Mojo 72 on a Scrapbook Page

I actually tried this challenge last night with a card, but wasn't really feelin' any "Mojo." :0) I actually ended up just leaving it and going to bed early. (I even beat my husband, which never happens!) I really need to get my daughter's scrapbook done before she turns 50, (I'm really not that far behind...she's only 5 months~LOL) so I decided to use Mojo's sketch to get me started on the page. I had to add a couple of elements-journaling and the bear. The bear is going to appear throughout the scrapbook.

You're the One That I Want...


Whew! What a busy weekend! I hosted a scrapbook party at my house Friday night and had a really great time with the ladies. Granted, I didn't get a whole lot done, but it was fun! ;)

I made another card using a digi download from The Greeting Farm. I've seen a lot of cute cards out there using their stamps, so I went and checked them out. This couple is adorable!!I searched to see what 50's paper would look like, but I didn't have much success. I didn't really have anything that came close to what I was finding, so I just used what I had.

Un"frog"gettable


I am on a roll today!...Another card and 2 more challenges! Guess I know tomorrow will be spent CLEANING!!!
I took 2 different images from Pink Petticoat and cut them out to put them together. Don't they just look like they're "toad"ally in love?!?! LOL! I used my Spellbinders Nestabilities scalloped square to make the card. Then I embossed the pink background with my Cuttlebug and distressed it with a rose color ink. The image background is also embossed/distressed with the Swiss Dots folder. Added some flowers where I had to cut them off from the girl and then I glazed his heart and add sparkles to his crown.
Challenges Met: Cuttlebug-Distressing, High Hopes-Hearts



I also made a new header for my personal blog today. I thought it turned out pretty festive!

2 Challenges in 1

WOW! I'm on a roll today! What else is there to do when it's snowy? I mean seriously, who wants to clean house?!?! LOL! (That's really what I should be doing since the plans are to have a scrapbook party at my house on Friday)!!!!!
This card is a 2fer1!! It follows sketch saturday and Penny Black's Saturday Challenge.My frame is from Making Memories and I'm pretty sure I've had it for years! Found it on the clearance aisle at Hobby Lobby. I heat embossed the images and then water colored them. The purple brads are from Spare Parts by The Paper Studio. The "Get Well Soon" stamp is from Michael's dollar bin.

Happy Birthday!

How's that for an original title? :)

I know, I know....this stamp is a golden oldie from Stampin' Up, but it's new to me! I love this set (Nice & Easy Notes). There are 8 different stamps and so many possibilities!
I water colored the image and then glazed the watering can. I used Sketches by Tamara-her recipe called for a die, buttons, and ribbon. I loved how this card turned out so CHEERY! Notice the "buttons" on the background? Those were made with an "oops." I used my Fiskars scalloped punch and tried to do both sides, but my paper wasn't big enough. I thought they looked like buttons, so I used it! (Not sure if I could ever make it again.) LOL!I have my die (Sizzix), ribbon (American Crafts?), and button all in the same general area.

You Fill My Life With Color/BLOG CANDY!!!!!



I just love this Penny Black stamp! He looks like he doesn't have a care in the world!!! And, on this snowy winter day, it brings hope of spring! :)
I followed the sketch from Mojo Monday. After heat embossing and water coloring the image, I added some Stickles for a little extra "oomph!" The paper is from Deja Views and it has embellishments in it as well-that's where I got the quote. My little swirly's were made with a die from Sizzix and the ribbon is from American Crafts.
