Mojolicous

It's so good to be home and be back in my craft room. Was able to do my Mojo sketch, but must say.... with such great difficulty. I wanted to do the circle sketch, but the circle nestie was not big enough for me to design it and kind a cheated a bit. I guess I could of used my Cricut like how I planed it to be....

I had to design the inside as well do make it more sturdy. I usually don't, but I kind like it and might start doing it. We went to a wedding last weekend and made a wedding card, but somehow I can't find the picture. I really like how it turned out, but I guess I'm not gonna be able to show you. Oh well... hope I find it somewhere and not accidentally deleted from the camera.

Pollycraft

I made the Pollycraft Favourite and very happy even though I didn't win the challenge. Maybe next time.... I sure do love their digi stamps.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

Finally!!! I'm able to join the PBS challenge. I thought I have lots of PB stamps... I guess I'm wrong because I was not able to participate with "Feeling Fruity" and "On the Beach" challenge.



At least this time is a sketch challenge and it's a lot easier to follow.

Digi Scrappin'

My first digi scrap!! Still learning though... but very happy with my PSE. Thanks to Shannon for inspiring me to give it a try. So far I'm liking it and I hope I will get better soon and maybe finish my scrapbook that I started 5 years ago.

High Hopes challenge 85

Water is the challenge for this week and I started this one on Tuesday, but just managed to complete the card last night while I was doing the "CALGALS" all by my self!! It was cancelled Friday morning and was very disappointed because we haven't seen each other for 3 months.

Don't know if you can see it... I used glossy accents on the bubbles.

Mojomadness #152

I did my Mojo sketch challenge yesterday, but didn't get a chance to upload last night. This digi image is from Pollycraft and it's the sweetest thing! I enjoyed colouring her and this time I didn't have problem printing...didn't even have to heat set!! I used Neenah paper, which is easier to colour than PTI (not as thick and you don't use that much ink)

And of course I have to enter this card to Pollyworld of craft challenge (Pollycraft #57)

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 81

Monday Morning to you all!! We were gone camping over the weekend and last night while doing laundry I was able to do SSSC. We had fun camping, but the weather was not that great! It was very SUNNY when we were packing though...

I always check Allison's blog for sketch challenge. I luv it cause it's all there with her "inlinkz" and it's easy to choose instead of checking each blog. Thanks, Allison!

Christmas Cards

The sketch lay out is from A spoonful of sugar challenge 116. I was gonna do TCC, but the challenge for the month of August is Purple. I just did four cards with that colour and thought it would be nice to use something else.

I was gonna enter it for ABC Christmas challenge, but it's a tad late. I don't know what I was thinking when I made these.... wonder how much it would cost to mail each one. I might save them to be hand delivered instead.

JUST because...

Tracy gave me this card a couple of days ago and I have forgotten about it till this morning. Thanks Tracy!! Glad your girls enjoyed the show, but you didn't have to get us a gift card! So now I have to Thank You for the gift... Thanks! I'll use it when we go see Eclipse...

High Hope Challenge 84 and LPSC 80

My last purple and green combo!! I've coloured this little guy long time ago and thought I'd do the high hope challenge by using the LP skectch challenge.

Thanks for bloggin' by

Mojo 151

What's with the colour Purple?? I know you're probably getting sick of my colour combo, but it's the only way for me to cut down my scrap file. I always try to make 4 cards and this is my third one, so if you don't like purple.... I'm afraid there's one more post coming your way.

I used Penny Black's Flower Gallery with the sentiment from Verve's Because of you.

FTL 102

When I saw Clean and Simple sketch challenge, I knew I just had to use my "4 up bears" by Stamp it

Here's my take on FTL 102. I really luv how it turned out and thinking of doing the same layout for my TCC Christmas cards (the one that I have fallen off the wagon since Tracy decided to pass it on to someone else) I believe I have 4 months of challenge to catch up with.

I stamped the image 6 times and coloured with copic markers. Cut three bears including the frame or box and then cut the remaining 3 bears and flowers which I heat embossed to give it a shine and glued them on top with dimensionals.

Flower power!! I luv this digi image by Tiffany

I didn't have any problem colouring with my copics this time, but printing using PTI was not fun at all. My PTI paper kept jamming the printer due to the thickness. I was only able to print one sheet and gave up after wasting 3 sheets of PTI. Maybe I need new printer??

Thanks for bloggin' by and hope you're enjoying summer!

Dark Chocolate Bear

I was going for a very dark coco bear, but instead... you can't even see the face of the bear. I'm playing around with water color using distress inks. If I was using my copics, I could of made it lighter. I tried lifting off some of the paint with just a wet brush, but the color turned grayish. Oh well... what can ya do.



