MOJO 123 Easter and All Occasion




I didn't follow directions as carefully as the rest of you, but this just seemed to work for me this month. It was great fun having a different shape to use!
The yellow sample is made with PROVO paper and the teal is with CTMH paper. Ribbon in both is from FX and embellishments are just part of my stash...just can't keep all the brand names in my head. It's been fun playing with this during our frigid WI weather this week.

My friend is having knee replacement surgery in three weeks, so this card will be used to hopefully cheer him. It's amazing how many people I know who have gone through some kind of "replacement" this past year....hope to stay out of that group!

MOJO 120 VALENTINE








Happy Valentine's Day a little early! Even after Christmas there's a reason to continue working in red. Speaking of Christmas, I bought myself a gift, an Epic Six, so am having some fun with embossing and die cuts.

For this project I used my Nestabilities die cuts for the circles, and two different Cuttlebug embossing folders (Heart Blocks and Floral Fantasy) to "jazz" up the top circle, and black and pink rectangles. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the black lacey effect near the bottom. The embellishments are from my "stash" and I no longer have the labels for the pink and read heart and the pink dots. I like how they look together even though they're different materials. The ribbon is also from my scrap pile it's now time to buy more. All paper is from the Paper Studio.

I was most challenged with the circles and how to fit the black one into the scheme, and tucking it under the top three and behind the black / red rectangle seemed to work best. It made the other colors pop a little better.

Thanks for the interesting design. I hope there are parts of my project you've enjoyed.
