Mojo Monday on a Saturday

Happy World Card Making Day Friends. In honor of this awesome day, I will be having a few blog posts throughout the day!!!!!

I love Mojo Monday Sketches, but as usual I am always late. This time I managed to create a card and more than that photograph it and blog about it for the Mojo Monday Sketch #261

I used the new PTI Autumn abundance die (released recently) and cut out the image. I then stamped the image from Autumn Abundance stamp set and colored it with copics. I just love this stamp set from PTI.

I also used a doily die cut and some offray ribbon for the card. Here is the mojo monday sketch,

Riley and Co Challenge Time

During our trip to Kansas for the class, I had bought quite a few of the Riley Stamps that I had not yet inked up. So, the challenge this week from Riley and Co blog - to use the color orange in your card was perfect to ink up my new stamps.

The patterned papers are from my stash and the sentiment is from PTI Fabulous frames. I just love this particular image - Daisy Chain Riley. It is so cute...

Cute Smile

I just love this photograph of my friend's daughter and have been wanting to create a layout with it for a while, but just has not happened. But the pagemaps sketch this time was perfect for this picture.

I am also entering this layout for the Lawnscaping Challenge Texture.

I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set called Blissful botanicals (I just love this stamp set) for this layout. I used the long vine image and stamped it repeatedly to create my center pattern paper. I also used the flowers to create some accents on the page and of course the sentiment Smile which was so appopriate.

I created texture on this page by using felt butterflies, the pearl embellishment and also the ribbon on the tag.

Here is the pagemaps sketch,

Got Sketch Class - Sketch #1

It is fun to be participating in Valerie's Got Sketch class again. I just love her sketches. I used the pictures of my friend's daughter and her grandma for the first sketch. Some how these photos were just perfect for this layout. I used the Studio Calico City Lights Kit for this layout. Except the chipboard circle and title, everything else is from the kit.

I loved how this layout turned out. My chevron border is not the best for two reasons, I should have used some contrasting papers and second my angle got messed up. Oh well, another reason to try it again.

Stamp - None
Paper - Studio Calico City of Lights Scrapbook Kit
