MojoMonday Challenge #71

Well I'm finally back on firm, un snow covered ground....Thank Goodness. I was visiting my parents this past week in New York and OMG was it COLD....I hadn't realized just how much my blood has thinned in 6 years living in Florida. I don't know if I can ever stand the cold again..BRRRR!!!


While I was at my parent's house along came Julee's weekly MojoMonday sketch challenge. One of my New Year's resolutions was to participate in more online challenges. I really like Julee's sketches. Here is the sketch for this week:



And here is my creation:


I was at my parent's house and wasn't privy to all of the current SU supplies that I have at my fingertips at my house. So I have to admit that some of my items are either not SU products or are not current SU items - Oh I know, GASP !!!


Supplies:
Stamp Sets: Love You Much
Paper: Basic Black CS, So Saffron CS, Whisper White CS, Parisian Summer DP (Retired), Holiday Treasures DP (Retired).
Ink: Black Stazon, So Saffron marker
Accessories: Non-SU ribbon, Three Heart punch

Please feel free to play along too...I'd love to see what you have created too !!!! Keep your eyes out for next weeks MojoMonday sketch.

Love you Much

I really like the Love You Much set...So far for me it seems to have such versatility....I was searching on Splitcoaststampers and came across this layout by Dannie Graves, I believe....Just a bit of tweaking, color changing, and VOILA....

The large heart is embossed with white embossing powder and cut out....The small heart on the 'Love' piece was punched out with the three hearts punch.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Love you Much
Ink: Versamark, Black Stazon, Kiwi Kiss Classic, Old Olive Marker
Paper: Riding Hood Red Cs, Whisper White, CS, Kiwi Kiss, CS, Real Red CS, Bella Rose DP, Washington Apple DP
Accessories: Brads, heat gun, Blender pens

Enjoy !!

Birds of a Feather

Today's project uses the Valentine's Day bundle...So far this is one of my favorite Valentine's projects. It is a case from someone I saw on the SU demo site, but I can't find where I wrote the name down. So, if you know who it was please let me know so I can give them the appropriate credit. I don't know what it is about the card, but i just love it...I'm actually thinking of sending it to my friend in New York instead of putting it away in the samples box.

It is difficult to see in the picture, but I did some little embellishments on the punched hearts on the bottom.

I love the color combination it makes me feel very warm and cuddly.

Supplies:
Stamps: Love you Much
Paper: Close to Cocoa CS, Pirouette Pink CS, Riding Hood Red CS, Whisper White CS
Ink: Close to Cocoa classic, Basic Black Marker, Riding Hood Red classic, Close to Cocoa marker
Accessories: Triple Heart punch, Chocolate Chip Wide Grosgrain ribbon, blender pens

Valentine's Bouquet

Valentine's Day is fast approaching....And I wanted to start my Valentine's day projects thinking outside of the box. There are only so many Heart layout one person can create. So I came up with this little Valentine's Bouquet. This project was SUPER EASY and QUICK....A great project for a co-worker or for your child's teacher. The picture can be a bit deceiving, but the bouquet only stands about 8" tall.

Supplies Used in this project:

Stamp Sets: Happy Heart Day, Loads of Love

Paper: Garden Green CS, Pirouette Pink CS,Regal Rose CS, Rose Red CS, Whisper White Cardstock.

Ink: Black Stazon, Black Stampin Write marker, Regal Rose marker, Rose Red marker, Pretty in Pink marker

Accessories: Regal Rose Grosgrain Ribbon, 2-way Glue Pen, Dazzing Diamonds, Scallop Circle punch, 1" Circle punch, 1 1/4" Circle punch, 1 3/8" Circle punch, Pop-up Glue Dots, sticky strip, dimensionals.

Non-SU Accessories: Small Terra Cotta pot, wooden skewers, florists foam

It can be difficult to see in the picture - but in RL there is dazzling diamonds on each of the circles...The grass was created by trimming very narrow strips of Garden Green CS with the paper trimmer and then I just crumpled them in my hand....This was in lieu of using my Paper crimper since I couldn't find it....

Keep your eyes out for more Valentine's projects coming soon.....I received my Valentine's bundle in the mail yesterday so I'm looking forward to creating some great cards with it...
