Mojo Monday on a Friday

I just loved the Mojo Monday Sketch this week. It was clean and still elegant and it was easy to add the layers. It will be a good to go sketch.

Here is my card for the Mojo Monday Sketch #342.

I used took inspiration from the colors in the boot for my patterned paper. The stamp is a digital stamp from Clear Dollar Stamps. They have changed the website. I just cannot remember the new website. Sentiment is PTI.

The Paper Players Challenge #189 - Tic Tac Toe

Hi Friends, Happy Thursday. The Paper Players Challenge #189 is Tic Tac Toe. I chose the center Vertical Column - Any Punch/Die, patterned paper and Enamel Dots. I keep forgetting that I have these enamel dots, so this was a good way to use it on the card.

Here is my card. I used a Mo Manning Digital Image, colored it with copics. The awesome Dog themed patterned paper is from Queen and Co. Some Dear Lizzy Enamel dots completed the card. I used the label punch from SU to punch out the sentiment.

I kept the design simple and loved how this turned out. :)) Thanks for stopping by.

Pink Scooter Valentine

Hi Friends, The week is almost coming to an end. I will still share my PL pages here but I will try to combine weeks. It will be a bit more photo heavy, but easier for me.

Valentine's day is just around the corner as time flies..So, I wanted to share this Valentine's day card I did with some Digital Scooter image and some old Circle elements that I had.

I kept the card simple with the image taking up the spotlight. I used some bright Pink Gingham paper from PTI and some small paper roses from Michaels. All in all, a super simple card, but I loved all the pink and red happening on the card.

Project Life Week 12

Hello Friends, I am back with Project life week 12 post. Week 12 ---time is running fast eh? Feels so for me. Already we are nearing the end of March. I used mainly Studio Calico March PL kit items for this week's layout. I loved the mix of colors in this kit. I ended up doing mostly green mixed with some oranges. The washi tape in this kit is my most fav ever :))

Here are some closeup's..

It is official. I am in love with the Enamel dots..Flair and then this..I am in so much of trouble. I used a few of SC Digital stamps on a few of the photos. Quite a few labels and of course washi tape. Loved the layout this time and loving the bit of Hybrid Scrapbooking. Thanks to Cathy Z..She is my Guru.

I am linking this up with "The Mom Creative Blog" and of course Kristin's Currently Challenge.

Project Life Week 11

Hello Friends, I am back with my Project Life Week 11 Post. It was a "food" week this time for me. So many pictures of food :)) Oh well. I am trying out new recipes as well.

I have used only Citrus Twist March PL Kit for this entire week's Layout except for a few of my own hand made flair, some Labels and Digi Stamps (from Studio Calico) and a few extra grid cards.

You can find Citrus Twist PL Kits here.

I had to blur out some details. But very happy how this layout turned out. I have used a combination of Red and Oranges along with some grey and blacks. Much Prettier in real life. Next week, I will try photographing by taking out the cards out of the page protectors.

Here are a few close up's,

I am very happy with my PL so far. Enjoying the process, the creativity, the crafting process and of course memory keeping.

I used the Bugaboo Digi stamp for my card today. Printed it out on some PTI Cardstock and colored it with Copics. I love this series of stamps from Bugaboo.
