One Stop Craft Challenge

As you can tell I've been busy lately making cards, as well as everything else around here, but I'm very thankful that I've found my mojo.  Over at One Stop Craft Challenge this week the challenge is 3 Circles and on my card I used 3 buttons as circles.  I've been using loads of odd stash recently (and I need to use alot more before I start buying more, so the quicker I use it the quicker I can buy - just wondering how long this will last though, I have my eye on loads of new goodies over at Cardz 'n' Scrapz)

Stamp: Magnolia (sorry can't remember the name), Papermania sentiment
Paper: DCWV linen closet
Ink: Memento
Accessories: Copics, Cuttlebug, nesties, glitter, ribbon, buttons, Stampin' Up! tab punch.

It's 2011

I really don't know where last year went, but it came and went with a blink of an eye. I'm just hoping this year might go a little slower so I sit back and enjoy it!!!

Well it's a new year, so I thought I'd better change my blogging ways ..... in other words blog (before I forget how to!!) So what better way to start my blogging for this year is one of my favourite stamp companies - Verve Stamps, you just got to love 'em. I also received my parcel of goodies today (super fast delivery), so I'm sure you'll see lots more Verve on the blog.

Anyway, better get back to why I'm blogging ..... I played along with Mojo Monday fabby sketch and used my new paper pad DCWV The Linen Closet stack (it's an oldish one, but it's new to me).

Paper: DCWV The Linen Closet

Stamps: Verve Stamps Great Friend, Waltzingmouse Stamps Frame It

Ink: Versafine Tuxedo Black, Distress Inks - Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Brushed Corduroy

Accessories: Cuttlebug, Nesties, gems, corner rounder punch and glitter.

Thanks for looking.

Coloured Tilda in with watercolour pencils, added various flowers and attached to the card with a brad. And I found this gorgeous ribbon in my stash.

CMUtd Challenge #6

On CMUtd challenge blog, Julie has taken over from Babs and this is her first challenge is Circles and Dots. When I was making my ATC this morning I spotted some fabby paper which is just right for this challenge, so I inked up one of my new Magnolias and started to have a play. This is the result Thanks for looking.

ATCs

I love making ATCs but I haven't made any for a little while, only the odd one or two. I made 3 today, one for a swap on Crafty Cows forum, one is for a birthday and the last one I'm going to swap on the chain swap on Auntys forum as I haven't joined in with that for a while.

Papertake Weekly Challenge

This week on Papertake Weekly Challenge blog is This weeks challenge is Squares! Square cards, square patterns or squares on your layout! I think I'm just in time for this challenge, it's a very quick card, but at least I'm crafting. Haven't done anything for a few days and fingers crossed the new week will bring my mojo back!

I love this stamp from Inkadinkado which I bought from Sassy Crafts the shop used to be Get Crafty, but Emma the owner has moved up in the world and stocking gorgeous goodies now. I just know she is going to bankrupt me! LOL.
