X-mas icons

Good afternoon peeps, I'm going to show you another holiday set of mine, that I made after getting inspired by a similar one featured in an "Australian Cardmaking, Stamping & Papercraft" magazine.
I'm very much into classic, rich Christmas colours: red, green and gold, and I enjoy every piece I create, that features them. Here's my very Christmassy project:

This set took me more time that I expected, partly because it takes some time to do the embossing manually (I used Fiskars embossing plate and a stylus), and partly due to exceptionally high temperatures today, that left me pretty exhausted, and my little girl cranky :)

The cards were made to suit two challenges, one of them being "Getting Punchy With It" at Daring Cardmakers (which is to use punches of course), and the other one - "All That Sparkles" at Simon Says Stamp. The last one especially suited the idea behind these cards, to make the central elements twinkle. And oh boy, they do beautifully :)

Below are the photos of each card in detail:

The ornaments have been cut freehand from patterned paper and cardstock, and then glittered. The sentiments are, as usually, hand-written.
Hope you like them, thanks for stopping by!

Still havin' it

I did it again... I CASE'd Jenny Gropp's fabulous card :) Well, sort of CASE'd, 'cause mine is far simpler, but the basic layout has been retained, and I was striving for the same bold effect. Whether I made it or not, it's for you to judge lol :P

This project came into being, because I couldn't possibly stop at one submission for "Spots'n'Stripes" challenge at Papertake Weekly. I'm such a sucker for dots/stripes combination on cards!
There is also a challenge over at Cute Card Thursday called Midnight Margaritas, that is about featuring a drink/cocktail theme, and it just fits here, doesn't it? :)
I didn't have any appropriate whimsical sentiment, so I wrote this one myself.

Thank you for visiting!

Two projects, two styles

Good afternoon folks, here I am to show you two of my last creations!
The first one is not my usual style, but I needed something more "informal" for Kazan's Sketch 38 at 2S4Y. I couldn't think of any good-looking layering style for this sketch, and so I came out with something that, let's say, follows it quite loosely ;)

With this design, it was easy to follow the rules of "No Backing Papers" challenge at Charisma Cardz, although I did use pieces of DP to make the cupcake and the circles. Good way to use all these scraps!

Next project is a response to quite a few challenges... before I give you the list of them, let me show you the card:

The colouring medium for the bouquet is watercolour pencils. The sentiment is hand-written.
Here are the challenges that this one enters:
- SASSC38 sketch at Stamps and Smiles (entered via OCC);
- "Beautiful Bouquet" at 365 Cards;
- "Thanksgiving/gratitude" hosted by Crafty Creations;
- "Spots'n'Stripes" over at Papertake Weekly.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, hope you like my projects!

Altered tea-light box

There are two challenges at the moment amongst my weekly "to do" list, that want us to alter some item - well, Melissa from Tuesday Morning Sketches says "dress an item up", having a Halloween theme particularly in mind, but since I'm not too keen on this holiday, I went for something more classic :)
The other challenge is "Altered Lunch Tin!" at CCEE Stampers, and my item is a gift box holding tealights:

It bugs me that no matter how many different places and light intensity I was taking the photo in, the colour of the DP would always appear cream. In fact it's as green as the tea-lights that the box holds! Talk about viciousness! The box really lost half of its beauty with the colours messed up like this, but what can I do... my camera apparently doesn't like this DP ;)
Anyway, it's going to make up for a nice present, not sure for who yet though...

Hope you like it, thank you for looking!

3-D flower for a friend

Hello again, such a beautiful day we've got here today! :)
I just made a card that also turned out beautifully - at least for me! ;) I wanted to combine the 3 Dimensional Challenge at Just us Girls, that is to use a 3-D flower on the project, with Anja's bonus sketch from 2S4Y, and thus the scalloped circle was replaced with the flower - mind you, it too has a scalloped chipboard base :)

Apart from the chipboard element, the flower is built of several layers of cardstock (crumpled and flattened again for a textured look), a piece of lace and a button embellished with a twine.
I also combined some more lace and twine on the left panel. The words are hand written.
Here's a sideways view of the flower:

There's one more challenge that I'm having this one for, and it's G is for Green at ABC Challenge.
Ahhh...I {heart} green so much! :)

Thank you for visiting, happy crafting!

