Notes By Nina

Times Flies, even when it is not all fun. I am looking forward to this up and coming long weekend for so many reasons, but I do plan to hide away in my craft room at some point for a little one on one time with my neglected craft supplies. This is my only card for this past week and I have not even been able to share the love on any of the blogs I follow, including family. I hate that. OK ok enough complaining. I am glad that the gals at Mojo Monday give us a week to get it all together :).

I have this huge stash of G-Studio stamps, you know the ones, the $1.50 ones from Michaels. I always seem to buy them but then tuck them away. My new goal is to pull them out and ink them up, there really are some nice ones that I have hoarded. An example you ask, why I used a cute little Happy Birthday for this very card. I stamped it with VersaFine-Imperial Purple then embossed it with Liquid Glass embossing powder.

I love the sketch this week, I found it easy to work with and I am rather happy with the card I was able to produce. My mother-in-law has a Birthday coming up and I think this worked out nicely for her.

Mojo Monday Sketch 187:



I used my stash of Memory Box designer papers, then added a nice shade of purple cardstock as the background and I embossed it with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, then matched that throughout the card with a Stampabilites- Faded Text Background stamped in Versacolor-Heliotrope. I used my Mini Bowdabra to create a lovely bow with a rich purple Celebrate- it ribbon and I finished with Kaisercraft gems.

Supplies: Cream and Purple cardstock, Designer Paper-Memory Box, Spellbinders & Cuttlebug die cuts and embossing folders, Stampabilities-Faded Text Background, G-Studio- Happy Birthday, Inkadinkado-Round Frames, Kaisercraft- Gems, EKSuccess-Edge Punch, Celebrate It -Ribbon.

I will be back later this week... for sure.

Cheers,
Nina
