Paradise sketch

Wow!!! check me out.... another card to post. Made this one during the Calgals a couple of weeks ago, but couldn't post till the sketch is out. Mind you... I could of created something while waiting, but lately.... I'm not really itching to craft at all. Thank gawd for the Calgals and able to post a card or two.

Clean and Simple

I actually made a card!!! It was a very productive Calgals last Friday.... considering I planned and had no intention of crafting. I'm surprise I can even SEE after the little show from Allison. But hey.... it was a hoot Allison! I saw a little girl wearing a Hello Kitty rain coat and I thought of you right away..... I don't know.... Hello Kitty doesn't have that "cuteness" to it for some reason....

Not feeling crafty

Finally got something to show.... it has been a month since my last post. I think I'm back.... but then I still have 8 books to read (I guess we will see).

Busy month for birthday parties and I thought my cricut will be perfect for some boy cards. I'm very happy with the result though.

ENOUGH already!!!!

8 and a half inches of snow and still snowing!!! Here are some pics of my backyard....seriously depressing!

I do have some cards to share with you...

Stampin' up

Got this set of stamps last year... I wanted it soooo bad that I'm just using it now. Yup.... it was collecting dust along with the rest of SU stamps. We are doing a Craft Garage Sale and I think my Stampin' Up stamps will be going too.

Masculine cards

Thank God for the Sweet Stop sketches... time is ticking and I have to deliver all 24 cards beforer the 14th. At least all the masculine cards are done and I think I only need 3 more Sympathy cards.

Calgals

Friday night with the Gals was a blast!! For a change... I actually did total of 5 cards!! Of course my images were colored ahead of time and it was just a matter of putting it together. Still..... that is so unusual for me. Must be the Banana bread that Nancy baked!! Did total of 8 masculine cards over the weekend and I think I've done my quota for the year.

A very quick post for you.... I have no time to blog and waited till the very last minute to do my mojo card. A bit of a busy card.... omitted 2 things from the sketch!! I played around with it and there's just no room for it.

Busy card

Here's my take on "A Gem of a Challenge" I didn't follow the sketch 100%...I omitted 2 items and even with that I still find my card busy. I used my Fancy tags 2 for the frame and for some reason... Distress Ink is my bestest friend right now.

Happy Monday

I know, I know.... there's nothing Happy about Mondays! Specially with all the snow we got over the weekend!! I have an order of 24 cards due next week.... lets just say "I'm getting there" nice and slow. I was hoping to get at least half over the weekend, but sadly... I only did total of 2! Mojo didn't want to craft... Mojo wanted to read!!!! I read two books instead.... "Cry no more" and "Mr Perfect" by Linda Howard. Such good books... if you have kid(s) "Cry no more" will definitely make you cry.

Here's one of the card... I used TheSweet Stop Sketch Challenge. I must say... I'm very happy with the result, specially with the colour combo.

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.

With my luck...

I have been wanting to craft for a while now and the only day that's good for me is Friday night and the weekend. Last weekend was the one I have been waiting for cause we have nothing on the go. But sure enough.... Friday after I picked the girls up from school, I felt the sinus headache developing. Yup.... was sick the whole weekend!!! No card to share with you... but some pics of cupcakes that I made for my class.

I used mini marshmallows for the eyes, jelly beans for nose and black sugar pearls for eyeballs and mouth.

I hope I'll be able to craft soon.... now that we have a week of spring/winter break.

Long time no post!

Well.... what can I say.... been really busy with my day home. Can't really craft with a three year old and she has been coming here earlier than usual. I have been reading some books... I think I read about 12 books and I also started taking Cake Decorating at Michael's.

I did craft today though.... that's because I finished all my books. Youngest one is turning 6 next month and thought I'd get her invites done. The girls tried to help, but they fought more than help. Thank God they got bored and left me in peace.

Cricut got a good work out though...

Thanks for bloggin' by and hope you're enjoying your weekend!

Mojo 180

A very quick post! I think the challenge is about to end.

7 Years ago...

I can't believe my oldest one is 7 today!!!! Where did the time go?? I remember it was a leap year that year and I didn't want to give birth on the 29th.... sure enough... she didn't wanted to come out till the 1st.

This card is not for her and I still have a couple of days till her party to make her Birthday card.
I did made her cupcakes for her class though.... pink and green. She's very excited! She said "Thanks Mom they are FANTABULOUS!" ahhhh..... she is growing way too fast for me.
It's a quick post and I don't even have all the info about my card.... it's pretty simple though, not much to tell.

Hello?

Hello Mojo! Sorry for being MIA...afraid my mojo sort of took a break there for a bit. I'm very happy to let you know that I somehow found it.... who knew it will be there waiting for me at the "Calgals" For a change.... I actually finished 3 cards!

It was lovely to see the ladies... did a lot of chit chatting, snacking and a bit of crafting.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Love is everywhere today!! My youngest just came home from school and she got lots of sweets and cards from her classmates. I got my two dozen of roses already from hubby for our Anniversary (8th) today. Ever since he paid $60 for a dozen roses on our 1st year Anniversary, I told him to get my flowers before or after if the price is gonna be like that. I got them on Friday.

Onto my card.... Just something cute and girly! And yes... I used my cricut! I know it's sad that I hardly ever pay any attention to it. Maybe I should just sell it like Nancy did with hers. Hmmmm.... and maybe not!

Ahhhh.... I wasn't sure if I'll have time to play with this week's challenge. I finished this one last night, when all I wanted to do was to go to bed when my girls went to bed at 8:30 pm. Ever since I started my day home in January, I usually have no energy to play at night and have to wait till the weekend to play. And this weekend is a busy one... company over for the weekend and Birthday parties for the girls.

I'm very happy how this one turned out! Lots of distressing.....

That's right!!! Somewhat Clean, but definitely NOT simple!! I combined Clean and Simple sketch with Scrapbooker Paradise Challenge~~Green, Yellow(Gold) and a touch of Burgandy. Not sure about that Colour combo though....The yellow and Burgandy is OK, but with Green.... Naaah! Maybe If I had used a darker Green.... Tooo Laaate!

Friends to the end

Mo's challenge this week is LOVE~Buttons, Lace and Bows and of course using her digi image. I used Pixie Cottage Sketch with buttons and then Spoonfull of Sugar~ Red, Pink and Orange.