Quick Holiday cards

Just when I was about to start with the 10 min. cards that I meant to create for TSG 26 at There She Goes blog, and having all supplies already chosen, an inner voice told me that maybe I should look what kind of a new colour combo the Color Throwdown team serves us this week :P
To my surprise, these were the colours that I've chosen! (elegant eggplant, bordering blue, rich razzleberry) LOL figure that!
Anyway, the more happy I was to finish the project, and it looks like this:

These took just a couple of minutes to make, except that I've hand written the sentiments, and it would take even less time if they were stamped or rubbed on.
I like how the colours pop up, even more that the DP panels are mounted on dimensionals.
Thanks for peeping in, happy stamping!

Fancy borders

Hello fellow crafters, I'm here to share with you the fruits of today's work! I'm glad to say that the two cards that I made turned out pretty nice - especially that the challenges I created them for are high in my ranks, and I'm always trying to do my best for them :)
Here's my first creation, that was designed for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #44 , and Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge #39:

Apparently I'm not the only one combining these two together, since Mercy's sketch includes a punched border, which happens to be the Flourishes' recipe.

Next card is for Mojo Monday Week 110:

I'd usually have a lot of work with layering for the Mojo Monday's sketches, since they're just asking for that :) The final effect can be really rewarding though, as any fan of layering knows well... Well, my layering tends to be far from perfection, since it's hard to cut some shapes neatly without dies, yet the card above is one of my better jobs ;)

Thank you so much for looking!

Highlighted bloom

This is going to be my last card for tonight, it's made for the sketch CPS 137 at Card Positioning Systems:

The layout and the colours were adjusted to meet the rules of the recipe over at The Pink Elephant, which are the colour black, hardware and distressing.
Black & white is perhaps not the first choice of colours to compliment powder pink and browns, but they look great together, don't they?
There is also one more challenge that this one goes to, and it's Pin-Up at 365 Cards. The requirement is to include either a stick pin, safety pin with beads, or/and a charm on the project.

Thanks a bunch for stopping by!
Chupa xx

Aww...nuts!

Here's a new card for you, based on the sketch 38 from Card Patterns:

The chipboard embellishments are from DCWV's Green Stack. This is probably the most distressed card I made so far - I thought it would go nicely with the autumn theme ;)
Thank you for looking, happy crafting!

Get well wishes

Good afternoon fellow crafters! I'm back with a simple card, a submission for the 2 Red Bananas recipe, which is a square, the colour red, and 3 buttons; and "Get Well Soon" challenge at Simon Says Stamp:

I chose the DP with a subtle pattern for the background, and stamped it randomly with doodle flowers, using white chalk ink. After allowing it to dry, I traced the lines with white marker, and then sponged the edges of the paper with red ink. I cut a long piece of red cardstock, embossed vertical lines, and sponged the piece with green ink to bring forth the pattern. I used watercolour pencils for the image, but haven't blended them, so the colours would stay crisp.
Hope you like it, thank you so much for stopping by!
Chupa xx

Seize the cupcake!

Here's my submission for the sweet Sunday sketch challenge #41 at The Sweetest Thing:

There's also a nice challenge over at Cute Card Thursday called Candy Corns, which is about making a candy-themed project, that I'm submitting this one to. Lastly, I think this card corresponds better to Crazy 4 Challenge week 8 It's All Geometric!, than my first entry for this challenge, so there it goes too :)
Hope you'll like it, thanks for looking!
Chupa xx

Catching up on the challenges

There's a line up of five challenges prepared for the following card that I've just finished:

I hate how I dread to miss any of them, one day it's going to drive me crazy if I won't have time enough for whatever reason...lol. On the brighter side, it's fun to see how many different requirements can be met on a project.
So this one goes to:
- Friday Sketchers, for I used their sketch 75;
- Crazy 4 Challenges with their challenge called It's All Geometric, that's about including 3 different geometrical shapes;
- Color Throwdown's current colour combo of purely pomegranate, certainly celery & taken with teal (I know there are be dabs of several other colours on the DPs, but the given trio forms the leading scheme);
- Delightful Daisies at Charisma Cardz, which gives me the opportunity to play with my daisy-shaped fabric flowers;
- and finally, Favourite Things at Daring Cardmakers, that says: "use at least 5 of your own personal favourite things". What are mine? Firstly - papers (YUM!), then bold colours, ribbon (yesss!), flower, gemstones and chipboard. To close my fav list, there should also be brads and a stamped image, but there was no place for them on this card. It's rich enough already ;)

Thank you for stopping by today, happy crafting!

