Long Lost Mojo Monday sketch

It has been a while since I showed what was going on at the Mojo Monday blog...I have been checking it weekely - I just have not passed it onto everyone! Here is this weeks sketch:

instructions from the blog....

As always, feel free to substitute if you don't have a specific shape - just make the sketch work for you!  To play along, make a project using the provided sketch and upload it to your blog or online gallery. Then leave a link to your project using the linking widget at the bottom of this post.  There is no time limit, we're playing just for fun.  You can always play any week at any time, but the linking form is scheduled to close at 8:00pm (Mountain) on Sunday night. That way there's no confusion which link list is the current one. If you upload to online galleries, please use keyword/tag MOJO217

Today is America Recycles Day...how do you use scraps?

I know I end up with a TON of cardstock scraps (like enough to fill four 12 x 12 drawers 4" deep). I have comitted to trying to use up as many scraps as I can from now on. I have actually been trying to do that for a while, but I recently came across a bunch of strips of Night of Navy that were all the same size. I was designing my Night of Navy boughs Christmas card and decided to make use of them! So far, I have had to cut a few to get the number I needed for my upcoming card class, but boy, did it save me using full sheets.

 

Each card uses 3 pieces and I am cutting for 75 cards...that is a lot of pieces, but I think the final result is really nice. Everyone coming to my card class must think so, too as it is the card most chosen by those attending. It really is a nice one!

Friday night Christmas card class

I only have room for one, MAYBE two people for the Friday night class next week...I still have room for 4-5 for Saturday, so if you want to come to the class you should probably call to make sure there is still room. If you'd like to see the cards, look here.

Hope to see you there!

Three fun cards!

Here are three cards that I did for a workshop this past weekend. I love them all! I will post more details later, but I wanted to get them posted! Don't forget that the earlybird discount for my Crristmas card class ends this coming Sunday. I have 2-3 spaces left for Friday night and 4 for Saturday.

   

 



Got Merry?

Here is a card that uses a very basic design, suitable for a quick and easy project. One sheet of Designer Series paper Letters to Santa (122349) on page 186 in the regular catalog, would be enough to do 14 cards like this one. There are so many different things that you can do with the assortment of designs. Notice that the "Bingo card" goes from 1-25. Next week I will show a cute project using one of them as an Advent calendar. In this card, I used the Gingerbread man from the Got Treats stamp set. It is a set that coordinates with the Milk carton Die. There are stamps in this set for about any celebration and the little milk cartons are just the right size for a small treat.

Got Treats #120627 clear mount stamp set; Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake classic ink; Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, Marina Mist, Whisper White cardstock; 1-1/4" circle, 1-3/8" circle and 1-3/4" Scallop Circle punch; Curly Label punch; 5/8" Whisper White Satin ribbon; Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.

Here is the Bigz die that coordinates with the stamp set I used...
