Mojo Monday #86

I was feeling crafty recently but my mother in law was here all week so I didn't get much done. Isn't that always the way it happens? When you feel crafty, no time and when you've actually got a little, the (and I hate to say it) mojo's gone. ;)

Here's just a little something that I made recently. It's a card based on the Mojo Monday sketch #86. I actually made it the day after the sketch came out AND took the picture but never got around to posting it. Oh well, it's just for fun. This simple card uses the CTMH Daydream paper pack and the new Treetops stamp set. I just love these funky little trees. The middle one is on popdots but the sideways picture I took didn't come out all that great so you're just going to have to trust me. I do have more scrapbook pages to post and will try and get some soon.

Agua Dulce Club layout and cards

This month, the Agua Dulce club decided to do something a little different. Instead of two 2-page layouts, they decided they wanted to do one 2-page layout and a few cards. This is what I came up with. I'm proud to say that I was inspired by many but copied no one!

The layout is Imagine Shadow and calls for two 5x7 photos and two slightly smaller than 4x6 photos.

Just some random cards I made. The first two are standard 4.25 x 5.5 and the last one is 6x6

Tehachapi Club Card - Unforgettable

Here is the card for the Tehachapi Club. It's pretty much cased from Heather Gerard and uses the Unforgettable paper pack, Aspirations and Intrinsic Background stamp sets. There's really not much else to say about this card. But I've got 2 posts in a row now. LOL! Stay tuned tomorrow for the layout.

Tehachapi Club Card - Key to my Heart

Here is the card for my Tehachapi club. It's Originals, Lucky Three and while there was some inspiration from Nancy Brown on the faux dry embossing, the rest is mine. Can you believe that I actually came up with something on my own??? My husband couldn't, the stinker. I'm not sure that I like the striped paper under the sentiment but it was late last night and I didn't want to change it. I used the January Constant Campaign promotion, Key to my Heart. The Tulip circle in the middle of the "flower" is covered with liquid glass for some dimension. The flower is actually 6 of the heart stamps that I cut out and arranged to look like a flower. It's also pop dotted for some depth.

Here's a close up of the faux dry embossing. You stamp the image with White Daisy and then your other color, slightly offset. I think my offset was a little more than slightly, but it's still a nice effect.

More gifts!!!!!!

Whoohoo! 2 days in a row! (I won't tell you my little secret, I discovered how to post date posts, shhhh don't tell). Anyway, I came across these little beauties and had to make some. They're stationary boxes and have a spot for greeting cards, note cards, gift tags, a little address/note book, postage stamp holder and pen holder. In all total, I've made 6 of them. These are for my husband's aunts and maybe a few other people. The cards were inspired by many people and sketches. The Smile card was totally cased from Lisa Stenz. The link to the tutorial can be found here Have fun making these and if you do, link back so I can see them.

Supplies used: Perfect Day Level 2, cocoa ribbon, Treasure Life, Life's Creation, Chocolate alpha (small) and that sentiment stamp that I'm too lazy to look up the name of. :)
