Mother's Mojo

I love Mother's Day!  I'm not a mom yet, but love celebrating this day.  I'm so thankful to have a wonderful, loving mom and mother in law (aka my other mom).  A shout out to all the moms out there....you are all awesome!!

For this week's Mojo sketch, I made a Mother's Day card.  I used mostly Stampin' Up products.  The inside sentiment is from Imag-e-nation.  I printed the sentiment on card stock and used my Spellbinder's die.

Happy Easter

 Happy Easter everyone!  I made this card for my hubby to go with the Easter goodies I got him.  A quick and simple card to make in matter of minutes!  I love this stamp set from the{stamps} of life. 

 

Details:
I colored the bunny with Copics markers and hand cut the image.  The sign was stamped a second time and adhered with foam tape for dimension.  The eggs were colored with SU markers{in colors}.  I layered the grass using both sides of the design paper for more interest.  The edges were inked with vintage photo{TH}

I {heart} sketch-Feb 2011

Here is this month's i {heart} sketch....

This month's sponsor is Anita Be Stampin ...super cute stamps! So, check it out.  Here's my take on the sketch:

This is an anniversary card for my cousin...it's their first year! Another quick & easy card.  I used Heidi Grace paper {Forever Love Collection: Sentiments & Happily Ever After}, Bazzil cs {lilac}, MS punch {cherish}, Spellbinders die{standard large circle}, black cs

Welcome Baby

Babies are being born all around us the last few months.  This card is for our cousin...they welcomed a baby girl, Jillian earlier this month.  I used SU textured impressions{framed tulip} & a Stamping Bella{babyfellabella}, Spellbinders{curved rectangles}, TH distress ink{milled lavender}.

Jillian M.

Reagan C.

This one's for our friends Martin & Karina....they are blessed with a baby girl, Reagan.  I used a SU stamp set{Welcome Baby} with Spellbinder dies{beaded ovals & fancy tags}.  I inked it with TH distress ink{peeled paint}.

All the images were colored with copics markers.

Spring Tag

So tired of the cold weather...I'm so ready for spring! Here's another swap I joined on Life on the{Scrap}beach.  I have to say I went out of my element here.  First of all, the nest I handmade. I wrapped the different colored sprays & flowers with floral wrap. The design paper is from K&Company{Life's Journey}.  I distressed the edge with my distress it all from Zutter...I luv it!
Now for the bird{punch from Stampin Up}...I first stamped it with SU{music note wheel} and then sprayed with GM{tattered rose}.  Then I used tissue paper for the wing-cut 1/4" strips and then stamped & misted with the music note wheel & tattered rose mist.  Then cut them into small squares. I took the end of a paint brush and twisted a tissue square to the end & adhered it to the wing with hot glue.  This technique I remember doing back in grade school...who knew it would come back to me after all those years! 

 

 

 

After making this tag, I felt like gardening....just waiting for the warm weather to arrive!