A 2S4Y day!

I had a forced break in crafting again, due to some health issues, but I've been doing as much as I could over the last 2 days, and I'd like to show you three cards today, all of them prepared for 2 Sketches 4 You.
The first one was made for Laura's sketch for this week:

I kept the card simple, but decided to give it some pizazz by adding some red accents and glittering the wreath. I embossed the background with the polka dot pattern, so it can enter the Dry Embossing challenge at There She Goes, and the colour scheme was chosen for Colour Create's challenge 30 "All White". The last one it enters is called "Celebration" and is hosted by One Stop Craft (I've got a lot to catch up with lol!).
Both sentiments are hand-written.

I also decided to answer the girls' DT call... I know that many extremely talented ladies will submit their creations, since this is such a tempting post to occupy, but that's why I could not possibly ignore the opportunity to give it a try! I cannot begin to tell you how overjoyed I'd be if I was chosen to work with these chicks! (one can always dream lol)
Here are my creations based on the sketches prepared by Laura and Kazan for this occesion:

I created the badge myself, since I didn't have anything appropriate in my stash. I used the faux stitching technique to decorate the panels, and coloured the image with watercolour pencils, partly blended to retain crispiness where needed.

For this card, I decided to give it an eclectic look, and used a couple of different embellishments, along with a variety of papers. The flower was created from two kinds of ribbon, and embellished with a button; the stem is a chipboard die-cut. The sentiment is from SU!, but again, I wrote it myself since I don't own it.

Hope you'll like what I've done, thank you so much for looking!
Chupa xx

Guess whoo's back!

Me - with an owl-licious card :P

There is a recipe challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps blog this week, and it says: make a card, use colours pink and brown, a ribbon, some glitter, and a stamped image.
I sponged the background with glitter, after having it embossed and sponged with pink & light brown inks to bring forth the pattern.
For this card I used the lovely sketch #27 from Papertake Weekly.

Thanks for looking, happy crafting!
Chupa xx

Merry & passionate

Hello again, I've got two cards to show you today!
I found yet one more yummy challenge blog yesterday, and I swear I was battling myself to close the browser window and forget about it lol! Well, it didn't work...
It's called Just Us Girls, and here I am with a submission for their challenge #3, which is a colour combo of aqua, red and cream. Don't you just immediately think of winter holidays?

The colouring medium for both cards are my watercolour pencils. I know I'm using them a lot lately, I guess after rediscovering them I fell into some kind of addiction :P
The sentiment is hand-written, again, on both creations.
The sketch comes from 2 Red Bananas.

Next card is designed for Card Patterns sketch 37:

There's barely any layering here, but apart from the watercolours used on the image, the project is heavy with sponging. I also stamped some flourishes around the edges of the DP to create the "lush jungle" look.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Some birdies and a simple card

I really dig simple cards lately, especially when they turn out nice. This one did, at least I think so ;)

It created it for another great week's sketch at Lord Have Mercy! (MTSC44).
The image was coloured with watercolour pencils, and the sentiment is hand written (like most of them on my cards lately...)
I really have nothing much to add here, except that I hope you like it lol!

Thank you for peeping in!

Thanks to Silke :)

Yup, thanks for the über-talented Silke aka Sparklegirl Chupa whipped up two more cards tonight :) And that's because her nickname is a theme for the recent CNFS challenge over at CCEE Stampers. Thus the requirements for the project are: to make a square card, include a girl, some sparkle, and true to Silke's style, a lot of white space.
Here's what I came up with:

The sketch C4C7 comes from Crazy4Challenges.
The photo was taken in a rather strong lamp light, so the white cardstock appears quite off-white here... The Precious Moments image was coloured with my watercolour pencils, including shading of the circle. I added some faux stitching in a few places. There is precious little bling though - just the rhinestones, so I decided that I'd make one more card. It turned out very nice... but I forgot about having the card square lol!

Anyway, the effort is not wasted at all, as the card enters the current Tuesday Morning Sketches challenge, for I used their lovely sketch :)

Thank you so much for visiting!

