Another Baby Card

Shew! This is the last baby card that I'll be needing for a while, at least as far as I know. I'm preparing to do a scrapbook yard sale with my customers and friends next weekend and, as I was sorting through things, I came across a lot of leftover paper from our Cocoa Cafe promotion from at least two years ago. I loved the pink and green pages so I was inspired to use then to make this final card.

The card design is an old Mojo Monday sketch and was fairly simple. I was afraid it was going to be too simple and I wasn't going to like it but, as it turns out, this may be my favorite card out of all the ones I made. I love that it has an elegant feel to it and that made it perfect for the mommy-to-be!

Color Me Monday Card

My cousin is getting married in Jamaica next week so I needed to make her a card. Jeanette Lynton, founder of Close To My Heart, is now doing color challenges on her blog so I used last week's Color Me Monday color combination as the inspiration for my card.

My cousin isn't a real girly girly and their wedding is pretty low key so I wanted to keep the card simple but reflective of the beach wedding they are going to be having. The colors I used are Heavenly Blue, Garden Green, Desert Sand, Sorbet, and White Daisy. I am pretty pleased with how this card turned out.
Supplies Used:
Heavenly Blue Cardstock
Garden Green Cardstock
Desert Sand Cardstock
Sorbet Cardstock
White Daisy Cardstock
Hula Paradise Stamp Set

Mojo Monday Week 84

It seems like I have a lot of events coming up shortly for which I'll be needing cards. So I've been browsing blogs because it seems to me that the only way I'll get cards done for all these events is by participating in challenges. I love a good challenge, and I love winning even better!

I've heard of Mojo Monday before and I know a lot of people that do their challenges so I decided to start with their challenge this week. I obviously need two Mother's Day cards this year so I decided to start with those. Here is a copy of the sketch from Mojo Monday
and here is the card that I made.


I'm not sure which mother will be getting this particular card yet but I'm seriously impressed with myself for getting it finished. Noah and I have been having sort of a rough week and yesterday was particularly taxing on me and my nerves. I think he's going through a growth spurt and doesn't want to give in to his feelings of exhaustion. Isaac is home today and I'm SO glad for the reprieve.

I have a few other card challenges that I'm planning on working on today so who knows, I may have multiple posts this week! LOL.
