Mojo 111

A very quick post to get back in the way of things again.

This week I ordered some new stamps to co-ordinate with the nestabilities Labels 1. The stamps arrived in exceptionally good time but as yet I'm still waiting on my nesties. Decided to have a play anyway and try the Mojo Monday challenge.

Mojo Monday

With the best intentions in the world I rarely seem to get a chance to do the Mojo Monday challenge. In fact I haven't been able to do any challenges lately.

For the first time I have made a card to fit two challenges at once - Mojo109 and - STVCC35.

I set out to do the Mojo 109 in portrait form but at the last minute decided landscape suited me better.

To comply with the colour challenge I had to use blue, green and yellow/gold.

Thanks for looking and for any comments you might care to make.

One Man Went to Mow

This week's scrapbook challenge was to use the lyrics of a song for journaling. Couldn't think of anything I could use for this until these photos of JT were posted. This is more of a rhyme than a song but I think it still works. Jacob loves this wee mower so it's a good record for my cube of photos - another side done.

Cosy Snowman

This card was made for a colour challenge to use red, brown and sand. The stamp is from Just Rite but I only used the centre without the frame. I coloured with Tim Holtz distress inks and added bling to the centre of the snowflakes.

New Challenges

I seem to be behind with my blogging lately and although I've made a few cards I never seem to get them posted. For this reason I've decided to update with this week's challenges for Stamptv and add the others as and when.

Grey, Black and Pink Colour Challenge

I toyed with the idea of what I could do for this colour scheme for most of the week and had in mind to use the CB Hound'stooth embossing folder but as seems to be the way lately time ran out. It was nearly the deadline, I had just about given up taking part this week whenever I remembered some paper I had in just these colours. Believe it or not they were actually in a Christmas collection.

Anyhow I gathered the papers and resorted to one of my tried and tested designs. It never seems to fail. Some bling and a lacy border I was quite happy with the result.

JT and Mother Hen

I don't usually do the scrapbook challenge because it takes me a long time to decide just what I want my page to say. I did think though that this would be a good way to get started again as I haven't scrapbooked in a long time. To date I have always used a 12x12 layout as I find this the easiest. However for today's challenge entry I used 6x6. The reason for this is that I plan to cover a 6x6 cube to display on a coffee table or sideboard. Hopefully the weekly challenges will help me get it finished.

The subject of this cube is a very very special young man who puts a big smile on my face every time his mum sends a photo. He's so precious.

This week was a sketch challenge

Who says friends have to be just like you?

I've got to admit that I wouldn't go as close as Jacob.
