Add a little Mojo to your life!

I told you there'd be two posts today!
I can't believe I've done challenges everyday this week and for this challenge I actually made two cards.
Mojo Monday had a sketch that I thought would be simple to do but it really was a struggle but I completed it!



This time I used the cute house from Alota Stamps that you can get at Magnolia-lious. Again i used my Copics and more Green Stack papers.






For this one I used a Lelo stamp from Stampavie and colored her with my Copic's. The sentiment was from Fiskars and the papers are again from the Green Stack.



Sorry for the short commentary but I have to be at a Girl Scout picnic in an hour and I'm running out of time!

Another Sweet Tilda!

I've been doing a challenge everyday this week and today's card comes from the wonderful sketch over at A Spoon Full of Sugar



This is my absolutely favorite Tilda to color but for the life of me I can't remember her name so I can't link to where you can get her! If anyone knows please let me know and I'll add the link. ADDED Thanks Jacque! She is Well Dressed Tilda from the Holiday 2008 collection. Diana at Magnolia-licious told me that she will be ordering Christmas (and Halloween) Tilda's soon so hopefully this one will be available. I masked her and stamped the Watering Can and I think she looks so cute!
I used more papers from the Green Stack and I admit I took a little liberty with the sketch. The sketch called for a swirl in the bottom left and as the paper had swirls I used that. Also I used flowers instead of buttons and the 3 in the top left I layered as they looked better. The sentiment is another $1 spot one from Michaels.



The inside just shows more of the wonderful Green papers.
Things are "busying up" here as the boys go off to Scout camp on Sunday so I'm running around today getting the last stuff on their lists.
Hopefully I'll have time to add more cards this weekend.
Have a happy Friday!

Stampavie dt challenge

I do so love coloring in the Sarah Kay images.
It always takes me back to being a child. In the 70's in England you could collect Sarah Kay stickers in an album. You bought them in packs of 3 (or was it 5?) at the local newsagent (that's a store selling newspapers, magazines, cards and candy to those non-Brits :)) and had a big album that you matched the numbers up with to save them in. All the girls at school collected them too so it was easy to find someone to swap your extras with. I remember filling mine completely and I think my Mum still has it in a box somewhere. So everytime I stamp a SK image it lets me relive a slower, more carefree time in my life.
I loved the sketch for Stampavies 5th challenge and just inked up a stamp and gave it a go.


I used more papers from the wonderful Green Stack ,flowers from the bridal department at Michaels and a sentiment in an epoxy sticker from Cloud 9.


The inside just showcases the wonderful designs on the paper and I made a coordinating envelope.
I hope you like it and didn't mind my short trip down Memory Lane :)

Stormy Tuesday and another new card!

I was woken at 4am this morning with thunder and lightning, nothing unusual for Texas but unwelcome in the middle of the night.
The weather continued to rumble as was still threatening at 7am when we all got up.
By 9am it was "throwing it down", a good English phrase for raining heavily and the temps in the house dropped from 80 to 70 so hurray no AC today!
It seems like a happy coincedence as yesterday I used my Tilda in Spring Rain for the first time and that's what I'm sharing today!


I thought I'd share the inside too. I haven't graduated to added stamped images on the inside yet but I do like to coordinate the inners and outers :)


She was quite hard to color, I just couldn't work out shadows on the stripes so I had to sweep over with the blender and leave it at that.
I did this card using the sketch on the super new blog Magnolia-Licious Highlights
The dp are DCWV from The Green Stack which I absolutely love. The papers are all textured and they are 70% recycled so I can feel good about using them. The flowers are the Fairytale collection from Prima, the ribbon is Offray, the border punch is EK Success and the sentiment another $1 bin one from Michaels.
I hope you all have a great and safe day no matter what your weather brings.
