Mojo Monday #32


It has been a hectic week... not for any particular reason though....weird huh. I did not do much stamping at all!!
I did manage to do the Mojo challenge. I needed a card for my hubby so I went with a masculine colour palette.

I used Chatterbox patterned cardstock- I actually used both sides- I love this paper- wish I could find more! I also used Stampin Up Kraft and Ivory cardstock. Sentiment and bird is from Verve Visuals Anniversary Birds set. I stamped the bird on ivory scalloped nestability then agaoi on the patterened paper and cut him out.

Ribbon is wide satin from American Crafts and Ink is Palette.

Verve Challenge #2


Verve is holding another challenge- woohoo!!! Go check it out HERE !!

I can't say how much I love these Anniversary Birds- so stinking cute!!!!

For this card I wanted an earthy feel. I used Basic grey Mellow patterned paper and paired it with Bazzill textured cardstock. I stamped the bird in black then stamped him again on patterned paper and cut him out! I chalked the while cardstock lightly with blue chalk.
Sentiment is from Papertrey and brown gingham ribbon is offray.

Getting Scrappy




I love this photo of Lola- she looks so sweet , innocent and peaceful......haha, we all know different right...just kidding!!


What didn't I use in this layout- wow that is the question, a bit of everything you could say!!!
I started with a Base of Patterned paper from Basic Grey Mellow and then I hand cut the flowers which are also from Basic Grey Mellow. The Title is Quickutz and stamps. The flourishes in the corner are from American Crafts, the Daughter rub on is from??? who knows. The primas are from the dollar store and the vines are Quickutz as well. I accented with some dew drops and rubbed Distress Ink all over the flowers.
I am pretty happy with this one.
