Mojo Moments!

So I had a day off from work and my husband took the kids for a couple of hours. My mojo was in full swing! First, I used Amy's sketch from the Paper Popsicles' blog. Why don't you head over there and try the sketch out for yourself? You have until Tuesday, July 7th, midnight EST to load up your card. The winner will receive 3 digital designs. Be sure to check out all the NEW designs in the Paper Popsicles store. There are a few new releases this week including some way cool 4th of July images!! Here is the sketch and what I did with it this go around.

I flipped it around, created a window and used my Wild Card cartridge.

Here is a card I made using the Peacock digital image from the Paper Popsicles' store and my watercolor pencils. I am finding that my coloring skills are getting better the more I practice. The stickles are really helpful too~

I actually found some peacock feathers on a ribbon for way cheap so they were a perfect addition to the card! This next card was using up some old paper and diecuts I had and thought I better use up.

This pink one is from my dear Hannah who is trying her darndest to imitate her mama:

I have seen so many versions of these butterfly cards. So simple and beautiful. Many people have been using a Martha Stewart butterfly punch. I don't have punches, so I used my Making Memories Slice. It was perfect for the job!

This is a simple card I made for my nephew who just bought his first home at 20 years old. I am proud of him. We are sending him some Menard's gift certificates to spend. Again, I used my most favorite newest cartridge for my cricut, Wild Card.

And finally, a popsicle card. I used Sure Cuts Alot to make the cut.

Dug around for some popsicle sticks in my stash too.

Whew! Thanks for looking and as always....HAPPY SCRAPPING!

Paper Popsicle Card and it's a Bad Day to be a TOOTH FAIRY!!!!

Why don't you try the sketch this week and load it here using Mr. Linky. The winner will receive 3 digital designs. Be sure to check out all the NEW designs in the Paper Popsicles store.
This is what I did with the sketch. I so love using up scraps of junk I have laying around in my stash!!!!

Today, Hannah had to have 3 more teeth pulled. I am so scared of dentists, so I have dear hubby take her again. For some reason, her grown up teeth grow BEHIND the baby teeth. You can't wiggle those buggers if you life depended on it. Check out the SIZE!

And here is a close up. She is such a trooper!

It is amazing how much her face changes with some teeth missing! I guess the tooth fairy will go broke tonight. Three teeth to pay for. Sheeshk!

Thanks for looking and happy scrapping!

Some cards for you!

I finally finished up the sketch challenge from Paper Popsicles that you can find here. I used the cupcake digital images found in the Paper Popsicles store too. It is getting easier to use stamps and digital designs. The designs at the Paper Popsicles store are the bomb! What a value. You can resize them which is so much fun. My kids even enjoy coloring them in! Check it out

Things are gathering dust as I collect!!! lol Then finally, last but definitely not least is Inspirational Card Sketches. This week's sponsor is Lily Boo Boutique. They are giving the lucky winner a set of these cute little images!!!!
Here is the sketch this week. You can load them up here.I actually had one made for the sketch early in the week and then the generous gal at Lily Boo Boutique gave the DT the images to play with so I did two cards.
