2nd Mojo Monday 265 post

Well, I got it done!  Made a circle card for one of each for Mojo Monday 265!  YEAH!!

I don't do circle card very often and they challenge me, but I am happy with the results of this one.  Love to use pop ups to give depth to a card.

I punched out some snowflakes and used Glimmer Mist on them, but it doesn't show up in the picture. The little white snowflake I took off of a card I got a few years ago.

The holly and poinsettia are from K&Company. They have been in my stash and I love using them.

Here is my end result!  I'm happy with it and I just took both of the cards outside and put them in a shrub off the patio.  Hope they look ok that way.  Once again, thank you for taking the time too look and to comment.  I love to know that you have been here.  kathy

Mojo Monday 261

Hi Everyone!  Hope you are all enjoying some great fall days.  It was a warm 78 here in NW Indiana today, very windy, but a wonderful fall day.  I was off work today and was buy my local scrapbook store and stopping in to take a look.  I picked up Authentic fall line 6X6 pad.  That is what all the pattern paper is on my card that I am sharing today.  I used Tattered Leaves die to cut 2 leaves for the focal point.

I've had that nut in my stash...I'm sure I got it at Hobby Lobby last year.  I wrinkled up the leave to give it a realistic look and inked the edges too.

                                                Also added a little felt leaf and another nut! :)

                 This "Have Fun" stamp is from the dollar bin at Michael's.  I've had this for a while too.

And here is the finally look at my take on Mojo Monday 's card!  Thanks for stopping by.....oh, and I would love to hear what you think of it. :)  Thanks for taking the time to comment!!

Thanks for stopping in today.  I've got something that I think is kind of cool to share with all of you today.  My father is in a nursing home and the sibs and I have been trying to get his house all cleaned out.  It's a family farm that has been in the family for 4 generations.  It's a very special place to all of us.  My mom and dad were collections of MANY, MANY different things primarily antiques.  While going through one of the boxes,  I came across these.

 They are some labels for a can of tomatoes that were never on a can!  I thought they were something I needed to bring home.

What to do with them?  I decided to use part of one to make a card.  My bestie grows some wonderful cherry tomatoes and give us a lot of them.

See below the date is on the bottom.

This is the card I came up with for Cheri.  She is always so generous and her tomatoes are delicious!

I just love how it turned out letting the image do all the work!  

Thanks for looking.

MOJO MONDAY

Hi everyone!  Here I am again sliding in by the skin of my teeth!!  About the only time I get to make anything anymore is on Sunday.  The pics not the greatest because it just rained here this afternoon, so it's still cloudy.
I am always drawn to My Mind's Eye paper and with that being said, the patterned paper is Lost & Found Halloween.  The colors are soft and muted like I like.  I don't remember the name of the place that I ordered the wonderful crinkle ribbon from, but it's so cool  because of how the colors run together....love that!
Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great week!
