Mojo 200

Hi once again card makers, and a very big hooray to MojoMonday Challenge on their 200th design post. I've made a contemporary Aussie themed Christmas card and I'm quietly happy with the result....just might have to make a few more in different colours.

Hi fellow card makers, I'm early this week ...as hubby and I are off to Exmouth where he is playing golf for the weekend.... and I will be veging totally not even cooking meals!!

I really enjoyed this weeks Mojo and finally used the last of my green patterned card stock Vikki gave me for our challenge #8. It's a bit ...what...whimsical or something - first time I've added a die cut bird....I think he's cute. Have an enjoyable and creative weekend all, cya next week.

This photo is soooo sad, the colours are really much nicer - Purple, Lavender and White for the Scrapbook Boutique challenge - http://scrapbookboutiquenews.blogspot.com/ 

and also for this weeks Mojo 198. This week I have included some more microbeads and a flower trinket from my stash and I'm quite happy with my first card. My second card uses the Mojo layout too and also the colours Vikki picked for RobVik challenge #10 - Peach, Green and Blue - I painted the shell with my Twinkling H2O's and found a shell charm in my stash. Thanks for taking a peep.

A few weeks back I made a couple of these centre step cards, I love them and find them easy to construct - I modified the size to fit Aussie sizes and a C6 envelope and I can get two from an A4 sheet of card. I also found that the A5 size cuttlebug folders fit the front surface of the card. Thanks for having a peep and have a creative weekend.

Alcohol Inks

Here are my first attempts with alcohol inks - I swiped the ink on gloss card with a sponge and a tiny attempt with the blending solution on the brown card. This card is out of my comfort zone with the colours but I'm happy with the effect - I added a tiny line of brown and gold micro beads which I haven't used for years.

My turquoise and lime effort is a comfy floral. I was inspired by the cards the girls created for the challenge at http://casestudychallenge.blogspot.com/2011/06/case-study-challenge-45.html

Saturday I spent a lazy day colouring in pre-stamped Christmas designs and have added 3 more to my stack.

Mojo 197, RobVik # 8

So much for my walk this morning, came to my desk early this morning and there was my card in pieces just waiting for me to put it all together....so here it is. I like this weeks Mojo - simple layout. And this also incorporates the card Vikki gave me for our #8 RobVik challenge. It's the reverse side of my previous card (Sunday 19th) and so presents a totally different feel. I've added brown as my coordinating ribbon had browns spots and I'm pretty happy with the finished card. But stay tuned as I still have piece of that patterned card left :-) ........thanks for taking a look.