Butterflies & flowers

Back as I promised, with two cards this time.
I'm really glad that it takes a fraction of the time now to create a card, than it used to when I started a few months ago. I remember that back then I could spend even four hours fiddling with one card! (and in the end it it would look rather poor anyway :P)
If I were so sluggish still, I definitely wouldn't be able to keep up with all these wonderful and inspiring challenge blogs :)
This is the first of my quickies, that I made for Mojo Monday Week 109:

I did not hold on to the sketch too rigidly though... somehow when it comes to Mojo Monday's sketches, I always end up with a project more or less modified... *rolls eyes*
I coloured the butterfly with watercolour pencils, blended and glittered - and oh boy does it sparkle! Since I did so, I'm entering the card for "Bling It Somethings" at Stamp Something.

My next project uses the CPS 138 sketch from Card Positioning Systems:

I also used the colour scheme from OCC's recent challenge, which is: Soft suede, Handsome Hunter, Sage Shadow & Blush Blossom. Finally, the card goes for "F is for Flying" at ABC Challenge, and "It's So Distressing!" at Charisma Cards.

Hope you enjoyed, thank you for stopping by today!

I'm back after a week's break!

Whew, it was a hell of a week! However, I didn't necessarily lack the time for card making - I gave myself a break for a purpose, aiming to refresh my mojo a little. Also, I enjoyed devoting more time to my newborn Zuzia, although we did have some tough moments, lol.
As I'd expect, there is a bunch of new challenges waiting in line, some delicious sketches to start with!
I'm planning to play with a few today - I'll see how it goes, but for now I'm here to show you what I've done so far:

The sketch comes from The Pink Elephant. Speaking of which, I'm delighted to share with you some wonderful news that I found myself amongst the winners of their previous challenge with my Happy Hauntings card! That's my second TPE win, the more happy I am, for it's an honour to gain recognition of such talented ladies!

The project also enters Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC38). Dee Jackson, this week's host, wants us to use some watercolouring, and I used my watercolour pencils for the image. For those who didn't recognize it already, it comes from the Precious Moments series. I found a bunch of them cuties recently, while googling for some nice freebie digi stamps, and I can't believe how these incredibly gorgeous images can be used for free!
I fell in love with the characters instantly, so expect seeing many more projects of mine featuring these cute kids! :)
The last challenge for the card is "Blue" at Crafty Creations. Of course, it's about making a project using blue colour. Winter is an excellent theme for this!

That's it for now, meet me later today with a new creation!
Thank you for stopping by,

In a Holiday mood

I'm running late with posting lately, but it was one hectic day... it's almost midnight, and I've just finished the cards that I started making this morning... being so fast thanks to my gorgeous little newborn :P
The first one was designed for two challenges that occur at the same place, which is a recently found blog - Flourishes Newsletter. This is another one to host some extremely talented Design Team, not to mention that the stamps they're promoting are exactly my type! I sooo wish I could play with some of them... :)
Anyway, as I mentioned, they hold two challenges at the moment, one being a sketch, and the other one requiring some sparkle added to the project - and my goodness, I'd rarely drool over the prize as much as I do for this one, for they're giving out 6 brand new stamp sets!!! =P
Here's my card that uses "sketch C" and features some glitter (on Santa's beard, mustache & hat) - it's not much in comparison with the stunning samples from the DT members, but I'm sure it will do:

Since I also wanted to play with the current Mercy's sketch today, I decided that I add glittery bits to this one too. Here's my second card:

I love the way it turned out, especially that I drew the image myself (the stamp certainly exists, but surprise surprise... I don't own it :D ) I then coloured it with watercolour pencils, but have not blended them, since I liked the rough effect. The glitter is added to the snow & the snowflakes in the air.
I chose the colours from the Color Throwdown 64, which are baja breeze, chocolate and sahara sand. The last one turned out more like beige on the photo, and it's because I took the picture in the yellowy lamp light, that warmed up the colours.

Thanks for stopping by!

