Happy New  Year!

Hi everyone~

I decided to make a couple of cards today, but am just posting this....it's the only one that's "post worthy"!

I used my stash....just like usual!  I love to go things that I already have.  I used Tim Holtz rosette die to make a rosette.  Behind it is a Martha Stewart doily.  On top is a sticker that I bought ALONG time ago at a
bridal store.  The center is a Spare Parts brad.

I love the elegant look I got with this card!  Used black card stock for the base and the print paper is from a pad of paper I got at Hobby Lobby.  Next is just some creamy colored paper and then on top of that is a medium colored gray.  I embossed it and cut a scallop using My Favorite Things die.  Next I cut a strip of black card stock and embossed that with Swiss dot folder.  I added some Prima lace and the bling I bought at Jo Ann's   Also used Spellbinders ribbon die and some old paper distress ink.  I just typed Happy New Year on my computer.

Thanks for stopping by....please let me know you were here!! 

Happy New Year!

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!!
