Pemberley Birthday Card

My grandmother's birthday is on Sunday, so I decided to use the Mojo Monday sketch from this week again to make a birthday card for her. This time I used the Pemberley paper from Close to My Heart, which is one of my favorites. I also used the Card Word Puzzle and Hooray Bouquet stamp sets for the yellow flowers and birthday sentiment. I really like how it turned out!

Footloose - Mojo Monday #233

For those of you who don't know about Mojo Monday, it's a great website that has a new card design each Monday that you can challenge yourself with. You can link your card to their website and even win prizes for competing!

I've been following this website for quite awhile, but this is the first card that I've actually posted. I think the design is great, and I immediately knew that Close to My Heart would have the right embellishments and paper for this week's challenge.

Here is this week's sketch:

Here's the card that I made using our Footloose paper and complements. I also used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut out the scalloped edge. It's simple and easy, and that's how I like my cards!

Thanks for looking!

Footloose Workshop on the Go

I love the Footloose paper packet out of the new catalog, and I really love the exclusive stamp set that comes with the Workshop on the Go. That's always the main reason why I buy the kit or not. I just got done making the two layouts that come with the kit, and I really like them!

As usual, I made a few changes to the original designs in order to get a few more pictures on the layouts, but I think they turned out nicely!

Scrapbooking Retreat!

I finally have all the details for the scrapbooking retreat that I've been planning! Yippee! Check out my new tab on this blog all about the retreat, and make sure you sign up today to reserve your spot! Space is limited!

Using up scraps

I'm always looking for ways to use up all my leftover cardstock scraps, and I really like this little card. It's only 2.5 x 3.5 inches, but it uses two small strips of leftover patterned paper and a few small cutout shapes - scraps that I always seem to have on hand! This card comes from the pattern Simple Strip in the Wishes book.