A simple duo

Hello again! :) I'm back with the last post for tonight - and I should have nothing to complain about, as I managed to make 5 cards, which was a good number even when little Zuzia was not here yet! She did give me a hard time today though, but at least - being a newborn - she sleeps a great deal ;)
I'm still recovering after a C-section too, also trying to adjust to this tremendous change in my life, thus I still can't do much apart from what I can squeeze into short breaks between the feedings... so I find cardmaking very relaxing :)
But on to the project:

These two are very simple designs, yet I find them most pleasing... mainly because they use my favourite colour combination of blue/teal and deep brown.
The "keep in touch" card is my free take on Kazan's sketch 37 from 2S4Y, and the "count your blessings" one follows the current sketch from CPS. I made them both tall so that they also suit the Shape Up and Stand Tall! challenge at CCEE Stampers. Lastly, they're both entering "Brown Plus Something" at Stamp Something Challenge Blog as my second submission.
Now I'm calling it a day and going to get some much needed sleep :)
Thank you so much for visiting and commenting!
Chupa xx

Thankful for you

After having finished a "thankful" card earlier today, I felt like one more entry for a respective challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges. Here it is:

I find cards with bold sentiments (or better yet - quotes) working as main focal points very appealing, but I have preciously few stamps that would do a respectable job alone.
Therefore, as some of you probably noticed, whenever I need an image/sentiment that I don't have, I search the internet for it and then I draw/write what I've chosen. The effect is never as neat as if I were to use an original stamp, but to me a slightly imperfect image is better than no image at all ;)
On this card I combined a hand-written sentiment with a stamped image of the rose.
The sketch comes from the latest Mojo Monday; also the card enters the Day 226 challenge at 365 Cards, that is about including the word "so" somewhere on the project.
Thank you for visiting!

Autumn in Spring

There's a lot to Autumn to love, but nothing can beat the charming colours that the season has to offer. At this time of year, when we've just entered Spring in Oz, I envy my friends from Northern Hemisphere, that are about to enjoy this marvelous spectacle of reds, purples and yellows that we lack for so severely here... At least I can keep up making Autumn cards, and thus enjoy this richness whenever I please :)
Here's one:

This is my response or the "Fall" theme at TPE, as well as "Brown Plus Something" at Stamp Something Challenge Blog. I also finally succeeded in including all the components from Charisma Cards' recipe (1 ribbon, 3 flowers, 3 papers, 1 charm) on this card. This was perhaps my fourth attempt to do so, but previously I'd either forget to add some element, or deliberately resign from it. I combined three flowers to make one blossom though, and I got rid of the charm's ring, so that it's not attached to anything like it normally would, but adhered to the paper.
The sketch for the project comes from 2S4Y, and it's a bonus one. I will definitely have a go for their second sketch later, partly because I really like the prize lol!!
Thanks for taking a peek!
Chupa xx

Grateful for challenges

I do LOVE challenges :) They give me constant, best source of inspiration, keep my creative juices flowing, and they're fun! The only bad side of participating in a number of them regularly is that the new ones keep coming daily, and for an addict like me it means a lot to keep up with! Especially with a demanding newborn to take care of... :P
That's why my cards are simplified lately, as I have no time to fiddle around too much - but at the same time my preferences tend to steer towards clean & simple style anyway - the style that I have not yet mastered, but I'm trying to ;)
Here's my new card for you:

The sketch is Karen's from The Sweetest Thing, and I'm also entering it for the "Truly Thankful" challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges, which is about creating a card with a thankful theme.
The sentiment I from Verve I believe, but again - I don't own the stamp, so it's handwritten. Stamped are the flowers around the sentiment though.
Thanks for stopping by!
Chupa xx

Let your light shine

When I decided that I make a card for the Daring Cardmakers "Autumn Purple" challenge, I had only the set of papers chosen to work with, and a sketch that I was planning to use with them (which is a current challenge at Card Patterns). I didn't yet know what theme I actually want to set for the project, but I decided that I start anyway, and some idea will eventually pop into my mind. After having adhered the background, I rummaged randomly through my stash and found a chipboard star, and let me tell you - me likey how this spontaneously created card turned out! :)

The sentiment is Verve's invention, but since I don't own it, I wrote it myself using a white marker.
Verve lovers will easily notice the difference :)
Thank you for stopping by today!
Chupa xx

Play time fun

One Stop Craft team asks us to create a birthday project this week - easy peasy :) For my card I used the current sketch provided by OCC's Lori Rider.

I haven't coloured in the stamped image, instead I applied different shades of glitter to the particular gift boxes. It was a quick project, but it looks pretty nice :)
Hope you like it too, thanks for popping in!
Chupa xx

So charming!

