{ Mojo Monday 142 }

Here is my card for Mojo Monday sketch 142. I am using scraps that were left over...trying to clean up. The card base I made some time ago and I never finished the card I was making. I think the paper is Jilibean Soup. I had this Maya Road envelope, not sure what happened to the top, but I added some scraps of Crepe paper inside. The crepe paper is sprayed with Shimmerz. I have this adorable bird stamp from Prima that I totally forgot about. Love it!

I wanted to share a photo of Alex from last week when we went shopping for flowers.

( Elle's Studio June blog challenge }

This month's challenge is Thank you gifts for teachers. I made a Thank you card with earrings and a decorative pillow sachet.

***We want to see your teacher gifts using Elle's Studio products! Upload it to the web and post your link on the blog, in the comment section OR email us a photo of your project. And, make sure you get them in by the 25th of June. Everyone that does will be entered into a drawing for a $30 gift certificate to the shop! The winner will be announced here on the 25th and we'll be posting some of the entries we receive.

For the card background I used our A Sweet Summer Mini Papers and Triple Scalloped Large Journaling Circle Tag for the sentiment and the flower. The flower is made from sewing pattern tissue paper.

I used a Triple Scalloped Large Journaling Circle Tag to display the earrings that I made. I stamped A Sweet Summer Stamp on the edge, tied ribbon and punched a hole for the earrings.I attached the tag to the bag with a decorative clip.

 

  I made the little pillow with some fun fabric and I stamped A Sweet Summer Stamp on the outside. I added little buttons to the centers and a ribbon. The little pillow is packaged in the brown sack.

I hope you have time to play this month.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge -summer/beach/nautical }

The challenge was Beach/Nautical, but I messed up and made a Summer card. Oh well, I like it. I used CPS #169 for the card.

I used some of the new Impression Obsession stamps. Cover-a-card Distress Dots (CC046) and Ornate Corner (F5550). I stamped the Distress Dots with Summer Sun Ink and then I sprayed the Ornate Corner with blue Shimmerz spray and stamped it.  I added a doily to the top that I sponged with some ink.
The beautiful butterfly is Dream Butterfly (H1774) that I cut out. I added a button and a flower that I covered with Shimmerz Vibez. The sentiment is from Anytime Sentiments set (CL43) and it's perfect for a Summer sentiment. For a fun embellishment I stamped a sun from Summer Seals (CL107) and cut it in half.

I hope you'll take the time to visit the other designers' blogs for inspiration!  Jeanne,  Julie, Kathy, Dina, Laura and Jenny.

{ CupCards{to go} June kit ~ Sunrays }

I just wanted to share my creations with the June kit from CupCards {to go}. Kit is on sale NOW. Make sure you check out the DT gallery for more kit ideas. Everything you see here comes in the kit, except the white and brown floss. Those came in one of the earlier kits.

I made the kite by tracing the chipboard shape that came in the kit and then cutting up the papers.

For this card I cut up the chipboard shape and covered it with paper to create the banner. You can see the step by step instructions HERE.

This is my sketch card.
