Mojo Monday

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We were hit with a winter storm, but what good weather for crafting! I'd like to share with you my card for Mojo Monday 123. That's a lot of challenges! This is actually the first time I have entered this challenge. The rules were to design a card with a supplied sketch. I chose "Chelsea" from The Greeting Farm:
I had some bright and cheery design paper with paisleys and of course I had to emboss my card stock with paisleys. This kind of melts the winter time blues.
About my card:
Making Memories "Simply Fabulous" design paper
SU card stock
Prima hydrangea and Martha Stewart punched hydrangeas
Dew drops, flower jewelry, green stickles
Copics: E000, E00, R11, R20, R22, E13, E18, E19, Y38, YG0000

Sugar Creek Hollow

I am so Excited to be able to share this card with you today!!! The Sugar Creek Hollow Design Team and I have been working hard behind the scene creating cards to share with you for the Grand Opening. We couldn't resist holding back!! We want to share with you just a preview of what is to come.
Spring Flourish
This is a lovely vintage design, just one of many. I think the design paper from Laura Ashley is a perfect background for this beautiful flourish of flowers. I added a flourished label, also available from Sugar Creek Hollow. I used Prismacolor Pencils and chalk to color my designs. To achieve more of a vintage look, I added die cut embellishments courtesy of Spellbinders. A satin ribbon completes my card.

Pixie Dust Studio, Buster and Wink

This digi stamp from Pixie Dust Studio really caught my eye! This is just one of the cutest digi images I have seen. This will be perfect for my grandson's birthday cards. I knew as soon as I purchased this what design paper I would use. DCWV "All About the Boys" has as you can see, a design in their collection with airplanes on it. Isn't this just too perfect?
I wanted a banner to be towed by the plane to display my sentiment "Dare to dream". I did not have one, so I designed one myself and printed the sentiment with my Design Runner. The stars were a must since they were on the DP and were cut with my Creative Memories star punch.
About my card:
DCWV All About the Boys
SU and misc. cardstock
Copics: E000, E00, E31, E33, E35, E39, R11, R27, R29, R37, R59, B32, BG0000, C7, Y17, Y38 and YRY16
