ColourQ #95

I just love this year's new in colors from Stampin Up!  They screams the tropics...hence the names. Ü  I finally got to use the new colors and cardstock.  I've been hording them to use on the perfect card/project.  This is a card I made for someone's birthday that's coming up real soon....

Everything I've used are from Stampin Up except the lacey circle dies {Spellbinders}.

Hey Everyone!  I'm so excited to share with you this news- I'll be participating in a 23-week journaling class from The Greeting Farm!  I can't wait to get started! Woohoo!!  My very first art journal....anxious to jump right in and let my creativity flow. Ü

Mojo Monday 201

Another Mojo sketch...I needed a quick card for a niece's high school graduation. I also used last week's color challenge from Utah Divas International:

I don't know where I got the idea of the owl, I wish I could give credit where it's due...because it's so cute!

All the supplies are Stampin Up...except the scallop die {Spellbinders} again.  It seems like I have to use Spellbinders in all my projects. I ♥ Spellbinders ! LOL

Heart Journaling - week 1

The Greeting Farm is doing a class on art journaling...for the next 23 weeks!  I am super excited because (1) I am one of the 100+ students participating, (2) I've NEVER art journaled before, and (3) I'm finally going to finish a project from start to finish! Ü  So, stop by each week and see what I've created for the class.
Here's the 2 page spread for week 1 - Spread your wings

I've used a variety of acrylic paints and stamps.  I used Penny Black's Cherry Blossom stamp...which I love!  The butterfly punch is from Martha Stewart.  I wanted to use a TGF stamp, so I chose the set Spotlight.  The sentiment I used on the second page says:

" Just living is not enough

said the butterfly.

One must have sunshine, 

freedom, and a little flower"

I wrote a message to myself-Just living is not enough, learn to spread my wings & take chances. Just be Free.  This was so much fun....I can't wait for the next assignment!

Easel Card

My MIL's birthday is just around the corner and so I wanted to make a special card for her.  I decided to combine two challenges-Mojo Monday & Catered Crop. 

This is a 4 1/4 card using Spellbinder's Scallop die.  I used the largest size from the dies.  I love how it turned out and can't wait to make more easel cards...I'm so hooked!

• Stamps and Stickers – strawberries, sentiment, aliens/monsters, scientists or science subjects
