Mojo Monday/MOJO313-Happy Birthday


Hi friends, it is circle or square week at the Mojo Monday blog and I created a sweet little circle card. Look at those sweet butterflies, they where made with the raindrops from the new Rain or Shine Verve set, aren't they adorable? Julee shared on one of her cards, she made them using the raindrops and I couldn't wait to do the same..soooo cuuuute! I added stickles and a clear gemstone....eeecccckkk..luv them! I have used the colors from the Dynamic Duos, hope you have a super day...enjoy!

Praying For You


 Playing along with the 10 Minute Craft Dash, I really have a fun time playing along with the stop watch. Of course I have everything laid out first, that is acceptable; I am sure I would not make it under the 10 minutes if it was not...lol. I used the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch. The sentiment is a new Verve set that was released on Friday, you can get yours here.

Mojo Monday/MOJO310-You & ME


Good morning, it is Mojo monday and I am also playing along with this month's Diva Dare. You can join us for the fun and a chance to win FREE Verve here! The challenge is Tic-Tac-Toe, to use grids, x's, o's, or hugs and kisses. I knew I wanted to add a real game of Tic-Tac-Toe to my card; who has not played a fun game of Tic-Tac-Toe with their sweetie? I started with the Verve stamp set Tag Time, luv the little grid tag! Then I hand wrote in the sweet game in the top corner...cuuuute! I reached for the sentiment from the set Making A Statement. I thought it was perfect!  Not only the dh and I are meant to be, but so are x's and o's, hugs and kisses, peanut butter and jelly, peas and carrots......so on and so on....lol. Don't forget to stop by the Mojo Monday blog and check out the mojo makers cards...enjoy!
