MOJO Monday


This card was made for this week's MOJO87 challenge. These are some of my favorite of color combinations and I'm having a great time with my new Garden Greetings stamp set I got a few weeks ago. I used soft sky ink, then rock and rolled the stamp into baja breeze, and then used my buckaroo blue around the edges.

New images from Digital Stamp Oasis


This is done on mellow moss paper although it looks like kraft in this photo. Little Sammy is delivering this gift wrapped nut to you!! I used some Basic Grey dp for the background panel and used some of my new copic markers to color in Sammy, a digital image from

This is for the new Kitchen Sink Crew Challenge. Connie wanted cut out images on the entries, so I used the graduation set and the rose set to make this gradutation card. I scored the background panel with my Scor-Pal.

MOJO Monday


I'm a day late on the Mojo Monday challenge but loved this sketch so got right on it today. I used the rock and roll technique with these stamps to get the soft sky and always artichoke blend on it. This is one of my favorite Stampin' Up sets that I wish had not retired. I thought it went well with this design paper.

Psalm 63:7


This card is for the challenge that is going on at Our Daily Bread. I so enjoyed my visit to their blog because of the beautiful music. This is my scripture card for this week. I love music and this verse reflects the only requirement God has for the music we make. He doesn't require it be of top quality, excellently sung, He only requires we make it joyfully. These stamps are from Our Daily Bread and I love that they have used their talents to glorify God's words in their stamps. They have some gorgeous images and of course, some very powerful words of truth that God has given us. Bless them for making these available to us, and may their efforts be blessed abundantly.

Mojo85


I haven't gotten the chance to do a MOJO challenge in some time. But tonight seemed like the perfect time. I used some of my Basic Grey paper from the Sultry tablet I have and this is the only Verve stamp I have in my collection so far. Waiting for an order because I finally fit some new ones into my stamping budget this month. I added rhinestones on the cross to pick up on the pinks in this card. I love the style I find in the Verve stamps and Julee uses such a pretty font on her sentiments. You can find the MOJO challenge here.

Celebrating that first year in school



This is a wonderful new image from Digital Stamp Oasis. I cut out a black graduation hat from cardstock to add to little Susie's head. Having been a kindergarten teacher for over 20 years, I just thought this image would make the cutest little graduation card for this big event in some little one's great accomplishment of completing and surviving their first year of school.
