try.  I saw the sketch for Mojo Monday here and got to work.  It was much harder than I expected it to be, but I had a general idea of my color theme so I went from there.  I used Bashful Blue, Soft Suede, Whisper White, and Soft Suede DSP.  The ink is Soft Suede and the stamp sets are Happy Moments and Thank You Kindly.  I hope you like it.

Mom's Birthday Card

This was the card I made from us for my mom.  She loves the summer and the beach so I thought this stamp set would be a perfect theme for her birthday.  I used Soft Suede for my base and Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, and Tempting Turquoise for the mats.  For ink I used Soft Suede, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, and Tempting Turquoise.  My idea was CASE'd (copy and share everything) from Julie Alberda here.  I think she has the cutest cards, ecspecially using this stamp set. Hope you like it!

Melon Mambo Birthday Bliss

This is another card I made for another of my cousin's swim friends.  I love Tempting Turquoise and Melon Mambo so I figured I'd pair the two together and see what I could come up with.  I used some Razzleberry Lemonade DSP and my Boho Blossoms punch.  Hope you like it.

Elegant Eggplant Birthday

My cousin had asked me to make birthday cards for some of her friends on the swim team.  For this particular card she wanted purple and orange.  I cringed at the color combo but thought I'd try it out before I asked her to pick a different combo.  So, I got out my Elegant Eggplant and my Island Oasis DSP and got busy.  I actually LOVE how it turned out.  What a cute combo!! I think I may actually make a couple more of these to have for some of the craft shows I'm going to be participating in.  Hope you like it!
