Nothing like finding some MOJO!

I actually found some MOJO today while at work. My co-worker, Carol, who is an avid quilter, brought in some fabric that she had picked up. It was a Moda Jelly Roll, and I was instantly in love with it! I used to do quite a bit of sewing, and still have my fabric stash that I just won't part with! Much like my Designer Paper that I love to look at, but heaven forbid I actually cut that virgin piece! Anyway, here are some "snipets" of the fabric - much, much better in real life!

So, I took the colors from the fabric, hooked them up with this week's Mojo Monday Sketch:

...and I created this:

Cute, Huh! I can NOT believe that I'm beginning to gravitate towards bright cheery colors! And flowers too??? What is wrong with me lately? I've caved - I'm revolting against my typical Earth Elements colors! What do you think? What are your favorite color combinations?

Thanks for looking!

Sweet Sunday Sketch 16!

As you know - I'm a fan of Karen's sketch challenges...and this one I really loved. I had on my craft table, the package of rub-ons, Bright Delight, and saw the perfect opportunity to use some of them up. I really like the quirkiness of the owls, and thought they would be adorable looking at each other. The phrase "You've got a friend in me", seemed to be the perfect fit - it's almost as one owl is saying that to the other. My only other choice would be for one owl to say something like, "Hey babe, you wanna dance?", and the other say, "Whhhoooooo, me???" Yes, it's late, and I am a bit dilusional!

I really did very little stamping - just the branch - SERIOUSLY! Just the branch! The rest - rub-ons! It was super easy. I did break out the stamp-a-ma-jig for placement of the branch and owls - just so I could be sure to fit the owls in well. Once I got the hang of pulling out that handy little tool, I just can't let go! It is a lifesaver - well, really a brainsaver. It just takes the guesswork out! Even my border and sentiment are rubbed on! Too cute - eh?

Hello Birdie!

Another card for you to see - using the Cheep Talk set. This little guy just reminds me of spring. Although - some of the local weathermen are predicting are predicting 8 - 14 inches of SNOW this weekend. WHAT??? It's April. Snow is not allowed. Whatever happened to April Showers bring May flowers? That does NOT mention anything about snow. UGH! So, here's my attempt at reminding us that spring will come - eventually!

Here is a card recently made at a workshop I did. I have fallen in LOVE with the birds. I think I like them because they can be used in a magnitude of ways. I'll be able to use them on scrapbook pages for the boys and on cards. But also, I can easily change the mood of them just by changing my colors. This card seems more bright and cheery in person. I used the Good Morning Sunshine DSP - and I really like that paper. It reminds me of the song "Rockin' Robin". Yeah - you'll be singing that the rest of the day now!

I really like these buttons from Button Latte. Too cute!
