Mojo Monday #69

Hi, hope you all had a great day! I did. This is the sketch for Mojo Monday #69, isn't it great.


I started with my new favorite colour, Pumpkin Pie, and the new DSP Bali Breeze really fun, bright summer colours. Love them. I cut out the large funky flower and layered it with felt flowers, popping it up on dimensionals.

Thanks for looking.

Sneak Peak's

I just realized I hadn't posted anything since Saturday. This is because I've been having lots of fun playing. Sunday we meet my sister and niece to see a movie and then dinner. Movie was Bedtime Stories-good for a giggle, my younger kids really enjoyed it. Monday spent most of the day stamping. Tuesday (today) spent the day at the park with some great friends.

So I thought I better show you a sneak peak of what I'm working on.

This first project is part of a new section I'm starting on this blog very soon.

You'll have to check back to see what it's all about. grin

And this is a sneak peak of something I'm working on that's not quite finished, well the first stage anyway. Hopefully I'll be able to show you in the next couple of days.

Has that got you thinking!!

Hi, just wanted to show you these great wall hangings my Mum made me for Christmas. She whipped this one up in just a couple days. She's amazing!

This second one she made for me a couple of years ago. She made one for all her children so 5 in total. These kitty cats are really fun and sooo cute!

Thanks Mum your the best.

This is a cute 10.5 x 10.5 cm card using Eastern Blooms (new) and Say it with Scallops (new) stamp sets. I've stuck with the main colours, don't they look great together! I've used

1 1/4" & 1 3/8" square punches popped up on dimensional and added a bit of Basic Grey taffeta ribbon.

I had lots of fun making this 6 x 6" scrap page. This layout is a great way to use lots of photos on the one page. The words are stamped using the Rough Edge Alphabets set, I've used lots of punches, 1 1/4", 1 3/8", 1/2" squares, 1 1/4", 3/4" circles and the corner rounder. The buttons a stuck on with mini glue dots and I stapled a bit of black grosgrain ribbon to the side.

I hope this gets you inspired to join in with the challenge, can't wait to see what you come up with.

Have fun!
