Viva La Verve - July Week 3

Hi folks,

I made some time this weekend to play in the craft room - basically, I gave myself a day off from exercising and running errands on Sunday to indulge in a little me time.

I wanted to try to tackle the rest of the July Viva La Verve challenges over at Splitcoaststampers.

Mojo Monday 301


Hi folks,

I'm still working on reducing my stash of designer papers and building my stash of cards so I decided to make four cards using last week's Mojo Monday 301 sketch - it had been sitting printed out already but I hadn't gotten around to making it before the linking up deadline.

Here's the sketch:



and here are the four cards I made with it - two of them are birthday cards using the orientation in the original sketch ....




and two of them with it flipped. One was an anniversary card for my cousin and his wife and the other is a thank you card for my stash.





card details:

  • finished size: 4.25 x 5.5 inches, kraft card stock base
  • patterned papers: Close To My Heart "Bella", distressed on the edges with CTMH Smokey Plum ink
  • stamps: Verve "Birthday To You" Plain Jane, "Birthday Surprise", "Love Story", "Thanks so much" (one of the freebies included with one of my many Verve orders)
  • adhesive gems, flower (inked with CTMH Smokey Plum) and CTMH Amethyst brad from my stash.
  • layout: Mojo Monday 301

Stampotique Designer's Challenge with Reverse Confetti

Hi folks,

dearly beloved and I were invited to celebrate the 40th birthday of one of his former co-workers - so I decided a fun card was in order to mark the occasion - completely with googly eyes!








Considering that dearly beloved and I are both older than the birthday boy....well, the inside sentiment is acceptably funny.
