Well, phooey.

Apparently I wasn't paying any attention to the date when I sat down to create my challenge cards this week. I finished both my Mojo Monday and Play Date Cafe cards in plenty of time, but forgot to post and link them before the deadlines! Ugh. Oh well; I can still post them here.

Here's the Mojo Monday #203 sketch:

And here's my card:

The Play Date Cafe #94 colors this week were Fudge, Goldenrod, and Teal:

Here's my card. Trying to make some more masculine agape cards, since the men's Emmaus walk is coming up in September. 

Simply LOVING my new Verve stamps I just purchased recently! 

Mojo Monday #202

Mojo Monday again! Here's the sketch:

And here's what I came up with:

I saw the technique for making the flower in the latest Paper Crafts magazine and decided to give it try. I raided my sewing boxes for the rick rack - it came out pretty cool! 

Here's a close up:

Mojo Monday #201

I don't remember how I found them, but I have stumbled onto several new (what I call) challenge blogs - and I'm hooked! The first one I tried is called Mojo Monday. Each week they post a sketch, and then you create something and post a link back on their site. Here's this week's sketch: 

I was a little intimidated by how many different things there are on the sketch - I don't usually do ribbons, bows or tags, and I've never made a circle or square card either. I happened to find this great combination of papers while going through some of my scraps, and the matching buttons, and the rest seemed to fall into place. I am VERY happy with how it came out!
