Congratulations Card

Hello everyone! Happy Monday to you all! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! Did anyone do anything to celebrate National Scrapbooking Day on May 1st? I watched the Ustream that Megan from Above Rubies Studio put on! She has lotsa giveaways going on! Make sure to comment on the correct posts by clicking HERE. You have until Tuesday!

Well, on to the Congratulations card...

I had browsed through Mojo Monday's blog, and went with one of their card layouts for this one. I am sorry I don't have the direct link to the layout. I got some patterned paisley like paper from Hobby Lobby (on sale of course!) , and cut it into blocks and layered it on top of some brown recollections card stock, and layered that on top of a navy blue cardstock. I am unsure of the make on that one. I added stickles, chalked the edges, stamped the sentiment and voila! I got the butterfly by stamping it on the patterned paper, cutting it out and putting it on another card stock to make it sturdy. I added stickles to that as well to dress it up. I really like the effect I got! I hope you all did too!

Just a note... (Mojo Monday Challenge)

This card is for the Mojo Monday Challenge #94. I had fun with this card! I really liked all the design teams inspiration, and hope that this card is one of the winners! I think it has that potential! (I am usually not to quick to compliment myself!) I used the #1 cut from Wild Card. I used DCWV and My Big Ideas paper. I had some fabric flowers and flocked brads laying around- so I used that to dress it up. I also used Martha Stewart Ribbon. (That's my fave color! And I'm almost out! :( It was on clearance! ) I also used Moxie buttons and Stickles to dress it up as well. The stamp says- "Just a note to wish you a great day"

Thinking of you card

I think this may be my last card/project for the day. When you are 9 months pregnant and staring at paper most of the day- it gets a bit tiring! This project is the Mojo Monday Challenge. I love following the Mojo Monday Blog. If you get a chance- check it out! They have great ideas to get your mojo flowing! I made this thinking of you card, and really like it. I like the color scheme I have. I used a card from the Wild Card cartridge, stickles, ribbon, and some fabric flowers that I had. I also had some extra cuts from previous cricut cuts that I used in it too. I think I know the perfect person to get this card!
