Mojo 200

It is not even the first Monday of the month and Mojo is giving away prizes!! If you love Verve stamps, you better get crackin' and do the #200 sketch challenge.
It's our friends 23rd Anniversay this Saturday and thought.... I better make my card before it's too late and end up buying one. Haaaa!!! I think hubby will set my craft room on fire if I ever do that !
I had fun creating this one!! A tad busy, but I love the color combo and all the distressing. The punch around the page measurement is 5 and 7/16 by 5 and 7/16. I wanted the around the page closer to the edge of my card (5.5 x 5.5)....I just measured one circle and added to 5 X 5 (suggested size for the corner and border punch to match). A bit tricky... but with practice it can be done.

Pixie Cottage Challenge #51

Brrrrr.... cold enough for me! I don't mind the cold.... just no wind. And wind is what we have here in Calgary. No walking for us to school today, big snow drift at the end of our street and I'm sure the path is also covered.

Here's my card for Pixie Challenge... Not sure about the dark pink though, I think it would of been better with a lighter pink.
Items Used:
Cardstock: PTI white, Recollections brown, Bazzill pink and Heidi Grace Forever Love DP
Image: Sarah Kay
Ink: Memento, Copics and Distress Ink Vintage Photo
Embellies: Dollor store mini flowers and hear brads
Tools: Spellbinders oval and scalloped oval; Martha Stewart Sweet Hearts corner/border punch, Christmas branch

Holiday Greetings

Glitter paper that I love! I believe it's Martha Stewart..... I really have to do a better job listing all the items I used when I create a card. The sad part is.... every time I check out a card, the first thing I look for is the recipe. Such double standard of me don't you think?

Happy Mother's Day!