Catching up with challenges and this one is for PBSC and The Pixie Cottage.

Child Labor?

She's only 5, but it wouldn't hurt to start them early right?
She was all excited because big sis did dishes this afternoon.

We don't know how long the excitement will last before it's replaced with tears and whining.

Tomorrow I'll show them how to vacuum... LOL! I better slow down or I'll have nothing to do around the house.

Ta daaaa!!

Mojolicious 150

I am back with a card!! We have been camping and crafting was not in my vocabulary at all. I have been in my craft room, but nothing was coming to me.

I really love how Julee did hers and I just focused on her card and Voila!! I came up with this one. It was really hard trying to find my mojo.

Still happy that I was able to create though...

Thanks for bloggin' by!

Did yah miss me?

Koocanusa!! That's where we were for two weeks.
We wake up every morning to this view (it's actually more mid of the day) It was GREAT!! Going to bed late and waking up late.

Weather was great, a little thunder storm one day, then sunshine again.

My girls didn't wanted to come home... They enjoyed the 2 weeks of camping.

It was fun roughin' it, but I'm also glad to be back home.

EONAC 23~ Alter it

I have been busy making bookmarks made out of paperclips. I got the idea from Angie and they are very easy to make.

They are for the teachers, but I think I'm gonna have to make some for me.

Stampavie #100

Here's the other card I made over the weekend. It is our LAST DAY of school today!!!!!!
I'm so excited... I thought my oldest daughter would be upset, but I guess she is looking forward to her last day of school too. Wooooo Hooooo!!

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

It was good night for me last night.... managed to do 3 cards, but two of them are for PBSC.

Like the idea of paper patch, but after I made this one I thought It would of been better if I had layered the paper patch also .

I then made this one too! This time I layered the paper patch and I think it's so much better.

Hope you're enjoying your day and Thanks for bloggin' by!

LOTV 56

I finally made a card!! I have been trying to craft for a couple of days now.... The only thing I accomplished was a more organized craft room and I'm hoping I'll be able to craft again tonight. No Calgals this month.....I invited some of the gals for a play date tonight, but it looks like it will be just me, myself and I.

There's a prize for this week's challenge if you use LOTV stamps, but you can still play along if you don't own any, just no chance of winning the prize. I do like the sketch though...


Thanks for bloggin by!

Can't wait!

It's my youngest daughter's last day of school today and here's what I made for her teachers. I was gonna put 4x4 cards with envelopes inside, but my boxes were smaller and since I waited till the very last minute to do them (last night).... I knew I didn't have enough time to make cards and envelopes that would fit in the box.
I put gift card and cookies instead.

MIA

Sorry for being gone so long! My last post was the 11th and I have been trying to have some me time in my craft room, but no such luck! We went camping (Gooseberry campground) for Father's Day weekend and just been busy catching up. And the fact that, when ever we come back from camping and with all that fresh air.... I'm just too tiered to do anything and all I wanted to do was sleep. Sunday night I went to bed right after the girls 7:30 and didn't get up till 7 the next day.

Hoping I will be able to play tonight and have a card or two to post for you.

But thanks for bloggin' by to see what I have been up to!

Tiffany Doodle challenge 01

New challenge to follow!! Tiffany just started TDC and it's a monthly challenge that comes out every 7th of the month. With a chance to win up to 7 digis of your choice!!!

Here's my take on TDC#01. The digi image is by Tiffany, one of many freebies from her blog.

I had a hard time coloring this digi with my copic markers. The ink from the printer kept smudging and I was only able to dab around it and not directly on the ink. No shadowing at all!!!

I used staples paper and I even heat set before coloring. Guess I'm gonna have to do some research....

Thanks for bloggin' by!

Clean and Simple

Well.... I tried to keep it clean and simple! The frame for my image is busy enough that I couldn't follow the sketch 100%. I went with the string instead and only one button instead of 2.

My take on FTL #93 and Stampavie #98.Thanks for bloggin' by!

Happy Wednesday!

It's actually depressing here in Calgary... It's raining and it's here to stay till Friday. At least it's not SNOWING!!
Was able to play a bit yesterday and here's my Mojoliscious # 142 and PBSC #104

It's my youngest orientation today and she will be in kindergarten in September. She is soooo excited!!!

I'm excited too!!! FREEEEEDOM...... FREEEEDOM..... 2 hours and 43 minutes Monday to Friday may not be freedom to you, but it sure will be for me!

Additional note: I made the flower using my MS corner punch. Scrapowl did a medallion tutorial using MS corner punch. If you're MS fan... you should check out her blog.
