Mojo Shoes

Happy Sunday folks!  I had a birthday party to attend yesterday and my six year old friend has a favorite movie.  I'll bet you can guess which movie it is.  Here's a hint:  She went to see Wicked with her parents and her grandmothers.  Yep, she's a big fan of the Wizard of Oz.  Now, you understand my red glittering heels and the use of blue checked patterned paper.  My daughter wrote in a sentiment about her friendship sending her "over the rainbow".  It seems my 9 year old knows a thing or two about the Wizard of Oz as well.

I used the current Mojo Monday sketch to make this card happen in a hurry.  I love personalizing cards and there wasn't anything in my stash that was just right for our friend.  I used the sketch as is and moved the star/heart just a bit to better balance my card for me.

Thanks for stopping by !  I hope your weekend finishes in the most marvelous way.

Scor-Pal More Than One Score, Summer Fun Edition

Hello Crafty Friends!  We are knee-deep in July and the Scor-Pal More Than One Score challenge for this month has a summer fun theme.  Katie is our featured hostess and she has a super cute ice cream stand card on the Scor-Pal blog.  It took me a little bit of thinking before I knew what I was going to do for my project.  I finally came up with something that I think you will really like.  I work for a school district and so I am off in the summer and end up doing heaps on canning!  I crafted this little berry box in which to present my homemade jams and butters.

Here you can see my little jar of jam poking out of my berry box and a swirl of red tissue.

I jazzed up the front of my box with some stamped strawberries, a banner and a delicious sentiment!

And just in case you are curious, here is a peek at the inside of my box before tissue and jam.

You have about two more weeks to submit your Scor-Pal Summer Fun project.  Let's see what you come up with.

Details - Stamps: Tart and Tangy (SU), Java Time (MFT); Paper: Real Red, Smooth White, Pebbles Fresh Goods dp; Ink: Real Red, Green Galore; Accessories: Scor-Pal, Scor-Tape, Up, Up and Away Shapeabilities dies, Copic Multiliner, stampin' dimensionals.

What a fun background this is!  I opened up my stamp set, conditioned it, inked it up and stamped away.  I had grand plans for a fancy one layer card.  Except, I had stamped my background upside down.  You know what stampers say about mistakes right, there are none...only happy accidents.  I quickly planned to cut off my card front, trim it down and pop up another sentiment.  I basically turned my sketch upside down.  The real bonus is that I like this better with all the lovely purple!

Look at Chuck!  He totally cleans up!  Several high school seniors in our community got suits like this for Senior Prom.  I can't remember where they found them (one of my co-workers had a son graduate this year), but the suits have all these wild patterns.  Don't believe me, check out this link.  Chuck is ready for the dance and only needs a partner.  I borrowed the Wow! sentiment from another Paper Doll set called Paper Doll Paige Formal Wear.

Let's finish up the hop!!  If you didn't start at the beginning, you might want to go back and not miss a bit of Chuck.  Here's the Design Team List:

Scor-Pal More Than One Score, the Wedding edition

Hello Crafty Friends!  We are knee-deep in June and the Scor-Pal More Than One Score challenge for June has a wedding theme.  Lois is our hostess and she has a cute box tutorial on the Scor-Pal blog.  I don't know about you, but it seems like I am always shy on wedding cards in my stash, so I created one for this challenge.  I opted for an off-kilter gate-fold style of card with a monster wedding cake on it.

Here you can see the card opened up a bit with room for a message inside.

Here the card is closed.  It is held by one tiny flower on the left hand side.  

There is about a week and half left to play this challenge.  Good luck to you!

Details - Stamps: Occasional Quotes (SU); Paper: Snow Storm Smooth (MFT), Blush Blossom (SU); Ink: Blush Blossom, London Fog; Accessories: Scor-Pal, Fancy Fan embossing folder, Candy Cane Strip embossing folder, SU flower punch, glue dots, stampin' dimensionals, Recollection rhinestones, baby brayer, square punch.
