Me?Miss You? / Mojo Monday

I have a very quick post tonight. This card is based on a sketch by MOJO Monday. 

The stars on this card were used as part of the design with a special meaning. My 4 year old grandson, Kempton,  seems to be  into stars right now. I'm  really not sure why.

Since he lives in NC and I live in CA, keeping in touch with him is important. The sentiment from the SU "Happy Happenings" was perfect to let him know how much I missed him.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and are able to do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,
BernieBee

A CARD, a card!

Today I was determined that I was going to create something, anything.

My Studio B is still in a similar state that it was in the last post, but a little worse. I had to open boxes hoping that I would find what I was looking for. I did have most labeled, but not all. I managed to find my stamps and some of my ribbon. My paper was in plain site and so was my ink, cutters and adhesives. I really wanted to use Stampin' Dimensionals and the new Candy Dots on this card, but I never did find what box they were in!

I decided to follow the MOJO Monday 302 sketch. I had thoughts of making it a masculine card, but I'm not sure if it fits that category. What do you think? It's not to frilly and the colors lean towards masculine, but I'm still not confident that I would use it as one.

The photo below is a sad tale. I had completed the card and even the inside. I thought I would add a little extra on the inside, so I punched a small scallop circle with layering circle. Well, forgetting that I had an OPEN ink pad laying near by, I flipped open the top...Well you can see what happened. 

It was back to square one on cutting all the layers out again.

Well, that's about it for today. Tomorrow I'm planning on looking for more 

hard-case pieces to fill in my house, some art and plants.The landscaper is going to stop by with a more reasonable plan for "prettying" up the outside. I never realized how expensive of  a job that is. Every house we have bought had the landscaping in place, so it was kind of a shock.

UPDATE: I did go to IKEA last Saturday and was completely overwhelmed. 

Too much merchandise and too many people. I did go with a list, but came 

home empty handed! I'm really glad I did, though. I have rearranged 

my room several times in my head since then and have chosen 

other pieces then I had originally planned on.

Have a great weekend and try to stay CRAFTY!

An Eclectic Card

Today I am posting a card that I linked to MOJO Monday.  Calling this card Eclectic was due to mixing the graphic paper and Chevron with the the organza ribbon and rhinestones.  I thought it all came together well and I love the Basic Gray paired with the Perfect Plum. Don't you?

What, no cards!

I can't believe I haven't posted a card or anything on my blog since Friday. No, I haven't lost my mojo, I just had some out of state company.

 

My hubby and daughter Danielle in La Jolla,CA

 I loved having my daughter and her husband here and seeing friends from AZ. Living in California and having friends in AZ and 6 of my 7 children on the East Coast, and having them take time to visit is a blessing.

 Bob and Raymond

Today is MOJO Mondays challenge and I hope to get to that soon.

 It always seems to push me creatively. Yesterday I was looking 

over some older Page Sketches that I would love to try this week.

I don't know about you, but when I see a sketch
 I really like, my creative "wheels" really start turning.

To finish out the week, I'll be working on my T.N.T. Thursday tutorial. 

This week will be my last week showcasing the Gate Fold card.

The card for this week is really an interesting design.

So make sure to stop by on Thursday.

Make your Monday great and stay CRAFTY!

Thank God

Today's card is one that I'm linking to MOJO284 Blog and Word Art Wednesday Blog. I originally was going to do a black, white and red combo with this sketch and may still, but the Print Poetry DSP 129312 which is in the Spring catalog, "spoke" to me again and besides it is certainly a Spring looking paper. Appropriate for this time of year. This is just a 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" pack that has 48 sheets of paper: 4 ea. of 12 double-sided designs. This is my fourth card using this pack. 

Can you tell I like designing with it!

MOJO Monday

Today I have finally gotten back to creating after being home from my visit in NC. I decided to get my "mojo" back, I needed to participate in the MOJO Monday blog. Here is what I came up with for this challenge. I just love the So Saffron and Basic Grey combination, don't you? 

It's just so fresh,clean and calming to me.

I chose to do a 5x5 inch square card this time around. The circle ones tend to be a little difficult for me to conceptualize. I am going to try one eventually, but not today!

I had taken this photo with a cleaner back ground and less shadows, but the colors were off. 

The grey looked more blue. The image was stamped twice. 

Once in Lucky Limeade and once in Basic Gray. I also pierced inside the scallop with my

 Paper-Piercing Tool ( #126189).

RECIPE

Card size: 5x5

Paper: So Saffron #105118, Basic Gray #121044, 

           Very Vanilla #101650, Lucky Limeade #122926

Stamp: Thoughts and Prayers #127805, Collage Curios #129102

Sweet Extras Used: Square Lattice Folder #119976, Chevron Folder #127749

 Rhinestone Basic Jewels #119246

and from our NEW  Spring Catalog, Soda Pop Tops #129388

These are becoming one of my favorite little embellishments. Just so cute and really add a little something extra to your project. At $3.95 for 16 in two designs, how can you go wrong 

adding them to your stash!

With the addition of Stampin' Dimensionals, Snail and Glue Dots my card was finished.

Thanks for stopping by and stay CRAFTY!
