Mojo 73

I missed the Mojo Challenge last week, it was a really good sketch too. Well lets be honest -- all of Julee's sketches are fantastic, I think she is one of the best out there =). I tweaked the sketch a little by doing a vertical card instead of a horizontal one, I hope that is OK. This picture seems a little dark -- Sorry.


I used my Lady Jane again, she is from Rubber Romance. I also used my new DP from Basic Grey called Sultry. I am lovin' this DP, it is so "springy". I colored her in with my Sharpie & Bic Markers.

Stamps: Jane
Paper: Pink Passion, PT White, Sultry DP
Inks: Staz on Black, Pink Passion
Extras: Sharpie & Bic Markers, Rose grosgrain ribbon, 1/8" circle punch, dimensionals, Flower brads, metal dots, Stickles

Simple Birthday

Meet Jane. She doesn't have a trendy name, but I think she is a very trendy lady. She is a Rubber Romance Stamp. I colored her in with my Sharpies (surprise surprise). The DP is from Basic Grey, it is called Sultry


Several ladies let me know that BiC has some great permanent markers. So of course I had to run out to Staples and buy the 36 pack. Now I have approximately 60 markers. The best thing is that BIC has the color written on the marker, Sharpie doesn't. Oops, I just noticed I forgot to color her earring -- I am off to fix that.

Stamps: Jane Paper: Pink Passion, Old Olive, PT White, Sultry Inks: Staz On Black Extras: Sharpie Markers, stickles, Pink metal dots, dimensionals

Tracie's Birthday

Last Monday was my sister's birthday. I won't mention the number -- she is sensitive about her age.

This is the card that I created for her. The boys and I bought her a Sephora Gift card, and these colors matched it perfectly. I saw a card similar to this on SCS over the summer, and saved a picture so I could do this for Tracie's birthday. Then I saw this card by Lynn Put, and knew I needed to get busy. I love this stamp for her, she is such a trendy lady.

This is a Rubber Romance stamp. The best part of this stamp is that each time you purchase this stamp there is a donation made to Breast Cancer Research.

Stamps: Jane, Bella Toile
Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White, Basic Grey, Real Red
Inks: Basic Black, Craft White
Extras: White embossing powder, heat gun, crystal stickles, black velvet ribbon, tool kit, dimensionals, water color pencils, blender pen.


Happy Birthday Trac -- we love you.

A Card For Tracie


Ok, I have not done anything on my To-Do list. I really need to get busy, but I wanted to try a card with this new stamp.

The reason I ordered the trendy ladies from Eclectic Paperie was to make some cards for my sister. You see she is the definition of Trendy. She works in a VERY trendy salon in Virginia. You know the kind that it is about $400 to get your hair done. I do have to say --being totally objective -- she is one of the best there. She just has this way of making her customer look their absolute best.

The funny thing is I think sometimes she is embarrassed when people see me. I have long hair that has no style to it, but it is easy to take care of -- you know head band or pony tail. To make matters even worse I use that temporary hair color from the grocery store to cover up the little bit of gray that I have.

Anyway this is the card. I used brilliant blue for her dress because her salon is called Blue. I do not know whether you can see, but I used the stickles on the jewelry to add bling. It looks really pretty IRL.