I'm having one of those days, when my lil' sweet pea leaves me with precious little time for myself, so this card I've been gradually making since morning, and it's already tea time :)

I used this sketch from Friday Sketchers, but changed it slightly - I replaced the oval image with the flower, making it the main feature of the project. I also left the bow on the top unattached to the middle section.
I created a simple charm of two different beads, so that the card can enter the "So Charming!" challenge at Cute Card Thursday. The colours that I used respond to the combination given by the Color Throwdown this week. These are: kraft, olive green, dark brown, dark yellow.
(I don't know why some colours turned out untrue - they appear colder on the photo, making kraft look more like violet, and the brown mat rather like a dark gray one... I apologize for that, as it may look like I didn't quite follow the colours...)

Thank you for stopping by, happy crafting!

Monochromatic revisited

The card that I made yesterday for the two challenges of the same theme did not satisfy me enough, so I decided to give it another try. The challenges that I'm talking about are "Monochromatic Mania" at TSG and "Monochromatic" at Paper Blooms. This submission certainly pleases my eye far more than the previous one.

I drew inspiration for this card from this most lovely creation by Loretta Lock. I admire every piece of art that's made by this talented lady, she totally rocks! There is no way I could make anything as precious and neat, often working with no quality stuff to start with, but I'm trying! :)
Anyway, I hope you will like what I did with the challenge, thank you for visiting!

Back with a Christmas card...again :)

I really enjoy making holiday cards lately... not only there are so many wonderful themes to try, but they are perhaps the most useful projects to work on - apart from the b-day or thank you cards that are always handy :)
This time I created for another blog that I found recently - Peachy Keen Stamps. I really must stop it, I've already got 30 places that I regularly submit to! *rolls eyes*
I couldn't resist this one though - their challenges are yummy, and so are the prizes! *grin*
This week's theme is a recipe: use colours blue & purple, a stamped image, a greeting, and 3 snowflakes. Here is my submission:

Thank you for looking, hope to see you again soon!

Monochromatic vs. two-tone

Whew...I had quite a day! My 2 week old girl was having some kind of ache, and I couldn't calm her down, no matter what I tried.... talk about the first tremendous motherly experience lol.
I managed to squeeze in some time for crafting though, you know me ;)
Here's the first of the two cards that I created:

Two different challenge blogs gave us the same task this week - to create a monochromatic card - and this is my response to both of them. They are "Monochromatic Mania" at TSG, and "Monochromatic" at Paper Blooms. I'm also entering it for the "Christmas in October" challenge at Creative Inspirations Challenge Blog, another nice place that I found yesterday. The sketch that I used comes from CPS.

The second card goes for Colour Create's colour combo for this week, which is red, yellow, black & white. I know this is an obvious invitation to make another Halloween project, but I decided to follow a different path.

The other challenge for this one is "Pick 5" over at 365 Cards. It's about using 5 different elements on the project, and mine are: 2 patterned papers, 1 length of ribbon and 2 stamped images.

Thank you so much for looking!
Chupa xx

Have a helluva day!

I made another Halloween card, this time for the current week's challenge on Simon Says... Even though I have already submitted one project for the recent sketch at Lord Have Mercy!, it was an ideal one for what I had in mind, so I used it once more... after a few alterations ;)



I found this cute devil on this website, and I liked it so much that I drew it (scroll down for the samples on T-shirts for the image).
The sentiment is hand-written.

Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting!

Just hatched

Last card for tonight folks :)
This one is made for the Papertake Weekly current sketch. There are so many baby sample cards over there, that they got me inspired to make one too.
Since the colours are light pastels, I'm also entering this one for the "All Shades Of Pale" challenge at Crafty Creations.

Thank you so much for visiting!

Sketchfest Wednesday ;)

Today I concentrated on "doing" a few sketches, and thus I've got three new cards to share with you (I'm not calling it a day yet!)
On to the first project.
The sketch that I used here comes from Tuesday Morning Sketches:

My next card is a second entry for Mojo Madness 107 (the sketch). It also goes for Something with Apples/Teachers/School at Stamp Something.

The last one uses another lovely sketch from Lord Have Mercy! I'm too going to give it another go for the Autumn Inspiration at One Stop Craft.

Thank you for stopping by, hope you like them!

Mojo Madness!

Here's my take on this week's Mojo Contest:

Nothing overly exciting I must say, I can definitely do better, but oh well... it doesn't hurt to enter the challenge with it, since there are soo yummy prizes to win! ;)
I might have another try on this great sketch tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by!
