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.

Wherefore art thou my Mojo?

I was seriously lost.... I started this card Monday. I sat in my craft room for 3 hours Monday night and just stared at my computer (okay... I ended up watching a movie hoping to kick start my mojo) Tuesday morning I cut the circle card.... did the pink border in the afternoon.... stamped the image late afternoon....cut the brown circle in the evening and watched some more movie. Wednesday morning I just sat there drinking my tea.... cut the pink border and attached to the brown circle late Wednesday afternoon.... watched the same movie I watched Monday after I put the girls to bed... Finally decided to put everything together close to midnight. Phew... it's a good thing we are off this week.

I got this idea from Debby to stop your circle card from rolling. It is such a great idea!

And of course a button to complete my card and it's ready for Mojo #184 and Everybody Art Challenge #135.

Mojo Madness

Just some upclose pics from my Friday Mojo Madness.

Simple stampin' and lots of punching!!

Thanks for bloggin' by!

Mojo is back!

Look at me go!! I did 40 cards yesterday when I'm supposedly sick with a cold. I have been taking Cold-FX and been going to bed early so I can go to our Calgals. Of course I had to cancel the day before and then to find out I have all that energy the night of. Over all.... it was good crafting at home cause there's no way I can come up with 2 cards at our Calgals.

This one is my favourite! I used Martha Stewart snowflake punch with PTI stamp.
