Good Morning, I'm working double duty because I need to make up for no posting last week. So here it is, I'm participating in Mojo132 Monday and SCS's Technique Lover's Challenge. I had a lot of fun creating this card; The SU! stamp set, A Good Egg, has been waiting to be inked up, so to speak. I especially like the vintage feel of this card. I have an old soul, so the more vintage feel the card has the better.
The SCS challenge to "do up" the inside of the card was a challenge. Usually, I put so much energy in the front of a card, the inside goes untouched. It really didn't need much more to include the inside as it did the front. I liked the simplicity of the inside, let me know what you think.
RECIPE (SU! supplies used unless noted)
Stamp Set: A Good Egg
Ink: Basic Black, Pretty In Pink, Barely Banana, and Apricot Appeal
Cardstock Paper: Pretty In Pink and Sweet Pea DP Paper Stack
That Little Something: Shell Button, Pretty In Pink Taffeta Ribbon, Texture Kit #4
That Little Helper: Sewing Machine and Nestabilities,
Good Morning, everyone!
Yep, it's getting better; it's mojo on a Wednesday! Maybe next week will be "mojo on Thrusday." I guess the card should be green since it's St. Patrick's Day...seems I am a day late and a day stamp short. Well, have to see if I have enough time since my hubby and I are heading to the Experince Hendrix concert at the historic Orphem Theatre. Here's the advisement from the concert website:
This very special concert event celebrating the music of Jimi Hendrix gathers an amazing all-star line-up of rock guitarists! Scheduled to appear: Joe Satriani, Billy Cox (of Band of Gypsys and the Jimi Hendrix Experience), Sacred Steel featuring Robert Randolph, Jonny Lang, Susan Tedeschi, Eric Johnson, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Ernie Isley, David Hidalgo & Cesar Rosas (from Los Lobos), Aerosmith guitarist Brad Whitford, Doyle Bramhall II, Living Colour, Legendary Howlin' Wolf guitarist Hubert Sumlin, and Chris Layton of Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble. Other special guests to be announced.
Oh, maybe I should create a Hendrix card...I'll have to see what I can do...I don't know if I have any ROCKN' stamps. I'll get back to you. Until then, here's what I create for the Mojo Monday card challenge:
RECIPE (SU! supplies used unless noted)
Stamp Set: Four Square
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Rangers Walnut Distress Ink
Cardstock Paper: Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette (retired) and Bella Birds DP (retired)
That Little Something: Pink Pirouette ribbon, Rhinestone (which is hidden underneath the ribbon end)
That Little Helper: Mat Pack with Piercing thingie, Scallop Trim Punch, Nestabilities,
Good Evening! Finally a posting...time has been precious last week. I didn't have a lot of time to create in my craft room. However, I did have enough time to go shopping with my misfit quilting friends! Fun, Fun, Fun!
Today, I made Monster Cookies...Yummy. Got the recipe from one of my misfit quilting friends. It is as follows:
Michelle's Monster Cookies
1/2 cup Butter
3 Eggs
1 cup Brown Sugar (packed)
1 cup White Sugar
1 Tbsp Vanilla
16 oz. Chunky Peanut Butter (I like to use Chunky verses using Peanuts)
2 tsp. Baking Soda
4 1/2 cup Oatmeal
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
1/2 lb. M & M's
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes. This recipe makes 5 dozen cookies.
I, also, had time to create my anniversary card. I participated in the SplitcoastStampers.com sketch from last Wednesday. I seem to be drawn to card sketches as a foundation; it assists in the layout which I find to be too time consuming. Any ho, on the 19th of March, I will be married to the greatest guy for 5 years. I am one of many who proclaim they are married to a wonderful guy! My membership to this (silent) group is wonderful. The card isn't anything super, but I did something different. I used a SU! rub-on image then ink sponged over it and wiped away the ink from the rub-on image. This card is what I was left with...
RECIPE (SU! supplies used unless noted)
Stamp Set: Three Little Words and Texture Stampin Around (jumbo)
Ink: Sahara Sand and Black
Cardstock: Sahara Sand and To The Nines Specialty DP
That Little Something: Icicle Rub On
That Little Helper: Sponge
Honestly, if I could buy time, I would be in debt up to my eyeballs. I had wanted to post this card yesterday, but as the end of the day came closer and closer, I knew that my wish was not going to be fulfilled. And as the end of today inches closer, I had better high-tail-it-in-gear to get this post completed. I wish I had the SU! beautiful wings embosslits like my Oregonian Peep, check her card out: www.petitedoodle.com/mojo128. It turned out C-U-T-E!! Any how, here's what I came up with for the Mojo Challenge 128 (see below):
RECIPE
Stamp Set: Vintage Labels from Sale-a-Bration

Cardstock Paper: DCWV paper bundle
