Mojo Monday #148

My friend asked me to make a card for her that she can give to a couple that is getting married in the fall and the current colour Q challenge was perfect for it! If these aren't fall colours, I don't know what are:) I also used the mojo monday sketch challenge to make this card. I stole the idea to use butterflies in the squares from LeAnne Pugliese:) Thanks Leanne for the inspiration:) I'm not impressed with the ribbon as it is, so I might have to change it a bit:)


Supplies:
-chocolate chip, whisper white, and pumpkin pie cardstock
-Welcome Neighbour, Sweet Pea, and real red DSP
-pumpkin pie and real red ink
-brown brads
-chocolate chip satin ribbon, twine
-basic grey button
-"Kind and Caring Thoughts" and "Great Friend" stamp sets

Embellish and FTL #99

After the Farmer's Market I realized that I needed to build up my birthday card supply, so I used the new Embellish colour challenge to make one. What a daunting colour challenge! Orange and Turquoise, yowza! Plus ric-rac! I'm not quite sure I made it work. I think I would have liked this card better if I had left out the ric-rac or used it in another way:) Ah well, maybe someone will like it:)



Supplies:
-bermuda bay, whisper white and crumb cake cardstock
-chocolate chip satin ribbon
-chocolate chip, pumpkin pie, and bermuda bay ink
-white ric-rac
-corner rounder
-stampin dimensionals

Thinking of You...

In addition to the 3 cards that Molly bought from me at the farmer's market (see below) she also commissioned me to make her 3 more sympathy cards. Well, given that I hadn't made a new card in awhile, I was way behind in my sketch challenges and had a lot of inspiration to use:) Here are some that I made for her, hopefully they are what she had in mind:



I used Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #119 for this first card. This is a new challenge site for me, but I'm really liking their sketches so far:) As soon as I saw the three cut panels I knew I wanted to use the tulip from "Garden Whimsy".
Supplies:
-whisper white, rose red, and old olive cardstock
-Sweet Pea and Welcome Neighbour DSP
-old olive, pretty in pink, and rose red ink
-pretty in pink satin ribbon
-"Garden Whimsy" and "Kind and Caring Thoughts"




I used Card Patterns' sketch #72 for this next one. I love sketches like this one and now that I have my Cricut to cut out the squares they are even more fun:)
Supplies:
-soft suede and very vanilla cardstock
-Sweet Pea and Welcome Neighbour DSP
-twine
-soft suede ink
-fabric flower and brad from supply
-"kind and Caring Thoughts"




I used another TESC for this next one! They are so great, you have to check them out:)
Supplies:
-chocolate chip and whisper white cardstock
-Welcome Neighbour and Good Morning Sunshine DSP
-scallop border punch
-so saffron and chocolate chip ink
-"Kind and Caring Thoughts"

1st Farmer's Market:)

Busy, busy, busy! There's been a lack of updates on the blog because I haven't made any new cards for awhile. My friend Amie, her mother-in-law Molly and I went to our first farmer's market on thursday. I went to get all of the cards that I had made and realized that over half of them weren't finished!! So all of the time spent in my craft room was used to do the insides of all of my cards:) New Rule: finish a card top to bottom (before you use the patterned paper you need on another card). Anyways, it was a fun farmer's market and we will definetly do it again. I didn't sell any cards to any strangers, but my co-workers were very supportive:) I did manage to cross an item off of my 10 Things To Do in 2010 list: sell a card at a farmer's market (Molly was very sweet and was my very first customer:) Here are some pictures:




Aren't these hypertufa pots super cool! Might have to buy one for myself at the next farmer's market:)
