MOJO #125

Hi there,

just a short post today as we are heading out of town to Atlanta ....

This is my take for MOJO Monday#125

I just Julee's newest release "Accent Notes" and just grapped some scraps that were laying on my desk.... The sahara sand background was dry embossed with SU Perfect Details - unfortunately you can't see it on the photo.

I used my trusty EKsuccess border punch, pearl stickers, orange zest ribbon from PTI, circle and scallop circle nesties and some SU markers for coloring. That is all.Simple, huh? I love this new set!

Thank you for visiting me today - Take care

Hugs Tanja

MOJO Monday #121

Hi there,

just a quick post today because appointments are chasing each other today ;-)

This is my take for this week's MOJO Monday. I really wanted to try the flower that my dear friend Arielle has showcast in a tutorial. I like how the flower turned out but I'm not sure about the rest of the card. I guess there are just these days where nothing really comes together, you know what I mean?

I stamped the sentiment with Versamark and basic black ink and sprinkled it with this sparkling embossing powder. Unfortunately the picture is not enough to show it ....

Thank you for visitng me today - I'm so amazed by all this wonderful ladies who stop by everyday, leave a comment or just lurking around. Thank you so much you girls. You really make my days.

Hugs Tanja

Sugar 'n Spice

Hi there,

this is a cutie, isn't she? My friend Kadie sent me some images and she was one of them. I inked her up and paired her with some scrap-leftover from my Key Ingredients from Taylored Expression. Did I tell you that I love this paper? Oh, well .... MOJO Monday's sketch for this week seemed to be a perfect match for her. So I put everything together, added a rub-on from Old Saint Nick (SU), riding hood red ribbon, some embellies and ... voilà!

Thank you for stopping by and for all the nice comment you left - they are very much appreciated!

Don't forget to hug your loved ones today

MOJO110 and ColorQ4

Good evening!!!!

Finally I finished my card for this 2 challenges - though I have to admit that I'm not too excited about it. Something is missing .....

The colors Arielle chose for her color challenge this week are just beautiful. But without any fall stamps .. well, I haven't had a lot of ideas. So I pulled out this gorgeous stamp set from SU and colored it up with markers. That is so easy and I like the effect. Everything else is self-explaining ... :-)

I'm on the go again - like I said ... crazy week here. Tomorrow we will go to a pumpkin atch with the boy's preschool to pick some pumpkins and carve them later on. Hope to show you some pics of Jack-O-Lantern next week. And we had the first "case" of swine-flu in preschool ... Please keep your fingers crossed for us!!!!!!

Short note for Arielle: I haven't forgotten you - will call you tomorrow night! I promise ***hugs****

I wish you all a wonderful weekend and for those who are dealing with the weather please stay safe and warm!

Hugs Tanja

I'm back from vacation!!!!!

Hello ladies,

I'm back from a lifetime-vacation! We spent some days in Disney World, Olando, FL and Seaworld. It was awesome and I will post pictures here as soon as they are "prepared" ....

At first I had to send a huge "Thank you" to my friend Arielle - I was crowned by her as a colorQueen for participating in her first color challenge, woohoo, how cool is that? Hop over and check out her challenge - it is so inspiring!

For today I have 3 cards to share with you.

The first is made of a card-kit I got from my card-kit-swap-SS and I had to play with it immediately.

So, I just put together everything I got from her in the kit. What do you think?

The second and third card are made for two challenges: MOJO Monday and colorQ. I had somebody in mind who needs some uplifting "thoughts" and I love the sketch Julee from Verve had prepared and the color my friend Arielle chose for this weeks color challenge - so fall-ish!! The stamp is from Our Daily Bread Design and everything else is SU.

Kelly, one of those cards are going out to your friend ***waving***, a little late but it comes from the heart ....

Thank you for stopping by today and I will be back with picture next time!!!!

Take care

Hugs Tanja

P.S. sorry for the blurry pics - but we had not enough sunlight so I had to take 'em inside ... bleh ...

You are my sunshine ....

Good morning,

this will be just a short post as I'm on my way out of the door ...

I wanted to use up some scrap paper that I am hording and hording and .... well, this DP sat on my desk after my little ones decided to grap some of Mommy's paper for cutting and other creating purposes ......... Huh, that's another story! But I wanted to use it with this bright and funny sun from Peachy Keens. Believe it or not - every item on this card is "scrap" and I love when it comes together and I can even use a nice sketch for it - like this MOJO Monday one- !

And due to the length of the cardstock I made a 4 1/4x 4 1/4''. Has anybody an idea where I could find a template for a selfmade envie for this size????? Help would very much appreciated :-)

Have a wonderful day

Hugs Tanja

stamp: You are my sunshine - PKS

another challenge

Hi there,

this time I tried the MOJO Monday challenge #89.

Again, I used one of the images I got in a card kit swap - believe me I just participated in 2 card kit swaps and I still have a lot of images as leftovers  =).  The image is from Stamingbella ...

I colored it with my SU markers and sponged all around the little girl.  The cs is mellow moss which I embossed with embossing template from SU. And underneath the yellow flower ... I stamped a flower from Inkadinkado in perfect plum on whisper white and punched it out.

Tomorrow I will be on my way to bring my husband to the Montgomery airport - he will go on a river-rafting-tour in the Grand Canyon with our neighbor! So no post tomorrow but I'm gonna show you another card with this lovely girl on Friday. Stay tuned!!!!

Hugs Tanja
