Mojo 140 bird

This is a new Stampin up set ‘Of the Earth’ and I usually can’t seem to use silhouette stamps but I love the bird/leaf combo, the background papers are form a slab called the Cafe Mediterranean.

Simplicity sew

The challenge was to create a faux embellishment so I tried 3 buttons.
the machine is Stampin up, the buttons are from an unlabeled stamp. Too simple?

Another Monday another Mojo entry
This is a birthday for Jesse, and although its a little late, I think he’ll like it.
The stamp is Kort & Godt… the cut is spellbinder and i used a gold button and ribbon I had on hand, the background paper is from scraps., with the gold accents wonder if its rugged enough. the Mojo 139 design follows;

Frogs and flowers

It’s Saturday and I’m back from Denver trying out my new camera for cards.
I’m not sure if this is really in focus, tried several times but couldn’t get it clearer.
the challenge was flowers and i had to use the new pb stamp I bough in Denver,
( one of many on the sale shelf at Hobby Lobby). the frogs are chalked and I added
punched flowers.

Dominoes

Here are some dominoes i did a while ago… the theme this week is anything but a card and since i do cards 99% of the time i have little else. However i did this at a stamp party and saw it done at a stamp convention so i tried it. The domino is stamped with Stazon and then painted with Pearlescent liquid acrylic. The light house and peacock are Stampin up, the little girl is from a big busy stamp I don’t know the name. The reason i can’t do one now is it takes about 48 hours to dry and I still don’t have a camera so if i put a wet domino on my scanner… it will dirty the glass…. this is the first time I’ve blogged these. the bottom left is the back of one and shows it’s a refrigerator magnet. to make them really nice add ribbon to the sides .

Shore tuesday

Here’s another scenic beach view. The birds and clouds and words for the vanilla background are from Stampin up’s ‘Along the shore’ set and the sky and beach colors are bayered…. but not very well, however I’ll keep practicing.
The thanks is cut with spellbinder and the next size was so big I ‘colored’ a white frame. the blue dots are dew drops. here’s the template below.
