MOJO Monday 215

Two deaths within three days equates to an emotionally and physically draining week.  With all this going on, my grandmother turns 81 today and although we are not celebrating due to the deaths, I still wanted to acknowledge her birthday.  Happy 81st Birthday Grandma Charlotte!

Here is the card that I barely squeezed in some time to make:

I am not sure if this is a reflection of my current mood, but this card turned out darker than I originally planned.  I used this week's MOJO215 sketch for this card.  

Here is the sketch from Mojo Monday:

Happy Birthday Emily!

This is a birthday card and a framed bible verse that I made for a friend's daughter.  Happy Birthday Emily!  This is Emily's favorite bible verse and she wanted it framed for her bedroom.  

I used last week's Mojo Monday 214 sketch for this card.  I die cut the number 14 from PTI's By the Numbers die set and then added fine glitter to it.  Sentiment is from PTI's Big Birthday Wishes stamp set.

HCBC Week 1, Day 5

Here is my card for day 5 of the Holiday Card Boot Camp.  I am still challenging myself to use what I have on hand as well as keeping these cards very CAS. 

I embossed the woodgrain stamped image with white glitter embossing powder.  I thought this would be a fun way to tie in the glitter reindeer from the border sticker. Sentiment if from PTI's Stylish Sentiments, Holiday. 

Here is the same card using kraft cardstock.  

HCBC Week 1, Day 3

Here is my card for day 3 of the Holiday Card Boot Camp 2011.  Trying to keep these cards very simple while using supplies I already have.  It's a great feeling to shop your stash!  :)

I wish I had smaller or various sizes of this color rhinestone but since I am on a mission to use what I have, I think these worked just fine!  :)

HCBC Week 1, Day 1

I am participating in Holiday Card Boot Camp 2011 in an effort to get some holiday cards done before the chaos of the season hits our home!  

Here is my version of the card for day 1.  I am hoping to use up some of my holiday stash as well as keep these cards very CAS.  

Congrats Wedding Card!

This is a card that I made for my cousin's wedding.  I wanted to keep this card simple and elegant without using too many colors.  

I clear embossed the top layer with Hero Arts, Antique Flower Background stamp onto PTI's vintage cream cardstock.  I loved the way it turned out.  Middle layer is a shimmer cream cardstock and base layer is from Creative Imaginations.

Sentiment is from PTI which was embossed onto vellum.
