Crazy 4 Challenges Creation

Good Morning & Happy Thursday Everyone!!

Wow!  I don't think I've ever made an easier card!!  I decided to play along with the Crazy 4 Challenges team to make a Valentine's card & I really surprised myself at how QUICK I put this together!  I didn't follow any particular sketch making this either.....I just went with the flow.  Only after I was done with it did I realize that I didn't use any ribbon!  It's pretty rare for me to do that since I'm sort of a ribbon junkie but I think it works without it. 

That's all for today folks!  I'll be back on Saturday with my Etsy post so please come back to see which FAB shop will be featured!!  Thanks so much for stopping by & have a great rest of the day!

Until Next Time,

Hugs & Love,

Mojo Valentine

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday Friends!!!
My post for today will be short & sweet.  We're supposed to get a LOT of snow & I have to take my oldest son to the dentist to fix his broken tooth.  He was getting out of the pool at school, slipped & hit his mouth breaking his front tooth!!  I'm keeping my fingers crossed & saying prayers as I drive in this mess today because I'd much rather stay at home but this does need to be taken care of ASAP!

Sooooo, onto my post.....my creation for today is totally inspired by the awesome sketch over at the Mojo Monday Challenge Blog.  I have always LOVED the sketches they come up with for the simple reason that they inspire such creativity in me.  I immediately knew that I wanted to make a square card and use my Greeting Card Kids stampset.  I figured I could brush up on my coloring skills with these adorable stamps & I must say that I truly enjoyed putting this beauty together.  The layout gave me the opportunity to use up some of my leftover DSP & that gorgeous Glimmer Paper....it's so easy to punch with it---there's no mess!!!!  Once I had it all laid out, I decided my card needed some texture at the bottom and ribbon at the top to finish it off......I am extremely happy with it & I hope you all enjoy it as well!!!

Thanks so much for poppin' in today and have a great rest of the day!!!
Until Next Time,
Hugs & Love,
