Grateful for You/Mojo437/ctd382

I worked on this card yesterday for several hours. Yes I know, buying a Hallmark card would have been easier and less frustrating, but you know how us card makers are. Why buy it when you can make it!

Unfortunately after all that time, I'm not all that impressed with my choice of  patterned papers. Although, the colors are in line with the Color Throwdown challenge and the layout with the MOJO Monday sketch.

I used 3 stamp sets on this card, framelits, an EF, and 3 punches.  I usually don't do that, but I really needed things to come together and I wasn't achieving it with fewer choices. Oh well, it gives some of my poor neglected "stash" some love.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.  Go do something CRAFTY!

Crafty Hugs,
Bernie Bee

Friend Card

Today I am posting a card that I have created using a MOJO338 sketch.

I was in need of a card for a dear friend who has been part of my life for over 56 years. She has been going through some difficult times and I wanted a special card to send along to her.

Oops!
I noticed after I had finished laying down the leaves and flowers, that perhaps I should have added one more set of leaves. Oh well, it will need to stay as is.
*No, I couldn't leave it, so I went back and added the leaves!

So Sorry and MOJO 333

I mentioned the other day that

 I needed to make a Sympathy card.

One of my husbands fellow engineers at work lost both his father-in-law and brother on the same day. Such a sad thing for the family.

Using the MOJO333 sketch made it simple to get my, well, mojo going and hopefully a card that 

will bless them and know we care.

Hello There

I decided to give this sketch from The Paper Players a go this week.

Bits and pieces of this card were sitting on my desk for at least 2 days.

I was trying to determine if I was going to make it "clean" or stepped up.

As you can see, stepped up won!

The color combination of Tangerine Tango 111349, Tempting Turquoise 102067, and Old Olive 100702, was suggested by the SU Color Coach .
