Mojo Monday #176

Ok, this is my take on todays Mojo Monday Sketch, http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com/. I wanted to do something totally different than your normal hearts, flowers and such. I made this get well soon card for my husbands aunt, who is going through some tough health issues right now, but also wanted to make it cute and fun! I used my large scalloped nestibilities circle and make it into an easle card. I used tissue pieces to make the swirl around the front of my card. I paper pieced the dog with my CM circle patterns. Inked around all the edges to make the dog some dimention and raised his nose and eyelids with popdots. Hope you like!! I used SU! night of navy, always artichoke, soft suede and crumb cake paper colors.

SSSC 102 and CCCC Act 67

Happy Lazy Sunday! Don't know about you guys, but I plan on doing nothing today, but making card creations and finishing up our D.C. trip scrapbook pages (well I do need to finish dusting, sweeping and mopping the floors sometime today, but that stuff can wait until later-no fun in that!) I am just loving my SU! Just Believe set and wanted to do another card using this set. I used two challenges for this one, http://www.kgiron.blogspot.com/, Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge and http://www.stampinwithstacey.blogspot.com/, Curtain Call Color Challenge. My favorite two Sunday challenges!!

SU! paper colors: wwhite, choc. chip, almost amethyst and cajun craze
SU! ink colors: choc. chip, perfect plum and old olive
misc. items: CM circle pattern, SU! label punch and SU! lattic emboss folder

Mojo Monday #175 and Diva Coffee Break Designs Color Challenge #212

Ok, I am way behind this week, I missed out on two challenges and we just can't have that. This is my creation for http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com/ and http://www.divacoffeebreakdesigns.blogspot.com/. Also take a look at my wonderful designed watermark that I got from Karen Giron at http://www.kgiron.blogspot.com/ (another wonderful weekely challenge you should check out). Thanks Karen so much, I love it and has been working out great! I used the sketch layout from Mojo and the color scheme from Diva Coffee Break. The two went well together I think.

I used SU! melon mambo, old oliver, peach parfait and wwhite in paper, bermuda bay, black and old oliver ink and Just Believe stamp set.
