Stampingbella leads to the MOJO

It's time for another MOJO sketch challenge.  Challenge # 303

to be exact.  

I used my cakebella image from Stamping Bella.  I colored

her with pencils and paper pieced her pants.

Then inked the edges with Adirondak's Pitch

Black ink.

All the papers are from a 6x6 paper stack by Prima

called North Country Collection.

I made banners using papers from the

collection.  Tied some black baker's twine around

them and called it done.

Combined Card Challenge Leads to ....

I decided to combine MOJO 302 sketch and 

the inspiration challenge from The Curtain Call

Inspiration Challenge.  I am not sure I am thrilled

with the result but it's what I came up with.

I did not have nautical themed stamps, so I

focused on the purse from the inspiration collage.

I stamped my image on blue cardstock and

paper pieced that onto the image I stamped and

embossed in gold.  I really wanted the purse handle

to look like a chain.

The mesh at the bottom adds texture and I do like

the addition of the gold buckle at the bottom.

The yellow star adds a bit of pop.  All the paper came

from my stash of leftovers.

I used StazOn in black and Ranger's Adirondak in

Jet Black to emboss with.

Another Sketch that brings the MoJO

http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2013/07/mojo-monday-301.html

I decided to try another sketch challenge.  This time

MOJO 301 is the inspiration.  I used my George

Cricut to cut out the ovals.  The stamp is from

Katie & co.  Isn't it cute?  I colored with colored

pencils.  A sizzix die was used for the flowers.

Papers from my stash and some pearl accents

tie it together.  This was fun sketch.  I will 

definitely be using it again.

A Sweet Sketch is Helpful

http://sweetstopsketches.blogspot.com/2013/07/sss218-july-6.html

I was checking out sketch blogs and found a winner

last week.  See the sketch above for my inspiration.

I finally got a bit of time this morning to see what

I could do with this sketch.  I am happy with the 

results.  I used up scrap paper and even got

an old hero arts stamp (the shadow blocks)

inky.  The flowers are from Studio G.

The sentiment is a go to stamp I use all

the time from Stampin' Up!

Hope you enjoy and have a great weekend.

Color Blocking with Papertrey Ink Stamps

This is inspired by a challenge from Splitcoast Stampers,

to use color blocking.  They even have a great tutorial.

All the stamps are Papertrey ink.  They are from the

Life set or Fillable Frames set.  The die is also from 

Papertrey ink.

I used StazOn black for the sentiment and frame.

Village Cream from Papertrey is also used for the

image on the front.  

The paper is from my scrap pile.  I definitely want

to do this again.  It is a great way to use up those 

Scraps.

Gate Card Fold Happiness!

I have been getting a lot of scrapbooking and card making done recently.  

I want to try to share some of this happiness.  First a variation of

a gate card fold I found on Pinintrest. Here is the inspiration:

So, I started out with paper scraps out of my pile.  I had no 

idea where this card might go, but love the results.  

The carriage stamp is from Inkadinkado, stamped

 in StazOn brown, and colored with 

pencils.  On the small inner flap I used Versamark ink 

and a cute stamp by Hero Arts of baby feet. 

 Then for the sentiment I used

StazOn again with a stamp by Stampendous.

I know just who will be receiving this at work soon.

Hope you enjoy and have a great day.
